“Mrs. Sinclair, we’ve already spoken to the specialists, and the surgery is set to begin in two weeks, the doctor replied.

Yolanda lowered her lashes and spoke softly, “Tve found a new donor. Since the surgery won’t happen for another two weeks, there’s no need to cut in line for someone else’s kidney.”
