“Is that so?” Zach massaged the center of his brows again and shut his eyes.I, too, shut my eyes.If Zach had asked a few more questions to get a clearer answer or even called me, even if I could never hear his voice clearly again, my phone would still ring… in the trunk of his car.But he did not do it.Not in the past, and not in the present.He would not do it in the future either.With my kidney, Catherine’s surgery was a success.Zach was really concerned about Catherine. Even if she had not woken up, he never left her side.When she did, he finally felt relieved.“Thanks for saving me, Zach.”“You don’t have to thank me. We’re friends, after all. Besides, you saved my life.”Catherine forced a smile and said nothing else, as if she was weakened by the surgery and did not have the strength to speak.But I was the only one who knew that she was feeling guilty.She knew that the one who saved Zach in the past was not her, but me.Honestly, though, I think that to Zach

Catherine first showed up in our lives when Zach was in university, and he started talking about her a lot.Catherine, Catherine…I went to see her in secret once. She was really pretty and came from a good family. She was like a prideful swan.Compared to me, who could not speak and could not hear clearly, she was like a precious gemstone, and I was dirt.Later on, when Zach went hiking with her, I followed behind them in secret as well.I saw Zach smiling at her in a relaxed fashion. It was a smile he had never shown me.At that moment, I was really worried about losing him.I was like a dull clown who was following behind a couple who were perfect for each other.Then, when I saw them arguing and splitting up, I felt relieved.But their argument that time nearly cost Zach his life.He slipped and fell off the cliff.I did not really know how I managed to find him, nor did I know how I managed to carry someone who weighed more than 140 pounds back to the hiking track when

Once he was certain that all of Catherine’s vital signs were normal, Zach was satisfied, and he went back home.He had sent a message to me and told me that he was coming back for dinner tonight. So, he thought that I would welcome him with an apron around my waist and a table full of food, like a dog who would foolishly wag my tail at him while I waited for my master to come home.But he never thought that he would be welcomed by cold silence.When he could not find me in any of the rooms in the house, he took his phone out and finally called me.It was on the third day of my death.Just as I expected, Zach was told that my phone was turned off.Frustrated, Zach threw his phone away.“Stella! You think you’re hot sh*t now, huh?! Fine! It’s not as if you can throw a tantrum forever, anyway!”Then, he picked up his phone and typed a message.[If you don’t come home today, don’t ever come back again!]Once done, he threw the phone on the sofa. After some thought, he added anoth

That night, Zach occasionally checked his phone like a trapped beast.He did not even go back to his bed to sleep. He just kept waiting on the sofa, just like what I did all these years.When the sun rose, he finally opened his bloodshot eyes.“Well, well, Stella, you’ve got guts. When I find you, I’m going to skin you alive!”But you have already skinned me, Zach.I sighed, but no one knew about it.The wind blew past the curtains.After a night of not sleeping and me not picking up when he called me, Zach finally thought about going to my work studio.But before he reached my work studio, he got a call from the hospital.It was Catherine. She was kicking up a fuss and saying that she felt sick.He hesitated for only one second before he turned around and left.My heart was already as calm as still water a long time ago.Of course, he would do this. This was not the first time Zach cast me aside because of Catherine.Naturally, it would not be the last.When Zach was s

With great yearning, I cast a glance at my work studio. I had died too soon. I had an incomplete statue in my work studio.Oh well. It did not matter anymore.Zach rushed back to the hospital, and Catherine was crying up a storm.“Zach, I feel sick. Is it because there’s something wrong with the kidney? It really hurts…”Zach gave her a thorough examination. Once he noticed that there was nothing wrong with her, he placated her with a gentle voice. “Don’t worry, Catherine. It’s all in your head. It’s just a kidney transplant, so it’s fine. Look at me. I’ve had a kidney transplant for years now, and I’m fine, aren’t I?”“Really?” Catherine asked with teary eyes.“Yes. Speaking of which, we’re both suffering from the same fate. You got a kidney transplant, and I got one as well. We also have a rare blood type. If I didn’t have kidney problems of my own, I would have given you one of mine.”As Zach spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression soured.Catheri

For some reason, Zach did not stay long in Catherine’s ward.Instead, he called someone who was an upperclassman of his in university.“Sam, is it really impossible to figure out who my kidney donor is?”“Zach, don’t make this hard for me.” Sam sighed on the other end of the phone and said, “You’re about to marry Stella. Life has been hard for her, so be kind to her.”When Zach’s mother passed away, he blamed me for it, but I also knew that he felt guilty about it.That day, he should have been the one who came to my house.But he threw a tantrum, and his mother came over to give me a cupcake.Over the years, he always felt guilty for his mother’s death.Honestly, he was a gentle and kind person.That was why I had begged Sam not to tell Zach that his kidney donor was me before the surgery.I did not want him to live on with guilt toward me.Sam had always kept this a secret.Zach’s expression turned dark, and he charged home like a madman.Despite us keeping this a secret

I could see that Zach was getting anxious.Perhaps he was trying to get confirmation on something, but he started to look through everything at home.When he saw that none of my clothes were missing, he sighed in relief.Soon, his phone rang.Delight shone on his face, and he quickly answered it.But it was from the wedding company.“Hello, are you Stella Riverra’s family? We’re from Longing, a wedding company. We have been unable to contact Ms. Riverra over the past few days, so we had no choice but to call this number. Ms. Riverra has asked to cancel her wedding dinner reservation, but based on company rules, we can only return 30% of the deposit.”“A wedding company?” Zach was surprised.But he was even more surprised by something else. “Why is she cancelling it?”“Ms. Riverra said that she can’t marry her boyfriend anymore, so she’s cancelling it.”Thud.Zach’s phone fell on the floor. He wanted to pick it up, but he was feeling lost, and his hands were shaking.“Stella

Zach finally went to my work studio, but Gale was the one who met him there.“Is Stella still mad at you? I heard from the others in the work studio that she hasn’t been to work for seven days.”“What? Why didn’t anyone tell me?”“Why? Because you gave your full attention to Catherine, is what! I thought that you didn’t care about Stella anymore. Besides, while she’s mute and deaf, she’s an adult. She’ll be back after her anger cools down and she’s hungry.”Bam!Zach punched Gale in the face and glared at him. “If you know that she’s mute and deaf, then you should know what’s going to happen if she’s harassed while she’s out!”“Harassed while she’s out? Zach, you’re her biggest bully in the world.”Gale flung him off and tugged at his wrinkled collar. “If I were you, I’d stop vying for someone else while keeping her around. At this point, I’d call the police. Of course, you could continue waiting for her to come back like a complete loser. She might even have been by your side a
