When I learned my husband only had three years left to live, I mustered the courage to have his child, a precious embodiment of our love.
Little did I know that on the very day I successfully became pregnant, I'd be kidnapped on my way home.
After being tortured for three days and nights by those people, I was placed on an operating table.
In my darkest moment of despair, I overheard my husband's voice along with a doctor's at the door:
"Mr. Harrington, do you really want to take your wife's kidney? Everyone in our circles knows how much you love each other. Do you truly intend to do this to her?"
My husband's voice was strained, but he finally said, "Melody has me to take care of her. Even if her kidney is removed, it won't affect much. But Vivienne can't afford that - if her kidney is taken, she'll be chronically ill or even die. Once Melody bears all this instead of Vivienne, I will double down on her in the future!"
I was thunderstruck.
As the doctor entered, I closed my eyes in utter despair.

After I got pregnant, my husband took my organs

He trembled as he stood up, repeatedly rubbing his eyes, doubting if it was just his imagination.


Draven lunged forward, trying to embrace me, but I pushed him away.


"I'm not here for a reunion. I'm just here on someone's behalf. Can you please keep your hands to yourself?"


Just being able to see me again was already an unimaginable blessing for Draven. Naturally, he'd do whatever I said. He obediently stepped back, nodding repeatedly, "Okay, whatever Melody says is fine. Melody, I've missed you so much. Can you forgive me?"


Draven was stunned, then started to panic, "I, I avenged you, really. I punished everyone involved. I've done so much. Can you forgive me? Just say you forgive me."


He was panicked and helpless, like a pitiful child, as if my single word could determine his life or death.


As if he truly loved me to his very core.


"Melody..." Draven looked at me, like a lost and helpless big dog.
