I donate my kidney to save my husband, Charlie Ashford. However, when I'm discharged from the hospital, he kicks me out of the master bedroom and tells me to stay in the guest room without any hesitation. "I feel sick just looking at your scar. It looks like a centipede," he says. "Savannah will be moving into the master bedroom since she's pregnant." My wound splits open that night. I call Charlie 100 times to ask for help as I lie in a pool of my own blood. My calls go unanswered, but I can hear Savannah Quinton's high-pitched moans of ecstasy coming from the master bedroom. The strength leaves my body in an instant. When I'm hospitalized, I brush my fingers over the military merit medal that Mom left for me before she passed away. I finally recall the man whom even the mayor has to pay his respects to—Joshua Jetson. I immediately dialed the number that has been gathering dust for a long time. "You told me that you owed Mom a favor, Mr. Jetson," I say. "I want you to marry me now."

On our way home, we saw a filthy man in disheveled clothes passed out on the path.Although the man looked like a beggar, I had stopped Mom and said, "This man's injured. Could he be one of the construction site workers?"The construction site was nearby. There were many cases of people losing their footing and getting severely injured all year round. Dad also lost his life after he got into an accident at the construction site. It was why I felt rather sorry for the workers.Ignoring Mom's attempts to stop me, I carried the unconscious man

Charlie's face was a ruddy red as the armed soldiers dragged him away.They were a few steps away from the front door when a burst of strength suddenly surged through him. He forcefully freed himself from their grasps and lunged at me with gritted teeth."I'm going to end you, Wendy!"Charlie was already a few steps away from me before anyone could snap back to their senses. He raised his fist in the air and swung it down, aiming for my face.However, my abdomen suddenly contracted viciously, causing my vision to turn dark. An endless stream of blood poured from my mouth.I toppled backward before his fist touched me.Seconds before my eyes fluttered close, I saw a hint of panic flicker across Charlie's face.
