Chapter 1

Chapter 1

The day Alexander Morgan received the Global Humanitarian Award.

I had just been given a death sentence by my doctors – I couldn’t afford another artificial heart replacement.

On TV, the host asked Alexander to call the person he regretted losing most. Without hesitation, he dialed my number.

When I answered, I heard him ask: “Do you regret leaving me for money back then?”

Looking at the astronomical bill for my artificial heart replacement, I let out a soft laugh. “Since you’re swimming in billions now, Alexander, any chance you could spot me $200K?”

The line went dead. On TV, I watched his cold expression as he said: “I have no regrets

anymore.”

What he never knew was that years ago, when his heart was failing, I had secretly arranged to give him mine.

Shortly after the broadcast ended, I received a $200,000 transfer from Alexander. I froze for a moment, my feelings complicated.

After paying the medical bills, I heard a familiar voice outside my hospital room. Through the door crack, I saw Alexander’s silhouette. Seven years hadn’t left a single mark on him. The only difference was the person by his side it was no longer me.

Fresh from the awards ceremony, still in his formal wear, he had rushed to the hospital. His girlfriend Emily had a slight stomach ache. I watched as he held her lovingly in his arms.

I lowered my head, attempting to quietly close the door without being noticed. Alexander yanked it open. Startled, I looked up, meeting his gaze.
