Love needs no hesitation for even a second.
He and she seemed destined for each other.
Back then, she was timid and frail, easily startled by a dog’s bark on her way to school. During those moments, he would always appear, holding her sweaty little hand, patting his chest and saying, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” At that time, she was only 7 years old, and he was merely 3 years older than her.
Throughout their long academic journey, they always accompanied each other. Unbeknownst to them, he grew into a handsome young man, while she blossomed like a flower in spring, shy and radiant.
Finally, one day, he presented her with a large bouquet of vibrant roses and said tenderly, “I love you, will you marry me?” Fearing rejection, he hastily added, “You don’t have to answer right away. Take your time. I’ll wait for you, as long as it takes…”
Happiness, like the spring breeze, brushed over her lake-blue eyes. Burying her face in the roses, she playfully yet firmly responded, “I love you, and I don’t need a second to hesitate!”
The year they walked hand in hand down the red carpet of marriage, she was 24, and he was 27. Their married life was like a fairy tale, with the prince holding the princess’s hand. He cherished her like a treasure, showering her with care, while she turned her boundless affection into the daily acts of cooking and caring for her beloved.
However, disaster did not delay its arrival because of their deep love. She had been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of two. This genetic disease could affect multiple organs, with the lungs and digestive system being the most severely impacted. Statistics show that few patients live past 40.
He had known about her health condition for many years, yet it never affected his determination to marry her. Less than a year into their marriage, his worst fears came true: her condition began to worsen. Initially, she only needed oxygen occasionally, but soon she required it almost constantly.
One day, as her condition deteriorated further in the hospital, he was desperate and helpless. By chance, he learned that organ transplantation was her only chance for recovery. Without hesitation, he approached the doctor, offering to donate his lung lobe.
Fortunately, the surgery was highly successful, and they both recovered and continued their simple yet beautiful married life.
Sadly, 20 years later, her health declined again due to cystic fibrosis, leading to kidney failure.
This time, the doctor was clear that the only cure was another organ transplant. Without hesitation, he volunteered to donate one of his kidneys to his wife.
On a snowy day, they were once again wheeled into the operating room together. A friend posted about this online, and numerous netizens were deeply moved, leaving messages saying their story renewed their faith in love, along with sincere blessings.
As time ticked by, this surgery garnered immense attention from everyone. To date, he was the world’s first living organ donor to voluntarily donate two different organs.
Fortunately, the transplant surgery was highly successful, and they made it home in time to prepare for a warm Christmas.
His name is David, and her name is Caroline. This couple from the United Kingdom created a miracle that touched countless people around the world through their love.
On a romantic night, with flickering candlelight, she asked him, “Why are you so foolish to step up twice? What if something went wrong with the surgery?”
Holding her hand, he lovingly replied, “Before this surgery, I had already made up my mind. The worst that could happen is that we leave this world together. I can’t bear to see you go alone, just like you said when you married me, because love needs no hesitation for even a second. Now, I’m willing to give everything because I feel exactly the same as you did back then…”
