My Kidney for His Hatred

The day my ex finally made it big, the doctor told me I had less than three months to live.

On TV, a reporter was interviewing James Larson.

“Mr. Larson, what drove you to success?”

James chuckled, but his eyes were misty.

“The biggest push? Probably when I was diagnosed with kidney disease eight years ago, and my ex walked out on me.”

“I’m grateful she didn’t marry me. That was the wake-up call I needed.”

After the interview, he called.

“Amelia Simmons, I made it. Do you regret it now?”
