Alone in Death

"The doctor said I only had three days left to live.Acute liver failure.My only hope was an experimental clinical trial. It was extremely risky, but had the faintest sliver of a chance to survive.But my husband, David, gave the last available spot... to my adopted sister, Emma, also my daughter’s godmother.Her condition was still in its early stages.He said it was the "right decision," because she “deserved to live more.”I signed the papers to forgo treatment and took the high-dose painkillers prescribed by the doctor.The cost? My organs would shut down, and I would die.When I handed over the jewelry company I’d poured my heart into, along with all my designs, to Emma, my parents praised me, saying, “Now that’s what a good big sister should do.”When I agreed to divorce David so he could marry Emma, he said, “You’ve finally learned to be understanding.”When I told my daughter to call Emma ‘Mom,’ she clapped her hands and said, “Emma is such a gentle and kind mother!”When I gave all my assets to Emma, everyone in the family thought it was only natural.No one noticed anything was wrong with me.I’m just curious.Will they still be able to smile when they find out I'm dead?"
