I hugged Aria tightly and coaxed her in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, Aria. Mommy's right here…"I paid no mind to the Levys and brought Aria into her bedroom to rest.No one came in to ask about Aria's condition, even after some time had passed.A while later, I could hear the sounds of laughter coming from outside. The Levys were having dinner, yet none of them bothered telling us that dinner was ready.I could vaguely hear Rhonda's voice. "Tommy, I made this prawn dish just for you. Have more of it! Your mom also told me that you loved this beef dish…""Mommy, I want to have dinner too…" Aria said, catching a whiff of the delicious smell of food.I felt Aria's forehead, which was still a little hot. At that moment, a bitter anger flared up within me."Wait here, Aria. I'll bring you some food."I headed into the dining room, picked up the prawn and beef dishes, and went back to the bedroom. After that, I got a bowl of porridge from the kitchen and took a plate of vegetables
I said in a mocking tone, "If Aria is not your daughter, how can you be sure that Larissa's son is yours?""A filthy woman like you has no right to speak about Larissa like that. I'll be honest, then. Tommy is my biological son. Larissa and I will get married after the divorce.""Is that so? Congrats to you, then." I curled my lips.Elias urged me to pack up and take away Aria's and my belongings that day so that he could clear up the rooms for Larissa and her son to move in.Since I had no objections, I immediately followed him back to the house to pack things. After all, I wasn't planning on living in that house again, even if I managed to secure the ownership.When we opened the front door, there was no one in the living room. Then, we heard the sounds of someone moaning coming from Gabriel and Rhonda's room.A soft female voice said flirtatiously, "The plan for Tommy's organ transplant fell through. You need to come up with another plan…""We'll have to wait until things set
However, Elias had focused all of his attention on me and Aria. His only wish was to reconcile with me.He often bought Aria the clothes and the dolls that she liked. He would also take her to the amusement parks. He was treating Aria much better than back when we hadn't gotten divorced.I wouldn't stop Elias from showing Aria the fatherly love he hadn't been able to provide her previously. However, I made it clear to him that there was no chance for us to get back together.Elias had no choice but to give up since he could see that I had made up my mind about it.When we proceeded with the divorce, Elias gave me the house and all of the savings he had accumulated during our marriage. He hoped that Aria and I could live a happy life.…Elias' Point of View:My wife, Kaitlyn Davies, and I had been classmates since we were in middle school. She was smart and pretty. She even came from a wealthy family.Kaitlyn had always had this elegant and impressive presence among our classmat
My mother-in-law's incessant naggings assaulted my ears."You're not doing anything when your child's sick. You won't even prepare dinner for us now. Are you planning on bossing the rest of us around like we're your helpers now?"I was jolted out of my reverie. I quickly checked with Rhonda Olsen, my mother-in-law. "Mom, Elias took Aria to see the doctor in the morning. They're still not back yet?"Rhonda was irked when she heard those words. She pointed at me and snapped, "So what if they're not home yet? My son took that useless child to see the doctor. You're just staying home doing nothing, yet you dare nitpick about things?"Upon hearing her response, I swiftly decided to head to the hospital. In my last life, it only took one day for those people to transfer my daughter, Aria Levy's organs into my husband's mistress' son.I hoped I could still make it in time if I headed to the hospital now.However, Rhonda grabbed hold of my hand when she saw that I was trying to leave. "W
Gabriel looked completely calm as he said those words. It was as though Aria's death was no different than the passing of a household pet.'They're arranging to make her an organ donor? Ha! Who gave them the right to do that?' I scoffed internally."Aria was just down with a bit of cold and fever this morning. There's no way she would die because of that. I want to see Aria! Give her back to me now!"Elias slapped me across my face so forcefully that it made me spit out a bloodied tooth. The taste of blood filled my mouth almost instantly.However, he was completely unbothered by how miserable I looked. He looked at me with disgust and said, "Dad examined Aria and made the diagnosis himself! Are you doubting his medical skills now?"Hurry up and go home now! Stop making a fool of yourself in front of everyone."After seeing the condition I was in, Gabriel took his phone out and made a call. Then, he instructed Elias, "Hurry and get her out of here. Then, come back here as soon as
While I was close to despair, the staff from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality finally showed up at the hospital.I felt slightly more reassured when I saw the man leading their group."Madam, was it you who made the phone call to our agency? What exactly happened? Please tell us more in detail."The man standing at the very front of the group had a stern look on his face and spoke in a businesslike manner. Yet, for some reason, the way he looked at me gave me a great sense of security."Sir, please hurry and rescue my daughter. She's still well and alive, but the deputy director of this hospital is trying to harvest her organs and transplant them into another patient's body—"Rhonda slapped me forcefully before I could finish."What nonsense are you talking about? Are you seriously trying to destroy your father-in-law's career?"She turned and looked at the man. "Sir, there was a misunderstanding. My daughter-in-law just lost her child. She's saying all that nonsen

"What you're committing is murder!" Bruce bellowed furiously.Elias appeared out of nowhere and came forward just then."Dr. Vernon, I'm the girl's father. I've signed the papers and agreed to the organ donation procedure. We, her parents, will bear all the consequences. This has nothing to do with Dr. Levy."Bruce and the others exchanged a few glances. "Do you know what you're doing is considered murder? Your daughter is completely well and healthy. Yet, you were about to end her life…""Well, Aria… She's mentally challenged…" Elias stuttered as he tried to offer an explanation."Whatever the reason may be, you can't recklessly decide to sacrifice a precious life just because you want to."Bruce was exasperated. He cast his gaze on Gabriel. "Gabriel, the patient's family might not understand that. However, you can't possibly be unaware?""Dr. Vernon, Dr. Levy is my father-in-law. Their family prefers boys over girls. My husband's mistress had given birth to a boy. However, he
