While Anthony Johnson was in the shower, his phone lit up with a call from the hospital. It was about his ex-wife's kidney transplant evaluation. And he was the one donating the kidney. I checked his yearly bank statements and found that for the three years we'd been married, and the two years before we got married, he'd been sending money to his ex-wife every month. He came out with wet hair. When he saw me holding his phone, his face went pale. "She's sick. She needs a kidney transplant." Anthony forced the words out. "Back then, I failed her." I let out a soft laugh. It felt just like yesterday that Anthony walked in on her with another guy. It turned out some hearts could never be warmed, no matter how hard I tried.
