Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 369

"Don't do that." Ellie pushed my head back onto Brandon's shoulder. "Maddie, just lean on Bran like that. I love seeing you two all lovey-dovey."

I looked at her helplessly.

"Bran, Maddie." Ellie looked at us with her clear eyes. "I was going to wait a few days to say something, but since we're on the topic, I might as well say it now."

"Don't overthink it, and don't say anything silly." I already had a feeling about what she was going to say.

However, Brandon said, "Let her speak."

Ellie smiled at him. "You really are my brother. You know me best."

After that, she looked at me. "Maddie, listen to me first."

She giggled, then cleared her throat with a couple of coughs before gripping both mine and Brandon's hands tightly. "Here I go."

Both Brandon and I stayed silent, but our breathing became noticeably tense.

"Bran, Maddie, I want to donate my organs." Her words caught Brandon and me by surprise, and they shocked us.

"What are you talking about?" Brandon asked in a heavy tone.

"I said I want to donate my organs, but only if my surgery fails or if something happens to me in the future," Ellie said in all seriousness.

My breathing became heavier as well. "Why would you even think of that?"

"Since my surgery needs someone else's heart, I want to give back if the time comes. Even if my heart can't be used, my liver, kidneys, and corneas could still help someone else. I want to donate them to give others a chance at life." Ellie had a baby face with eyes as pure as a child's.

However, what she said was like thunder, and I felt a rush of blood from my feet to my head.

Brandon didn't speak. I couldn't tell what he was feeling and turned to look at him.

He was staring at Ellie with a tremor in his eyes as well.
