Melody was at home celebrating her childhood sweetheart Levi's birthday. To prevent me from interrupting them, she deliberately called to trick me and our daughter into going to a ski resort thirty miles away.
Heavy snowfall blocked the mountain roads, and I froze to death there.
On the day she regained her sight, she finally remembered that I had been tricked into going to the ski resort.
"Still throwing a tantrum with me, what a big man with such a small heart."
Later, when Levi was in a car accident and needed Rh-negative blood, she began desperately searching for me.
She even drained our daughter's blood to save her childhood sweetheart.
Our daughter, barely clinging to life, held her hand and said:
"Mom, Dad died a long time ago. Your cornea was donated by him!"

Donating a Cornea to My Wife

She froze for a moment, her legs going weak.


If it weren't for the staff member supporting her, she would have fainted right then and there.


Melody suddenly fell to her knees in front of the headstone. "Is this really Rylan? Is it truly Rylan?"


The staff member looked puzzled. "Yes, it's Rylan. He was a victim of the ski resort avalanche incident. After he passed, he donated his corneas and was brought here by the hospital."


"On the day of the funeral, only his daughter showed up. Poor thing, she was."


Melody wiped away her tears, stubbornly rubbing at the photo on the headstone.


"It can't be. How could Rylan be dead?" Melody wailed, her heart breaking. "It's me. I'm the one who got Rylan killed. It's all my fault."


She completely lost her usual composure, sitting on the ground and sobbing.


The staff member handed her a tissue. "Excuse me, but what was your relationship with this gentleman?"
