Stealing My Father's Heart The Cost of a Monster's Life

My mother loved one person above all else: her husband's younger brother.

To save Julian, my father and I were merely collateral damage.

Ten years ago, Julian’s heart was failing. My mother drugged my father.

She strapped him to an operating table in an underground clinic and forcibly harvested his heart, buying Julian another ten years of life.

That very night, I ran away from home and buried myself in medicine.

I graduated top of the country and joined the National Institute of Cardiovascular Research.

Ten years later, I developed the world’s first total artificial heart.
