Saying No to Her Kidney のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

I smelled the strong scent of jasmine flowers as soon as I woke up in the hospital bed.I opened my eyes and saw Dario Ajello, my fiance, changing out the water in the vase sitting by the windowsill."Lena, your body can't hold on much longer. You need to go through with the transplant as quickly as possible," Dario said, helping me sit up against the pillows as he patiently fed me some water.I pushed his hand away and said determinedly, "I've already told you. I don't want Lucia's kidney!"Dario smashed the glass onto the ground and yelled at me with red eyes, "Elena Rossi! Stop being so difficult! Lucia is the only person whose kidney matches with your blood type. You will die if you refuse to receive her kidney!""I would rather die than accept her kidney," I said, reiterating every word clearly as I watched him lose his cool.Dario quickly regained his composure and apologized, "I'm sorry. I was just too worried about you. I just didn't want to think that you'd leave me… It'

It had only been three days since Dario left, and my heart had already stopped beating twice. Each time, the doctors managed to pull me back to life.Dr. Romano was frantic. "Ms. Rossi, your renal tubules have completely failed. If this persists, you'll lose your life before you know it. I really highly recommend that you restart your medication again."I shook my head and took two more painkillers."I'm fine. Please just keep my situation a secret from the others. I don't want Dario to find out."Just as I was done speaking, my phone suddenly buzzed with a notification. It was a text message from Lucia."Look, my dear Ellie. Guess who I'm with right now?"She'd also sent at least a dozen photos of her and Dario being close and intimate on vacation. The photos showed them riding on the gondola, taking pottery classes, hugging on the streets, looking at each other lovingly while under the willow trees…Every photo was in 4K resolution, and I could clearly see the tender, loving e

Lucia's requests were getting overboard. Dario wanted to reject it at first, but Lucia was very stubborn about it."What kind of boyfriend would behave like this, still contacting another woman while being with his girlfriend? Have you ever respected me properly?"In the end, Lucia teared up and sobbed."I've been single for 23 years, and I've also never experienced true love. I just want to experience what it would be like to be in a relationship with someone. I just want someone loyal who will treat me like their everything. Can't you do that for me?"In the end, Dario relented and agreed to Lucia's wishes.He took out his phone to text me and only realized then that his phone had been turned off. Still, he didn't think much about it. After turning his phone back on again, he sent me a text message."Lena, something came up at work, and I can't come back till much later. Just be good and listen to the doctor's orders about your treatment, okay? I'll come back very soon with you

After Dr. Romano repeated his question a few more times, Dario finally snapped back to the present. He looked as though he had just lost part of his soul."How is that possible… How?"His voice was hoarse. His lips wouldn't stop trembling either. "Elena was still doing fine when I left! How could she die? She could have lived for another year! It has only been a few weeks since!"He grabbed Dr. Romano's arm, his eyes looking dazed. "It must be Elena, right? She asked you to play a joke on me, didn't she? It's my punishment for not coming back with her kidney on the agreed date, isn't it? "Please, please stop lying to me. I've brought the kidney donor with me today. We can proceed with the transplant immediately! Please!"Dr. Romano pried Dario's hand off with much difficulty. The look of anger in his eyes eventually turned into one of pity."Please calm down, Don Ajello. Ms. Elena Rossi has indeed passed on. All the other nurses and doctors in the operating theater witnessed her

As soon as the words were out of Dad's mouth, he immediately realized that he'd just said the wrong thing. He quickly added, "What I meant is, you're rich enough to get any other kidney donor you want. You don't have to use Lucia's. You can't possibly think of sacrificing Lucia's health for Elena, can you?"Dario looked at Dad in utter disbelief. "Are you sure that Elena is your daughter?"He simply couldn't imagine how life must have been for me back when I was still living with them. He didn't even want to explain to them anymore that I had a very rare blood type and therefore it was close to impossible to find a match for my kidney. He also didn't want to bring up how much he'd sacrificed just to fulfill Lucia's wishes.However, something even more unimaginable was yet to come.Dad just glanced at the entrance to the morgue, not even meaning to look at me for the very last time. He just wiped his eyes and said to Dario, "Since Elena is now dead, we'll just bury her and let h
