Three years ago, Shen Zhi’s mother was waiting in the operating room when Lu Wenzhou sent her a single message: “Don’t wait for me.”
She thought he had taken the money meant to save her mother and gone to someone else.
Three years later, a battered old phone with a cracked screen was delivered to her audio restoration studio. When it powered on, the screen showed ninety-nine missed calls from Lu Wenzhou and a damaged recording titled “For Shen Zhi.”
As she repaired the phone, she was drawn back to the old hospital building, the medical records, the plane tickets, and the silver ring hidden inside the phone case.
Every piece of evidence pointed to betrayal.
Until she saw the name on the file: living liver donor, Lu Wenzhou.
The man she had hated for three years had once put himself down as the donor on her mother’s surgical consent form.
