My Parents Stole My Kidney,Now the Hospital CEO Couple Is Going to PrisonChapter 1
My parents always told me we were poor. If I ever got sick, I'd just have to wait to die.
So when I was diagnosed with kidney failure, I didn't dare tell them I wanted treatment.
I rented a dingy basement room by myself. Deliveries by day. Dialysis by night.
Three years passed like that—until the hospital called to say they'd finally found a kidney match for me.
I gathered my courage and the three hundred thousand dollars I'd scraped together, ready to tell my parents about my illness and the surgery.
But outside their run-down apartment complex, I watched them climb into a luxury car and head straight to the hospital where I'd been getting treatment.
The whole way there, doctors addressed them with deference. Director Swanson. Director James.
My mind went blank. I followed like a corpse on strings.
Outside a lavish office, I heard their voices—familiar, yet cold as strangers.
"Push Penelope Swanson's surgery back. Give the kidney to that girl from the countryside."
"We both work at this hospital. We have to avoid any appearance of favoritism..."
