Report
I was diagnosed with kidney disease. My wife, Serene Warner, an heiress from high society, broke down in tears from worry. She did everything she could to find a donor for me. However, just as the doctor handed her the consent form, she hesitated. "Keith's treatment can't be delayed any longer. This donor kidney is compatible with him too. Can you find another matching kidney?" she asked. With a troubled look on his face, the doctor replied, "Ms. Warner, that would be rather hard. Perhaps…" Before he could finish, her daughter spoke up and decided my fate. "Of course, the kidney is going to Keith. Dad is old and a nag. He doesn't even look like me. I don't want it to go to him." Serene gently smacked Tina on the back of her head, but what she said next was just as chilling. "Joseph, Keith studied abroad. He'll contribute a lot to the Warners and this society…" Without saying a word, I looked down at my wedding ring. My heart had grown numb long ago. That was because I had already gone through this. In my last life, this was when I shouted at her, despite having always been a gentle soul. "What about all the sacrifices I made to take care of you two in the past eight years? I'm clearly ahead of him in the list. It should be mine! Why him?" But without question, a poor teacher like me stood no chance against the rich and powerful. In the end, out of guilt, Serene stayed by my side day and night. She reminisced with me about the past, but not even she realized that the memories she spoke of did not belong to us. I slowly faded away. This time, I would not fight her. I would not trouble her anymore. "Alright."

"Serene isn't even the true heir," I said. "Her father's illegitimate son has been studying abroad all this time. She's only managing the company on his behalf. Once he returns, she'll have to hand everything back. "You schemed and plotted, only to end up with nothing. Keith, you're far too naive. Still, there's one thing I still don't understand. I've already let you have her. Why do you still pin all your hatred on me?"Keith burst into laughter, his eyes bloodshot. "My dear brother—Serene's first love—died because of you! They were a great couple back then, but you just had to fall for Serene. He spotted you two hugging by the riverside, so he was forced to come up with a scheme to play the hero. That way, Serene would agree to marry him!"But his feet got tangled in the river weeds, and he died. You killed him! And now I'm like this because of you. I'll kill you!"He charged at me with the knife. Just as the knife was about to sink into my chest, a few policemen appeared out o

Still, I did not expect the phone to start buzzing with a call as soon as I turned it on.This time, I answered the call."Where are you, Joseph? Why didn't you answer my call? Why didn't the ambulance take you to the hospital? Where exactly are you?"Come back, alright? Your body is failing. You can't wander around by yourself. I'll do everything I can to help you live longer. Tina misses you a lot too."When I did not respond, she passed the phone to Tina."Dad, where are you? I miss your fish. I can't sleep at night at all. Come back and tell me stories like before. Hold me until I fall asleep. Dad, I miss you."Hearing their voices, I felt nothing."SSerene, this will be our last call. Don't contact me again. I don't need you to handle my funeral arrangements, and I don't need you to pray for me after my death either. I'll be forgetting both of you completely."I hung up and eased back down on the operating table.…The operation was a success. Recovery also went well.I
What Was Lost Chapter 7 Second Chance at Life
I coldly asked Serene, "Did you ever love me?"She was stunned. Instead of answering me, she replied with a question of her own. "If I didn't love you, why would I share the same bed with you for eight years? You're a grown man, Joseph. Stop being so fussy."I've ordered artificial kidneys for you. The doctor said that if the operation goes well, you can live longer. Come with me."Disappointment shone in my eyes. "What if it fails? I'll die right away, right? Serene, spare me. I only want to regain my freedom before I die."Sensing my resolution, she frantically grabbed me."No! You can't leave us. Even if you have to die, you must die by my side!"Suddenly, I felt the world spin around me as pain surged through my entire body. It was then that I realized I had forgotten to take my medication the night before.I hurriedly pulled out my bottle of pills from my pocket. Just as I unscrewed the cap, she started violently tugging me away.Caught by surprise, I lost my grip on the b

I scoffed. "Am I wrong? We're not blood-related anyway.""Joseph, when did you become so cold?""Am I cold? What about you then? Were you not cold when you called me a freeloader and a leech in your group chat? What about when you took my life away for a man you've only known for six months? You want to change the last name of the child I raised for eight years to Sawyer. Isn't that cold?"Silence fell. The only thing I could hear was harsh breathing."Y-You saw everything?""Yes. Every single word.""Where are you? I'll go to you now. I can explain this.""There's no need. Let's part ways from here on.""It's really not what you think! You…"Before she could finish speaking, Keith could be heard calling out to her."Serene, Tina, the cake's ready. Let's make a wish!"After calling out a response, Serene said to me, "Wait for me. I'll go to you once we're done celebrating Tina's birthday. Well, that's it for now."I looked down at the darkened screen before slapping myself

I turned to leave, but Keith stopped me once more.This time, the grin on his face was gone, replaced by barely concealed rage. "Must I spell it all out for you? I'm going to steal everything away from you and the Warners! Then, I'll have those two kicked out of the family. "I don't love her or h

Aw, you won't be complaining every day about life with a leech anymore. We'll have to find some new entertainment. Oh, right. You asked me about changing Tina's last name to Sawyer, didn't you? I asked around. It can be done as soon as he's dead,' Fanny messaged.With trembling hands, I scrolled up

As expected, Serene turned to me with an apologetic gaze after ending the call."Joseph, Keith isn't feeling well. I'm going to visit him with Tina. Start without us. We'll be back soon."Before this, I would have been too cowardly to say anything as she left.This time, however, I did not want t

As soon as I finished speaking, Serene started crying.I did not look at her. Instead, I turned to look at the bright rays of sunlight outside the window."I wish to live in freedom in my last days."She choked on her sobs and held my hand. "Alright. I'll do whatever you want. Let's go home."I
