The day the Mason family came to take me away, the whole town said I was lucky. In my previous life, I went with my brother, Logan. I thought I finally found my biological parents and would have a stable home. Instead, the moment I arrived at the Masons' place, they pushed me in front of Leanne Mason, their fake daughter. She had been switched with me at birth and was sickly since childhood. My mother's eyes turned red as she said, "Shelby, Leanne is sickly. You'll stay at the old mansion for now. When she gets used to it, I'll bring you home." I lived in the old mansion for four years. The first year, I donated blood to Leanne for an entire year. The second year, I donated bone marrow. The third year, I gave her one kidney. In the winter of the fourth year, Logan stood in front of me holding a heart transplant consent form. "Shelby, Leanne is dying," he said. "You're her sister. Donate your heart to her. Consider it repayment for our parents giving birth to you." Afraid I would resist, Logan drugged me every day until my body had no strength left. The day before the surgery, I seized the chance when no one noticed and smashed my head into the wall, dying. Only then did I understand I was never the Masons' daughter. I was just the heart donor they wanted. When I returned to the day Logan came to take me away, I pulled out the paternity test report I prepared in advance and handed it to him. "You got the wrong person," I said calmly. "I'm not related to the Mason family."
