Chapter 1 My Sister Came Back for My Liver

After a long silence, Sherry Bennett let out a cold laugh. "You really haven't changed. Seven years later, and you're still pretending to be innocent." Her eyes narrowed as she looked me over. "You're sick? What kind of illness needs surgery?" I smiled faintly. "Stage-four glioblastoma. Brain cancer." I glanced at the donation papers beside me. "I figured my organs would do more good saving people than rotting underground." Something flickered across Sherry's face, but it vanished almost instantly, replaced by that same icy look. "Cut the act. Do you think playing pathetic is going to make me feel sorry for you?" Her gaze swept over the small hospice room, taking in the peeling walls, the worn folding chair, and the dying flowers by the window. "So life didn't work out after you left home?" she mocked. "If you hadn't done those disgusting things back then, maybe you wouldn't have ended up like this." I lowered my eyes to look at my hands. They were so thin now that every

Chapter 2 The Day My Sister Chose Him

My mind drifted back fourteen years. I was thirteen then, and Sherry was twenty-one. Our parents had died in a car crash, leaving behind the Bennett family fortune and a swarm of relatives circling like vultures. Back then, Sherry protected me as if her life depended on it. At the funeral, one of our drunk uncles pointed at me and snarled, "That kid's cursed. Your parents died because of him." Sherry punched him so hard his nose exploded with blood. Then she stood in front of me and warned coldly, "Touch my brother again, and I'll make you regret being born."That night, she held me while I cried until I could barely breathe. "It's okay, Landon," she whispered over and over. "I'm here. I'll protect you for the rest of my life." I believed her completely. I thought it would always be the two of us against the world. Then, Mason Bennett showed up—our father's son from another relationship—and everything changed. Mason was sickly, so Sherry gave him my bedroom because it

Chapter 3 The Brother I Refused to Save

Her entire body stiffened. "What did you just say?" "I said I'll donate part of my liver to him." I looked at her calmly. "But after the surgery, I'm leaving the Bennett family. From then on, all of you can pretend I'm dead." Sherry remained silent for a long time before she finally nodded. On the day of the surgery, they wheeled me into the operating room. Just before the doors shut, I saw Sherry standing outside. Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something. In the end, she stayed silent. The transplant was successful, and Mason survived. And I lost a third of my liver, along with my place in the Bennett family. From then on, I never went home again. … That afternoon, Sherry came back. This time, Mason was with her. Seven years had passed. He was taller now, leaner, and more polished than before. Yet his eyes still carried that same false innocence, soft and wounded, as if he had never hurt anyone in his life. Sherry sat beside my hospital bed.

Chapter 4 The Truth Came Too Late

My heart sank. "What are you trying to do?" "Nothing." Sherry put her phone away. "Since you're so determined to donate your organs to strangers, I'll make sure those strangers never get them." I stared at her. "I'll have the hospital cancel your donor consent," she continued coldly. "Then, I'll use every resource the Bennett family has to keep you alive." Her eyes hardened. "You'll suffer until you agree to save Mason." I snapped, "You're insane!" "You forced my hand," she replied. "Landon, you're too selfish. Because of your pathetic pride and resentment, you'd rather hurt innocent people." Her voice turned colder. "You're just like you were back then. Cruel to the bone." With that, she took Mason and left. I lay in bed, shaking with rage. … That night, someone from the hospital came to inform me that my donation surgery had been canceled. "We received a report questioning your mental state," the staff member explained. "Because of that, you may not be fit to

Chapter 5 The Truth She Found After I Died

Sherry's head snapped up. Through the glass, she looked at my lifeless body lying inside the ICU. Her eyes were bloodshot, filled with shock, regret, and a kind of despair that had come far too late. On the tablet, every piece of evidence cut into her like a blade. The security footage clearly showed Mason sneaking my phone out of my backpack, logging into my account, and sending those vicious messages in the class group chat. His head was lowered, but the smug curve of his mouth was impossible to miss.After he finished, he carefully slipped the phone back into the same spot. Then came the exam incident. The footage showed Mason taking advantage of the moment I left for the bathroom. He slipped over to my desk, flipped through my test papers, then later "accidentally" told the teacher that I had studied late the night before and somehow guessed every key topic. The most chilling clip was from the stairwell. In the video, I was walking downstairs with my backpack over on

Chapter 6 She Learned the Truth Too Late

Sherry took the letter from the doctor, her hands trembling so badly she could barely hold it. The handwriting on the page was thin, but familiar. 'Sherry, by the time you read this, I'll already be gone. Thank you for the warmth you once showed me. After Mom and Dad died, you were the one who held the family together. You protected me all those years, and I never forgot that. 'I still remember you trying to learn how to make my favorite roasted beef just to cheer me up. You nearly burned down the kitchen that night. I remember getting sick and waking up to find you sitting beside my bed, staying up all night to tell me stories until I fell asleep again. 'I remember you promising that you would protect me for the rest of your life. Back then, I truly believed we would always have each other. Too bad nothing in this world lasts forever. Still, thank you for teaching me that. 'When I die, don't bring my ashes back to the Bennett family. Just bury me somewhere quiet, somewhere n

Chapter 7 A Hundred Times His Pain

Mason asked, "Where did you get this?" Sherry crouched in front of him, her eyes cold enough to cut. "Did you really think no one would ever find out?" Mason trembled under her stare. "These past seven years must have been comfortable for you," she continued. "The precious young heir of the Bennett family. Whatever you wanted, you got." Her voice tightened. "But do you know how Landon spent those seven years?" She pulled out a stack of photos.… They showed the life I had lived after leaving the Bennett family. In one photo, I stood beside a factory line, my fingers wrapped in bloodstained gauze after a machine accident. In another, I was covered in dust at a construction site, so thin that my work gloves looked too large for my hands. Another showed me curled up alone in a hospital hallway. The last one showed me in a freezing rented basement, hugging my knees to my chest as I shivered in the dark. Every photo cut into her heart. "Look at them." Sherry grabb

Chapter 8 No Amount of Regret Could Bring Me Back

Sherry chose the anniversary of the day I left home to bring my body back. "Landon," she whispered softly, "let me walk you one last time." I followed behind her in silence. Her back, once straight and proud, now seemed bent beneath an invisible weight. She was only thirty-four, yet she looked like someone who had already lived through a lifetime of grief. She took me to be cremated herself. She personally placed my ashes into the urn. Then, she drove to a small hill on the outskirts of Silverbrook. There were no headstones, no cemetery, and no grand memorial. Only endless wildflowers swaying in the wind. Sherry dug the grave herself and gently placed my ashes into the ground, as if she were afraid of hurting me again. Then, she stayed there throughout the night. Her voice trembled in the darkness. "Landon, I'm here with you. I'll come see you every year from now on."… After Mason was discharged from the hospital, his life completely fell apart. He could no long

Chapter 9 My Late Revenge

When Sherry heard about Mason's condition, she went to see him one last time. She found him inside an abandoned factory on the edge of Silverbrook, curled up in a dark corner and trembling violently. The moment he saw her, his eyes lit up. He crawled across the dirty floor and clung to her leg like a drowning man grabbing at his final hope. "Sherry… Landon's ghost keeps coming to me," he choked out. "He says he's going to drag me to hell with him." Sherry looked down at him with pure disgust in her eyes. "You should have gone to hell a long time ago." She crouched in front of him and grabbed him by the throat. "Do you know what Landon said before he died?" Mason shook his head desperately, tears streaming down his face. "He said the biggest mistake of his life was saving you," she told him, her voice turning colder with every word. "He said if he could do it all over again, he would rather die than donate his liver to you." Mason broke down completely. "I'm sorry… I'm

Chapter 10 I Don't Want Another Life With You

After everything was done, Sherry returned to my grave. She stayed there for three days and nights, barely eating or drinking. She let the wind cut through her and the rain soak her clothes until she looked less like a living person and more like a ghost waiting to fade away. Her assistant came to persuade her. "Ms. Bennett, your health—" "Leave," Sherry rasped. "Let me stay with him." The assistant sighed and walked away. I floated beside her, watching her hollow cheeks and the strands of white in her hair. For the first time in a long while, my heart ached. This woman had once been the sister I loved most. Now, she had become this. To avenge me, she had destroyed Mason with her own hands. She had destroyed herself as well.… Not long after, Sherry fell ill. The doctors said it was heart failure and that she had three months left at most, but she refused treatment. "I don't want to live anymore," she told the doctor quietly. "I want to go be with my brother." Then
