All Chapters of How Long Until My Time Runs Out?: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

When the doctor told me I had an inoperable brain tumor, I knew my life was counting down.I was on a camping trip with my family and fiance, planning to tell them I'd agreed to donate a kidney to my sister. Since I was dying anyway, I figured I might as well give it away.But before I could break the news, a sudden storm and mudslide struck, and my sister shoved me into a ravine. Seven days later, when rescuers finally found me, I had only three days left to live."I agree to donate my kidney to Lily," I said at the hospital, handing over the signed organ donation agreement. My parents stared at me in shock. Then, their expression lit up with excitement as they clutched my hand."Olivia, I always knew you weren't one to stand by when someone needs help. Don't worry. You have two kidneys, so donating one won't put your life at risk, though you might experience some weakness," Mom said. "Your father and I will divide the family assets equally between you and Lily. Even if you ne

After the doctor left, Lily came over crying, "Olivia, it's okay if you don't want to donate your kidney, but don't go as far as to fake a test report just to curse yourself! "Look how worried Mom and Dad were because of a lie—that's really unfair to them."Her show of concern painted me as the ungrateful daughter. Mom's and Dad's faces were grim. Disappointment radiated from them like a cold wave. Ever since the doctor exposed the report as fake, they hadn't uttered a single harsh word—just stared at me with quiet disgust; they didn't even find it worth their effort.If I weren't their flesh and blood, I was sure they'd have walked away and cut me off entirely—discarding me like some scheming stranger. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I was wrong. I won't go back on my promise to donate."It was what they wanted to hear. And in saying it, I tacitly admitted to forging the report. But what did denial matter now?I'd already resolved to leave behind a good impression when I d

When news of my death reached the ward, Mom knocked over her cup in sheer disbelief. Beside her, my typically composed Dad faltered, almost losing his footing."Olivia is dead? No, Ethan, this can't be real. Is this a new game you and Olivia are playing for our attention? You can't be like her!" Mom's voice was laced with disbelief, but her trembling hands gave away her true fear. She knew Ethan wouldn't lie. She just said that to comfort herself. Tears fell uncontrollably—grief pouring out in waves of fear, sadness, and pain. Lily cried hysterically, "Olivia's dead? From a post-surgery infection? Oh, dear God, she died because she donated her kidney to me! I killed Olivia!"She then declared she wanted to die alongside me. She rushed toward the windowsill, intending to jump and end her life, claiming this was the only way to repay the debt she owed me. My smile was cold and mocking as I watched her performance, silently questioning how long she could keep it up. The mome

Ethan's Point of ViewWhen I saw Olivia lying in the morgue, for a fleeting moment, I thought that she had conspired with the doctors, faking her illness just to get my attention—that it was simply her old trick again. But the moment I touched her cold, lifeless arm—completely devoid of warmth—tears streamed from my eyes. I shook her desperately, trying to wake her up. But she didn't. I foolishly believed she'd died due to complications from the kidney donation. I blamed myself.If I'd known this surgery would cost her life, I would have stopped it and let Lily face her own fate. I only wanted Olivia alive. I wanted her to be my bride.But I hadn't known.At the wake, Lily cried and insisted it was her fault, saying she had killed Olivia. I swallowed my fury and comforted her, telling her not to blame herself. Truly, I had been blind to Lily's manipulations. When the medical records in the email revealed the truth, I lost my mind. Olivia had suffered so much pai
