“ How is it doctor? ” Kim asked as he drew out the test papers. He had a normal look on his face which kept Kim wondering what was in the paper. “ Check it out. ” He said and Kim opened the paper carefully. She kept shaking as she did. “ What if it turns negative? What if I can’t help him? What if he does it because of me? ” Kim thought as she began to read what was written on the paper.
She smiled widely as she saw they had compatible blood groups. “ This is great! We can do it right? ” She asked and the doctor sighed sadly. Kim furrowed her brows looking at him. “Why? Why the face? What is going on? ” she asked fearfully.
“ Your other kidney is not so healthy Kim. If you donate the healthy one to him, there are chances that… ” He stated. “ What doctor? Finish it. ” Kim said with tears in her eyes. “That you would have complications at the end. And you would be needing a transplant too.” He explained and Kim bowed her head in sadness.
“ So I can’t manage it? With drugs or anything? ” Kim asked and the doctor nodded. “ You can. But are you ready to take that risk? There are medications you can use to maintain the other kidney, but it is a day-to-day basis. ” He said and Kim sighed. “ Do it.” Kim said in determination.
“ Kim…” the doctor called. “ I have the right to do what I want with my body. So please, stop trying to discourage me, and let’s do this. We don’t have much time. ” She uttered and he nodded. “Alright, Let’s get this done. We will be doing the surgery tomorrow. Are you sure you don’t want to tell him? ” He asked and she shook her head.
“ We are not saying a word to him. Thank you doctor, I will go to the ward now. ” Kim said, standing up and walking to the door. “ You are an amazing partner. ” The doctor muttered, and Kim looked back with a faint smile on her face. “ Thank you. ” She said, walking out of the office. She walked down the hallway heading to Landon's room when she heard someone call her from behind.
“ Kimberly.” Alex called and she turned to look at him. When she saw him, she was surprised and angry at the same time. “ What do you want? ” She asked as he approached her. “ That isn’t a polite way to greet a friend. ” Alex said with a smirk on his face.
“Why are you here?” She asked as he stood right in front of her. “I heard you are in the hospital so I felt it was necessary to come see If you are okay.” Alex said and Kim rolled her eyes. “Like you care. Well, I am good and nothing is wrong with me. You can take your leave now.” She said turning to walk away. “If you are fine, then why are you here? What is going on?” he asked and Kim sighed?
“ This is none of your business. Why do you care about me anyways? You have been paid your money, what else do you want? ” Kim asked angrily. “ I know you hate me Kim, but you should know I am the only one that cares about you genuinely. Landon just wants to f**k you and get rid of you. ” He said and Kim approached him and threw a slap to his face. “ Don’t you ever say that again! Ever! I am no slut and Landon isn’t a greedy bi**ch like you. ” She said and all the people around stood to watch them.
“ Did you just slap me? ” Alex asked in anger. “ Yes! And I will do it again if you talk ill about anyone I like and care about. ” She uttered and walked out of his presence before he could say any other words. She got to the ward, and walked in. She still had a frown on her face, but immediately she saw Landon stare at her she smiled faintly.
“ What is going on? I heard your voice. ” He said and Kim smiled sitting on the chair next to him. “ It is no one. Just someone trying to piss me off. ” She said and Landon creased his brows. “That is weird because no one pissed you off except me.” Landon stated and Kim laughed. “You don’t piss me off, Landon. You can’t.” She said and Landon smiled. “ I have seven days. So try to be sweet all the way you can.” He said and Kim shook her head. “ You are not dying, Landon. We are not giving up on you. ” Kim said and Landon sighed. He lost hope already, and he didn’t want to be reminded anymore.
“ Your mom called. ” He said and Kim creased her brows. “ Really? Did you tell you the reason for her call? ” she asked, reaching for her phone. “ No. Must there be a reason? She wanted to greet you. ” He said and Kim looked confused. “That is a lie. My mother would never call to just greet me. Someone is wrong.” She said, pressing her phone. “What are you doing?” he asked.
“ Calling her back to know the main reason why she called. ” She said and Landon's eyes widened. “Arrrghhh.” He groaned holding his tummy. “ Landon? Are you okay? ” Kim asked, jumping up and dropping her phone. “My tummy.” He said, and she placed her hand on it. “ I would call the doctor. ” She said and was about to go when Landon held her back.
“ No. Leave your hand on me. ” He stated and Kim nodded gazed right into his eyes.
