I pretended not to see it and enthusiastically expressed that when the operation day came, I was willing to sacrifice my annual leave to take care of her in the hospital.
She said nothing, and walked away angrily with her daughter in her arms.
When she advised me, she said that people only used one kidney to work, so why couldn't she do that?
Things turned out just as I expected. Lucy refused to donate a kidney on the grounds that her in-laws did not agree.
I also received abusive phone calls from my parents.
"Yuki, what were you thinking? How could you harm Lucy like this?"
"Are you going to let Lucy divorce? Come back right now."
I had long been accustomed to Dad's temper and tyranny, so I went home with the attitude of having fun. I wanted to know what "big event" had happened at home.
Lucy was crying on the sofa and her eyes were red and swollen. Mom held Lucy's hand and patted her back to comfort her.
Dad stood by the window smoking, not saying a word.
As soon as I got home, Dad directly said, "You are responsible for resolving the problems you caused. Hurry up and give me five hundred thousand dollars to return to your uncle."
