All Chapters of His Organs Gave Him Away: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

In the dim light, I stared blankly at the ring of teeth marks on Andy Croft’s shoulder.Fresh red scratches from a woman’s nails ran down Andy’s back.It hurt to look at them.Just then, the phone on the nightstand lit up. I instinctively glanced over.A flood of photos appeared in a message thread from someone saved as “Rach”.In front of the crystal-clear waters of the Celestial Isles, Andy had an arm around Rachel Walser’s shoulders. He was grinning without a care in the world.I remembered the day Andy proposed to me. He had dropped to one knee on the beach and said, “Olivia, when I can afford it, I’ll give you a grand proposal ceremony again in the Celestial Isles.”Three years had passed since then.I scrolled through the photos. Each one sent a fresh stab of pain through my chest.Three months earlier, when I was running a free medical outreach clinic in a remote mountain community, Andy was embracing and kissing Rachel beneath the snow-covered peaks of Wintermere.I r

I sent John a message.“Please list the house under my name for sale. I’m moving to another city to start over.”After packing the few belongings I planned to take with me, I made one final visit to the clinic where I used to work.Several patients who had come specifically to see me had checked in and were waiting for their appointments.When it was the last female patient’s turn, the woman kept her mask on and spoke with an irritated tone. “So, you’re the healer who can diagnose anything with a touch? Go ahead, then. Tell me what’s wrong with me.”I was accustomed to first-time patients treating my gift like some kind of sideshow.The instant my fingers made contact with her skin, I heard her uterus groan weakly.“Even being pregnant, they’re still sleeping together constantly! Do they even want this baby? Unbelievable. They couldn’t even restrain themselves in the fitting rooms at the mall. Are they really that desperate? At this rate, she’s going to lose the baby!”I with

The livestream, which had been flooded with scrolling comments, came to an abrupt halt the instant the man in the midnight-blue overcoat appeared.Then the questions began pouring in again.[Who is that man?]Joseph Fry, my fellow apprentice, ignored everyone else in the room and walked straight toward me. “Olivia, I went to the address Dr. Voss gave me to pick you up. When I couldn’t find you, I started asking around. That’s how I learned what had happened.”He swept a cold gaze over Andy and Rachel in the room. “Do you have any idea who she is? Olivia is the heir to a bloodline of diagnostic empaths and one of the most gifted healers of her generation. You have no right to treat her this way.”Rachel clutched her abdomen. A flicker of panic crossed her eyes. “Do you expect us to believe you just because you showed up in some dramatic coat and started making wild accusations? How dare you lie about me? I lost my baby, and she’s the one who caused it! You’re obviously an act

Andy yanked his arm free from Rachel’s grasp. His brow furrowed tightly.In the past, the sight of Rachel in tears would have softened him instantly. At that moment, however, he felt nothing but disgust.“Tell me the truth. Who is the father?”When Rachel refused to speak, Joseph called out toward the door. “You can come in now.”The door opened and a heavyset man with a fleshy face stepped into the room.The moment Rachel saw him, terror took hold of her.She stumbled backward. Her voice was breaking as she said, “Stay away from me! Don’t come any closer! I’ll get you the money. I promise!”Andy stared at the man in shock.“Aren’t you Rachel’s cousin? Wait, have you been lying to me this whole time?”The man let out a contemptuous snort. “Oh, I’m not her cousin. We made that up so she could get close to you. After all, you’ve been my cash cow.”The man unlocked his phone and pulled up a series of wedding portraits between him and Rachel.“Rachel and I have been married for

“As for Rachel, she received a lengthy prison sentence. From what I heard, she’ll probably be behind bars for close to a decade. I can’t say I feel sorry for her. She finally got what was coming to her and paid for everything she did.”I did not even look up as I continued sipping the tonic.In the end, Rachel had brought it all upon herself.After swallowing the final spoonful of tonic, I asked softly, “What about the bad news?”A look of annoyance crossed Joseph’s face.“Ever since you returned to Mount Hawthorne, that cheating piece of trash has been camping outside the estate. I tried several times to send him away, but Dr. Voss stopped me. He said this is something you need to face and put behind you yourself. Andy showed up again just now, demanding to see you. I kicked him out, but he still refuses to leave. He should’ve thought of that before he betrayed you.”I set the empty bowl aside and said softly, “Got it.”For three days, a man dressed in black waited outside the
