Chapter 1

When I was accompanying Zoey at a social event, my parents called.Between toasts, I gave her a heads-up.Then I stepped outside to answer the phone."Come home tonight."It was the first phone call in twenty years.I still found the commanding tone familiar.After hanging up, I let out a sigh and returned to our private dining room.As I opened the door, I saw several business partners toasting Zoey."You are a really loyal person, Miss Samantha. You stick to the same type for so many years.""This one has been around the longest and has the most similar look.""Miss Samantha, you personally picked this guy, so in both life and work, he definitely..."The voices abruptly ceased when I entered the room.During social gatherings, everyone would make subtle jokes behind my back.At first, I didn't understand.I often asked Zoey about it.At that time, she looked up at me from a pile of unfinished documents.She touched my head like stroking a pet."They just can't stand

I felt better after I comforted myself.Then I got up early and made breakfast for Zoey.She came out with sleepy eyes.Subconsciously, I wanted to hug her.But she turned away, showing impatience in her furrowed eyebrows.My Adam's apple bobbed.In the end, I didn't say anything.Breakfast passed in an unprecedented silence.I wanted to say something.But Zoey's cold gaze silenced me.After eating, Zoey picked up her bag."I have something to take care of today. You can go to the company yourself."I said "Hmm" and was about to speak.But she had already left.At noon, I left half an hour ahead of time.I went to the hospital to collect the results of my recent physical examination.I kept a random diet when I was in college.I barely eat one meal a day.Since I graduated, my stomach had been bothering me.Moreover, my already small appetite had worsened recently.I lost 5 pounds within a week.A sense of unease grew within me.Unfortunately, it was nothing compa

After that, Zoey didn't come home for several days.She didn't go to work, either.Neither did I.My stomachache became increasingly unbearable.I took leave and remained at home.Not even a single call came.On one particular day, Zoey's secretary called me.She asked for help in retrieving a document.She said it was in Zoey's study.That was the first time I entered Zoey's study.She didn't like other people touching her personal belongings.She even did the cleaning by herself.I found the document the secretary needed.I was about to leave.But I caught a glimpse of a photo in the corner of my eye.My rational brain told me not to touch it.But I couldn't resist.I walked over and picked up the photo.In the photo, Zoey and Samuel stood side by side under a tree.The shadows of the trees cast a heavy veil over the two of them.They were such a perfect match.But my heart ached with every beat.Beneath the photo was an iron box.It must be an old box.Its su

The doctor came out.He pulled my parents aside.Zoey went straight into the ward.She collapsed in front of the bed.I saw her crying.It made me feel a bit uneasy.I leaned against the hospital's cold wall.The conversation between the doctor and my parents drifted into my ears."Find a kidney donor as soon as possible, otherwise his condition will deteriorate rapidly."Rose almost fainted from crying.She leaned on my father.I should have known why they called me back home.Why had I dared to hope for something more from them?No one had ever expected me to exist in the first place.Suddenly, I missed my grandmother.She had departed this world in such a desolate place."Alright, go and see the patient."My father helped Rose walk to me.There was hesitation on his face.He was about to say something.But Rose clenched her fists and struck my shoulders."You should be the one dying! It's all your fault for taking away Samuel's luck. Go die for him!"Her hits m

I touched my cheek and found tears rolling down my face.I hurriedly wiped away the tears.As we got home, I helped Zoey pack her luggage."The hospital is not as comfortable as home. You've been in bad health, and you're always getting a fever and a cold. Remember to keep hydrated and try not to leave the ward."Zoey had just finished her shower and came out of the bathroom.I picked up the hair dryer skillfully.I helped her dry her hair.She didn't refuse.Her eyes told me that she had mixed feelings inside her heart."Emmett, I was so anxious today at the hospital. Samuel is very sick, and I'm afraid..."I wrapped my arms around her gently, silencing her words."I know. It's alright. You can go now."It was the first time I saw guilt in Zoey's eyes.That was enough for me.That night, Zoey didn't stay home.She was worried about Samuel.I understood her feelings and let her go.They had known each other since they were teenagers.So, she had shared more experience

All I knew was that I didn't have any gifts.Tears streamed down my face.Yet, I was an unwanted child.No sweets came my way, despite my wailing.That night, my parents confined me to a dim chamber.My sobs proved futile.Subsequently, Samuel would habitually belittle me in the presence of our parents, whether intentionally or not.He perpetually harbored the belief that my existence had robbed him of our parents' affection.He was born with a weak body.My parents had solely brought me into the world to utilize my umbilical cord blood for his sake.Contemplating this, I cast my eyes downward in silence."Emmett, why are you so shameless? How does it feel to be my substitute?"He sneered with a malevolent grin.Perhaps he had been pampered excessively.His illness did not leave him pallid.Instead, his eyes gleamed with vitality."I am Zoey's true love. Do you know why we didn't end up together back then?"I pondered silently, gazing at him."Back then, she had just

Yet I stood frozen in place."What did you say?""What's so special about your grandmother requiring our parents to run around for her life? People her age just die. Besides, I was just hospitalized back then. Do you really think our parents would go back to her just because of those calls you made? You are so naïve, my little brother."He was toying with his phone and flashing a wicked smile.I clenched my fists.A seething rage surged within me, rising from my chest."But she was also your grandmother!""So what? She didn't raise me. Only someone like you would harbor those cheap sentiments."Suddenly, a memory surfaced.Whenever I caught tadpoles and small crabs in the past, my grandmother would gaze into the distance with an enduring sadness in her eyes."Samuel is in good hands, so he is delicate. If he stays with us here for a year, his health will definitely improve."She would remark, then sigh softly.I knew she was thinking of Samuel.But Samuel never visited her

Chapter 8

The three of us formed a love triangle.Someone had to leave eventually.I knew it better than them.I returned home.I packed my bags soon.The house I rented was already empty.The next day, I left with my luggage.Also, I brought the cat with me.We arrived at our new home.I then spent the afternoon cleaning up the house.I went out again to buy cat food and a cat tree.But soon, I felt regretful after the purchase.I didn't even know how long I could live.Where should the cat go after I die?I hadn't thought about all these through.I realized that I wasn't responsible for the cat.I should have considered its future when I adopted it.I stared at the ceiling.The cat gently stepped on me.It lay on my chest.I guess that was it.It seemed nice to live with it naturally.I didn't have to consider the future.If necessary, I could always find a pet boarding facility for it.The cat could stay there for the rest of its life.I didn't give the cat a name.I

"So, you forgive me? Samuel is sick now. When he gets better, I won't go see him anymore. Let's start our new life."You knew it was my mistake when I broke up with Samuel in the past, and I've always felt guilty about it. So, this time, consider it compensation for Samuel."I silently murmured an agreement.Perhaps even she couldn't deceive herself with such an excuse.That night, she clung to me, passionate and reckless.Exhausted, she fell into a deep sleep.I looked at her face, flushed with excitement because of me.My emotions were extremely complex.I remembered the little cat that I left at home.I couldn't help but wonder if it was waiting for me eagerly.I stroked Zoey's hair.I could never be her priority.Nor could I be to my parents.My grandmother and the little cat were different.They only had me.But now my grandmother was gone.I only had the little cat.It belonged only to me.So, Zoey.I didn't think I could stay with you anymore.I couldn't help

Chapter 10

Hearing her words, I felt like my heart was suddenly grasped by a large hand. I struggled to breathe but was unable to catch my breath.I rubbed my eyes with my hand.It turned out that I could still shed tears.I thought I had long become numb to emotions.Nonetheless, I stubbornly repeated what I had said."Zoey, let's break up."There was no response from Zoey on the other end of the line."What are you doing to me?" she asked.I didn't respond and hung up the phone directly.What was I expecting after all?I was just someone that neither of my parents loved.Who could I expect to love me?After that call, Zoey never contacted me again.I heard that she started asking about me every time she arrived at the company.Unfortunately, I contacted no one after I moved away.Over the years, I had become familiar with dealing with negative emotions on my own.I didn't want to burden anyone.Finally, there was only one week before the kidney transplant.I had to stay in the
