"Harley! You have suffered so much over the years. Let us take you for a full body check-up!"
I was stunned and didn't say anything. Then I comforted myself, thinking that it must be because both my foster parents and I made a living by collecting garbage, and they were afraid that I might carry some germs on me.
A strong sense of inferiority arose in my heart immediately.
After a series of physical examinations, the doctor said to Elsie, "Her physical indicators are all normal, but... She was born with one kidney."
Seeing Elsie's expression change drastically, the doctor hurriedly explained, "But you don't have to worry at all. Having one kidney has almost no impact on her body. She just needs to be careful not to stay up late and drink less coke."
After hearing the doctor's words, both Elsie and I breathed a sigh of relief.
However, it was not until later that I learned that Elsie was not worried about my health that day.
She was only worried about whether Eva would still be healthy after she had my kidney.
After we left the hospital, Elsie transferred me 2,000 dollars and asked me to take a taxi home.
"I ... don't know the address of our home yet." I hesitated as I held my phone.
After hearing this, Jack suddenly sneered, "Are you thinking that you're going to our place? Are you dreaming?"
Elsie looked embarrassed. "Our bedrooms are already full. We can't take you back. You should go back to your own home! Don't worry. We will come to you again!"
I stood still until I heard the sound of Elsie closing the car door, which brought me back to reality.
I wiped away the tears, clicked on my phone, and clicked on the chat interface. Then I gently pressed the button to return the money.
It was a week later when I saw Elsie again. This time, they came directly to my school.
I suppressed my expectations and followed the counselor to the office.
Before I even entered the office, I heard Jack angrily scolding. "The hospital said the matching is suitable! The transplant can be done! Why are you still insisting on discussing with that damn girl? Do you wanna see Eva die?"
I knew Eva was the apple of his eye.
When Elsie saw me, she quickly winked at Jack and then came forward to grab my hand with a smile.
"Harley, are you adapting well at school? Did you run out of the money I gave you last time? If so, let us know. We will transfer more to you! Buy whatever you want!"
