Chapter 1

I was always secretly watching him from the corner.

When I learned he had kidney disease, I got tested as a match right away and prayed he would be safe.

When he was finally discharged, he gave me a burning hug, and it was truly warm.

The diary I had hidden on the second shelf of the bookcase was exposed to everyone by his girlfriend.

Ethan Blackwood looked at me with disgust.

“You freak, fantasizing about someone of the same sex. You’re disgusting. Get lost!”

He thought I was filthy, evil, and in need of corrective treatment, so he personally sent me to a conversion center.

My six years scattered with one gust of wind.

The day I left the conversion center, the sun was bright, and someone with dirty blood did not deserve to live in this world.

At my funeral, he held my gravestone and sobbed.

He begged to spend the rest of our lives together in the next life.

This year was the sixth year since we met.

He was the illegitimate son despised by his family.

I was just an orphan.

Even so, we still built an empire, and we even reorganized and acquired the Blackwood family’s shares.

I also became his capable assistant and private secretary.

Mrs. Blackwood praised us for being so close and took me in as her godson, and he became my brother in name.

Ethan Blackwood finally became a business titan.

I thought everything was going smoothly until the physical exam.

He was diagnosed with kidney failure. “You can look into what conditions require a kidney transplant.”

I directed them to do the matching tests and prayed he would be safe.

Maybe God blessed us, because we were not related by blood, but our compatibility was extremely high, so I donated one kidney.

The surgery went smoothly, and there was no rejection.

On the day he was discharged, his eyes were red as he hugged me.

Our bodies were pressed tightly together, and I could smell the clean sandalwood scent on him.

But his girlfriend raised my secret crush diary.

In front of everyone, she read it aloud.

I pressed my lips together, lowered my head, and did not dare look at his reaction.

“Everyone thinks these two are as close as brothers, but Caleb Hayes is a freak!”

“I never thought we could merge together. My kidney inside his body counts as us being inseparable too.”

Ethan’s pupils shook in shock.

The scar on the right side of my waist still throbbed faintly.

His kidney... intimately merged...

All the relatives present frowned and moved away in disgust.

They were afraid of touching the filthy me.

Lily Monroe questioned me with tears in her eyes.

“I finally understand why you didn’t agree to our wedding. This is your reason!”

“No...”

I tried to argue and wanted to snatch the diary back, because it was not like that...

I had always buried this feeling deep in my heart.

She held the diary and dodged backward, deliberately falling down the stairs.

I wanted to pull her back.

I saw the malicious and reckless smile on her face.

She fell heavily onto the stairs, and her forehead hit the handrail, leaving a bruise.

Ethan ran downstairs and picked her up in his arms.

I grabbed his clothes and tried to explain, but I only touched a bit of his skin.

Ethan shoved me away violently.

I hit the stair railing, and my back hurt so badly, but my heart hurt even more.

“You freak, fantasizing about someone of the same sex. You’re disgusting. Get lost!”

He ordered his assistant to send me to a conversion center so they could wash the filthy things out of my brain and blood.

A black car came to take me away.

I watched one heavy, rotten iron gate after another close behind me.

The treating doctor showed me a video.

Ethan proposed to Lily in the hospital room and put a diamond ring on her finger.

The plain and simple hospital room had been decorated beautifully, and the diamond ring on her hand sparkled too.

What a beautiful proposal ceremony.

The image changed, and I saw Ethan wearing a smile that came from the bottom of his heart before he signed his name on the consent form.

Voluntarily accepting treatment.
