It could be said that he was interested in Lily not as a person but in her organs.
Knowing Cole's plan, I subtly advised Lily that he likely had no romantic intentions toward her and warned her to be cautious of him.
Lily, however, turned pale and believed I was jealous of her good fortune, immersing herself in dreams of marrying into wealth.
She obeyed Cole's every command and rushed to the hospital at his first phone call.
From donating blood to giving her liver and eventually even a kidney for Lauri, she did it all.
As an emergency doctor, I saved Lily from the brink of death countless times.
When Cole and Lauri registered their marriage, my frenzied sister killed me with a knife.
She pointed to a small scar on her face and said, "It's because your stitching was so bad that I ended up with this scar, making me less attractive. That's why Cole chose Lauri."
The scar was from her fainting due to blood loss and hitting the ground, which I had stitched up while rescuing her.
The wound was long, and scarring was inevitable, but she blamed it on me for delaying her chance to marry into a wealthy family.
Recalling everything from my previous life, I smiled.
Seeing Lily's eager eyes, I said with a smile, "That's great. You're about to marry into a wealthy family."
Lily jumped up in excitement.
She proudly told our parents, "See? Audra supports me. My judgment wasn't wrong."
No matter what she did this time, I would support her.
Our parents still couldn't rest easy and called me aside to give me a warning.
They said, "Audra, the hospital is close to Lily's school. You should visit her more often and make sure she doesn't do anything foolish."
In my previous life, my parents had left the responsibility of watching over Lily entirely to me.
Whenever Lily donated blood to Lauri, they would blame me.
They said, "If you had paid more attention to Lily, she wouldn't have been manipulated like this. You've failed her and our family."
I had been scolded so much back then that I truly believed it was my fault for not taking care of her properly.
But now, I knew that her life and death had nothing to do with me.
I wasn't going to be a fool and take the blame again.
I replied, "Mom and Dad, you should know how busy I am. I don't have time. You're both retired, with money and time on your hands. If you're so worried, why don't you rent a place near her university and keep an eye on her?"
