Chapter 3
Elliott saw that I was silent and continued to speak to me, saying, “Your sister lost her innocence in the past to save you How come you don’t know how to repay your own sins?”
I looked at today’s calendar and suddenly asked, “Honey, today is April Fools Day, are you joking with me
Elliott’s face grew cold as he said very seriously, “Laylah, I wasn’t joking. You would just lose a kidney. Your sister is lying in the hospital right now, on the verge of losing her life”
I wiped the tears from the corner of Elliott’s eyes and said slowly, “I understand. Since even your family members have agreed, I also agree.”
The moment Lagreed, Elliott happily spun me around in circles.
But I couldn’t laugh no matter how hard I tried
That day, Elliott arranged for me and Melanie to enter the operating room together.
When I inhaled the cold anesthesia, my body couldn’t stop coughing and trembling
The moment I stepped out of the operating room, I looked at Elliott’s smiling face and felt that today’s event was worth it.
But I couldn’t find my reflection in Elliott’s eyes.

The doctor said, “The surgery was successful.”
Elliott excitedly shed tears by Melanie’s bed in the past and joyfully pushed Melanie into the VIP ward.
But I moved into a crowded regular ward,

Elliott slammed the file in his hand onto the table and shouted at me, “Do you know that during the two years you were in prison, it was took care of me and helped me.”
“She fell ill, and it was partly my fault. I must repay the debt.”
“And you were just a parasite who had been in jail, a rat in the gutter. Why did you have to cling to me?”
