A Test of Kinship/Sylvia One
I looked at Mom closely.She had the same eyes and eyebrows as mine, soft palms, and a loving gaze.Once upon a time, that was something I longed for in my dreams. But at this moment, I only felt disgust.I coldly brushed her hand away and gave a glance toward the door.The space by the door cleared, and Frank walked in with Reuben."The hospital director is here! Fire this cold-hearted woman!""Fire her! Fire her! Fire her!"Instantly, the live stream flooded with calls to fire me.Mom pretended to bow to Reuben."Dr. Fisher, please don't fire Jess. She'll donate. I've already talked to her, and she agrees!"My colleagues laughed at her words.Even Frank, with his typically stoic expression, looked utterly stunned.I gave him a helpless glance, then casually pulled out my phone."Who says I'm going to donate?"My words froze Mom in place.The live stream was equally speechless."She's really stubborn as ever. She's not even fazed by the hospital director's presence. We

One comment wrote, "I almost fell for his fake tears earlier. That old man is so biased! Oh, my God!"The video finally shifted to Sarah speaking."Whoever asks for help first is a coward, and may they be struck down by lightning!"The comment section exploded again."Oh, my God, she looks so demure, but she's so venomous!""May they be struck down by lightning? The karma is hitting fast!""No wonder she didn't ask for help herself. Turns out she has sworn! Instant karma! It's so satisfying!"The video continued, showing what happened after I left.The lab report was placed on the envelope, but no one even glanced at it.Samuel tossed it aside like it was trash and handed the envelope to Sarah."Sarah, here's your travel allowance. Enjoy yourself. Don't let her spoil your mood. Come on. Let's eat. The troublemaker left, so let's continue."The atmosphere at the table wasn't as lively as before, but dinner still went on.Mom, though wiping her tears, was still putting food o

This time, the comments in the live stream weren't as quick as the ones in the hallway."Shut up already! Even if you have another child, it won't be the same as before!""Shameless! Why should she sacrifice her child for your daughter?"If it weren't for the security holding them back, people would've rushed in to attack.I pushed Mom aside and continued, "They're right. I only understood later. Even if I have another child, it won't be the same. This child is mine, the one I prayed for. I don't have the right to just kill it."So, I can't donate my bone marrow."I wanted to make everything clear in one go to prevent the Robinsons from going to Reuben and causing more trouble at the hospital.I also wanted public opinion on my side.After I finished speaking, Reuben made his position clear too. He said that if the Robinsons came to him again, he wouldn't hesitate to kick them out of the hospital.With things finally coming to an end, the Robinsons had completely lost all hope

Mom continued, "You know, after you left, I never made barbecue ribs again."The smell of barbecue sauce rushed into my nostrils, instantly bringing back memories of that cold winter when I was four.I felt as helpless, as if I were drowning. My tears fell at once.Mom trembled as she wiped my tears."I admit I was biased, Jess. I raised Sarah for 29 years and only had you for four. I unconsciously treated her better."But Jess, this was my mistake. Don't punish Sarah, please. Considering I raised you for those four years, will you donate your bone marrow to her? I know I was wrong, and I will make it up to you, I swear."I remembered her embrace. I longed for her love. I could never be as heartless as she was to me.In a strange moment of thought, I wondered if I would donate my bone marrow if Sarah could hang on until I had my baby.I never ate the barbecue ribs in the end.I knew I had a dark side.I thought maybe I still wouldn't want to donate the marrow after I had the
