She Healed Me to Harvest My Life
During an avalanche, I risk my life to save my girlfriend, Naomi Sutton. I end up losing a leg and an eye.
On the day I'm discharged from the hospital, she tells me, "I've done my part by taking care of you this whole time. There's no way I'll spend the rest of my life with a cripple. You understand why I need to do this, right, Caleb?"
I've already resigned myself to a life of constant darkness when Zoey Rivers shows up. She doesn't mind that I'm disabled. She gently heals all of my wounds.
Following our decision to get married, I start going through our belongings to prepare for our upcoming move to our new marital home. Unexpectedly, I stumble across Zoey's backup phone in the house.
I find a secondary social media account that Zoey has been using to track the moving journey of her sister's battle against a crippling illness.
The latest update reads, "I'm about to get married. Once it's official, I'll get him to donate a kidney to my sister at once, and she'll be saved."

At that very moment, the door opens behind me.
"What's the matter, Caleb? Since you're at home, why didn't you answer me when I called for you?"
