The youngest daughter of the wealthy Andrews Family was killed by my sister’s car. My mother and my fiancé both forced me to take the blame.“Melody is delicate and can’t endure hardship, but you were just brought back from the mountain village. You’ll definitely be able to endure it. Can’t you just do it?” said my mother.
“Didn’t you pester me to marry you? As long as you go to jail for Melody, I’ll agree to anything,” chimed my fiancé.
With a broken heart, I was taken away by the Andrews Family. Five years of torture in prison and a kidney. Those were the price for my sacrifice.
I had completely repaid my mother’s debt of gratitude for giving me life. But on the day I was released from prison, my mother knelt down again and begged me to donate a kidney for my sister.
“Melody has a terminal illness. How can you, as her sister, stand by and watch her die?”
My fiancé also issued an ultimatum: if I didn’t agree, I would be forcibly taken away.
In despair, I called Dominic, the eldest son of the Andrews Family.
“Didn’t you say you hated me and wanted to torture me forever? Come and take me away. I’m willing to spend my whole life repaying the debt I owe your sister…”
Dominic didn’t refuse. He merely said, “Address.”
After I finished speaking, he coldly hung up the phone. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Dominic and I had known each other since we were first brought back to Asterum.
Now I could only turn to him for help. I touched the ugly scar on my abdomen, feeling a mixture of emotions.
While I was in prison, the Andrews Family had already taken one of my kidneys. I only had one left. If I gave it to Melody, I’d be dead.
I had no money and nowhere else to go. There was no way I could resist the Conner Family or my fiancé’s family.
So, even though I knew Dominic only hated me now, I must first seek refuge with him, seeking a glimmer of hope.
At this moment, my mother knocked on my door. Her eyes were red and puffy. “Kendall, have you thought about it? I know you’re angry and jealous of Melody’s comfortable life since childhood, but she’s your sister, after all. Now she’s lying on the operating table, her condition getting worse by the day. Can you really bear to ignore her?”
I frowned and interrupted her coldly, “Enough! Asterum is so big, am I the only one who’s a successful match with her?! Besides, if you love her so much, why don’t you donate your kidney? Why wait until I’m released from prison?”
Hearing this, my mother flew into a rage. She raised her hand and slapped me hard. “You uneducated bastard! I’m your mother. How dare you talk to me like that? I came here with good intentions to advise you and you’re so ungrateful. Whether you like it or not, Raymond will send someone to take you away tonight. Just wait at home!”
My face instantly swelled up and the pain spread to my heart. I gave a wry smile. “You’re right, I’m uneducated. After all, when I was six, you remarried, leaving me alone in the mountain village and taking care of Melody. Of course, I became a neglected bastard.”
My biological father was killed by a wild beast while hunting. Upon hearing the news of his death, my mother cried for three days and three nights.
Ultimately, she decided to secretly remarry Jackson, a wealthy businessman from Asterum, holding two-year-old Melody.
I was the one left behind. I finally made it to twenty and she brought me to Asterum to live. I thought I’d finally find the family love I so desperately longed for.
But I never expected that the purpose of my existence would be to be Melody’s blood bag. My thoughts returned to my senses and I shoved my guilty-looking mother out.
I turned, slammed the door shut and locked it. She didn’t know that from the moment I was sent to prison, I had completely figured it out. I no longer wanted family affection or warmth. I just wanted to live well.
