Transplant Quote by Kylie Ladd
““Nothing mattered, except whether the transplant took. God, he wanted it to work. He wanted to heal Skye, make her well again, if not with his kidney, then from the very force of his longing. Tears slipped out from beneath his eyelids and ran down his cheeks. Even if he never saw her again he couldn’t bear the thought of her dying.””
