Chapter 1

Ian Huffman froze at once, a crack appearing in his otherwise flawless appearance."C-Cindy? What's the point of determining who goes first at a time like this? We're family—""Since we're family, does it really matter who goes first anyway?" I asked, interrupting him while leaning forward and staring intently into his eyes."Or, could it be that you're afraid of something? Or maybe you messed with the matchbox somehow, and you're worried that you'll get exposed when you draw the lot?"Ian shuddered hard.When Mom saw that I was being reluctant about it, she glared at me and said in a displeased tone, "Cindy Sampson! Mindy is still waiting to be saved! How could you act up like this now?"I was the one who put this matchbox together. How could I have possibly messed with it? Just say it if you don't want to save your sister. Stop making sarcastic accusations about Ian!"Don't you know how much Ian had been running around for Mindy's sake over the past few years? What if he gets

Chapter 2

Ian immediately shot to his feet so forcefully that the chair he'd been sitting on overturned behind him."Cindy Sampson! I can't believe how selfish you are!"He pointed his finger at me, trembling a little."I never said that I was unwilling to donate blood to Mindy, but everything should be done fairly! The rule we set up back then had been agreed upon by all of us. How could you just change it now, all because you wanted to?"Mindy Sampson, my younger sister who'd been in her room, coughed slightly just then."Cindy… Ian… Please don't fight anymore…"She shuffled out of the room, leaning against the doorframe with her face and lips all pale.If I hadn't been reborn, I would probably still have been convinced by her current sight that she was indeed very sickly and ill.Yet, after my death, my soul still lingered on earth for a while. I watched her remove her zombie-like foundation, apply some red lipstick to her lips, and celebrate happily with Ian halfway across the world

Chapter 3

I took out my phone."A stomach cramp? Let me just call 911 now and ask the doctor to give you a full physical exam in the meantime to see if you're a suitable candidate for bone marrow donation, Ian."As soon as Ian heard about the physical exam, he immediately straightened up and exclaimed, "There's no need for that! This is just a recurring symptom from the past. I'll be fine with some meds.""But how could I let that be?" I said, pressing the dial button. "You know that health is the most important thing after all. You still have to take care of me and Mindy in the future. You can't afford to collapse just like that!"Mindy panicked when she saw I was really about to call for an ambulance.She suddenly rolled her eyes up and collapsed to the ground in a soft heap."Mindy! Mindy, what's happened to you!" Mom screamed as she rushed over to her.Ian couldn't be bothered to keep up with his sick act anymore and rushed over to pick Mindy off the floor. "Hurry! We have to get her

Chapter 4

The surgery was scheduled for three days later.I contacted an online media company and sent them the photos of the things I'd found in Mindy's trash, the voice recording, and also Mindy's spending records over the past few years.They immediately replied, "Holy shit, this is an interesting scoop! We'll take on this job!"I then contacted my old college friend, Phil Stewart, who worked in the hematology department in Luxora Hospital."Hey, Phil, I need you to do me a favor. Could you bring a few experts to observe the surgery that day?""Sure. Just say the word, and I'll be right there!"…I went through all sorts of tests before the surgery. However, I was careful and secretly replaced all the blood samples with those Phil had prepared for me beforehand.The night before the surgery, Mom made me a bowl of cheddar soup for the first time in as long as I could remember."Here, Cindy. Have some of this soup before you go for the surgery tomorrow."She looked at me with a rare h

Chapter 5

Ian's voice seemed to flit around from one place to another.I could hear the sound of the bed wheels rolling across the floor, and my anger and despair reached their peak at this moment.I really wanted to rip out Ian's heart to see just how dark and horrible it was! He was trying to kill me!Hate and resentment burned fiercely in my chest as I fought hard against the surging effects of the drug.This was my second chance at life, and I certainly wasn't going to let the same things happen again because of a repeated mistake I made!I used the last of my strength to bite down on my tongue as hard as possible, and the smell of blood immediately filled my senses. The searing pain made me alert for a short while.I shook as I fumbled for my phone, tapped the emergency contact button, and sent my text message.After that, the phone dropped from my fingers and slipped away."Quick! Wheel her into the operating theatre!" Dr. Bean said urgently.Just as I was about to be wheeled in,

"What do you think you're doing? This is my daughter's surgery! What right do you have to barge in like this!" Mom cried."I'm the patient's husband! How dare you barge into the operating room just like that? I'm going to sue you for malpractice!"Ian and Mom rushed in. When they saw so many people gathered around us, and that I still hadn't been pushed into the operating theatre, a flicker of panic appeared on their faces. However, they quickly pulled themselves together and immediately adopted a victim's stance.Ian rushed forward and shoved Phil away. "You're Dr. Stewart, right? I know that you're Cindy's college classmate, but you can't just barge in like this and cause trouble for everyone just because you used to know her!"Mindy's still waiting for her life-saving transplant! Can you afford to face the consequences if anything terrible happened to her because of you?"Mom collapsed to the ground and began wailing loudly. "This is outrageous! Preposterous! The doctor is

Chapter 7

Mindy was wearing a beanie and a mask on her face as she waved weakly to the camera.Mom wiped her tears away as she stood next to the wheelchair, her performance extremely emotional and convincing."How are you feeling now, Ms. Cindy Sampson? Are you afraid?" the paparazzi asked next, shoving the microphone in my face.I looked into the camera and gave it a pitiful smile. "I'm not afraid. I'm willing to give up my life as long as I'm able to save my sister's life."Ian nodded his head in approval next to me."Alright, the time has come. Get ready to be wheeled into the operation theater."Dr. Bean then came up to us with a team of nurses, exchanging glances with Ian."Wait a second!" I suddenly said, stopping Dr. Bean in his movements.Everyone's eyes were on me at once.Ian frowned as he lowered his voice to warn me. "Stop throwing a fuss, Cindy. The media is watching us. Don't make a fool out of yourself."I ignored his warning and spoke in a weak yet determined voice. "I

Chapter 8

The crowd erupted in uproar."What? Mindy's not sick? But she was lying to her sister the whole time about the bone marrow for five years?""The doctor was clearly about to push her into the operating theatre just now! This is plain murder!"Ian sank to the floor in a heap, his face completely ashen.Just then, Mom, who had been screaming and wailing and crying her eyes out, suddenly stopped. She slowly got to her feet, wiped her tears away, and looked at me with a malicious, resentful expression on her face."I… I never intended to say this," she started in a trembling voice. "I never wanted to air the family's dirty laundry in public like this. I'd been doing it all for Cindy's sake! I was just trying to save her reputation!"She then pointed at me shakily and said, "Everyone, you've just been lied to! Mindy isn't the one who's sick. It's her! It was Cindy all along!"Everyone fell silent at once.Even I was shocked. I frowned and asked, "What nonsense are you saying, Mom?"

Chapter 9

Dr. Bean was the first one to react. "It's fake! It's all fake! It was face-swapped with AI!"He lunged at the TV to unplug the drive, but he was firmly pinned to the ground by two of Phil's doctors.He continued to roar from the ground, his face flushed and with veins bulging from his neck."I've never been to a place like that ever before! I am a licensed doctor! This video was fabricated to frame me on purpose! I'm suing you for defamation!"Ian also recovered from his shock and quickly staggered back, putting some distance between himself and Dr. Bean."This… Yeah! It's AI! It has to be fake!"Ian then pointed at me while feigning a look of sudden realization on his face. "I know that you don't want to donate your bone marrow to Mindy, Cindy, but did you really have to hire someone to come up with a fake video like this to frame Dr. Bean? Don't you know that he's a high authority in his field? How could he possibly be dabbling in something so illegal as this?"He then turn

Chapter 10

"You animals! You absolute beasts!"The crowd of reporters and paparazzi was enraged. Some of them even threw their water bottles in Ian's face.Ian's face was covered in blood as he scrambled to his feet, pointing at Mindy and shouting, "It was her! It was all her fault! She said that she didn't want to work and only wanted to enjoy life! She was the one who convinced me to play along with her pretending to be sick!"Mindy screamed in retort."That's bullshit, Ian Huffman! You were the one who seduced me first! You said that Cindy was boring as fuck, and that we could go abroad and live a carefree life once we killed her and got the insurance payout! You were the one who came up with the idea! It was you!"I coldly watched them turn against each other. These two people who used to be inseparable from each other were now just lunging at each other's throats in the face of profit.Just then, the sound of police sirens appeared in the hospital lobby.Mom's eyes doubled in terror.
