Female Growth

I was eighteen when I donated one of my kidneys to Susie Grant, but she died to transplant rejection anyway, and I was chased out of the Grant family. Before long, the surgery incision festered, and I died of infection in the streets. When I opened my eyes again, I was five once more, and it was the day I was taken back to the Grant family's home. But this time, my brother Harry stepped in front of our parents, pointing at me as he said, "There's been a mistake. She's not actually my sister." Seeing the look of contempt in his eyes, I knew he had reincarnated too. As our parents left in disappointment, he shoved me a piece of candy and told me, "The Grant family just needs one daughter. There's no place for you among us if you can't save Susie."

Chapter 1
My fingers clenched around the candy, its stiff edge almost cutting my palm.Indeed, in our previous lives, he had been convinced that my only purpose was to be a blood bank and organ donor to Susie.Since Susie still died after I donated my kidney, that meant I served no purpose in this life, and the Grants had no reason to bring home a loser like me.I smiled, violently wiping the tears I couldn't fight back as I told myself—the old Yvie Grant was dead and I would live only for myself.As I returned inside to my quiet corner in the orphanage, a big black sedan soon stopped outside the gates of the orphanages.Soon, the caretaker was leading an elderly gray-haired man inside, and the other children were at once abuzz, flocking toward him like a swarm of locusts to present their gifts."Hello, Sir!'"Let me sing for you, Sir!""Can you look at my drawings, Sir?"I alone sat at that quiet corner, looking like a complete outsider.As such, Carl Simpson noticed me right then and

As the days passed peacefully and fulfillingly, I gradually became convinced that the Grants wouldn't ever cross paths with me.That was until one day, when my assistant Claire knocked on my office door and told me, "Dr. Simpson? You have a consultation. It's a Mr. Harry Grant, who wants our most expensive specialist to examine his younger sister."My heart couldn't help skipping a beat at the mere mention of that name, but I took a deep breath to compose myself and said calmly, "Show him in." A tall, well-dressed man soon entered.Though Harry's youthfulness seemed to have faded, his mature appearance was somehow more handsome and elegant.Nonetheless, those dark, captiving eyes of his were filled with shock and disbelief when he saw me.It was natural, as he could never have imagined that the medical expert he'd been desperately seeking for would be me, the little girl he had deliberately abandoned twenty years ago.Still, he finally found his voice after a long pause, his to

Chapter 3
Trivialities?!Harry's cheek flushed beet red, as he clearly believed that it was a big deal that he decided my fate, and it hurt him a lot more than insulting him.He growled through his teeth in frustration, "You can stop pretending! You were just holding a grudge because I stopped our parents from taking you home, and now you want revenge against me and my sister!"I finally had enough and burst out laughing. But when I stopped, I narrowed my eyes coolly. "Mr. Grant, don't you think you're flattering yourself? Revenge against you? Who do you think you are?"If anything, I should thank you for being so determined in stopping your parents from taking me back. Otherwise, Carl Simpson wouldn't have adopted me as his granddaughter, nor would I gain my present accomplishments… So why would I hate you at all?"My words were indifferent, but also knives that cut deep into Harry's heart.Still, his eyes soon lit up, and he laughed as if he had won. "Carl Simpson?! Bullshit! Did you t

Chapter 4
At 3 PM, all four members of the Grant family appeared at my office punctually.Despite not having seen her for twenty years, Susie was just as I remembered—a delicate maiden who would win over anyone's heart.And this time, Harry was a hundred times nicer, even apologizing, "I'm sorry, Dr. Simpson… I was brash before, and I apologize."My father Mick and my mother Wanda stood gingerly nearby, watching me with a myriad of emotions.But I wasn't bothered as I stared at Susie and said, "Everyone else, please step out while I examine the patient."As soon as the door closed and no one could look inside, Susie's paleness faded as she glared at me in venomous jealousy.She studied me from head to toe and eventually smirked in contempt. "Oh, Yvie… Wait, is it Ruby Simpson now? I'm surprised you're that lucky, sucking up to the Simpsons after we kicked you out. Impressive."I simply watched her in amusement as I calmly said, "Please cooperate. Take your shirt off."My indifference ang

Time seemed to stop as the Grants' expressions stiffened.Harry was the first to come to his senses, pointing and yelling at me as if everything he heard was a joke."Bulltshit! Susie's always been sick, and every hospital has diagnosed her with latent kidney failure! How dare you say she isn't sick! It seems to me that you're just a quack doctor!"Mick and Wanda came to their senses too and were glaring at me accusingly like they'd been deceived."We came because we trust you, Dr. Simpson! How could you run your mouth like that?!" "Exactly! You'd better explain yourself this instant!"I simply looked between their indignant glares, chuckling coolly. "Run my mouth, you say?"After all, Susie had already turned pale the instant she heard me saying she was not sick and was clawing into Harry's arm before she knew it.I wheeled on Harry right then. "Mr. Grant, your sister has weak kidneys, but far from the level of actual organ failure, let alone needing a transplant."The sympt

Chapter 6
Harry's fingers were stiff even as he picked up that weightless sheet of paper and read through the numbers before glancing at Susie's ashen face.He had never imagined that the same Susie whom he had cherished and protected for so long, even murdering his own biological sister for it, had been deceiving him from the very beginning.She had certainly taken them for a ride!"Why? Why would you do this, Susie?" he asked hoarsely, his eyes narrowed in clear pain and disappointment.Wanda was clutching her chest too, demanding angrily, "Yes, Susie! Why on earth did you feign your illness? Why did you lie to us?!"Susie, pushed past her limit, finally broke down in tears. "Why? Because I'm afraid! I'm afraid that you'll no longer want me after you find your real daughter! I'm afraid you'll give all your love to someone else!"She pointed at me and then at Harry, her sobs heart-wrenching as she hollered, "I just wanted her to stay away from us! What's so wrong about that?"I looked on

Harry continued, "I've made a mistake, and I shouldn't have hurt you the way I did in our past lives or force you to donate your kidney and throw you out after…"I know that anything I say now is pointless, that I can't even begin to correct what I've done, but all I want to say is that I regret everything."I went everywhere searching for you and only found your remains after you died, and I've lived in regret ever since with the knowledge that I murdered my own sister."I listened to him quietly and suddenly giggled. "You don't get it, Harry Grant—your regret means nothing to me."Staring at his face, which immediately turned pale, I then continued, "Let me tell you the truth that you didn't want to face—Susie didn't die because of kidney failure back then."Harry's head jerked up, his eyes widening and his pupils dilating. "W-What…?"I shrugged as I spoke slowly and clearly, "Susie Grant never died of illness, let alone kidney failure. She died from a drug overdose."She was

Chapter 8
One day, I was just leaving work when Yannick called me. "There's a charity gala tonight, and Grandpa is asking you to represent the family. A dress has been sent to your apartment.""Yeah, got it."I've never been interested in such social events, but I'd never say no to Grandpa Carl.By evening, I put on that tailored silver dress and a little makeup before arriving at the banquet hall punctually.All eyes quickly turned on me as I was representing the Simpsons, with countless immediately approaching to greet me and make small talk.I responded effortlessly, always keeping a formal and distant smile.Still, I was just chatting with a magnate when Susie appeared before me, wearing a cheap dress that made her stick out like a sore thumb, her hair a mess and with a look of utter misery.Heaven knows how she slipped in, but she was glaring fixedly at me with maniacal jealousy and resentment."Yvie Grant!" she screamed shrilly, drawing everyone's attention right away. I frowned

Soon, the entire banquet hall erupted into chaos.My head was blank—even as Harry held me, I could clearly pick up the scent of blood and charred flesh from him.Never could I have imagined that he would use his own body to shield me."Why… why?" I asked, hearing the hoarseness of my own voice.He leaned on my shoulder, panting as he mustered all his strength to breathe into my ear, "I owe you one life, Yvie… I'm paying it back now…"And with that, he dropped limply on the floor, completely passing out.The ambulance arrived soon, and he was rushed to the hospital.As both witness and victim, I gave a statement to the police before heading to the hospital, and Susie was arrested right away for deliberate assault.Mick and Wanda also arrived at the hospital shortly thereafter. When they saw their son lying in the emergency ward and hanging by a thread, they were both on the verge of a breakdown.Wanda was crying so badly that she nearly fainted, while I swore I saw Mick's hair

Chapter 10
Harry took a long time to recover, and I heard that the first thing he did after waking up was ask where I was.But the nurse told him I was gone and relayed my message that we were strangers.He was silent then and talked a lot less since then.Even though he was very cooperative with treatment and bore with unthinkable pain of skin grafting and disinfection, he never made a sound.He would sit by himself alone, staring outside for days on end, with no one ever figuring out what he was thinking.As for Susie, she was sentenced to jail, as the evidence against her was solid.It was a premeditated assault and disrupting public order, and she was to be jailed for ten years.Mick and Wanda were seated in the public gallery during the verdict, and though Susie kept calling out to them, neither responded at all.Meanwhile, I had a breakthrough with the new medicine I'd developed—all three phases of clinical trials passed with flying colors, and there were minimal side effects.The
