Lie and Regret
After giving my son, Cameron Spencer, one of my corneas, he had a memory distortion and confused me for his father's childhood sweetheart, Joanna Lister.
Such dreadful news caused me to be in so much pain that I refused to wake up.
However, during the time that I was semiconscious, I heard my son and my husband's conversation.
"Dad, does this mean Joanna will keep me company in the future?"
"Yes, it does. You've put on a great act, son!"
My attending surgeon couldn't stand their heartlessness and said, "Mr. Spencer, your son’s eyes are fine, but you lied to Mrs. Spencer in order for her to donate her cornea for Ms. Lister. If Mrs. Spencer finds out, I'm afraid..."
"There's nothing to be afraid of. She loves Cameron and me so much and she's an orphan as well. There's nowhere she could go after leaving us. Joanna's all alone in this city and she's almost gone blind. We can't waste any more time!"
I lay on the bed as my hopeless tears soaked the pillow.
All they cared about was Joanna.
But what they didn't know was that I was dying due to the operation.
