Born As Kidney Donor For My Sister Novel by BEIJITA
Chapter 18

Liam dropped me off at Elijah’s house.

Since my hearing aid needed charging, it had a specific connector.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Elijah slumped on the sofa, looking dejected. His eyes, vacant at first, flickered with some life when he saw me.

“Ashie, where did you go last night? Liam didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

His face was haggard, and the concern in his eyes made me wonder if any of it was genuine.

I stared at him coldly and said, “Elijah, I had a great time with Liam last night!”

He looked taken aback. The worry on his face was quickly replaced by forced composure as he managed a strained smile.

“Ashie, that’s not a funny joke.”

I kept my gaze fixed on his face, not wanting to miss any nuance, even the slightest.

“He didn’t mind that I’m deaf.”

He laughed in disbelief, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. “Ashie, you know as well as I do that the Terry family and the Osborne family are rivals. Why would he talk to Mrs. Terry?”

I didn’t answer him and simply said, “He said I… am beautiful!”

He was stunned, and I chose not to engage further. Instead, I went to my room to pack my things.

Seeing me drag out my suitcase, he realized I wasn’t joking.

As I passed by him, he suddenly grabbed my suitcase and shoved it aside.

The suitcase hit the ground with a thud.

He could no longer hide his disdain and impatience, his voice tinged with irritation.

“Ashie.”

“It was just a few words.”

“I only said it casually.”

“Can’t you just pretend you never heard it?”

Act like I’ve never heard it? I couldn’t help but laugh.

How dare he say such things?

I said, “Elijah, I’m deaf, but I’m not stupid!”

“Never heard it? Haha, I really can’t convince myself of that.”

He came forward and hugged me tightly, breathing heavily in my ear.

“Ashie, I was really afraid you might be with Liam yesterday.”

“I thought you might never come back.”

“Ashie, those words weren’t from my heart…”

His voice grew hoarse and choked:

“Yesterday, when I heard you say you wanted a divorce, I was really scared…”

“Please forgive me this time, okay?”

“I promised I wouldn’t abandon you. Are you going to abandon me first? I can’t live without you!”

As I listened to him, I couldn’t tell if it was sincere.

But it all seemed absurdly laughable.

The mocking words he used when talking to Hallie echoed in my mind.

I could even remember the tone.

I pushed him away, looked up at his refined face, and couldn’t help but smile:

“Elijah, but I really can’t forget…”

As I spoke, tears began to fall.

Those few words had already become sharp daggers, accurately stabbing into my heart, still twisting inside.

I wiped away my tears and looked at him without warmth.

“Elijah, let me go, and I’ll let you go.”

“Let’s consider it a mutual release.”

“You can go pursue the bright and proud red rose of your heart…”

His eyes were red, and he seemed at a loss for

words.

“Ashie, are you really going to do this to me?”

“Can you truly be so heartless as to divorce me?”

“Give me one more chance, please?”

The last plea came in a desperate whisper.

gave a cold smile. “Elijah, let’s part ways amicably.”

With that, I didn’t look back. I bent down to lift my suitcase and walked away without a second glance.
