Chapter 1

I was dead. It was my parents’ fault.When I opened my eyes again, I found myself standing outside the operating room.Mom and Dad were pacing anxiously as they repeatedly glanced up at the sign that said, “Surgery in Progress.”The moment the operating room doors opened, they rushed to the doctor and asked, “Doctor, how is our son?”“Don’t worry. The surgery was performed in time, and the transplant was successful. No signs of rejection. He’s stable.”Only when I saw the doctor’s unfamiliar face did I understand that my parents had not been waiting for me at all.I let out a bitter laugh. Of course! Ever since I was a child, they had never cared about me. I was always the one who got left behind.Toby’s bed was slowly wheeled out, and my parents hurriedly rushed to his side.Tears streamed down their faces as they sobbed. “Toby, how are you feeling? Are you in any pain?”Toby shook his head weakly and said, “Mom, Dad, I feel much better. But what about Wilson? Don’t just st

“Ouch...”Toby suddenly twisted his body in discomfort on the hospital bed.His slight movement immediately caught Mom and Dad’s attention. They hurriedly rushed to him and asked, “What’s wrong, Toby? Does something hurt?”Toby shook his head. His face was pale. “I’m fine. Mom, Dad, you should go check on Wilson, too. He always says you don’t care about him...”Even fresh out of surgery, he kept bringing me up and pretending to care.This only made Mom and Dad more exasperated. Dad poured Toby a glass of water and said with a huff, “Toby, you’re too considerate. That’s why Wilson walks all over you. He takes advantage of your generous heart!”Mom chimed in, “Exactly! Right now, your father and I are here to protect you. Heaven forbid something happens to us! Who will look out for you then?”As she spoke, she started to sob heart-wrenchingly.Toby had only said those things to stir up my parents’ resentment toward me. When he saw that he had succeeded, he was pleased with himsel

With the successful surgery and our parents’ constant care, Toby recovered quickly and was soon discharged.On Toby’s discharge day, my parents grinned from ear to ear. They fussed over him, adjusted his hat, and smoothed his coat. It was as if they did not want a single thing out of place.I followed them home. My mind wandered for a moment.Back then, my parents had insisted that as the elder brother, I should support Toby. They forced me to drain all my savings to buy this house for him. At that time, he had not even graduated from high school.I was stuck paying for all the renovation costs, plus the mortgage afterward.I had foolishly agreed. Though I had bought the house myself, I only visited it a few times. I did not even have a key to the place.Up until my death, I was still living in a cheap rental, which was why my marriage plans with Cayley never panned out.I could only watch helplessly as they lounged comfortably on the sofa I had bought with my hard-earned money.

Cayley stood frozen for a moment before she exploded in anger. “You’re unbelievable! I told you Wilson is dead! What part of ‘dead’ don’t you understand?”My parents initially reacted with anger, but their expressions shifted to confusion when they heard Cayley’s grave tone. She clearly was not joking.Besides, I had been unreachable for far too long. That was completely out of character for me.My parents exchanged panicked glances. Despite their growing unease, they maintained their composure and snapped, “Don’t you dare spread such lies, you little trash! You two must’ve quarreled, and now, you wish him dead because you’re upset! Where is he? Tell him to come home right now!“Look, we all know what this is about! He’s just afraid we’re angry about him refusing to donate his kidney to Toby. Tell him to stop this childish act, bring the money home, and we’ll forget this ever happened.”Cayley let out a bitter laugh at my parents’ cruel words.As I listened, overwhelming grief co

“He died during surgery? How could this happen? It was supposed to be a simple procedure!”Mom grabbed Dad’s collar and shook him violently.She began sobbing uncontrollably. Tears and snot covered her face, yet I felt nothing.These were not tears for me. She was mourning the loss of her financial support, which funded their comfortable lifestyle.These past few days with them had revealed their true nature.Dad looked crushed. He muttered a hurried apology into the phone before hanging up. Collapsing into a chair, he murmured, “Dead? How is this possible?”Toby heard everything. His mind raced. With me gone, his source of money disappeared. That new car he planned to buy this year suddenly seemed impossible.All his plans had evaporated. He stared vacantly at our parents. “Mom, Dad, what now? Without Wilson, how will we pay the mortgage?”His words snapped Mom out of her crying fit. She exclaimed, “Yes! The house! He died in that hospital. A perfectly healthy person shouldn’t

The hospital was as busy as ever, with countless patients checking in and out daily. Doctors and nurses could hardly keep track of everyone.When my parents and Toby entered, no one paid them any attention.Dad scanned the busy crowd, pulled something from his bag, and clutched it tightly.He then shot Mom a meaningful look.Reading his cue perfectly, she inhaled sharply before throwing herself to the floor. She wailed and beat the floor with her hands. “Oh, heaven help us! This wicked hospital killed my son! He went in for a small surgery and never came back out. How could he die here?“Your incompetent doctors murdered him!“I want my boy back! We won’t leave until justice is served!”Her shrieks intensified with each accusation.Dad then revealed what he had been holding. It was a hastily made memorial photo of me. Maybe it was made at a shop on their way to the hospital.He dropped to his knees in the lobby, clutched my portrait, and howled. “Oh, my son! You died so cr

The deputy director viciously slammed the stack of documents onto the table. He could barely contain his anger as he pointed at them.“These are your son’s detailed medical records! Read them carefully, and you’ll understand why a simple kidney transplant procedure killed him.”Dad snatched up the file with disdain. He flipped through it carelessly. “Like we’d believe these fake records! Who do you think you’re trying to fool?”He narrowed his eyes while skimming the contents of the file. He reached a line that stated, [Patient has only one remaining kidney. High fatality risk if surgery is performed.]His face lit up with a triumphant expression.“Aha! You did fake these documents! How could he possibly have only one kidney? You can’t even lie convincingly!”He shot Mom a confident glance. They could already see the massive compensation payment within their grasp.No one noticed the cold sweat breaking out on Toby’s forehead.The deputy director frowned. He stood abruptly and

The moment Toby saw the police, he tried to bolt for the door.His frail physique stood no chance against trained officers. They subdued him effortlessly.He glared at Cayley furiously and screamed, “You trash! You have no evidence to get me arrested! Let me go!”Cayley strode forward and slapped him a couple of times across the face. The blows left him dazed and speechless.She turned to my parents. She barely suppressed her disgust as she said to them, “Toby knew Wilson would die. He arranged for organ traffickers to wait at the funeral home. If I hadn’t intervened, they would’ve chopped Wilson up!”Dad mumbled numbly like a broken record, “No... No way! Toby’s always so sensible. He wouldn’t do something that monstrous.”When he realized that there was part of me in him, he got even more agitated.The realization that he had strapped me to the operating table and caused my death flooded him with unbearable guilt.Mom was dumbfounded. She shook her head vigorously. “You’re al

Chapter 9

Through Cayley’s investigation, Toby was ultimately convicted of intentional homicide and illegal organ trafficking. The combined charges earned him a life sentence without parole.As for my parents, despite receiving immediate medical attention, their old age and the overwhelming shock were too much for them. While they survived, a stroke left them in a vegetative state. They were conscious but no better than corpses.Once word got out about what they had done, our relatives wanted nothing to do with them.When the hospital kicked them out for not paying their bills, they got dumped back home. Some community workers occasionally swung by to feed them just enough to keep them alive.The day Toby’s sentence was declared, Cayley went to visit my parents.The place reeked before she even got through the door. There they were, lying in their own filth and covered in sores. They were scarcely recognizable as the people they once were.When she showed them the court papers, their d
