Take My Kidney, Take My Life Chapter 9
Dad's eyes went red as he squeezed Mom's hand hard. At the same time, Nathan couldn't take it anymore. He charged at Natalie and started hammering her arm with his fists. "You're evil! Mom's not going to die! She's not! I'll beat you up, you big jerk!"Next to their messy explosion of emotions, Calvin was calm. He stared blankly in Natalie's direction, his mouth hanging open a little.A long silence dragged out before he finally asked, "Where's Jan buried? I want to see her."Natalie snorted. "Jan doesn't want to see you! If you're actually serious about making things right, then go after the piece of trash who set Jan up!"As she said it, she chucked a heavy pile of documents straight at Calvin.Calvin caught the papers and started skimming through them. In a flash, his eyes burned with anger, his expression turning downright vicious.Without a second thought, he snatched up a chair and slammed it straight into Louella, shutting her up mid-rant. "You bitch! If it weren't for

Natalie's expression turned sour the second she saw Calvin. She tried to slam the door in his face, but he blocked it."Natalie, where's Jan? Has she contacted you?" he asked.Natalie's eyes burned at his words. "You don't get to say Jan's name! Cheater! Murderer!"Calling him a cheater didn't even make Calvin blink. He knew exactly what he'd felt for Louella. But a murderer? Now, she was being dramatic."Natalie, I know I shouldn't have laid my hands on you back then, but that doesn't mean you get to go around calling me a murderer, does it?"Listening to him talk like he was somehow the victim, Natalie couldn't take it anymore. She slapped him across the face. "You want to know where Jan is? Fine! See you tomorrow at Zephyr Law Group!"Natalie didn't even let Calvin get another word in. She just slammed the door right in his face.Calvin turned her words over in his head, and suddenly, a wild idea came out of nowhere. But the moment it crossed his mind, he shut it down.He

"Hand over the phone! Now!" Louella demanded.Miranda glanced at her and gave a quiet scoff. "Two hundred thousand dollars to keep me quiet.""Dream on!" Louella shot back.Just as Louella made another grab for the phone, Calvin and the others stepped into the room. Watching her move around like she'd had ten coffees, he frowned. Louella went pale, then suddenly launched into a fake coughing fit."Cal, you guys are here."The second Calvin heard her coughing, his face twisted with worry, and he hurried over to her side.Miranda noticed how tense Calvin was, and her eyes flicked around with playful mischief. "You're Lou's boyfriend, aren't you?"Louella's forehead wrinkled in irritation. Calvin turned to look at Miranda. "And you are?"Before Miranda could answer, Louella jumped in. "She's the caregiver I hired, Cal. It wouldn't be fair to make you and Jan look after me after I'm discharged."Her consideration moved Calvin. He gently ran his fingers through her hair."She walk

The steady beep of the machine filled my ears as I dragged my eyes open, my eyelids feeling like lead. Natalie was at my side the second she noticed I'd woken up. "Jan, you're awake. You're finally awake."I felt the warm, wet splash of her tears hitting the back of my hand. I tried to move my arm to reassure her, but I couldn't muster even a shred of strength.It seemed like my time was almost up. Strangely, I wasn't afraid at all. All I felt was peace. The only thing I regretted was putting Natalie through so much."Nat, you've been through a lot for me." My voice came out weak, and that just made her eyes get even redder. "Don't cry."I tried lifting my hand to wipe her tears but couldn't quite make it. Natalie saw me struggling and bent down. "Jan, I'm here!"I whispered into her ear, "Nat... this is the last thing I can do for you. And... thank you."As soon as the words were out, my thoughts turned thick and slow, like I was sinking into fog. Somewhere in the haze, I could

Since I already knew the truth, Natalie dropped the act."Calvin came by last night looking for you. I couldn't take it, so I yelled at him. I wasn't about to fight, but then that sneaky bitch Louella pulled some shady crap. That's how I ended up hurt…"She didn't need to explain further. I already knew that Calvin and Louella had laid into Natalie. What gave them the right? Who the hell did they think they were?Rage burned in my eyes. My nails dug into the back of my hand hard enough to leave marks, but the pain didn't register.Natalie could tell something was wrong and instantly wrapped me up in a hug. "Janelle, I'm fine! Really, don't stress over me."Her hug broke through whatever was holding me together, and suddenly, I was sobbing hard. She got swept up in it, too, and before long, she was crying softly with me. We didn't stop for a good 30 minutes.I wasn't about to let Natalie take this crap for no reason."Nat, I could really go for some of Navenmoor's pumpkin pancake

I collapsed onto the floor, writhing in pain. But Calvin still didn't stop. He kicked me hard and snarled, "Get to the hospital and apologize to Lou, now!"He grabbed my wrist and hauled me toward the door. Bright streaks of blood smeared across the floor, but he didn't even notice.Nathan stood in the doorway, his expression icy as he stared at me with pure disappointment. "Mom, why do you have to put on this act? Dad and I will never forgive you if you don't apologize to Aunt Louella!"Every part of me screamed in pain. How was I supposed to focus on what he was saying?Calvin took me to the hospital and left me slumping in the hallway. "Stay on your knees, and don't you dare move! The second Lou wakes up. You're going in there to say you're sorry!"My head spun, my body gave way, and down I went. But Calvin didn't seem concerned at all. The only thing in his eyes was pure disgust.…I had no idea how long I was out before I finally pried my eyes open. And right there in front
