Chapter 1

"What are you doing, sneaking around?"Jackie Santos suddenly spoke from behind me. I jumped in fright, breaking the plate in my hand on the ground.The Donna, Marie Delgado, rushed into the room and pushed me to the ground."Ah!" I was unprepared and fell onto the broken shards. The shards pierced my skin, and I started bleeding profusely, but Marie ignored my wounds as she strode over to hold Jackie in her arms, nervously checking every part of her body."Are you hurt anywhere, Jackie?""I'm fine, Momma."Marie glared at me angrily after making sure that Jackie was fine. She was furious. "How can you be so clumsy? You can't even hold a plate properly! Lucky for you, Jackie is fine, or I'll make sure you pay for it!"The lighting shone right over her head, which blurred her face from where I was. The only thing I could see were her eyes, which were bright but filled with disgust for me. "I'm sorry. It slipped from my hands."All I received in reply was a cold grunt, which made

"Who are you talking to on the phone?"An extended Lincoln stopped slowly in front of me with its windows down, revealing Frank's cold face. I hung up silently on the hospital's donor center as he got out of the car, frowning with an authoritative air around him."Answer me!" Frank flung a document bag at me. "Explain to me right now what this is!"The document bag had been opened. A few test reports and a form from the gene bank used for searching one's biological family fell out. I had secretly left a blood sample at the gene bank after I found out my heart was failing.I was filled with sorrow then, thinking that I would like to sneak a peek at my biological parents in a hidden corner if they were still alive because I was dying. All I wanted was one look at them because I wanted to know if there was anyone in the world who once looked forward to my birth.However, my meager wish had now become a betrayal in the eyes of Frank."You're such a disappointment, Jenny." Frank looke

Chapter 3

I had no idea how many buses we changed and how long we walked on the small, muddy path before we finally arrived at the slums. Under the dim moonlight, I could see poorly built brick and zinc houses packed closely together. The air was thick with the stench of something rancid, and I dragged my heavy feet, following behind Simon and Susan into a small, low house.When we entered the house, Susan immediately grabbed my little bundle and poured the contents onto the ground. Her face fell when she saw only a few old, washed-out clothes and a pitiful handful of coins fall out of it."This is all you have?" Susan picked up a piece of my clothing with two fingers in disgust and started saying shrilly, "Why don't you own any proper jewelry after staying for so many years with the Santos family? Even my mother would find these few lousy pieces of clothes too cheap for her to wear!"Simon spat on the ground and grabbed my wrist with such force that my bones almost broke. "Talk! Did you hi

Chapter 4

I started to lose consciousness. This could be the end of my life, as memories started to play in my mind like a reel. All the sadness I endured and suppressed immediately rushed to the surface. When I was ten, Jackie and I practiced shooting.The first time I touched a gun, I hit the bull's-eye. I ran to tell Frank about it happily, hoping for some praise, but he looked at me grimly and forbade me to get anywhere near the shooting range."Jackie missed her shots, but you hit the bull's-eye. Are you trying to compete with her? How can you be so competitive and scheme something like this at a young age? You should know your place!"When I was 16, I had food poisoning. I had diarrhea and kept throwing up, and I also ended up with a burning fever. I begged Marie to take me to the hospital, but she got annoyed with my request as she was busy taking Jackie to the theme park."Are you trying to get our attention again? Stop trying to ruin Jackie's fun!"Marie left without another glan

The towel in Marie's hand fell to the ground. "What did you just say?" Her hands trembled while holding onto the phone, and her voice became shrill. "What kind of joke is this? Jenny just called in the afternoon, pretending to be sick. How can she be dead? Oh, wait, I know what's going on. You must be the people she hired to help her trick us, right?"The police officer replied solemnly, "We're not joking around with you, Mrs. Santos. Her body is at the district police station right now, undergoing a preliminary autopsy. She died two hours ago. A patrol officer found her body in the slums nearby, where two people were trying to bury her body in secret."Their names are Simon Leek and Susan Lowry. They told us that you handed your daughter over to them. Please make your way to our station at Siloren to identify the body and cooperate with our investigation."The call hung up after that.Marie froze and turned pale, unable to say another word.Jackie turned to look at her in bewil

"Late-stage heart failure?"Frank's throat felt dry when he picked up the medical report. His eyes widened. They were filled with red veins, and Frank could not stop shaking his head. "This… This is impossible! She never said anything about being sick. She said she wanted to go to the hospital before she left, and she even secretly tried to find her real parents…" The police officer sneered and showed them a copy of my organ donation consent form. "We checked with the hospital, and she was there to consult about donating her organs. We found this organ donation consent form on her." My writing could be seen on the form, but it was ugly because I was too weak to hold the pen properly. "Most of your daughter's organs have been heavily damaged due to her heart failure. Only her corneas can be transplanted."Marie fell, sitting on the ground as she stared at the crumpled form. She started sobbing hysterically. "She's lying! She did this on purpose! She's just using this method to g

Frank stared at the last sentence, his eyes nearly popping out from the shock. "She knew… She knew everything."His hands trembled so much that he lost his grip on the letter, which floated onto the carpet that I had stained with my blood a few days ago. The bloodstains had been cleaned after a night's washing, but when Marie saw the carpet, she lunged at it crazily, clutching at the wool with all her might."Jenny's blood… Jenny's blood is still there… She knew she was our daughter, but she watched us dote on Jackie while sidelining her. She watched us give her away to someone else… Ahhhhhh!" Marie wailed. "Why?! Why didn't she expose us? She should have questioned us!"Marie was hysterical, acting like a helpless mother who had just lost her cub. She finally understood why I left without argument. It was not because I was giving in to what they wanted, nor had I submitted to them. It was because I had given up on them. I did not want them anymore.I used my life to draw a lin

Chapter 8

The Santos family descended into chaos the next few days.Frank ignored the family and focused instead on getting Simon and Susan out of prison by replacing them with two corpses. They were locked up in the interrogation room and tortured beyond belief. However, this was not enough to lessen Frank's guilt.He started suffering from insomnia because the moment he closed his eyes, he could hear the last conversation we had before I died. "Jenny Santos! Didn't you just hear what I just said to you? Stop pretending! If you enjoy saying such horrible things, then you better be really dead!"Every word he said was like a boomerang that came back to strike him.Frank went to the basement to go through all of my belongings. There really was nothing much that I owned. All I had was an old pillow, an old blanket, and a diary that recorded my thoughts over the years.I had written about how I used to long to share my happiness and the numerous times they had pushed me away out of disgust.

Chapter 9

Santos Villa turned dead silent once more.I floated to the window to watch Jackie run out the door in a fluster without feeling a tinge of sympathy.Jackie was a drug addict, and the jewelry she took with her would not last long. It was not difficult to guess what her ending would be without help from the Santos family. She was not an evil person. She was just greedy like every normal person in the world, and it was a vice that Frank and Marie had encouraged to grow by indulging her without limit, turning her into the person she was today.This time, Jackie would finally pay the price for all her wrongdoings.The next day, Frank received a call from the hospital's organ donation center. "Hello, Mr. Santos. We're calling to update you on the cornea your daughter, Jenny Santos, donated. The recipient has been healing well, and her family would like to express their gratitude in person. Would you like to meet them?" Frank's grip on his phone tightened. "Yes, I'd like to."That a
