Chapter 5

Author: Nora Blythe
Josie's footsteps froze the moment she stepped off the stage. Almost instinctively, she looked up at me.

Shock, confusion, and uncertainty flashed across her face all at once.

I remained expressionless. Under everyone's applause, I stood up and walked toward Josie step by step.

Just as I was about to pass her, she grabbed my sleeve.

Her face was filled with disbelief. It was as if she thought she had heard the wrong name. She turned around and ran toward the dean.

    In her eyes, everything was just an act."Andrew, are you done? How long are you going to keep pretending? Even if you're suffering, can it compare to what Alex is going through?"At that moment, the nurse taking care of Alex heard Josie's shouting.She looked confused."Mr. Carter is fine. It's just he's been too sexually active. He finally returned to a normal life. If he stresses himself too much, it might undo all the progress from his previous treatment."Josie froze. It was as if she hadn't heard clearly."W-What did you say?"The nurse handed Alex's examination reports to Josie.I didn't know what was written on those reports.But whatever it was, it made Josie almost collapse. She leaned against the wall to stop herself from falling.The nurse turned around and noticed me still receiving an IV drip nearby. Her eyes filled with sympathy."Dr. Jackson, I know I shouldn't interfere as an outsider, but please treat Mr. Shaw better."He is your husband, after all. His he

    "Josie, this is our family matter. It has nothing to do with you."Josie suddenly turned around and glared at me."Why are you treating my kindness like it's worthless? Don't you understand your mother is telling you to give up your life?"Her eyes were red and glistening with tears.This was the first time I had ever seen Josie look like this."You're a mother, and you're willing to take your own son's life. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"Faced with Josie's accusations, my mother clenched her jaw."I don't care. Robert's life has only just begun. I raised you, supported you through school, and watched you get married. Robert has never experienced any of that. I can't let him spend the rest of his life like this!"I'm going to find the doctor and schedule the surgery now. He can't wait any longer."Josie couldn't stop my mother. She could only turn back and look at me.Rubbing her temples in exhaustion, she tried to persuade me."Andrew, I already went to talk to th

    My statement instantly made everyone sense a scandal.I didn't offer any further explanation. I simply let them speculate.The awards ceremony ended in complete chaos.The dean told me that Josie's actions and everything related to her had already been reported to his superiors.As for my body donation, I could still reconsider.I rejected the dean's suggestion."I won't regret my decision."After leaving the dean's office, I found Josie waiting outside.Alex tried talking to her several times, but she ignored him completely.It wasn't until she saw me that she ran over."If you're doing this because you're angry or jealous, please don't. You also don't have to say you don't have much time left."As a doctor, I know exactly how long you can live."Alex can have children now. He doesn't need you to donate anything else. Don't overthink it. I've always treated him like my younger brother."Josie followed behind me and wouldn't stop talking. I stopped walking.I turned aroun

    "What did your mother mean earlier? What about your heart?"I glanced at Alex, who was standing behind her."Nothing. It's just a family matter. Alex is still recovering, isn't he?
