Born As Kidney Donor For My Sister

Maria was completely stunned.

When she regained her composure, she grabbed the intruder by the collar.

“Who the hell do you think you’re bullying?”

Maria, with her tough background, had a ferocity that ordinary people lacked.

This scene even left my brother momentarily speechless.

When he finally came to his senses, he spoke calmly,” Miss, I suggest you show some respect. How I discipline my sister is none of your concern.”

I let out a cold laugh, long used to their double standards, but Maria wasn’t having it. She exploded instantly.

“You’re Sarah’s brother? You must really think highly of yourself.”

“Does Sarah even acknowledge you?”

“Where were you when she was sick?”

“Where were you when she was being harassed online?”

Maria’s anger erupted like a storm.

She flipped Jack over her shoulder, slamming him to the ground.

Her arm locked tightly around his neck.

“You think we’re done here? We haven’t even begun to settle today’s score, and you’re dragging up old grievances. I’m not Sarah; I have no expectations from you. If you are unhappy, let’s deal with it now.”

Maria didn’t hold back.

I wanted to get out of bed and help Maria, but I had no strength left.

Mom, don’t get upset over irrelevant people.”

“Please see our guest out.”

Maria was visibly displeased.

She pressed her lips together, her tone growing cold.” For Sarah’s sake, I’ll let you off this time.”

Jack wanted to say something, but the words died on his lips.

“I’m here to give you Charlotte’s concert tickets. It’s next Friday.”

“What? The same old routine where she gets upset if I don’t go? It’s been seven years of this; isn’t she tired of playing this game?”

I looked at him with indifference, my expression laced with sarcasm.

Every time I tried to skip one of her big moments, Charlotte would always claim she wouldn’t feel well without me there. After all, without me, she’d lose someone to boast about.

But I was truly fed up.

This clearly infuriated Jack.

He exclaimed in anger: “What nonsense are you talking about? Charlotte’s health has never been good, and ever since you came back, how many problems have you caused for her? Don’t you have any sense of guilt?”

“Here’s the ticket. If you don’t show up, don’t blame me for not recognizing you as my sister.”

I chuckled softly and waved him off.

* Goodbye, stranger.”

The room fell silent.

The lady beside us had already retreated into quietude.

And she asked us: “What exactly is your relationship with each other?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Maria answered with a proud tilt of her head, looking away slightly.” Ask her; I don’t know either.”

With some difficulty, I reached out and took Maria’s hand. “She’s my mom.”

Maria smiled, just a little, but I knew she was happy.

Later that night.

I handed the money I had to Maria.

Her expression darkened instantly.

I quickly said, “I’m not trying to distance myself. From now on, I’ll earn the money, and you can take care of me.”

She burst into a bright smile but didn’t reach out to take the money.

She stroked my head, and after a long pause, she said, “I’ll take care of you. No money needed.”

I hesitated for a moment. “But Mom, aren’t you in need of money?”

I recalled the scene when we first met.

Maria had the demeanor of a street tough, but back then, she seemed so lonely, so sad.

I didn’t know what she had been through.

I hadn’t planned to intervene, but the sudden downpour had soaked me to the bone.

I watched as Jack and Charlotte walked by in the distance, feeling a pang of sadness as I bit my lip.

I was helplessly seeking shelter from the rain on the street when she held an umbrella over my head.

In that moment, I felt like I had found a bit of warmth.

I said, “I’ll pay you–would you pretend to be my mom?”
