The Secret Her Kidney Kept

During my eight-month pregnancy checkup, the doctor told me that the baby in my belly only had one kidney.

Every year since then, I'd take my daughter to the hospital for follow-up examinations.

Today I brought her to the hospital as usual.

The doctor moved the probe back and forth across both sides of my daughter's waist.

"Both kidneys look fine. No issues."

I suddenly sat up straight, staring at the monitor above the machine.

"Doctor, are you sure both kidneys are intact?"

The doctor nodded at me again.

"Good health is a good thing, isn't it?"
