As Frost Melted, So Did LoveChapter 1

After my son, Damon Atwood, was diagnosed with uremia, I decided without hesitation to donate one of my kidneys. My husband, Nicholas Atwood, was kidnapped right after the surgery. To save him, I was forced to film sex tapes with many men and have them broadcast live on the Internet.

Once the sex tapes were posted, people started calling me a ‘slut’. From then on, I was mocked and insulted again and again. Even the company my mother left me kicked me out.

In my darkest moment, it was Nicholas and Damon who held me tightly, telling me they would never leave me, no matter what. I was deeply moved. After that, I gave my whole heart to care for them.

Five years later, I went to pick up Damon from school without telling him. But by accident, I heard him talking to Nicholas.

“Dad, I’m glad I pretended to be sick and asked the doctor to give Mom’s kidney to Aunt Abigail. She’s healthy now and I’m really happy!”

“It’s just that ... the videos you asked someone to take so the company could be transferred to Aunt Abigail ... my classmates still laugh at Mom and call her a slut.”

Nicholas sighed, patted Damon’s shoulder and comforted him.
