Chapter 1

In my past life, I had anonymously donated my bone marrow to save a leukemia patient. I had thought that we would never cross paths again. What I never expected was that, three years later, Courtney Smith's leukemia had relapsed. Even worse, her family bribed their way through hospital connections and tracked down my home address. Courtney dropped to her knees in front of me, crying as she begged me to donate my bone marrow again. "You saved my life three years ago. Why can't you just see this through?"But I was pregnant now, and donating my bone marrow would mean losing the baby. So, I told them that I'd donate after the baby was born. However, the Smith family turned on me instantly. "Isabella Carter! You can always have another child! But if Courtney's condition worsens because of your pregnancy, can you really take responsibility for that?" they lashed out without restraint. Courtney even went as far as to say that I was carrying a fatherless child and that it would b

By law, hospitals were prohibited from revealing the identity of bone marrow donors. But Courtney, desperate to save her own life, had bribed the hospital director and gotten her hands on all of my personal information. That was why she had shown up at my doorstep.Since we had already crossed paths in my past life, I didn't need to resort to such underhanded tactics. Instead, I went straight to the Smith residence and knocked on the door. When they laid eyes on me, the entire family froze. It was as if a mortal enemy had appeared before them. Courtney, in particular, stared at me nervously. It was as though I were a demon who had come to claim her life. Before I could get a word in, her father, Gerald Smith, spoke first. "Isabella, Courtney already told us that you have leukemia. Getting a disease like that simply means bad luck. "You can't blame anyone else for it. Since you still have some time left, you should enjoy what remains of your life and start making funeral arra

I went to work the next morning. However, before I even reached the office entrance, my phone started buzzing repeatedly. I checked it, only to see that a coworker had sent me a video. "Isa, look! Isn't this the family whose daughter you previously donated bone marrow to?"I focused on the screen. Sure enough, it was the Smith family. They were gathered outside my workplace, causing a commotion.In the video, Gerald and Elizabeth sank to the ground as they wailed about how hard their lives had been."Three years ago, we sold everything we had to save our daughter," Gerald cried. "She's only just recovered, and now, some heartless woman is trying to guilt her into donating her bone marrow!"Elizabeth sobbed even louder. "She can die for all we care, but she wants to take our daughter down with her! Who could be this cruel?"Their cries soon prompted several coworkers to step forward and defend me. "Donating bone marrow doesn't even cause serious harm!" someone argued. "If it

The video of the Smiths making a public scene went viral almost overnight. To keep the momentum going, I funneled money into boosting their posts. In no time, the hashtag #DebtOfGratitudeGoneWrong shot to number one on the trending list. Clips of Courtney and her parents wiping away tears sparked an outpouring of sympathy online, followed by a wave of condemnation aimed squarely at me. One person commented, "Can't she find another donor? Why does she have to cling to the same person?"Another comment read, "I can't believe someone would be this brazen these days. Threatening someone with a knife over a bone marrow donation? That's basically extortion!"Before long, public opinion completely tilted in favor of the Smith family. The office phones wouldn't stop ringing as complaints flooded in, pressuring my employer to fire me. Unable to take the strain any longer, my supervisor, Brandon Lloyd, summoned me to his office to get the story straight. I laid out the medical proof

Chapter 5

At 9:00 am that morning, the lawsuit over the bone marrow donation fiasco between Courtney and me went to trial. Almost everyone knew it was a case I was destined to lose. Since public opinion had spiraled out of control, the courthouse was swarmed with attention-seeking influencers and members of the press.The moment I appeared, camera flashes flickered furiously around me, and insults rang out over the deafening noise. Some particularly extreme onlookers even tried to rush at me. However, they stopped short when they saw the police officers guarding me. Right then, Courtney appeared in front of me. She was dressed in a pristine white dress, looking delicate and utterly innocent. "Isa, why put yourself through this?" she began. "Wouldn't it have been easier to just endure the criticism quietly? You insisted on saying things that embarrassed me. In that case, don't blame me for showing no mercy to someone who's already dying."Gerald and Elizabeth stood nearby, tense and on

Chapter 6

A trace of regret touched the doctor's voice over the phone as they said, "Ms. Smith, I'm the doctor who handled your exam. I'm afraid I have some bad news. Your leukemia has returned."The news came as a bombshell to Courtney, and her face went pale in an instant.At the same time, blood began to gush from her nose. They dripped onto the hem of her white dress, one drop after another.Panicked, Courtney pressed one hand to her nose and tried to cover the stains on her dress with the other. But the blood kept flowing, completely out of control. The sudden turn of events stunned everyone. Commotion rippled through the crowd, whispers and murmurs spreading in its wake.Clutching her phone, Courtney seemed on the verge of losing her mind. She screamed into the receiver, demanding answers. Yet, the only response she got was that her leukemia had relapsed. "You've got it all wrong!" she shrieked. "The one with leukemia is Isabella Carter, not me! What did she give you to make you li

Chapter 7

I clicked into the news. As it turned out, Gerald and Elizabeth had taken Courtney to the city's top hospital for urgent tests, only to receive the crushing news that her condition had worsened. The doctor said that if Courtney couldn't find a compatible bone marrow donor within three months, there would be no hope of saving her.Bound by the court ruling, the Smiths didn't dare confront me in person. But they immediately went online, accusing me of shirking my responsibility and refusing to save their daughter, Courtney. I clicked on the article Gerald had posted. It rambled on for thousands of words, and all of it was laced with insinuations that I would resort to any scheme imaginable just to avoid saving Courtney. He even twisted the reason they had taken me to court. In his version, I had known that Courtney's leukemia had relapsed and had deliberately provoked them, forcing them to sever all ties with me. Elizabeth, on the other hand, posted photos of bruises on her ar

Chapter 8

That day, as I was leaving the hospital after my prenatal checkup, I ran straight into the Smiths. They were on their knees at the entrance with a banner stretched out, while about eight phones were already livestreaming nearby. What a joke. They claimed they didn't want to bother me, yet here they were again, trying to guilt-trip me. And this time, they had brought an entire crowd with them. The instant they saw me, Gerald and Elizabeth didn't hesitate. They dropped to their knees with a thud, repeating the same act as they begged me to save Courtney one more time. "Isa, we're sorry. Everything that happened before was just a misunderstanding. Please, donate your bone marrow to Courtney again!"When I said nothing, they went back to putting on a show. Gerald slapped his own face and said, "If you're still angry, take it out on us. Do whatever you want. Please, just spare our daughter."She's a kind person. Don't hold this against her, okay? You saved Courtney once, so please

Chapter 9

Gerald and Elizabeth had enlisted about eight major influencers to livestream the entire incident. The story spread like wildfire because of them, and their reputation was completely ruined.Videos of me clutching my stomach and crying silently were shared endlessly online. But now, the insults in the comments stopped entirely. Instead, people were apologizing to me. The incident had spiraled out of control. Eventually, the authorities stepped in and formally declared me the widow of a fallen police officer.Not only did they issue stern warnings to those who had hurled insults at my unborn child and me, but the most aggressive trolls were even taken into police custody. "Nobody has the right to bully the widow of a fallen officer! These officers sacrificed everything for the country's peace, and anyone who harms their spouses is challenging the nation itself!"Once again, the internet went wild. No one had expected such a dramatic twist regarding my identity. The first to act
