In my past life, my husband brought our daughter, who was down with a cold, to his father's hospital so she could see a doctor. Later, she was pronounced dead.

When I hurried to the hospital after hearing the news, he'd already transferred her organs to his true love's son's body.

It was later that I learned my father-in-law was the one who extracted my daughter's organs when her vitals were perfectly fine.

I was heartbroken and devastated. I wanted my husband and his family to give me an explanation for this, but he and his parents killed me by poisoning.

When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the moment my husband has just taken my daughter away.

My mother-in-law's incessant naggings assaulted my ears.

"You're not doing anything when your child's sick. You won't even prepare dinner for us now. Are you planning on bossing the rest of us around like we're your helpers now?"

I was jolted out of my reverie. I quickly checked with Rhonda Olsen, my mother-in-law. "Mom, Elias took Aria to see the doctor in the morning. They're still not back yet?"

Rhonda was irked when she heard those words. She pointed at me and snapped, "So what if they're not home yet? My son took that useless child to see the doctor. You're just staying home doing nothing, yet you dare nitpick about things?"

Upon hearing her response, I swiftly decided to head to the hospital. In my last life, it only took one day for those people to transfer my daughter, Aria Levy's organs into my husband's mistress' son.

I hoped I could still make it in time if I headed to the hospital now.

However, Rhonda grabbed hold of my hand when she saw that I was trying to leave. "Where are you going when you're supposed to start preparing dinner now?"

"Mom, I need to go and take care of something urgent. I won't be having dinner at home today."

Rhonda wouldn't let go of my hand. "You insolent wench, you're obviously trying to slack off! Don't even think about going anywhere today. Go and start cooking dinner in the kitchen now!"

She locked the front door from the inside right away. With the key in her hand, Rhonda trod toward her bedroom.

Without the key, it was impossible to leave the house once the front door was locked from the inside. Moreover, the only key was in Rhonda's possession.

I was really anxious and burst into tears.

"Mom, please let me out of the house now. I really have something urgent to take care of!" I stood outside Rhonda's bedroom and pleaded desperately.

Rhonda seemed intrigued when she saw how desperate I was. It even looked like I was ready to get on my knees and beg if she asked.

She waved the key in her hand and said contemptuously, "Aren't you always so smart and capable? I never thought there would come a day when you had to beg me for something."

"Mom, I'll agree to any of your requests if you just give me the key…"

Rhonda cast me a sideways glance. Then, she said nonchalantly, "Well, it's nothing much. I'm going on a trip with my friends next month. Those ladies will be wearing expensive jewelry during the trip, but I won't have anything to wear—"

"Mom, you want the set of gold jewelry I have, right?" I asked, cutting her off before she could finish. "I'll get it for you right now!"

My parents had given me a set of gold jewelry when I got married. Not only were they made with the finest craftsmanship, but each piece also weighed quite a lot.

Rhonda had been wanting to get her hands on this set of gold jewelry since the day I married into their family. She had tried all sorts of strange ways to hint at me, but I had not once agreed to give her the jewelry set.

This time, I didn't even try to argue as I handed Rhonda the jewelry set right away.

She was so happy that her eyes lit up as soon as she spotted the gold jewelry set. She quickly took the box from me.

Meanwhile, I took the key, unlocked the front door, and rushed to the hospital as fast as I could.

At the hospital, I swiftly spotted my husband, Elias Levy, who was standing at the other end of the corridor.

"Elias, stop right there!" I shouted and ran toward him.

Elias froze for a moment when he saw me, who was panting heavily because of all the running. Then, he glared impatiently at me.

"What were you rushing for? Didn't I tell you to just wait at home? Do you not trust my dad's medical skills?"

My father-in-law, Gabriel Levy, was the deputy director of this pediatric hospital. He was undeniably a skilled and experienced doctor. Still, that wouldn't change the fact that Gabriel was someone with a questionable moral sense.

I didn't want to waste time arguing with Elias. I just grabbed his wrist and asked, "Where's Aria? How is she doing? Take me to her right now!"

Elias yanked free from my grip. "What on earth are you doing showing up here and yelling at me like a madwoman? Dad and I will watch over Aria. You have nothing to worry about, so just go home now!"

I gripped Elias' arm tightly. "I'm not letting you go anywhere until you let me see Aria!"

"Get lost!" Elias kicked me so hard that I fell onto the floor. "You don't get to have a say in our family matters!"

Gabriel came out of his office just then. When he noticed how I was lying on the floor in pain, he frowned and looked at Elias. "Why did you let her come here?"

I tried to ignore the pain as I climbed to my feet and shouted aloud.

"Dad, where is Aria? I'll call the police if you don't let me see her now!"

Gabriel shot a glare at me. "What are you making a fuss for? I'll be frank with you. We didn't manage to revive Aria."

He added, "She had a case of myocarditis and had already stopped breathing. We're currently arranging to make her an organ donor…"

Gabriel looked completely calm as he said those words. It was as though Aria's death was no different than the passing of a household pet.

'They're arranging to make her an organ donor? Ha! Who gave them the right to do that?' I scoffed internally.

"Aria was just down with a bit of cold and fever this morning. There's no way she would die because of that. I want to see Aria! Give her back to me now!"

Elias slapped me across my face so forcefully that it made me spit out a bloodied tooth. The taste of blood filled my mouth almost instantly.

However, he was completely unbothered by how miserable I looked. He looked at me with disgust and said, "Dad examined Aria and made the diagnosis himself! Are you doubting his medical skills now?

"Hurry up and go home now! Stop making a fool of yourself in front of everyone."

After seeing the condition I was in, Gabriel took his phone out and made a call. Then, he instructed Elias, "Hurry and get her out of here. Then, come back here as soon as possible to sign the papers."

"What papers are you signing? Aria is perfectly well and alive! What are you trying to do…" I screamed frantically.

Elias placed his hands on my shoulders and pressed me onto an empty chair. Then, the unexpected happened—his tone had softened.

"Aria is gone now. I'm going to sign the papers so that we can donate her organs. In a way, she'll continue to live on in this world. I know it's hard for you to accept it right away…"

Elias was blabbering on as he tried to console me, but I wasn't listening to what he was saying at all.

"I am her mother. Without my permission, you have no right to donate Aria's organs… Aria is well and alive. What you're doing to her is murder!"

Gabriel couldn't stand it anymore. He pointed at me and yelled furiously, "I'm Aria's biological grandfather! Why would I do anything to harm her?

"I was the one who declared Aria's death after we had failed to revive her earlier. Why are you doing this here now?

"We already have her father's permission to donate her organs! I know you're thinking of making money by selling the child's organs, but our family doesn't need that kind of money!"

After hearing Gabriel's words, the nurses, doctors, and patient's family members who were either passing through or watching the commotion started giving me scornful looks.

"I thought she was sincerely worried about her kid when I saw how anxious she was just now. It turns out she's trying to make money by selling her kid's organs!"

"I pity the kid. Her mom is planning to do something like that to her when she just died not too long ago."

A nurse standing at the side felt like she should say something. "Dr. Levy is widely acknowledged as an experienced practitioner who has the best medical skills in our hospital.

"Sometimes, people have to wait a really long time just to get an appointment with him. How can you slander him like that?"

Following that, the other doctors and nurses voiced out and defended Gabriel. I had no idea whether they were sincere or if they were just trying to use the opportunity to gain Gabriel's favor since he was the deputy director there.

For a moment, the doctors, nurses, and patients' family members directed various harsh criticisms at me. I was suddenly depicted as the evil stepmother who didn't care whether her child was dead or alive and only thought of how to profit from the situation.

Another nurse added, "Madam, please let go of your husband so that he can go and sign the papers. That way, you'll also be helping a patient, giving them a chance to end their suffering. Plus, it'll be the last good deed your daughter could do."

The others agreed with what she said. "Hurry up and let your husband sign the organ donation papers. This isn't the time to be selfish."

Rhonda reached the hospital just then after receiving the call from Gabriel.

She had put on the entire set of gold jewelry that I had given her earlier. She was wearing a pair of gold earrings, a gold necklace, a pair of shiny gold bracelets, and also a gold ring.

As if to flaunt those pieces of jewelry, Rhonda kept her arms raised and her chin high as she walked past the crowd and stopped before me.

"You insolent wench, you caused such a huge commotion the minute you got here! Hurry and follow me home!"

Rhonda didn't treat me any kinder even though she received the gold jewelry set from me. Instead, she screamed frantically when she saw how I was grabbing Elias' arm tightly.

"Oh my, you vile wench! Look at the red marks you've left on my son's arm! How could you be so violent? Let go of him right now… My poor Elias, it must hurt a lot…"

Rhonda used all her might to pry my fingers loose while yelling at me nonstop.

It felt like my fingers would snap at any moment. Still, I endured the pain and refused to let go.

This time, she gave me a hard slap across my red and swollen cheek. "You vile wench, are you still not going to let go? Are you trying to pull off my son's hand?"

Eventually, I was forced to let go of Elias' arm as he and Rhonda worked together to push me away.

After he broke free from my grip, he straightened himself and tried to walk away. I hurriedly went after him.

Unfortunately, I was held back as Rhonda seized hold of my arm. Simultaneously, the onlookers moved to stand in front of me and blocked my way.

I cried furiously, "He's trying to kill my child! All of you are becoming that murderer's accomplices…"

Those people ignored what I said and continued to help Rhonda block my path. I stood no chance of pushing my way through such a big crowd.

A minute went by, then ten… My heart was bleeding…

After half an hour had passed, I slowly sank into the depths of despair.

Yet, I couldn't do anything other than scream hysterically for help.
