Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 186 Since You Can't Make a Decision, I'll Help You

"What?" I was floored.

Later, I tagged along with Bella to the law firm and met the girl.

She had a ponytail and looked cute, though she was pretty thin, with that fair skin typical of her age.

She was rocking a white lightweight down jacket, jeans, and white sneakers-totally looked like a college student.

As soon as we walked into the law firm, the girl stood up. She and Bella were checking each other out.

"You don't look anything like Zachary," Bella said.

The girl quickly shot back, "You misunderstood."

We spent the whole afternoon at the law firm, listening to the girl talk about her connection with Zachary.

That's when I found out Zachary wasn't actually from Starlight City.

It reminded me of a chat at the vacation resort, where Ethan had casually mentioned that Zachary didn't seem like a Starlight City native. Guess men's intuition was sharper than women's.

The girl's name was Jennifer Murphy. She grew up in an orphanage and took the surname Murphy from Zachary later on.

Zachary had been sponsoring that orphanage since she was ten. Every kid there knew him and liked him because he always brought tons of gifts whenever he visited.

Jennifer was one of the older kids in the orphanage back then. Besides being a top student, she often helped take care of the younger kids and was super responsible. Zachary frequently bought her books and school supplies, encouraging her to study hard and become someone who could help society in the future.

But life threw a curveball. When Jennifer was thirteen, she was suddenly diagnosed with acute kidney failure, and the only solution was a kidney transplant.

When Zachary heard the news, he didn't hesitate to offer one of his kidneys to Jennifer. After hospital tests, they were a match.

However, the country's donation laws had gotten stricter, requiring certain conditions for living donations.

Jennifer was an orphan and couldn't find any relatives at that time. Should she just wait to die? To save Jennifer, the then 25-year-old Zachary went through the adoption process with her. Technically, Zachary was unmarried and only 25, so adoption was also against the rules. But given the life-and-death situation, the authorities made an exception.

Zachary donated his kidney to Jennifer, successfully saving her. Jennifer, through her own efforts, got into medical school, hoping to save more people with her own hands in the future and pass on this love.

After hearing Jennifer's story, Bella said, "I did see a surgical scar on his abdomen. When I asked him, he just said it was from an appendectomy. I've had one too, and the scar is nowhere near as long as his, but I didn't push it at the time." Jennifer also mentioned that after the kidney donation surgery, Zachary signed a body donation agreement, hoping to donate his body to save lives and support medical research in the future.

In that area, people weren't really aware of organ and body donation, so Zachary was the first person there to donate his body.

Hearing this, Leonn Little got really excited.

He said, "Even nationwide, body donations are rare. Making such a decision shows a great sense of contribution and social responsibility. These materials are very important and could potentially help reduce Mr. Murphy's sentence." Hearing Leon say this, we all felt a wave of relief.

Bella immediately grabbed Jennifer's hand, her eyes shining. "Jennifer, thank you!"
