Chapter 1

The day my left eye was finally set to receive a cornea transplant and regain sight, the hospital suddenly informed me that the donor's family had withdrawn their donation.

I was so shocked I fell from the hospital bed and cut my head open.

My sister, Lily, walked in with a smirk on her face.

"Stella, did the hospital just call to cancel your surgery? Hahaha!"

"I told the donor's family you were faking blindness — just as a joke, you know."

My vision blurred as I screamed in despair.

"Why would you do this? Because of your joke, I might never see again!"

My mother, Mary, gently stroked Lily's back and scolded me in a soft voice.

"Could you keep it down? You still have one good eye, don't you? Just wait for the next chance."

Watching their tender mother-daughter scene, I suddenly felt the absurdity of it all had no bounds.

Later, Lily was diagnosed with kidney failure. The whole family went bankrupt waiting for a kidney donor.

Right before she went into surgery, I smiled at the doctor and said.

"Lily told me she's given up on treatment. She wants to give her kidney to the old man in the next bed!"
