The Man Who Gave His Kidney AwayTo save my father-in-law, I donated a kidney—but on the very day I was discharged, she didn't hesitate for a second to shove me into the guest room.
"Those centipede-like scars are disgusting. Don't show yourself to me again!"
In the dead of night, my wound tore open. I collapsed into a pool of blood, dialing her number 100 times, desperate for help.
She hung up every single time. Meanwhile, the master bedroom echoed with Theo Reynold's low, passionate growls.
In that instant, every ounce of strength drained from me.
When I was admitted to the hospital, I held the military medal my mother had left me on her deathbed. That was when I remembered the woman even the mayor bowed to when she walked into a room.
Without thinking, I dialed the long-forgotten number.
