The True Heiress Became a Vegetable

: At Their Mercy

When they left, they had the doctor give me a full-body check-up.

All the medicine and nutrient solutions were the best available.

The doctor remarked with a sigh, "To have parents like these... this child is truly blessed."

I sneered inwardly.

'Blessed?'

'They're giving me a full check-up just to see if my kidneys are working properly, aren't they?'

I couldn't open my eyes or move, but I could clearly feel someone drawing my blood.

They changed the vials one after another.

And I could only lie there like a toy, at everyone's mercy.

'Are they really going to take my kidney?'

'To give to Sylvia Vaughn, the sister I've never even met?'

Of course, I wasn't willing.

But I was completely powerless to resist.

Every day, I struggled to open my eyes. I just wanted to see a glimmer of light in this endless darkness.

But it was all in vain.

I couldn't open my eyes, but my hearing, on the other hand, was getting sharper and sharper.

That day, my biological parents came, bringing their son and daughter with them.

They murmured in my ear.

"Raina Shane, this is your sister and brother."

"Mom and Dad have had such a hard life. One daughter is a vegetable, the other has uremia, and we only have our son who is healthy."

"Even though you've been away from us, you're still Mom and Dad's biological daughter, right? You couldn't bear to watch Mom and Dad lose two children at once, could you?"

I wanted to question them.

'So they have to sacrifice the chariot to save the general, and I'm the one being sacrificed?'

'Then I'll die, and they'll have their perfect family of four, a son and a daughter, living happily ever after...?'

Just as they were speaking, the doctor came in for his routine check.

"Sylvie? You're..."

From his tone, I immediately sensed the truth.

This doctor knew Sylvia Vaughn.

In fact... he was Sylvia Vaughn's attending physician!

I couldn't help but panic.

'This doctor... Does he think the same way they do?'

'Would he also go after my kidney for Sylvia Vaughn's sake?'
