Laila and I were twins, but ever since we were kids, she’d always resented me. 

She hated sharing her things with me. So she stole our parents’ attention, my toys, my dresses—even though she had the exact same ones. 

She wanted anything I laid my eyes on. 

Back then, Mom and Dad treated us equally. I had everything Laila had, and they often lectured her for taking my things. 

But since what had happened five years ago, they poured all their heart and soul into Laila. They thought I was selfish for not visiting Dad when he was hospitalized. 

So whenever we got into an argument after that, they always took Laila’s side. 

“How could you bully your sister?” was what they often told me. 

After feuding with her for so many years, I was indeed the one who lost. I could no longer be at odds with her anymore. 

“Yeah, you won,” I said softly. 

The kidney transplant surgery would take place in two hours, and I was about to die. 

Given how deep the wolfsbane was already in my system, my soul would also be shattered by the time the Dragonbone scalpel sliced open my body. 

What would be left was only my lifeless body. 

By then, would Mom, Dad, and Simon weep for me? 

Perhaps not. For an eyesore like me to leave, they’d probably be overjoyed. After all, Laila was the apple of their eye. 

Before surgery, Mom, Dad, and Simon huddled around Laila, comforting and encouraging her. 

“Laila, don’t be scared. We’ll be waiting for you outside,” Dad said in a tone so gentle that I’d never heard before. “The surgery will definitely be successful. You’ll become healthy in no time.” 

“After your recovery, I’ll make you your favorite dishes,” Mom chimed in lovingly. 

Simon suddenly pulled out a dazzling moonstone necklace. “I bought the necklace you fancied at the auction last time. After the surgery, I’ll put it on for you!” 

They were all so focused on Laila that none of them remembered that I was also about to undergo surgery. 

I thought I was used to being neglected. But as I neared the end of my life, the sight before me still broke my heart. 

I couldn’t help but blurt my thoughts, “Would you be sad if I died during surgery?” 

Mom and Dad were stunned. As if they only recalled my existence now, diffidence flickered across their faces. 

But once Mom heard what I said, she snapped, “What nonsense are you talking about? It’s just a simple kidney transplant surgery. Stop jinxing yourself!” 

Dad also shot me a disapproving glance. “Don’t say that! How could you curse yourself like that? Get sufficient rest after the surgery, and you’ll recover in no time. After all, you’re much stronger than Laila.” 

“I’ll cook you a seafood feast after the surgery’s over. You love seafood, don’t you?” 

Gazing at me affectionately, Simon held my hand and said, “Don’t worry. I hired the best healer to perform the surgery. You’ll definitely be fine. Once it’s over, I’ll buy whatever you want for you.” 

Bile rose in my throat. He bought Laila’s favorite necklace in advance, yet when it came to me, he’d only make such empty promises. 

I bet he’d be delighted after I was gone. He could finally be with Laila. 

My gaze lingered on Mom, Dad, and Simon before I entered the operating room. 

When the Dragonbone scalpel sliced open my skin, the last shred of healing ability I had was completely destroyed. The wolfsbane gnawed at my bones and tore my soul apart. 

I stopped breathing entirely as I reached the end of my life. 

The moment before I took my final breath, I wondered if Dad would weep for me if he found out I was the one who donated my kidney to him five years ago, and it was Laila who took the credit. Would he feel bad for me, who was always on the receiving end of Laila’s slandering and bullying? 

Would Mom and Dad ever regret looking down on me? 

It didn’t matter. Even if they would, I wouldn’t be around to see it. 

If there were a next life, I never ever wanted to meet them again.
