The Man Who Gave His Kidney Away Chapter 9
My eyes went wide as I watched Kathryn light a cigarette, standing by the window.After a long moment, she exhaled a thin stream of smoke and spoke, her voice calm and distant."Three years ago, I was ambushed. A bullet went through my shoulder. In the chaos, I hid in an alley near some shelters…"As she spoke, the memories slowly crept back.Back then, my mother had just gotten off her shift at the textile factory. I was walking her home through a narrow alley when we saw a woman crumpled on the ground, filthy and in rough shape.She looked like a homeless person from head to toe, but I stopped my mother from leaving."She's hurt," I said. "Maybe she's from that construction site nearby?"There was a site close by, and accidents happened there all the time—falls, serious injuries.My father had died in a construction accident too, so I always felt a strange sympathy for people like that.Ignoring my mother's protests, I carried her straight to the nearest clinic.Now, starin

Nina was being dragged across the ground, her face burning red with rage as they hauled her away.Then, out of nowhere, she found some burst of strength and wrenched herself free. Teeth clenched, she lunged straight at me."Caleb! I hope you die in agony!"Before anyone could stop her, she was already in my face. Her voice went shrill as she raised both hands to shove me with everything she had—Suddenly, my abdomen seized up violently. My vision went black.Blood poured from my mouth in thick streams.Before her hands even touched me, my body went rigid and I collapsed backward.Right before I blacked out, I saw panic flash across Nina's face. She stood frozen in front of me, mouth open like she was screaming my name."Caleb!""Caleb!"By the time she yelled it the second time, I'd already hit the ground and slipped into darkness.When I came to, the steady beeping of machines filled my ears.I opened my eyes to the dim glow of an old hospital light overhead.A sharp, twi

Theo was nothing more than Nina's poor relative who'd shown up from some backwoods town claiming family ties.When Nina and I first bought our apartment, it wasn't exactly spacious. After furnishing our bedroom, there was only one guest room left.I figured Theo wouldn't stick around long—we were newlyweds, after all. Who wants an extra person crammed into their space right after getting married?But Theo dug in his heels and made himself a permanent fixture. I dropped hints that it was getting cramped.He acted like I was trying to throw him out on the street, bursting into tears with that pathetic look."Caleb, where am I supposed to go? I've got nobody. If you kick me out, I'll be sleeping outdoors…"Forget it… I guess I've worn out my welcome. I'll figure something out on my own…"He was barely dressed and made a show of rushing for the door. But Nina grabbed him and laid into me."Caleb! Do you have a heart? He's got no one—where exactly is he supposed to go? We don't even
The Man Who Gave His Kidney Away Chapter 6
Throughout the three years Nina and I were married, her mother never let me forget that I hadn't given her a grandchild.But Nina adamantly refused to let me touch her. How could I possibly get her pregnant?Later, Nina's father developed kidney failure and, as a result, required a kidney transplant. When the kidney match came back positive, the Dawson family showed up at my door on their knees, begging me to donate a kidney to save him, who was literally at death's door.I didn't hesitate. I gave him one of my kidney, and it cost me a long time to recover.And what did I get in return?Nina got pregnant with Theo's child—while I was still lying alone in that hospital bed.Back then, the whole family had sworn up and down that they'd spend the rest of their lives repaying me.Now, after I gave up a kidney, here's what I got instead: my wife carrying another man's child, her mother calling me a freeloader and shoving a divorce agreement in my face, demanding I leave with nothing.

The crowd fell instantly silent, every gaze fixed on the woman who had just appeared in the doorway.She wore a sharply tailored black coat, her presence overwhelming and commanding.Someone in the crowd recognized her and sucked in a sharp breath."Commander Jennings? Is that the legendary Commander Jennings—the one they call the Iron Lady? She may be a woman, but her methods are just as ruthless as any man's!"The two female soldiers hurried forward, guilt written all over their faces."We're so sorry, Commander Jennings! It was our negligence that led to—"Before they could finish, Kathryn swept them with a cold glance and said in a low voice, "Report to the base for disciplinary action. Thirty days' restriction and forfeiture of pay. Don't let it happen again."With their heads bowed, the two soldiers retreated quickly.Only then did the crowd seem to snap back to reality, but Nina stood frozen in shock. She forced her voice out, hoarse and stiff."Commander Jennings… what

I found a cheap motel and made do for the night.The next morning, there was a knock at the door.Two female soldiers stood in the hallway, their posture straight, their bearing cold and disciplined. One of them raised her hand in a formal salute, her tone respectful."Are you Caleb Barnes? Commander Jennings instructed us to tell you to meet her at ten o'clock this morning in front of the City Hall."I let out a long breath. Finally, the weight on my chest eased.Nina and I had agreed to file for divorce at eight. I waited at the entrance.Soon, I saw her arrive arm in arm with Theo, strolling in unhurriedly.They were dressed in bright, flashy colors, as if they were about to walk down the aisle the next second.Nina had been worried I might cause trouble, but when she saw how cooperative I was, she finally relaxed.Suddenly, a factory worker suddenly rushed in and whispered urgently into Nina's ear.Her face changed instantly. Her gaze turned sharp as a blade and stabbed s
