I was eighteen when I donated one of my kidneys to Susie Grant, but she died to transplant rejection anyway, and I was chased out of the Grant family.Before long, the surgery incision festered, and I died of infection in the streets.
When I opened my eyes again, I was five once more, and it was the day I was taken back to the Grant family's home.
But this time, my brother Harry stepped in front of our parents, pointing at me as he said, "There's been a mistake. She's not actually my sister."
Seeing the look of contempt in his eyes, I knew he had reincarnated too.
As our parents left in disappointment, he shoved me a piece of candy and told me, "The Grant family just needs one daughter. There's no place for you among us if you can't save Susie."
Chapter 1
My fingers clenched around the candy, its stiff edge almost cutting my palm.
Indeed, in our previous lives, he had been convinced that my only purpose was to be a blood bank and organ donor to Susie.
Since Susie still died after I donated my kidney, that meant I served no purpose in this life, and the Grants had no reason to bring home a loser like me.
I smiled, violently wiping the tears I couldn't fight back as I told myself—the old Yvie Grant was dead and I would live only for myself.
As I returned inside to my quiet corner in the orphanage, a big black sedan soon stopped outside the gates of the orphanages.
Soon, the caretaker was leading an elderly gray-haired man inside, and the other children were at once abuzz, flocking toward him like a swarm of locusts to present their gifts.
"Hello, Sir!'
"Let me sing for you, Sir!"
"Can you look at my drawings, Sir?"
I alone sat at that quiet corner, looking like a complete outsider.
As such, Carl Simpson noticed me right then and slowly trudged through the crowd with his cane toward me.
"What are you doing here all alone, sweetie?" He smiled at me. "Do the rest of the kids not like you or something?"
I shook my little head as I looked up and handed him the candy that had gotten warm because I had held on to it for so long.
"Would you like some candy?" I asked with a calmness and maturity that didn't suit my age.
Carl appeared surprised even as he took the candy, unpeeled the wrapper, and put it in his mouth.
"Hmm. It's so sweet." He smiled pleasantly, studying me before asking, "What's your name?"
"The caretaker said my name is Yvie…"
"Yvie…" He breathed the syllables and nodded. "Would you like to come home with me? As my granddaughter?"
Silence ensued all around us, and every other child was staring at me jealously.
Still, I nodded without hesitation. "Okay."
"Good, good!" Carl smiled as he took my hand in his warm palm that also felt a little dry. "From now on, your name shall be Ruby Simpson, for I hope you will become a precious gem in the future too."
Understanding the admiration and expectation in his words, I unwittingly clenched tightly on his palm in turn.
And with that, I became the precious gem of the Simpson family.
Carl himself treasured me, personally teaching me to read and write, and on philosophy.
