It was December th
There were only three days to go.
Right then, Adam called me
1 answered the call and asked, “What’s up?
“Amanda,” came the familiar voice of Adam
“Grace saved my

I was aghast at this news.
It was I who had saved Adam with my kidney.
Why did Grace become his savior now?
“Adam, I am your savior. When you were injured, I gave you my kidney
I couldn’t help but speak my mind.
Silence fell on the other end of the line.
Adam’s voice sounded with disappointment. “Amanda, did you learn to lie during your stay in Ouray?
“It is Grace who gave me the kidney. Your parents and the doctor are the witnesses. You are so disappointing.”

Adam had been rushed into the operating room for a kidney transplant after he got wounded by his business rival.
Without the slightest hesitation, I had a matching test. I bravely went into the operating room and gave him my kidney after I was confirmed to be a suitable match.

I didn’t know why he had popped up there

Then, countless drones formed a sentence in the night sky.
“Adam loves Amanda forever.”
