Chapter 1 She Will Die It was a scorching summer day. Angela Kins wiped away her sweat, pouredthe chicken soup into a thermos, covered it, and made her way to Mercy Hospital. As she reachedthe entrance of the ward, she overheard a conversation between a mother and daughter inside.“Mom, how did I get this illness? If I can’t find a kidney donor soon, I will die. What should I do?” Itwas her adopted sister, Fanny Kins. She was holding the examination report in her hand and burstinto uncontrollable tears. Their mother Scarlet Square, trying to console her, panicked and said,“Joseph is a doctor. He will pay more attention and find a kidney donor for you soon.”
The Joseph Scarlet mentioned was one of Angela’s brothers. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait thatlong, Mom. I’m still young, I have children to raise, and I haven’t properly taken care of you yet, I…”Fanny hesitated, but her meaning was clear—she didn’t want to die. After enduring so muchhardship, there are still good days ahead. How could I die now? She’s having such a serious illnessbut still thinking about filial piety, even more so than my real daughter Angela, thought Scarlet. Shefelt heartbroken. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and her eyes lit up. “Right, Angela has gastric canceranyway, and she is terminally ill. Why not have her donate her kidney? That way, she can finally dosomething for the family.” Fanny got the answer she wanted but still pretended to worry. “But shewon’t agree, and it won’t be easy to explain to the brothers.” Scarlet held Fanny’s hand andreassured her, “Just focus on the surgery. Your brothers love you so much, so they won’t object. Asfor Angela, I have a plan.” Standing at the door, Angela heard the conversation inside and felt as ifshe had been plunged into an icy cave. Over the years, as the newcomer to this family, she hadtried hard to please them, working tirelessly in the family, playing the role of a sycophant to thefullest. But all she received in return was this. When she was ten years old, the Kins Familydiscovered that she and Fanny were switched at birth, so they took her back from the village.Everyone thought her good days were about to begin, and she believed so, too.
However, due to the difference in environment, it was difficult for her to integrate into this family.Angela became cautious and worked hard to please every member of the family. Although shedidn’t gain their recognition, because of her sycophantic nature, she managed to maintain arelatively ‘harmonious’ relationship with the family members. Angela had four older brothers, all ofwhom were outstanding and doted on their younger sister. However, the one being doted on wasnot Angela but the adopted girl, Fanny. Whenever there’s a fight between Fanny and Angela andthe former began crying, the entire family blamed Angela and demanded an apology from her, eventhough it wasn’t her fault in most cases. If Fanny made a mistake, it was all Angela’s fault. If Fannybumped into something, it was all Angela’s doing… Sometimes, Angela even thought that Fannywas the true family member, while she was just an outsider. The Kins Family was one of the first toventure into business in the neighborhood, so their financial situation was quite good.
However, as more and more people entered the business world, the family faced financialdifficulties. It was Angela who worked day and night to solve the financial crisis just to please herfamily. She exhausted herself and even fell ill, but instead of receiving their sympathy, they wishedto take her life. Angela laughed bitterly. She should have realized long ago that no matter how hardshe tried over the years, she could never gain their care, not even a little bit. Her stomach ached,and Angela’s hand trembled, causing the thermos bottle in her hand to fall to the ground,
interrupting the conversation between the mother and daughter inside. Footsteps came from inside,and Angela quickly turned and ran away, but due to the intensifying pain, she couldn’t run fast.Scarlet soon caught up with her at the stairwell. Seeing Angela in unbearable pain, she remainedindifferent and said something that was indeed hurtful. “Angela, listen to me. You don’t have anyattachments or worries. You have been diagnosed with gastric cancer, and your life is coming to anend. But Fanny is different. She has a family and children. You can’t be so heartless and let herdie!” Angela laughed, tears streaming down her face. Her heart shattered into pieces. The womanwould ask her own daughter to sacrifice herself for her foster daughter. The doctor said I havediscovered it early, and with proper treatment, a complete cure is certain, but my own motherwished for my death. And she’s even claiming I’m heartless! How ridiculous! Fanny took everythingthat originally belonged to me. First, she took my parents’ and four brothers’ love, then she seizedmy fiancé and, together with one of my brother Christopher, took away my shares in the company.Now, they wouldn’t even spare my life. Seeing Angela remain silent, Scarlet reached out andgrabbed her hand. Angela, still filled with anger, struggled forcefully but unexpectedly lost herbalance and tumbled down the stairs.
Everything spun, and Angela crashed into the corner of the wall, spitting out blood and graduallylosing consciousness. Scarlet quickly rushed down, her face turning pale with fright. But in the nextmoment, Scarlet’s words struck Angela’s heart harder than the physical pain. Scarlet’s eyesdarkened. “Falling down from such a high staircase, wouldn’t it affect the quality of her kidneys?With so much blood being vomited, she probably won’t survive. That’s good, though. Fanny’s illnesscan be saved.” Hearing these words, Angela stared at Scarlet with wide-open eyes, her hatred andunwillingness making it impossible for her to rest in peace, even in death. … When Angela openedher eyes again, she felt groggy and struggled for a while before finally seeing the scene in front ofher clearly.novelbin
The mottled gray wall was adorned with a red cross, and there was a slightly old table next to thebed. A strong smell of medicine wafted into her nostrils, making her already throbbing head evenheavier and dizzier. Didn’t I fall from the stairs and died? Why am I in the hospital? The red-paintedwooden door was forcefully pushed open, causing the dust on the wall to fall continuously. Then, agroup of people stormed in. One of them was her father, George. He glanced at Angela andquestioned, “Angela, why did you let those bullies harm Fanny? Didn’t you know that your actionscould have endangered her life?”
