The Price of a Daughter
She sold me for five hundred. Now she needs my hands.
Clara Su is the surgeon the whole country calls when a heart is past saving. She is also the seven-year-old girl her mother sold to a trafficker for five hundred yuan and left to be raised as a wife for a stranger’s son in a mountain village. Twenty years later, Vivian Shen kneels outside Clara’s ward in a Chanel suit, holding the file of the daughter she kept: Cecilia, twenty-three, dying of a defect only Clara can repair. The Shen family has run out of other options. Clara has spent two decades building a life that does not need them, and she is not sure whether she wants to save her sister, refuse them all, or simply let her mother kneel until the tiles wear through her knees.
