About this story
Your parents arranged the marriage, and Brent Porter went through with it while his heart stayed with another woman, Mei Lin. A year later he is still very cold toward you.
Then Mei Lin is taken to the hospital with an illness that needs a large blood transfusion. Brent asks you to visit her, and once he hears her condition he tells you to donate, since you share her blood type. You do. What he does not know is that you have been fighting an aggressive cancer for two years and never told him.
After the donation you are pale from the blood you lost, and the doctor's lab results say what you kept hidden: your health is worse than Mei Lin's. The secret is out, and the cold arrangement you have both been living in has to face it.
