Natalie’s legs suddenly felt wobbly. The next second, she slumped to the floor.

A painful lump went up to her throat. She wanted to break down in tears, but something plagued her mind. A voice in her head told her that there was more to the incident than the hospital was telling her. Something smelled fishy.

She rushed out and went straight to the hospital.

“Doctor, please can I meet the patient who previously wanted to donate a liver to Hannah Stone?” Natalie asked the doctor nervously.

“Ma’am, I’m sorry. It’s illegal to reveal any information of our patients or a potential donor who had a change of heart. The patient has every right to decide to continue receiving treatment. We have no right to interfere. I can’t be of help to you. Please you need to leave now. I’ve other people to attend to.”

The doctor stared at Natalie with a serious expression on his face. When she didn’t move an inch, he called on a nurse to escort her out of his office.

Even after she was escorted out, she was still unwilling to give up. She held the nurse’s hand in the corridor. “Please is there really no other way? My relative has been waiting for a liver transplant for a long time. Her health is deteriorating by the second. She can’t wait any longer. Please save her life.”

Natalie pleaded in a quavering voice. The nurse wriggled her arm from Natalie’s firm grip. Instead of answering her question, she simply told her to go home and continue waiting. She then went about her work.

A heavy weight suddenly fell on Natalie. She was anxious, confused, and helpless all at this time. She leaned against the wall and stared blankly for a long time. Several patients passed by. A patient, who had overheard her conversation with the nurse moved close to her and shook his head sympathetically. “Young lady, you should go back home. There’s no point wasting time here. I have seen a lot of cases like yours. Believe me when I say that they are just lying to you by saying that the donor decided to continue treatment instead. They must have given the perfect match liver to someone else with money or connections.”

The tears Natalie had been trying to hold back streamed down her cheeks immediately she heard this. She became even more distressed.

“What do you think I should do now?” she murmured, sobbing helplessly.

“From my experience, such a negative turn of events frequently happens when the patient or family members have enemies with power. Do you have an enemy? Or have you offended anyone recently, young lady?” With an infusion bottle in his hand, the patient sighed and added, “Well, I think you might offend someone.”

Something suddenly dawned on Natalie as she stared at the man’s back.

She had offended someone today.
