Chapter 1: An angel
" Are you sure you want to donate your heart to your uncle? Judging from the test we ran earlier, you still have around two more years. " The doctor, a man in his fifties with a solemn expression, asked.
" Yes, that's my final decision COUGH COUGH. " Lucian replied.
" If that's the case, then please fill out this form. We've already checked everything, and your heart is a perfect match for your uncle, there won't be any complications. " The doctor paused, his eyes filled with a mix of admiration and pity as he passed the form.
" It's truly admirable of you, sacrificing a few years of your life to save your uncle. There aren't many people like you left in this world, his own son refused to even help him with the cost of operation."
" Ah yes, I do care a lot about my dear uncle. You can prepare for the transplant. Can we schedule it for tomorrow? " Lucian, who had just turned thirty-five, handed the signed form back to the doctor without showing any change in his expression.
" Okay. Please have a good rest, " the doctor said, looking at Lucian with kind and sympathetic eyes. He stood up and walked out, mumbling: " Such a kind soul. After suffering his entire life, he still has such a pure heart. I'm sure he's going to heaven."
Lucian leaned back on the patient bed and began to work on his laptop, his long black hair fell onto his shoulders, and in contrast, his skin looked pale making his skinny body appear even weaker.
" Who is he? " A passing nurse asked with curiosity in her voice.
" He is Lucian, because of frail health he had to stay in the hospital for most of his life and later he was diagnosed with 'Cystic fibrosis' (CF); he only has a couple more years to live.
But he is still willing to sacrifice that time to let his uncle live, who need an immediate heart transplant. " The doctor answered as they walked away.
Memories flashed in his mind, there was a time when the life of Lucian's parents was quite good, they were happy more than anyone else but some time after Lucian was born their family hit the rock bottom because of some failed business.
After which Lucian's mother left their family leaving the father son duo on their own, but after struggling for a long time, luck shined upon them once again and Lucian's father was able to reach the top, becoming the owner of one of the biggest companies.
Everything was going smoothly until Lucian's father died, and his life started to become only miserable from that point, all the money along with the company disappeared.
He was bullied in school for being too handsome and good at studies and later he found out that he has a rare disease.
Now you may question just how rare the disease was, when Lucian asked the same question to his doctor the answer that he received was:
" Congratulations, what would you like to name this disease? This is the first we have seen anything like that. "
After that point, Lucian became a lot weaker and skinnier thus he had to stay in the hospital till this day, but one thing he had dedicated his life to was coding, and after practising continuously for years he became one of the country's best hackers.
*BANG*
The door to the room was kicked open as a blonde boy with a decent looking face, wearing an expensive suit walked inside.
" I heard you are donating your heart to your uncle tomorrow, is that true? " Eric asked with a slightly irritated expression.
" Hmmm Yes, I am donating my heart to my poor uncle who needs it urgently. " Lucian answered without glancing above.
" I know he is your uncle and all, but isn't it still a bit too much? " Eric spoke with an exasperated expression.
" I guess you are right, I'm sacrificing my life for my uncle who never even cared for me, aren't I an angel? " Lucian answered placing both of his hands on his cheeks and with an innocent smile, while tilting his head slightly.
" Angel my ass, dude I know he filled his pockets after your father's death and was also quite a big asshole, but haven't you ruined him enough already to the point that he is on the verge of begging on the streets, and now you are planning to kill him like that? " Eric spoke releasing a sigh.
" Why, you want me to stop? " Lucian asked as he finally closed his laptop and looked at his friend.
" Of course not, if that was the case then I would not have helped you with turning the reports of your perfectly healthy uncle into a heart patient who urgently needs a new heart, not to mention changing your disease to CF. " Eric added.
This is Eric, Lucian's only friend from the time of school, he was weak and always bullied but after seeing Lucian work so hard, he also decided to work towards his goals.
After working hard for so long and spending countless hours honing his skills now he has finally turned into a rich and professional... con artist.
" Aside from that, this is your last day in this world if you had not decided to give your heart to your uncle you might have survived a few more days or maybe even a week. "
Eric spoke, sadness evident on his face, he is the only person who stayed by Lucian's side no matter how much he went through.
" Yeah I had always hoped for a happy and simple life, but that is one thing that God never granted me and now it's finally time for me to go. " Lucian spoke his voice getting low, but in the next moment a twisted smile appeared on his face as he added:
" But with this, I can finally kill my uncle legally haa at least there is one good thing about me dying, haha. "
