The Donor's Trick

Soon after, Amelia unexpectedly received a call.

It came from Emma. On a whim, Amelia agreed to the meeting.

In the VIP ward, Emma's face looked pale. Her gaze toward Amelia held no hostility. Instead, it carried a kind of pity.

"Miss Fuller, you came." Emma's voice stayed light. "I always knew you existed." "Jeffrey... he struggled. For me, he had to deceive you. Only your kidney could save me."

Though Amelia already knew the truth in her heart, hearing this cruel reality aloud still made her feel dizzy.

Emma looked at Amelia with complex eyes that held a victor's gloat. "He promised me it was just temporary... Once he got the kidney and cured me, he would return to my side. Miss Fuller, these have been five hard years for you."

So she knew everything.

She knew about Jeffrey's deception and pitied this fool from a superior stance.

Immense humiliation flooded Amelia instantly.

But she did not explode. She forced herself to calm down. "Too bad I already knew the truth, Miss Foster. Unfortunately, we marry soon. I'll stand by his side legitimately."

"You!" Emma clicked her tongue and glared at her viciously.

But the next second, she seemed to think of something. She calmed down gradually.

Before Amelia could react, Emma ripped off the IV needle from her hand. Then she pulled out the nasogastric tube that kept her alive!

Blood surged from her hand instantly. The monitor blared urgent alarms.

At that moment, the ward door crashed open!

"Emma!" Jeffrey rushed in. His buddy Caiden followed close.

"Amelia, what the hell are you doing to Emma?" Caiden roared at her.

Jeffrey tightly hugged the weak, trembling Emma in his arms. He hit the call bell.

When he looked up again, the gentle eyes that once gazed at Amelia held only raging fury.

Amelia stood stunned in place. She knew Jeffrey trusted her far less than Emma. So she did not explain.

In his fury, Jeffrey exhausted his last patience. He ordered men to restrain Amelia directly.

He held the prepared organ donation agreement and walked to her. "Amelia, if you stayed smarter and pretended ignorance, we could have a future. But you never should have hurt Emma! I want this signed in five minutes."

Amelia smiled bitterly. Now she couldn't do anything.

After signing quickly, men forced her into a hospital gown and wheeled her into the operating room.

Through the glass, Jeffrey stood in the observation area. He stared fixedly at her on the table.

Surgery began.

But minutes later, the lead surgeon Alex paused. He looked up in horror and said to Jeffrey. "Mr., Mr. Moss! She... Her left kidney is, is missing! There's an old removal scar! Amelia... She only had one kidney all along!"

"What?" Jeffrey felt struck by lightning!

Almost at the same time, the monitor on the table let out a long beep!

Amelia's ECG turned into a flat line!

Alex performed futile resuscitation right away.

Finally, Alex announced the time of death with a trembling voice!

A white sheet slowly covered Amelia's pale face.

Jeffrey slumped on the cold floor. He watched Amelia die on the table. His mind went blank.

While everyone drowned in the chaos of Amelia's death, no one noticed a masked caregiver. She pushed a cart for medical waste and slipped out of the hospital quietly.

This person got into a black sedan waiting outside.

The caregiver in the car removed the mask. Amelia's calm face appeared.

Half an hour later, Amelia stood on the airport jet bridge. She glanced back at the place where she had lived for over twenty years.

Finally, she boarded the rescheduled flight without hesitation.
