The Burning Love
After four failed matching attempts, I finally got a matching heart.
Seth Jones, my brother, rushed back to the country, and I thought that he was going to operate on me.
Suddenly, Jody Jones, the real heiress, was diagnosed with a heart condition.
Seth came to me with an agreement and kept trying to convince me to sign it. “Elena, give Jody the heart, please! She’s frail and can’t wait. You can still last a little longer. You can get other donors in the future.”
Trembling in rage, I chased him out.
But on the second day, someone took my heart.
I hung onto one last shred of hope and went to Julius, my fiance. I heard him talking to Seth in the corridor. “We did betray Elena. We took revenge for Jody during the first four matches and lied to Elena that those were failed matches. But this time, Jody’s really sick. The heart has to go to her. Once Jody has the heart transplant and recovers, we’ll make it up to Elena.”
At that moment, I finally realized that they were the reason I had almost come close to death a few times before.
I did not go in to demand answers. Instead, I cradled my chest and wiped my tears away. “System, activate the return procedure.”
