In the office, Justin Ford carefully reviewed the report the doctor had handed him, feeling a huge weight lift off his chest."Nolan's eye really did the trick. Marcus can leave the hospital now. I can finally breathe easy."The doctor's anger boiled over, and he couldn't stay quiet. "Mr. Justin! Even if you care for Ms. Lloyd, she's not your wife. You took Mr. Nolan's eye without consent. If anyone finds out, the whole hospital could shut down. Was it really worth it?"Justin's eyes darkened. He slammed the report onto the desk and snapped, "Enough! What I choose to do isn't for you to dictate. Suzanne only has Marcus. How could I stand by and do nothing? It's only an eye! It doesn't affect his life."The doctor asked sharply, "Can you guarantee that Mrs. Ford and Nolan will never learn the truth? What will you do if they find out you almost risked their lives for Ms. Lloyd?"Justin fell silent for a moment, then took out his phone and stared at the family photo on his lock scree

Countdown: 21 hours. I took Nolan to the kindergarten to handle his withdrawal.As I was about to knock on the principal's office door, I heard a familiar voice inside. "Is Marcus doing okay? Are his eyes bothering him?"Suzanne chuckled lightly. "Marcus has recovered so well, and his eyes are doing fine. Justin, we really can't thank you enough."Justin smiled sincerely. "As long as you're happy, I'd do anything."Suzanne flashed him a mischievous look and said, "What about Claire? If she knew Marcus was using Nolan's eye, would she get upset? Justin, I don't want to make things difficult for you."Her familiar voice made me feel queasy.Suzanne had always been like this. Despite reaping all the benefits, she acted as if she were pure and untouchable, making others eager to cater to her.Suzanne wasn't even due the day Nolan was born five years ago, but she insisted the doctor induce labor just to get Justin's attention, leaving me alone while he spent the night with her in

"Not only your son's eye, but your kidney as well. Justin gifted them to me. You and your son are like a personal organ bank from Justin to us!" Suzanne's face twisted with rage, and the wild gleam in her eyes almost made me lose my mind.Nolan couldn't bear it. He pulled free from my arms and charged at Suzanne. "You wicked woman! You have no right to say that! You can't hurt Mommy!"In a flash of rage, Suzanne yanked Nolan's ear and twisted it. "You little one-eyed fool!"I lunged forward and shoved Suzanne as hard as I could. Just as I brought my hand up to hit her, a sharp slap connected with my face.Justin's face drained of color as he stared at his reddened hand from the slap."Claire, I didn't mean it…" His eyes glistened with tears as he trembled, brushing my cheek gently. "Does it hurt? I really didn't…""Justin!" Suzanne cried, clutching his hand as tears poured down her face. "I'm so scared."Marcus's eyes filled with tears as he clutched Justin's leg. "Mr. For

Just then, his phone rang. Justin hastily wiped away his tears, then looked down at the screen.Suzanne's name flashed on the screen. As soon as he picked up, she started sobbing. "Justin, Marcus says his eyes hurt all of a sudden. Could it be a rejection reaction? Can you take him to the hospital?"In his panic, Justin lurched to his feet and overturned the trash can by the door. Shredded pages filled with Nolan's scribbles were scattered across the floor, stopping him cold.Ever since Nolan learned how to write, he had kept a diary. It started with smiley faces, then simple drawings, and eventually whole pages filled with words. He recorded his days and emotions in it, hoping to share everything with Justin.In the beginning, Justin listened patiently and shared his day with Nolan. Over time, his patience wore thin until he eventually shut himself away in the study. From then on, that door split their home into two separate worlds.Behind the closed door, Justin centered his wor

Justin frowned and hung up the call in irritation.Suzanne cast a quick look at Justin, then discreetly followed him.Inside the doctor's office, the doctor paced restlessly. "I warned you from the beginning that this was risky. You said you could keep it hidden. Now look at the situation. What are we supposed to do?" he asked nervously.Justin let out a long sigh."At this point, the only option is to run. Take the money I gave you, leave the country as soon as possible, and never come back."The doctor snapped, "Justin, do you think I am an idiot? If I flee now, everyone will know I did it. You aren't trying to throw everything on Suzanne and me while you save yourself, are you?"Justin's eyes darkened, and a faint killing intent flickered in them. "If I wanted you to be the scapegoat, I wouldn't need to go through all this trouble, and any random audit of the surgeries you handled over the years would expose everything."The doctor's face twisted as he shot back, "So what d
