Chapter 13
Mark grabbed my legs and cried. “Ashley,
you’re not like this. I know you. You have a
heart of gold. You wouldn’t let me die.”
“I told you I said those things because I didn’t
want you to get hurt! Please help me I’m
want you to get hurt! Please help me. I’m
begging you.”
I narrowed my eyes. “Mark, your mom and
Jessica can donate. Why do you need me? They’re a better match and more willing to
donate.”
Mark stammered, but he continued. “My mom wants to, but she got a checkup and found
out she’s sick! She really cannot donate!”
“Jessica and I are not close. I can’t let her
save my life. You’re the love of my life. I only
want your kidney.”
I shook my head. “No. I’ve decided not to
donate.”
Mark looked shocked. “Why? What did I do
wrong? Don’t you have a heart?”
“Why don’t you just say it? I’m going to
donate! You wanted me to beg? I am begging
you!”
I sighed. “You’re right. I wanted to give it to
く
you. Even when I said I wanted to break up, I
wanted to give you my kidney, even after
everything.”
