Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1104

The doctor said, "If we're talking about her injuries, then no, that's not a huge problem at all. Our main concern here is the patient's missing organ." "What?" Angeline was beyond astounded.

Zayne lowered his head, looking guilty.

Angeline asked in a quivering voice, "What's missing?"

"Her kidney."

Angeline stared blankly at Zayne. When she saw tears welling up in his eyes, Angeline knew what was going on.

She waved the doctor away. "I got it. You can go now."

The doctor stepped back reverently.

Angeline questioned Zayne, "Where's Big Sis' kidney, Zayne?"

Tears were gushing down from Zayne's eyes as he pointed at his waist. "It's with me."

Angeline looked incredulously at him. She once speculated that something was wrong with Zayne's body yet had never expected it to be such severe trauma.

"What about yours?" Angeline asked in a choking

voice.

Zayne looked at Angeline with pleading eyes. "Stop asking, Sis. I beg you."

Angeline was already in tears. "It's with Josephine, right?"

Zayne's eyes widened in horror. "How... How did you know?"

Angeline said, "Josephine told me that she went into a coma after she was bullied, and when she woke up, it was already 20 days later. You once said that you risked your life to bring Josephine back to life, hoping that she'll keep on living."

Zayne burst into tears. He covered his face with his hands and wiped away his tears.

"You know what, Angeline? I've been living with this mask for so long that I've almost forgotten what I look like under the mask. I don't remember how I used to look like when I fought so hard for love when I was young and frivolous."

Angeline felt as though she was breaking down emotionally. "You still love Josephine, don't you, Zayne?"

Zayne shook his head in agony. "I don't know."

Angeline cried aloud and accused him. "If you love her, then why did you let go? Since both of you are so deeply and foolishly in love with each other, why did you let go?"

Zayne was choking through his sobs. "At first, I thought I wouldn't live much longer after losing a kidney because my other kidney wasn't doing so well.

I didn't want to offer myself to her when I have such a short lifespan.

"Later, Master Ares found a suitable kidney for me, but Shirley was already terminally ill. If I took her healthy kidney away, she would live in pain for the remaining days of her life. I didn't want to accept her kidney at first, but Shirley managed to convince me eventually, so I ended up accepting her kidney."

Zayne spoke incoherently, "I can't be so selfish, Angeline. I can't bring myself to accept the gift of an angel and watch her struggle in the abyss of suffering. That's why I brought Shirley home. I want to give her the last and final love and care she deserves."

Angeline was so astonished that her body started shaking violently. As if stepping on a ball of cotton, she felt as though her body had turned soft all of a sudden, like she was going to collapse at any moment. Zayne was so overwhelmed by grief at this moment that he did not notice Angeline's abnormality. He continued to mutter to himself, "The doctor said that Shirley will live for two more years, at most. Since I've decided to give Shirley a home, I'm responsible to shower her with all the love and care she deserves."

When Angeline was finally able to steady her body, she said, "You did the right thing, Zayne. The Severe family owes Big Sis too much."

At this moment, Angeline finally understood why Shirley was willing to sacrifice herself by staying in the Severe family's kitchen all these years. She was not in a condition to go out and look for a job.

Now, it was too late for regrets. If she had known that Shirley was in such poor health, then she would not have wasted so much time and would have instead kept her company.

Fate brought them together, yet what came with it was the helplessness that fatalism brought.
