Chapter 3My Baby Was Swapped With My Sister-in-Law’s

My painful groans startled my mother-in-law. Lily looked excited when she saw I was in labor. My mother-in-law glanced at me and whispered to Lily, "Finally, those months of serving her weren't for nothing. Every day I made her soup and meals, I was so annoyed I wanted to strangle her. Now she's finally going to give birth. Lily, hurry and take the labor-inducing medicine. Any later, and it'll be too late."

Lily agreed, telling her mother, "Mom, watch her closely. I'll go take the medicine now." I was sweating profusely from the pain, yet I had to listen to my mother-in-law and sister-in-law conspiring to steal my baby. I grabbed my mother-in-law and told her, "Mom, I'm about to give birth. Please, take me to the hospital quickly." My mother-in-law shook off my hand and said, "Why go to the hospital? I'll call Dr. Lee in a bit and have him come here to deliver the baby. What if you go into labor on the way to the hospital with a baby in your belly?"

With that, my mother-in-law took out her phone and called Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee was the doctor my mother-in-law and sister-in-law had bribed in my previous life. He was the one who stole my baby after I gave birth to my son. I had planned this time for my husband to wait at the hospital in advance, so my mother-in-law and sister-in-law wouldn't have an opportunity. I didn't expect them to overhear my phone call and decide to have Dr. Lee come to the house for the delivery. My phone had also been taken by my mother-in-law; I couldn't contact Ethan at all. Now, it was just my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and me at home. After I gave birth, the baby would definitely be stolen by Lily and her mother. So, no matter what, I couldn't give birth at home. I had to hold on until I saw Ethan.

Lily took the labor-inducing medicine, and soon her water broke, and contractions began. Hearing her heart-wrenching screams, I grew even more agitated. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the opposite neighbor's door opening. I instantly calmed down. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law were both in the bedroom. I wanted to find a chance to pass a message, and it had to be now. I quietly opened my door, grabbed the neighbor's young daughter's hand, and told her, "I'm about to give birth. Please help me contact my husband. Tell him my mother-in-law wants me to give birth at home, and to hurry home and take me to the hospital." The young girl was hesitant at first, but seeing my face covered in sweat, she nodded and agreed to help me.

Just then, my mother-in-law suddenly pulled me inside, slamming the door shut with a loud "bang." My mother-in-law yelled at me, "Why are you running? What if you give birth at the door, how unlucky would that be? Stay put quietly. Dr. Lee will be here soon." No sooner had my mother-in-law finished speaking than Dr. Lee knocked on the door.
