Chapter 97

July 2025

Zoe practically waltzed into Sarah's hospital room. She looked her sister up and down.

"Well, you look terrible."

"Thanks a lot."

Zoe grinned.

"How you been?"

"I've been better."

"Aww."

"Is there... is there a reason why you're here?"

"Aren't I allowed to visit my sister in hospital?"

"Yes, it's just... I didn't expect you..."

Zoe shrugged.

"I just wanted to tell you that I talked with the doctor, did some tests, and it turns out that we're compatible."

"Huh?"

Zoe smiled at Sarah.

"What I'm trying to say is... I'd like to donate a kidney... if you'll accept."

Sarah stared.

"Wha-what?"

"I want to donate a kidney - I know you need a transplant. Of course, I believe a whole bunch of your fans have been wanting to donate a kidney to you, so if you'd rather -"

"No! No. Zoe this is..." Sarah was getting teary-eyed. "Zoe, this is the nicest thing you've ever done for me."

"Then you accept?"

"Of course I do! I'm just... surprised, I... oh gosh, thank you so much!"

Zoe was all smiles and gave Sarah a hug.

"I know we haven't always gotten along. But you're my sister. And you're in need of something I can give. So I want to give it."

Sarah nodded, tears starting down her cheeks as she returned the smile.

The sisters spoke for a little longer, and then Zoe had to leave.

"I'll talk to you again soon," she promised Sarah.

"Okay," Sarah replied. "Thanks again."

"No problem."
