Aunt Ellen suddenly looked up, a flash of hope in her eyes. "What kind of thing? How much money?"

I held up one finger.

"One million dollars?" she asked cautiously.

I shook my head.

"Then… What is it?" she said.

I smiled faintly and said, "A kidney."

Aunt Ellen and everyone around us froze.

"What did you say?" she asked.

"I said the price for saving your husband's life is one kidney from either you or Hazel," I replied.

I looked at Aunt Ellen and Hazel, my smile widening. "Don't you bot

  • Dad's Kidney Stolen: I'll Make Them Pay   Chapter 10

    There was no anger or blame in Dad's voice, only endless heartache. He reached out his frail hand, trembling as he caressed my cheek, and his tears welled up once again."I'm sorry," he said. "I was so useless. I let you suffer so much and left you to face all of that alone."I couldn't hold it together anymore and buried my face in his palm, sobbing uncontrollably. "I'm not suffering, Dad. As long as you're okay, everything I did was worth it."At that moment, all the hatred and scheming vanished into thin air. I was no longer someone obsessed with revenge; I was just a child terrified of losing his dad.As long as Dad was still here, everything I had done had been worth it.…Dad's condition improved day by day.With the support of the donations, we got the best anti-rejection medication and hired the most experienced caregiver. Color gradually returned to Dad's face, and he was even able to get out of bed and take a few steps with my help.We never brought up Aunt Ellen and

  • Dad's Kidney Stolen: I'll Make Them Pay   Chapter 9

    Just like that, Dad's surgery costs had been fully covered. Standing at the hospital payment window and staring at the receipt confirming that the payment had gone through, I felt like I was dreaming.Not only were Dad's surgery costs fully covered, but there was even extra money left in the donation account, enough to cover his rehabilitation and nutritional needs going forward.I carefully recorded the source and amount of every single donation in a notebook. I would carry that gratitude with me for the rest of my life.The surgery proceeded as scheduled.I stood outside the operating room again, but my state of mind was completely different from the last time. Before, my heart had been filled with cold hatred and a desire for revenge, but this time, it was filled only with hope and prayer.My palms were slick with sweat from nervousness, and I paced the hallway nonstop. Every passing second felt like torture to me.Time crept by. Five hours later, the operating room light fina

  • Dad's Kidney Stolen: I'll Make Them Pay   Chapter 8

    When I walked out of Dr. Harding's office, I felt like I had been on an emotional roller coaster. The excitement and pressure left me completely overwhelmed for a moment.I listed my small apartment, the only property I owned, on the cheapest real estate website, pricing it well below market value for a quick sale. Then I went through my phone contacts and started calling every friend, coworker, and even classmates I hadn't spoken to in years who might lend me money.I made call after call, but the results were disappointing. Some people hung up right away, while others turned me down politely. Still, everyone had their own struggles, and I understood that.After an entire afternoon, I managed to scrape together less than 30 thousand dollars. Even with Aunt Ellen's earlier compensation payment, I was still nowhere near the 500-thousand-dollar target.…At midnight, I sat alone on a bench in the hospital hallway, staring at the handful of viewing inquiries from the real estate agen

  • Dad's Kidney Stolen: I'll Make Them Pay   Chapter 7

    On the day Uncle Spencer was discharged from the hospital, the sky was overcast.After completing the paperwork, Aunt Ellen and her family left the hospital looking utterly defeated. None of them looked at me a single time. I knew they hated me for destroying everything they had, but I didn't care.Not long after they left, I got a call from Dr. Harding. He said, "Stefan, I have good news for you. The organ donation center just informed us that a new kidney has been matched to your dad, and it's a perfect match!"My grip on the phone tightened instantly, and I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't speak for a long moment. "Dr. Harding… is that… really true?""Absolutely true! Come in and get the paperwork done right away. We'll arrange the surgery as soon as possible!" he said.After hanging up, I rushed to Dad's bedside, grabbed his hand, and burst into tears. "Dad, did you hear that? You're going to be okay! You're going to be okay!"I practically sprinted to Dr. Harding's office.

"Don't you both love him so much? Now's the time to prove your love and family bonds."The room fell dead silent. Everyone stared at me as if I were a monster.Aunt Ellen's lips trembled for a long moment before she finally forced out a sentence. "Y-You're out of your mind!"I dropped the smile, my expression hardening. "I'm not out of my mind. My dad waited three years for a chance to survive, but you destroyed that chance without a second thought, just for your own benefit. I'm only letting you experienc

    Hazel's expression froze.I leaned close to her ear and spoke in a voice only we could hear. "Didn't you say my dad was a money pit that dragged me down for years? Well, now it's your dad's turn. Enjoy it. This bottomless pit will be deep enough to bankrupt your family and ruin you forever."Hazel shivered violently. Her lips shook, but she couldn't say a single word.I patted her cheek. "Go back and tell your mom to stop wasting her time. Whether she hires a lawyer or pulls strings, none of it will work."As long as I don't give in, your dad will have to sit there and wait for the kidney to rot inside his body. He'll suffer more and more every single day until he dies. Oh, and tell your mom that I'll stop by your dad's room every day to share that good news with him."Hazel scrambled out of the room. Watching her flee in a panic, I felt nothing but cold numbness.…That afternoon, the hospital's lawyer came to see me. He told me that Aunt Ellen and her family had officially fil
