Love Fades into Darkness

Ian Zahn's footsteps are unsteady as he staggers into a hospital, clutching the 500 thousand dollars that he got by selling his kidney. His ashen face breaks into a satisfied smile.500 thousand dollars is enough to cure Leila Sutherland. It's more than worth it to exchange one of his kidneys for her life.He's weak after his surgery, but he endures it as he clumsily jogs to Leila's ward. He sees her from the window in the door—she's so fragile that his heart aches for her."Lili, that pathetic boyfriend you picked up isn't here. Who are you putting on this act for?""Shut up! I'm refining my acting skills—how else will I continue tricking him?"A familiar laugh rings out, and Ian pauses as he reaches for the doorknob. Tricking… him?The people in the ward cheer."As expected of Lili! All you needed to do was forge some medical records to pull a fast one on that idiot. He really thinks you have cancer!""I heard he even withdrew all his savings for her. Do you guys know how much that was? A mere 60 thousand dollars!""Damn, that's it? Lili spends hundreds of thousands of dollars in a single night at the bar—60 thousand dollars is nothing to her! I can't believe he had the gall to give that to her!"
