Chapter 4My Baby Was Swapped With My Sister-in-Law’s

My mother-in-law eagerly pulled Dr. Lee, urging him to deliver my baby. But at that moment, Lily was continuously wailing in her room. My mother-in-law comforted Lily, her face filled with worry. I quickly told my mother-in-law, "Mom, Lily is in premature labor and is in more danger than I am. Why don't we let Dr. Lee deliver her baby first? I can wait. We can't let anything happen to Lily's body."

My mother-in-law looked at my belly with some hesitation. I continued, "Mom, even though Lily can marry into a wealthy family if she gives birth to a boy, if something happens to her own body, even giving birth to a boy won't matter." Hearing my words, my mother-in-law immediately made up her mind and told Dr. Lee, "Dr. Lee, please deliver my daughter's baby first."

My mother-in-law and Dr. Lee rushed into Lily's room. I endured wave after wave of searing pain, gently stroking my belly and comforting my baby. "Baby, don't be in a hurry. Wait until Daddy comes back before you come out. For the sake of our family, you must bear it a little longer." The baby in my belly seemed to understand my words; my labor pains weren't as severe as before. Meanwhile, Lily's room continued to emit heart-wrenching screams.

A moment later, the door was pushed open with a "bang." Dr. Lee frantically shouted, "Oh no, it's a hemorrhage! Call an ambulance quickly!" Dr. Lee picked up his phone, ready to dial emergency services. Just then, the main door opened. It was Ethan; he was back! He urgently asked me, "Wife, how are you?" I lunged into his arms, instantly collapsing and fainting. Before losing consciousness, I suddenly felt incredibly relieved. The person I could rely on had finally returned.

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a hospital bed. A nurse held my hand, telling me to push. I pushed with all my might. An hour later, I finally heard my baby's cry. I lay exhausted on the delivery bed. The doctor held the baby, letting me glimpse him. "It's a boy, everything's normal." I lay on the bed, unable to stop crying. In my previous life, I gave birth with all my strength, only to be met with the devastating news of a stillborn baby. Overwhelmed by the shock, I suffered a postpartum hemorrhage and almost died in the bed. But this life, I finally heard the nurse tell me with my own ears that I had given birth to a healthy baby. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, Ethan was by my side, looking at me with concern. I grabbed his hand and anxiously asked, "Where's the baby? Where is he?" Ethan picked up the baby from the nearby bassinet and smiled at me. "He's right here. Don't worry. I've been watching him the whole time." Only then did my heart completely settle. Looking at the adorable baby in the swaddle and my husband beside me, I felt incredibly happy. Suddenly, I remembered Lily. I asked Ethan, "How's Lily? Has she given birth?" My husband nodded, saying with relief, "Thankfully I came home in time and rushed Lily, who was hemorrhaging, to the hospital. That's why she was able to give birth smoothly. She also had a boy."

My brows instantly furrowed. Lily was clearly carrying a girl. Even if my husband had gotten her to the hospital in time and the baby hadn't died, the gender couldn't possibly change. I grabbed my husband's hand, staring fixedly at him, and asked, "Are you sure she gave birth to a boy?" My husband looked at me, confused. "Claire, why that expression? Lily really did give birth to a boy. Even though he was premature, he was put in an incubator in time, and the baby is quite healthy." It seemed Lily had indeed given birth to a boy, but how could that be? Did my mother-in-law and sister-in-law secretly swap someone else's baby?
