Chapter 1 She Will Die

• "Angela! You must donate a kidney to Fanny!"
• "I finally understand. The heavens had us find you for this very day, to save Fanny!"
• In the dog days of summer, the heat was unbearable.
• Yet Angela Kins was covered in cold sweat.
• Her biological mother wanted her to donate a kidney to Fanny, a foster daughter with no blood relation to the Kins family!
• But donating a kidney now would kill her!
• "Angela, you are diagnosed with stomach cancer anyway, and your life is coming to an end. Why not donate the kidney to your sister?" Angela's mother, Scarlet Square, said carelessly, "It will be a blessing for you to be able to help your sister."
• Fanny is also beside herself with fake tears, ''Angela, please help me，if I can't find a kidney donor soon, I will die."
• Angela's lips trembled and felt as if she had been plunged into an icy cave.
• When she was ten years old, the Kins Family discovered 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 she didn't gain their recognition, because of her sycophantic nature, she managed to maintain a relatively 'harmonious' relationship with the family members.
• Angela had four older brothers, all of whom were outstanding and doted on their younger sister. However, the one being doted on was not Angela but the adopted girl, Fanny.
• Whenever there’s a fight between Fanny and Angela and the former began crying, the entire family blamed Angela and demanded an apology from her, even though it wasn’t her fault in most cases. If Fanny made a mistake, it was all Angela's fault. If Fanny bumped into something, it was all Angela's doing...
• Sometimes, Angela even thought that Fanny was the true family member, while she was just an outsider.
• The Kins Family was one of the first to venture 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 financial difficulties.
• It was Angela who worked day and night to solve the financial crisis just to please her family. She exhausted herself and even fell ill, but instead of receiving their sympathy, they wished to take her life.
• Angela laughed bitterly. She should have realized long ago that no matter how hard she tried over the years, she could never gain their care, not even a little bit.
• Her stomach ached, Angela took a few steps back, her eyes immediately welled up with tears, "Mom, did you ever really think of me as your daughter?"
• "Of course!" Scarlet nodded immediately. "It's because you are my daughter, Fanny's sister, that I made this decision. Angela, we should keep benefits within our own family!"
• What does she mean by 'keep benefits within the own family'?
• They want to exchange my life for Fanny's!
• But why?
• Fanny wants a family, so I have to give up my parents and four brothers.
• Fanny wants a good husband, so I have to hand over my fiancé.
• Now... if Fanny wants to live, does that mean I deserve to die?
• No! I won't agree to this!
• 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 remained indifferent and said something that was indeed hurtful.
• "Angela, listen to me. You don't have any attachments or worries. You have been diagnosed with gastric cancer, and your life is coming to an end. But Fanny is different. She has a family and children. You can't be so heartless and let her die!"
• Angela laughed, tears streaming down her face. Her heart shattered into pieces.
• The woman would ask her own daughter to sacrifice herself for her foster daughter. The doctor said that the gastric cancer had been diagnosed in time, and with proper treatment, a complete cure wascertain, but mymother wished for mydeath.
• And she’s even claiming I’m heartless! How ridiculous!
• Seeing Angela remain silent, Scarlet reached out and grabbed her hand. Angela, still filled with anger, struggled forcefully but unexpectedly lost her balance and tumbled down the stairs.
• Everything spun, and Angela crashed into the corner of the wall, spitting out blood and gradually losing consciousness.
• Scarlet quickly rushed down, her face turning pale with fright.
• But in the next moment, Scarlet's words struck Angela's heart harder than the physical pain.
• Scarlet's eyes darkened. "Falling 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 illness can be saved."
• Hearing these words, Angela stared at Scarlet with wide-open eyes, her hatred and unwillingness making it impossible for her to rest in peace, even in death.
