My Death Countdown

James adjusted his glasses and began formally, "Ms. Wright, organ donation is a significant decision. Are you sure you want to do that? Once you sign it, it becomes legally binding."

"Yes, I am." I nodded without hesitation, and then my gaze turned to Tobias with affection. "My body is the last gift I can leave behind for the world. If my heart can save a girl as lovely as Jolie, I'll feel like my life continues in another form."

I spoke with genuine emotion and almost moved myself to tears.

Tobias was touched and grasped my hand tightly. His eyes were red with emotion. "Jenessa, you... you truly are a good wife."

Joanna didn't look gloomy any longer. She smiled broadly and looked at me as if I were a rare gem.

"Mr. Norris, please, prepare the documents now." Tobias urged impatiently.

James retrieved the prepared documents and ink pad from his briefcase.

There were three copies of the "Voluntary Organ Donation Registration Form."

Tobias handed me the pen himself while holding his breath.

Joanna stood nearby and watched me intently. She must fear I might change my mind again.

I took the pen, and my fingertips felt cold.

I knew that once I signed it, I would die quicker.

They would do everything possible to ensure I "accidentally" died within the following three months.

I removed the pen cap and read each word in the form.

The beneficiary section was blank.

But I knew they had arranged everything. Once I signed it, my heart would find its way to Jolie's chest.

Taking a deep breath, I carefully wrote my name in the signature part, Jenessa Wright.

As I completed the final stroke, Tobias and Joanna exhaled simultaneously.

Their eyes were filled with a sense of ecstasy and relief.

"It's done." I set down the pen and pushed the form over. I said with a faint, weary smile on my face, "Now I have no worries."

"Jenessa, thank you for what you have done." Tobias carefully kept the form as if it were a priceless artifact.

He pretended to be concerned as he said, "You look exhausted. Go and have a rest in your room."

I nodded compliantly and slowly walked back to my bedroom under their eager gazes.

As soon as I closed the door, the smile vanished from my face.

I walked to the bed and found my phone from under the pillow. Then I clicked open a recording file.

The conversation from the living room a moment ago was heard clearly, including me making last will and signing the donation agreement.

The greedy and hypocritical faces of Tobias, Joanna, and James were recorded clearly.

I encrypted the recording and sent it to my email.

Then, I made a call. "Hello, is that Luther Perry, the reporter? This is Jenessa Wright. I have some news that will greatly interest you... It's about Tobias, the CEO of Celestica Group."

Celestica Group was the company Tobias founded with my parents' money.

I said to myself, "It's time for him to pay me back. Tobias, Joanna, do you think securing the donation agreement guarantees your success? You're mistaken. That agreement doesn't make me die early. It will bring them to hell."
