Without money for treatment, she’s going to die.Soon after, my past with Roman was exposed. Our once-sweet campus romance was made public.MidnightNova: They were so in love and always together. I never believed those rumors about Celeste.BreadOverload: Me neither. There has to be a reason. They were together for eight years.

Many even expressed sympathy for what I had been through.More and more people believed that I had no choice but to leave Roman.In the end, the surgeon who had personally removed my kidney came forward and revealed the truth.JohnRenalCareMD: This was supposed to be confidential, but in all my years as a doctor, I’ve never seen anything like it.

Death Is Where You’re Missing Chapter 1
Roman Archer was recognized as the nation’s youngest medical genius. His research on kidney disease treatment was expected to significantly reduce mortality rates.Meanwhile, I suffered from kidney failure. As I could not afford treatment, my attending physician was certain I would not survive the month.On television, the host asked Roman to call the person he could never truly let go of.“Back then, you looked down on me for not having any achievements. Do you regret it now?”I glanced at the hospital bill I could not afford. Then, I looked at him on the screen and chuckled softly.“Roman, you’re so successful now. Could you lend me a hundred thousand dollars?”The call was ruthlessly cut off. Roman let out a deep breath and faced the camera.“Okay, I can truly move on now.”Little did he know that when he suffered from kidney failure, I was the one who donated a kidney to him.After the interview ended, I received a deposit of one hundred thousand dollars in my bank account
Death Is Where You’re Missing Chapter 2
Roman and I were high school classmates. We had a beautiful and romantic mutual crush. We promised to apply to the same university.We were together for eight years. Back then, he had yet to become the outstanding genius he is today.We were just two ordinary students with nothing to our name. However, because we had each other, we became the most important people in each other’s lives.We promised to graduate, work hard, and use everything we had learned to build a future together.But just when we had finally secured stable jobs, Roman was diagnosed with a kidney disease.The cost of Medicare Part B injection drugs was insane.We spent all of our hard-earned savings, yet it was barely enough to keep things going.We applied for medical assistance, but we were rejected for not meeting the qualifications.To afford his treatment, I cut back on everything. Some days, I ate only one meal. At times, my meals cost no more than five dollars.Even then, it was barely enough to get

Roman held Blake’s hand and turned to leave. She was still pleading on my behalf.But when she glanced back, I caught the look in her eyes. The pity was just an act. Beneath it was nothing but gloating and malice.I picked up the crumpled medical report from the floor. A sharp pain suddenly shot through my lower back.Dizziness washed over me. I pressed against the wall and inched toward the bed. By the time I reached it, I had no strength left.I stared at the words “kidney disease” on the paper, then instinctively placed my hand over the source of my pain.Beneath my fingertips, I felt a jagged, uneven scar. Underneath it, a healthy kidney was missing.Roman had a scar just like mine.Five years ago, he had grown weaker by the day as he waited endlessly for a donor. He had grown so thin that he was nothing but skin and bones.Death loomed closer each day. In the end, I gave him my kidney.Losing one kidney had not killed me. But the complications that followed were a differe

He had become a renowned surgeon.The illness that had once nearly defeated him had become a condition he could cure.The future we had once dreamed of together had come true for him.On the other hand, I had no future left.His interviews were everywhere. They were on TV, in newspapers, and all over social media. Everyone praised him for his talent and bright future.A strange, bitter feeling crept over me.Yet, I felt a faint trace of happiness too.At least his future was bright.The sudden ringing of my phone snapped me out of my thoughts. It was the bank.They told me the transfer of one hundred thousand dollars had been a mistake. I had to return the money immediately. If I failed to return it, they would take legal action.After hanging up, I lay on my bed and stared at the stained ceiling. My mouth was filled with unbearable bitterness. It was like I had swallowed something vile.After a long while, I called Lily and asked her to help me find a job.Roman must have

“So, this is Dr. Roman’s ex-girlfriend? I heard she abandoned him when he was at his lowest.”“Really? Then she doesn’t deserve any sympathy.”“Exactly. Women like her should be picking up trash on the streets.”Before I could react, someone splashed red wine over my head.Juice, milk, and more wine followed. Glass after glass hit me, shattering upon impact.The people around me wanted to curry favor with Roman. They seized the chance to vent his anger on his behalf.Blood trickled down my forehead and stained my face.I felt nothing. My heart had long since gone numb.Roman watched me with a cold and indifferent gaze.“Celeste, don’t you have anything to say? Do I have to pay you just to get you to talk to me?“Looks like you’ve studied my schedule well. You came here just to ask me for money, didn’t you?”He pointed at the stacks of wine crates beside the waiters and said, “Move all of these to the storage room. Do that, and I’ll give you five hundred thousand dollars.”H

Roman froze when he heard Lily’s words.The anger and mockery on his face vanished, replaced by shock and fear.His eyes widened as he stared at me. I was lying in a pool of blood.He took several steps back and shook his head in disbelief.“Celeste, you’re truly something. You even got someone to help you stage this just to deceive me.”I was too weak to stand. Leaning against Lily, I looked at his pale face and let out a cold laugh.To him, I was just a woman who would do anything for money.Since he had become successful, he probably thought I had come crawling back. I would even be willing to throw away my dignity, lie, and scheme just to get a share of it.I met his gaze and smiled, even though my heart was breaking.“Celeste, you make me sick.”Slowly, I pulled away from Lily’s support. My body swayed, but I steadied myself.“What a shame. You still figured it out in the end.”Lily wanted to interrupt, but I stopped her with a glance. She bit her lip and fell silent.
Death Is Where You’re Missing Chapter 7
Perhaps God took pity on me. He allowed me to see Roman again before my time ran out.I quickly accepted this reality. Whether I had a month or just half of that, it made no difference to me.Lily kept crying.“Don’t cry. I won’t die that soon.”I did not want to spend my final days in a hospital, so I asked Lily to help me with the discharge procedures.With the five hundred thousand dollars Roman gave me, I bought myself a nice burial plot.Roman and I used to dream about owning a home together. That was our first goal in life.I had wandered from place to place my whole life. In death, I finally had a place of my own. It would be a quiet place that belonged to me, where no one could disturb me.I did not need any burial items. The things that mattered most to me had always been in my heart.When I returned to the basement, Lily was already there. She looked like she wanted to say something but held back.“What is it?”She handed me her phone. A video of what happened that

I used to live in one of the low, run-down houses next to an orphanage. The walls were cracked and peeling.Roman would find out sooner or later that I had given him my kidney.By then, I would already be gone.I did not care how he would react, nor did I have the strength to think about it.I was an orphan and had grown up in an orphanage.The first time I ever left was when I went to college.I met Roman for the first time on my first day as a freshman.I could still remember that day. His side profile was sharp and handsome. His bright smile revealed perfectly white teeth.With him, I experienced my first conversation, my first confession, my first time holding hands, my first kiss, and so much more. All of my firsts had been with him.The memories weighed heavily on me. No matter how much time passed, they never faded.It had been years since I last returned. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and moss covered the walls.As I cleaned the place, I reminisced. The m
