Chapter 5

Autor: Sweetie
The red light above the operating room finally dimmed, and the sound of the door opening jolted me from my thoughts.

A doctor stepped out.

My parents and Joel immediately rushed forward, desperate to hear the outcome of the surgery.

Even my own heart tightened without control, as if I still needed to know how they would react upon seeing my corpse.

The doctor removed his mask.

"The surgery was successful. The kidney transplant was completed without complications. However, the donor, Jocelyn

    My mother raised her hand and slapped Vivian hard across the face."You beast! Jocelyn is your sister! How could you kill her?!"Vivian, spoiled and pampered since childhood, had never been treated like this. Covering her cheek, she shot back defiantly."Ever since I was little, you told me Jocelyn stole all my nutrients in the womb and made me weak. If she owed me, then it's only right she repays me."My mother struck her again."You were born weak, and we already gave you all our love from the start! What more do you want?!""Why did you kidnap Jocelyn and take her kidney, claiming it was your donation? You knew she only had one left, and you still forced her to give it to you! How could I have raised such a vicious daughter?!"Vivian let out a cold, mocking laugh."Vicious? You're blaming me? Did I kill her?"The first kidney was taken for Dad. The second was forced out of her by you. The ones who killed her… are you."My mother staggered and collapsed to the ground.Beca

    Suspended in the air, I looked at Joel, my emotions growing complicated.Five years ago, I had told my parents countless times that I was the one who donated the kidney to my father. But not once did they believe me.I had once thought this truth would die with me, buried forever in silence.I never expected it would be Joel who would tear it open.And now that the truth was exposed… would my parents still protect Vivian as they always had?Joel arrived at Vivian's hospital room with both witnesses and physical evidence.Inside, my mother was carefully feeding Vivian porridge, her movements tender and attentive. My father stood nearby, watching with affectionate pride.Seeing the group forcefully enter, my mother immediately frowned in displeasure."Joel, what are you doing? Vivian just finished her surgery and needs rest. You know that."My father also stood up, attempting to escort everyone out.Joel did not move. His gaze locked sharply onto both of them."Have you both f

    Joel's entire body jolted."What did you say?" he asked again, disbelief tightening his voice.The nurse repeated the announcement of my death once more.For a long moment, Joel stood frozen. Then, as if suddenly coming to his senses, he turned and ran toward the operating room.But the surgical suite was already empty.After asking several nurses, he finally learned that my body had been sent to the morgue.In the dim, chilling morgue, Joel's hands trembled as he lifted the white sheet covering me.The moment he saw my pale, lifeless face, it struck him like a heavy blow. He nearly collapsed.His fingers brushed lightly over my cheek."Jocelyn… you're joking with me, aren't you?" His voice broke. "Jocelyn, wake up… please… Jocelyn…"Tears fell one after another from his eyes, landing on my cold skin.Instinctively, I tried to catch them—but they passed straight through my palm and fell away.So… he could cry for me too.Once the dam broke, it could not be stopped.Joel h

The kidney transplant was completed without complications. However, the donor, Jocelyn—"Before he could finish, a nurse wheeled Vivian out of the operating room.The three of them instantly turned and followed her without hesitation, escorting her back to the ward. Not a single one of them stayed to hear what the doctor had to say about me.My body was eventually transported to the cold, silent morgue.I had been ignored in life. In death, even my corpse was abandoned without care.A faint, bitter thought rose in me—how pathetic I was, even in death.At that very moment, m

    My soul drifted out of my body, yet it did not disperse immediately.After the surgeon made the incision, he suddenly cried out in shock."What's going on? The patient only has one kidney!"Someone snapped angrily, "This is madness! Using a one-kidney patient as a donor—this is murder!"The monitor suddenly let out a sharp beep. Panic erupted instantly among the doctors and nurses."Cardiac arrest! Resuscitate her—now!"But no matter how long they tried, the monitor remained a flat line. No fluctuation at all.Considering that organs quickly lose viability after death, and unwilling to waste the remaining kidney, they ultimately proceeded with the transplant.I drifted outside the operating room, where my parents and Joel were still anxiously waiting.My mother spoke first, her voice trembling with worry. "They've been in there so long… why isn't the surgery finished yet? Could something have happened?"Joel quickly comforted her. "No, it's fine. We hired the country's top su

  • Deleted but Not Dead   Chapter 3

    From the moment she became aware of herself, Vivian had treated me as her enemy.She had always been weak and sickly, poor at her studies, and she firmly believed that I had stolen all the nutrients in the womb, leaving her frail and inferior.When I was ten, I ranked first in the entire class. She came in last.Our parents praised me, and that praise planted hatred in her heart. She tricked me out and pushed me into a river.As I hovered on the brink of death, I was chosen by the system as a "strategy host"—and that was how I survived.From that moment on, a decade-long struggle between us began.But eight years of trying failed to earn me my parents' affection. Five years failed to win me Joel's love.Compared to her, I had indeed lost completely.I raised my hand and gently pushed her away."You win," I said softly.I left the hospital room and went downstairs to get some air.The kidney transplant would begin in the afternoon. After that, I would disappear from this worl
