Chapter 8

Penulis: Anonymous
After the boy's mother finished telling Maddox everything, she turned toward my tombstone and gave it a nod.

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Simpson. I was in such a rush to get my son to the hospital that I never got to thank you. Later, when I tried to find you, you were gone.

"I never expected you to have passed away… Why is it that good people never seem to live long?"

Maddox stood frozen in place. He took two steps back, saying nothing before turning and driving away.

I remained at my own grave for a long time. I could not feel the wind or the rain, only a strange, quiet calm.

Even as the truth began to unravel, I did not feel any relief. Only irony.

If Maddox had believed me from the start, the truth would not have needed to come from strangers. This was the man I had loved for so many years.

My soul drifted back to Maddox's side once more.

I could not move on—not until I saw with my own eyes what happened to the man who had killed me.

Maddox was storming into Cecilia's apartment. Or

  • Took My Kidney for His Love   Chapter 1

    I had died on the cold operating table. I watched as Maddox Jagger carefully cradled my kidney and turned away, heading straight to Cecilia Rodgers' operating room. He did not even spare me a final glance.Tears slipped from the corners of my eyes as my vital signs faded away completely.My soul trailed after Maddox as he paced anxiously in the hospital hallway, his eyes fixed on the light above Cecilia’s operating room. The moment it flickered off and the doctor stepped out, Maddox lunged forward like a man possessed."How is she?"The doctor removed his mask and nodded, looking somewhat relieved as he said, "The surgery was a success. Fortunately, the kidney arrived in time."Only then did Maddox exhale in relief. Behind him, a nurse's panicked voice suddenly rang out."Dr. Jagger, about Ms. Rhea Simpson… She suffered massive chest bleeding during surgery. We couldn't save her."Her voice trembled as she said these words.Maddox's expression changed instantly. He pointed at t

  • Took My Kidney for His Love   Chapter 2

    I always knew that Cecilia was special to Maddox. I was nothing more than her stand-in. After three years of holding onto Maddox, it was only right that I returned him to her.Maddox had lost his mind when Cecilia left the country. He desperately went searching for women who resembled her.I was the one who looked most like Cecilia, as well as the most obedient and the most understanding. After countless days and nights of unwavering devotion, Maddox reluctantly chose me to be his wife.I overheard him talking to his friends on the eve of our wedding. He said, "If I can't marry Cecilia, then it doesn't matter who I marry."At that moment, I was standing right outside the door, but I did not even have the right to be upset.I loved Maddox so much that I lost myself. The idea of him not loving me was painful, but the thought of losing him was unbearable.Yet, Cecilia called him on our wedding day, and Maddox walked out without hesitation, leaving me alone in the grand wedding hall,

  • Took My Kidney for His Love   Chapter 3

    Cecilia got to stay in a luxurious VIP hospital room, while I had been crammed into a shared five-person ward. The air was thick with an unbearable stench, and the constant noise sent my heart into palpitations.At the time, I called Maddox, hoping he would move me to a quieter room. It did not have to be VIP—just somewhere more peaceful.However, he only sneered over the phone."Addicted to putting on a show, aren't you? Always competing with Cece for attention. If you want to keep playing the sympathy card, go ahead."Just so you know, I put you there on purpose. There's plenty of infectious diseases in that ward—if you're not afraid to die, then just stay there."A chill ran down my spine as he spoke of infectious diseases and death. The words felt foreign yet terrifying.However, I was too weak to move, my body tangled in tubes and wires. Even the nurses and doctors had been ordered by Maddox to treat me with deliberate neglect.They deliberately missed my veins, stabbing me

  • Took My Kidney for His Love   Chapter 4

    Maddox, who was always busy with work, did something unheard of—he spent the entire afternoon with Cecilia. He even ignored every call that came in.Only Cecilia could receive this kind of treatment. When we went out for our anniversary, he could not even sit long enough to warm the seat before taking a call and leaving without a word.I supposed the favored always acted with impunity.Maddox kept finding ways to make Cecilia laugh. The man who was always silent and indifferent around me suddenly became a chatterbox.As the sky darkened, his patience started wearing thin. He kept glancing at his watch over and over.By the time night had completely fallen and I still had not appeared, Maddox lost his temper.He called me repeatedly, but no one answered. Frustrated, he sent a furious voice message."Rhea, you've truly gotten bold, haven't you? How hard is it to do something so simple? Cece is in the hospital because of you—you cannot just walk away from this!"Don't forget whose

  • Took My Kidney for His Love   Chapter 5

    Maddox suddenly grabbed the doctor by the shoulders."Where is Rhea's body? I need to see it with my own eyes!"The doctor flinched, startled by his intensity."Ms. Simpson's mother took her body and had her cremated. She could not afford a funeral for her daughter as she also needed expensive medication."That's why, despite her age and illness, she took a job as a janitor at the hospital."Maddox collapsed onto the floor. The doctor handed him the consent form for surgery."Sign here."Moving like a machine, Maddox signed his name before leaning against the wall. He stared blankly into the distance, unable to process it all.The doctor hesitated, then took a few steps away before turning back and saying, almost offhandedly,"Oh, right… Dr. Jagger, if you hadn't barged into the operating room to take Ms. Simpson's kidney, she wouldn't have been infected. She surely wouldn't have died."With that, the doctor left.Maddox's arms fell limply to his sides as he let out a bitter

  • Took My Kidney for His Love   Chapter 6

    Maddox did not leave. Instead, he stayed outside my mother's operating room, pacing anxiously.As time ticked by, he rubbed his sweaty palms together.I waited as well, but I kept my distance. Being anywhere near Maddox now made the air feel suffocating.It was not until the early hours of the next morning that my mother was finally wheeled out. Maddox immediately got up and rushed forward.She was still unconscious."How's my mom?"It was the first time I had ever heard Maddox call her "mom". After all, he had always looked down on my family.I was raised by a single mother who had little education. She took on odd jobs, even collected scrap materials, just to support me.We never had much, but she always respected my dreams. She knew I loved to paint, and no matter how hard life was, she was determined to send me to art school. She would have sold everything she owned if it meant giving me that chance.That was how I met Maddox.I used to set up a small stand on the street,

  • Took My Kidney for His Love   Chapter 7

    Maddox hung his head in silence.My mother simply let out a weary sigh in exhaustion."Get out. I don't want to see my daughter's murderer. I know that in this hospital, your power is untouchable. No one will ever testify that you killed her on purpose."But that doesn't mean I won't hate you for the rest of my life."Maddox stiffened and looked up. My mother's frail figure stood firm, unwavering in her hatred. He could only remain silent as he got up and left.She was right. If Maddox had not been the hospital director, my death would have been ruled as medical malpractice, and at least my mother would have received some compensation.However, my mother had no connections, nor background. She must have been drowning in guilt—not only unable to get justice for her daughter but also forced to keep struggling alone in this merciless world.I watched as she lay in her hospital bed, silently crying. Her lips were trembling with whispers."Rhea… I failed you. I couldn't give you a g
