I wiped away my tears and carefully tucked the diagnosis report into my purse before leaving the bathroom.

I acted as if nothing had happened.

Back in the living room, Lucy White, the servant, walked out of the kitchen with some soup. "Jenessa, Tobias called specifically to ask me to make the soup for you. He said you'd been unwell lately and needed to have something nutritious."

The soup smelled good.

If it were in the past, I would have been moved to tears.

But at that moment, I just sensed an unsettling metallic scent in the fragrance.

I took the bowl from Lucy and said with a smile, "Thank you. You can be busy with your work now."

After she left, I walked to the window with the soup and unhesitatingly poured it into the flowerbed downstairs.

That evening, Tobias returned home with a cake.

As soon as he entered the door, he wrapped his arms around me. He said with a sickeningly sweet tone, "Honey, I'm sorry. Something came up at the last minute at work, so I came home late. Happy anniversary."

An unfamiliar woman's perfume lingered on him. It wasn't mine.

"It's okay. Your work is important." I mimicked his gentle tone while looking at him. "I had the soup. It was delicious. Thank you, honey."

He looked pleased in his eyes as he patted my head. "I'm glad you liked it. Come on. Let's cut the cake."

He lit the candles, turned off the lights, and pulled me close to make a wish.

In the candlelight, his profile was as handsome as ever, but I knew there was a vile heart beneath that exterior.

"Tobias," I said softly, "I went for a check-up at the hospital today."

Tobias was holding the knife to cut the cake. He paused momentarily before he resumed naturally.

He asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No. I've just been feeling tired lately and wanted to get checked out," I said, lowering my eyes. I sounded vulnerable in my voice. "The doctor said it was nothing serious. I just have a bit of anemia, and he asked me to have more rest."

I could feel Tobias's relief.

"That's good," he said. Then he handed me the largest slice of cake. "You scared me. You have to take good care of yourself. You will spend the rest of your life with me."

The rest of my life?

He meant that after my death, he would take away my heart and live happily ever after with another woman.

The rest of my life was now reduced to three months.

I took a small piece of the cake, and it tasted sickeningly sweet.

"Oh, by the way," Tobias seemed to say casually, "Jolie's condition has worsened. The doctor says she might need a heart transplant."

Here it came.

I set down my fork and looked at him with concern. "Is it so serious? Have you found a suitable donor?"

Tobias shook his head. His eyebrows were furrowed in distress. "It's not easy. None of our family members is a match. We're waiting on news from the organ donation registry, but the chances are slim."

As he spoke, he held my hand and looked at me intensely. "Jenessa, you've always been kind. You understand me the most. Right?"

I looked into Tobias's eyes, full of expectation. But I sneered in my mind.

He was testing me and hoping that I'd voluntarily offer to donate my heart.

I held his hand, and my gaze was more sincere. I said in a tone more earnest than his, "Tobias, don't worry. Jolie is like my sister. I would do anything to save her."

Tobias's eyes lit up instantly, and his breath quickened. "Jenessa, you..."

I cut him off and continued, "Let's reach out to more contacts and ask more hospitals overseas. There must be a way. Money isn't an issue. I still have some savings that can be used."

Tobias's eyes dimmed immediately. He became a bit impatient.

But he hid it well and only sighed, "Jenessa, thank you. But it isn't about money."

"I knew it." I nodded and looked worried. "I'm just so concerned. By the way, I've heard that many people now sign... an organ donor card in advance, so in case of an accident, they can help others. I think it's very meaningful."

I noticed Tobias's Adam's apple move up and down.

He suppressed his excitement and asked tentatively, "Jenessa, do you think the same way, too?"

"Yes," I replied. I seemed to take it as the most natural thing in the world. "Life is so fragile. If part of my body can help someone else after I'm gone, that's a continuation of my life. Tobias, do you agree with me?"

"I do, of course!" Tobias blurted out. He hugged me tightly, and his voice trembled. "Jenessa, you're so kind. Marrying you is the greatest blessing of my life."

I let him hold me, but a cold smile curled at my lips.

"Don't rush, Tobias. This is just the beginning."

The next day, Joanna brought Jolie over.

Jolie's face was pale. Her lips were devoid of color. She seemed to struggle for breath after just a few steps, as if she might collapse at any moment.

What an act!

"Jenessa," she said while smiling weakly at me, "Tobias says you're willing to..."

Joanna immediately interrupted her and feigned reproach. "What are you talking about, Jolie? Jenessa isn't well either. Don't bother her with such things."

With that, Joanna took my hand and looked concerned.

She said, "Jenessa, look at you. You've lost weight again. I brought you some herbal remedy I made myself. Have it before it gets cold."

She opened the thermos, and I sensed a strong medicinal smell.

I looked at the dark concoction and realized it was nothing good.

They pretended to care for me while eagerly waiting for me to sign that agreement.

"Thank you, Joanna." I took the bowl but didn't have it. Instead, I looked at Jolie.

"Jolie, sit down. I have something to tell you."

I pulled Jolie to the sofa and took out an envelope from my purse.

Tobias and Joanna's eyes were immediately glued to it.

I took out a document and handed it to Jolie. "Jolie, this is a small gift from me. Please accept it."

Jolie took it with a puzzled look. Her expression changed instantly upon opening it.

Tobias and Joanna leaned in. Their faces froze when they read the words on the document.

It wasn't an organ donation agreement.

It was a property transfer contract.

I was giving Jolie an apartment I owned.

"Jenessa, this... this is too expensive. I can't accept it." Jolie hurriedly pushed the document back.

"You must accept it." I insisted firmly, and tears brimmed in my eyes. "Jolie, we're family. As long as you're unwell, I won't be relieved. Take this apartment. You can sell it for treatment or keep it. It's a gesture from me to wish you can get better."

My words were so heartfelt that Tobias and Joanna could only force a smile of gratitude, even though they were unhappy.

"Jenessa, you're so good to Jolie," Joanna said.

She held my hand, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Having a daughter-in-law like you is a blessing for me."

Tobias chimed in, "Jenessa, thank you for that."

"We're family. Don't say that." I wiped away my "emotional" tears and then changed the topic. "Tobias, Mom, I actually called you here today to discuss something else." I paused and then continued while watching their expressions grow tense, "I wish to execute my last will and testament."

"Your last will?"

Tobias and Joanna exclaimed in unison. They were both shocked.

"Jenessa, why would you write that when you are fine?" Tobias immediately furrowed his brow, and he sounded unhappy. "Don't let your thoughts run wild."

"I didn't." I lowered my head, and my voice was soft, tinged with confusion and fear. "I just feel... anything might happen. Look at Jolie's illness, and I haven't been feeling well lately. What if something unexpected happens to me one day..."

I looked up, and my eyes were red as I gazed at them. "My parents passed away a long time ago. You are the closest people I have in the world. If I don't leave my assets to you, who else would I leave them to?"

My words completely dispelled their doubts.

What I said was right. I had no other family. Aside from them, I had no one else.

Naturally, everything I owned would eventually be theirs.

Joanna's eyes began to glisten with a greedy light, but she still feigned a refusal. "Don't say that. You'll live a long and healthy life."

"Joanna, just let me have peace of mind." I held her hand, like a child seeking protection. "Tobias, could you help me find a lawyer? I want to arrange everything before anything happens to me."

Tobias looked at me, and his expression was complex.

He was probably thinking that since I wanted to write my last will, I might also sign that donation agreement.

He was silent for a few seconds before finally nodding. "Alright. I'll arrange it."

He was very efficient. The next day, he arranged for a lawyer his company collaborated with, named James Norris.

Mr. Wang was a sharp-looking middle-aged man who adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and asked me in a businesslike manner, "Ms. Su, how do you plan to allocate your estate?" "Ms. Wright, how do you intend to apportion your assets?"

My assets were simple. A part of it was an inheritance from my parents, including an apartment downtown and some savings, and the other part was my savings from these years.

Tobias and Joanna sat across from me. They looked calm, but their hands were already tightly clasped under the table.

I cleared my throat and slowly began, "All my real estate, including the apartment my parents left me and the apartment I purchased after getting married, will be inherited by my husband, Tobias Wright, after my passing."

Tobias couldn't help but give a slight smile.

Joanna also leaned back on the sofa, satisfied.

"All my savings, stocks, and funds," I continued, "will also be inherited entirely by my husband, Tobias, after my passing."

At that moment, they couldn't hide their smiles any longer.

"But," I shifted the tone, "I have a condition."

Their smiles froze.

"What condition?" Tobias asked.

I looked at James and said each word clearly. "If Tobias chooses to marry another woman after my death, he will automatically forfeit all rights to inherit the aforementioned assets. All my estate will be donated to charity."

Tobias's face darkened instantly. "Jenessa, what do you mean by this?"

"Tobias, don't misunderstand." I immediately softened my voice and looked at him with grievance. "I just... love you too much. I can't imagine you will have another woman living in our house and spending my money after my death. Just the thought of that scene breaks my heart."

I clutched my chest, and tears fell at the right moment.

"Could you fulfill my last selfish wish, okay? Just to prove to me that your love for me is special."

My "heartfelt confession" left Tobias unable to argue.

If he refused, he would almost admit that he didn't love me and would marry another woman.

In front of James, Tobias could only grit his teeth and squeeze out a single word. "Okay."

Joanna's face had turned extremely unsightly.

I sneered inside.

Did they want my money? They could, but Tobias had to be single for the rest of his life.

After I settled my estate, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I relaxed completely.

I looked at Tobias and seemed casually to bring something up. "By the way, Tobias, about that organ donor registration I mentioned last time..."

Tobias's eyes lit up sharply.

"Since James is here, why not handle it today as well?"
