The Diagnosis That Changed Everything Chapter 9
My words shattered Zac. For more than a decade, he had lived as the cherished child of the family. He had always believed it was the younger brother's birth that had divided his parents' love. Now, hearing that he had never been loved at all… the collapse was inevitable.He ran home. The whole family happened to be eating dinner. No one had waited for him. When they saw him walk in, not a single person asked where he'd been.Something inside him snapped. He strode up to Keith."Why didn't you get tested? Why didn't you donate your kidney to me? Were you just waiting for me to die?"Keith never expected that old secret to resurface. He slammed the table and shot to his feet."What are you raving about? How dare you question me? I gave you life. I raised you. You don't show me gratitude, fine—but now you want my kidney?"Guilt flickered across his face, but he refused to confront it. Zac held on relentlessly, pressing every word like a blade. "Why didn't you get tested? Why?"
The Diagnosis That Changed Everything Chapter 8
Their hope of saving Zac through a relative's kidney donation was gone. With no other choice, Keith and his wife decided to try for another child, praying a second baby could save Zac.But they were getting older, and with Keith's smoking and drinking habits, conceiving again wasn't easy.Several years passed before Kathy finally became pregnant.By then, Zac was almost an adult.He had grown used to scheduled dialysis, and in his mind, he wasn't much different from a normal person. So, when he suddenly learned that his mother was pregnant again, he struggled to accept it. But once he heard Keith say the second child was meant to save him, he felt a little better.Yet life rarely follows the script. If Kathy had given birth to a girl, maybe the child could have donated a kidney to him. But unfortunately, she had another son.The moment my mother saw her new grandson, she couldn't stop smiling. Zac was ruined, but a new "replacement" had arrived.And this new grandson was unbelie

The day I walked out of that house, I blocked every one of them—phone numbers and social accounts.They went to my company to look for me, only to learn I'd already resigned.To them, I had vanished completely, as if I were deliberately hiding. Which only convinced them further that I was doing it on purpose.Watching Zac suffer and struggle in pain broke their hearts. They swore they would find me no matter what.First, they went to the police, hoping the authorities could track me down. But I was an adult, not missing—simply unwilling to contact them—so the police wouldn't accept the case.When the police route failed, they turned to public pressure.One night, the entire family went live online.The livestream title read: [Searching for Sonya.]My mother faced the camera wearing the expression of a heartbroken, devoted mother."I really have no choice left," she said. "I've begged everyone I can beg. My grandson is still so young. I can't bear to watch him leave us."Then

During his first dialysis session, Zac lay on the hospital bed thrashing and crying in pain. Not even with both Kathy and my mother holding him down could they keep him still.The treatment started at dawn and didn't end until nightfall. When it was finally over, Zac sobbed that he never wanted to undergo dialysis again.But skipping dialysis meant certain death.My mother couldn't bear the thought of watching him die like that.'It's just a kidney,' she told herself. 'With so many relatives and friends, someone has to be a match.'The next morning, she went door‑to‑door begging.But after my public confrontation last time, no one wanted anything to do with her."I'm begging you," she pleaded. "Just do the compatibility test. The doctor said you can live with one kidney. We'll take care of you for the rest of your life. You won't lose out."Anyone can promise the moon. Only the old me—foolish and naïve—would have believed it."Miranda, no amount of money can replace a kidney,"

My mother pinched the pressure point above Zac's lip. She barely managed to wake Zac. The moment he opened his eyes, he clutched his lower back and kept saying it hurt.No one in the family took his symptoms seriously. Instead, they scolded him."Kids can't have back pain. Stop pretending."Soon after, Zac was transferred to a strict private school where students lived on campus from Monday to Friday. Outsiders weren't allowed in.It was his first time boarding at school, and the rules were harsh—students had to request permission just to use the bathroom at night. They were allowed to go only once. More than that, and the school would call their parents.But one of the symptoms of uremia is frequent urination. He needed to go several times every night. Too scared to have his parents called, he held it in—night after night.Finally, one night, he fainted from holding it too long.The school rushed him to the hospital. The doctor looked at his swollen limbs and waxy‑yellow face a

I rented an apartment in a different part of the city and started a new job. The city was too big—they would never find me again.Once I'd settled, I returned home for a visit.After graduating from university, I had always lived with my family. Several times I had tried to move out, but my mother kept a tight grip on my salary, funneling my earnings to support Keith and Kathy. That money belonged to me, and I was determined to take it back.A few days ago, the house had been reduced to ruins, but now it had been restored.When they saw me walk in, they glared with gritted teeth. I didn't waste a word. I threw the papers I'd brought straight in front of them."I don't want your kidneys. But all the money you spent that was mine? You'll have to pay it back."On the floor lay detailed printouts of my bank statements over the years. Every single withdrawal my mother had made was accounted for. There was no denying it.Kathy scanned the numbers and screamed, "We don't have that ki
