Chapter 7

Dad and Liam pulled every string they had, trying to find another suitable bone marrow donor for Mom.

But a suitable donor wasn’t easy to find.

In just half a month, the doctor delivered an ultimatum.

A suitable donor had to be found as soon as possible.

Otherwise, Mom would be in grave danger.

So, they started calling me again.

Still no answer.

They exchanged glances, realizing that besides calling me, they had no other way to reach me.

Dad cleared his throat. “Do any of you have any of Chloe Kingston’s friends’ or classmates’ numbers?”

All their gazes fell on Ryan.

Ryan pulled out his phone and called a few classmates and friends he remembered I was close to.

“Chloe Kingston? I haven’t heard from her in almost a year.”

Liam’s face darkened. “That Chloe Kingston is such a freak. She doesn’t even have any close friends or classmates. Who knows where she’s hiding, completely inconsiderate. She deserves to be disliked.”

A bitter taste filled my mouth.

If I could, I wouldn’t want to be here either.

I didn’t want to be disliked.

I wanted everyone to adore me, just like Serena.
