The first time I met Charles was when I went to deliver money to Selena.
She had been admitted to college as a dance major, but she couldn’t handle the hardship. Her exam results were always at the bottom of the list, so she wanted to change her major
painting.
With no foundation, she had to hire a tutor, which all cost money.
During those years, all my money was drained by her, and she still thought I gave too little.
God knew I hadn’t bought new clothes for two years for her sake.

Yet she looked down on me for being poor and wouldn’t even let me into her dormitory, insisting that I waited for her at the school gate.
One day, I happened to go to deliver money to her. Selena disdainfully took it, counted it, and happily put it into her newly bought bag.
Charles happened to pass by and greeted Selena. Selena reluctantly introduced me as her
sister.
Charles didn’t disdain me like Selena’s
roommate did; instead, He invited me to dinner.
Selena had no choice but to bring me along, while sarcastically advising me to pay more attention to my appearance and not to look like a low–class pig.

Charles asked Selena what she wanted to eat,
and she chose Western cuisine.
It was a place I had never been to before. The only thing I could show off was my relatively fluent English, yet I was still scrutinized by the
waiter with a look of disdain.
I was very nervous using a knife and fork for the first time, making a scraping noise as I cut the
food. Besides, Selena mocked me.
Charles came to my rescue, thoughtfully cutting my steak for me.
I thought he was different from others who looked down on me.
He seemed like a kind person.

Later, I found that Selena was unreliable. While saving money and self–studying, I eventually got admitted to college. When I met Charles, and he heard I got into college, he treated me to an ice cream, which was the best I had ever had.
After Selena graduated, she went abroad. Charles started to give up on himself. I encouraged him all the time, and when I learned that his research was going to be Greent down due to lack of funding, I helped him find sponsors to support his work.
When I became a sales manager, he also became a chief physician and proposed to me.
I thought I had finally moved him, but it turned out he only saw me as a substitute for Selena. Now, he almost took my life for Selena.

I left the intensive care unit and moved to a general ward three days later.
During these three days, Charles had never appeared, nor had my parents.
After I had completed my “task,” I was abandoned by everyone.
The nurse who had previously defended me said that Charles had been by Selena’s side the
entire time, without sleeping for several days.
The first thing I did when I returned to the general ward to collect my personal belongings. was to report to the police that my organs had been illegally removed. The police arrived quickly, and so did Charles.

Just after I completed my statement, Charles came in, looking displeased, and said to the police, “You’ve got it wrong.I’m Morita’s guardian and have the right to sign on her
behalf.”
My lips trembled and I slowly said, “But I never agreed to donate my liver.”
Charles frowned at me and said, “Morita, stop causing trouble. I know the surgery is painful, but you shouldn’t lie like this.”
My parents also ran in, starting to make a scene, accusing me of calling the police out of frustration and scolding me for being
inconsiderate
“We are a family. How could we harm my wife?” Charles said to the police. “I’m sorry for the

trouble. Please drop the case.”
The police looked at me and asked, “Do you agree to withdraw the case?”
Before I could answer, my parents grabbed my hand, shaking it and insisting that I withdraw the case.
I was in so much pain that I wanted to speak but couldn’t.
The female officer suddenly shouted, “Can’t you see the patient is uncomfortable? What’s wrong with you?”
Hearing her voice, my parents awkwardly released me.
They went to plead with the male officer to

withdraw the case.
The female officer comforted me, “Are you okay?”
I shook my head.
She suddenly slipped something into my hand.
“Call me if you need anything once you’re feeling better,” the female officer said firmly.
I had a lump in my throat, surprised that a stranger had given me a sense of security.
“Thank you,” I whispered in a hoarse voice.
My parents sent the police away.
Charles, however, did not leave immediately.

He stood by my bed, apologizing, saying he was sorry and that he would compensate me in the future.
I closed my eyes and ignored him.
His apologies were just crocodile tears.
I was fortunate not to have died on the
operating table, but if I had, I doubt he would have thought of me.
