Sarah started crying again. “Chloe, you know
your best friend is a doctor. I can only save lives.”
“Why do you think I came back? Because I
found a heart for you! Or I wouldn’t even do this surgery! You need to live, or your mom will not forgive you. It’s that jerk that deserves to die.”
Sarah told me about the donor’s mother. The picture looked similar to my mom when she was young. Her name was Tiffany, like the other one. She was a vegetable because of a car crash. A few days ago she woke up and said, “Mom, I’ve been asleep for too long. I want to leave. Please donate my heart to those who need it, and let them live for me.” She fell unconscious again after that.
Her mother, although heartbroken, didn’t want to see her suffer, so she followed her last will.
I stared at the picture, the tears wouldn’t stop.
Was that her? Did she come back?
A few months went by, and I was doing great.
Sarah always regretted that she couldn’t get
back in time. I told her that it was fate, and that
it was too late to save my mom.
She said her time as a volunteer was over, and she wanted to stay in the country. This place was beautiful, but it was too underdeveloped. She wanted to help the locals.
Tiffany’s mom also lived here. She owned an art studio. She asked if I wanted to join her after knowing my background. I said yes.
My body was doing much better now. My mind
was finally at peace. The scars on my chest were a constant reminder of what had happened.
While I was living my life, Jake was searching for me like a madman. Because Sarah told the
<
hospital not to tell Liam, they couldn’t find me.
He couldn’t go to the hospital, and he wouldn’t
go out. He was always drinking. His mother
called him every day begging him to get himself
together, but he wouldn’t listen.
Then, he saw a familiar face in the news…
Jake was so excited. He was ready to leave
when he ran into Tiffany.
Tiffany told him, “Uncle, haven’t you found
Chloe yet? Maybe she is dead. Why torture
yourself? There are so many other women that
care for you, like me…”
“Shut up, you are an idiot! Chloe won’t die!”
“I… I am just worried about you…”
Jake grabbed her neck. He said in a frightening
tone. “Worried about me? You are the one who
<
made me lose Chloe!”
“Uncle, what are you talking about? I… I don’t
know…”
Jake started laughing. “Still acting huh?”
