chapter 2
Hannah was stunned by my words, but the result that followed hurt her even more.
Jenny, just like in the previous life, had underdeveloped chest cavity.
I spoke with unusual calmness, "In that case, I still think it's safer to terminate. If the baby is born deformed, our family probably can't handle it."
Hannah's eyes instantly turned red. "Mom! I've been married for eight years before finally conceiving this child. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, I don't want to give up!"
She clutched my hand tightly, trembling all over as she cried.
My heart clenched suddenly, and I could no longer say such cold words.
The doctor sighed, provided a conservative treatment plan, and prescribed some medication for Hannah to take at home.
On the way back, my heart was still very uneasy.
Sure enough, not long after, I heard Jenny's inner voice again. "As long as Mom takes this medicine and gets enough vitamins, I can develop normally and will definitely be a healthy baby."
I looked at the bottle of medicine in Hannah's hand, silent.
In her past life, the baby in Hannah's womb developed abnormalities due to a severe lack of vitamins and insufficient vegetable intake.
But can this bottle of medicine really cure Jenny's congenital underdevelopment?
The more I listened to Jenny's confident voice, the more doubtful I became.
After returning, I started going against Jenny's inner voice nonstop.
She didnt want to eat vegetables, so I juiced them and made Hannah drink it.
She said she didnt want meals, only chips and snacks. So I made nutritious meals for Hannah and threw away all the junk food.
Day by day passed, and Hannah's check-up results were always great.
Hannah happily hugged my neck and said, "Mom, you're the best. I feel at ease with you around. Those medicines can be skipped; eating the nutritious meals you make is enough to nourish the baby."
At that moment, I almost believed I had truly changed destiny.
But during this check-up, the doctor suddenly slammed the table in anger. "Why havent you been taking the medicine I prescribed? Now the baby has severe chest deformities, underdeveloped limbs, and is destined to be deformed at birth. Why didnt you listen?"
The doctor's words struck me like a bolt of lightning. Facing Hannah's reproachful gaze, all I wanted was to apologize.
But Hannah, just like in the previous life, coldly shook off my hand. "Mom, why did you harm me? The doctor clearly said taking the medicine on time could help, yet you insisted on those nutritional meals! You ruined my child, ruined our family!"
I didnt know how to explain, so I could only watch Hannah's back and cry in regret.
But before I could grieve for long, I once again heard Jenny's inner voice.
"My deformity isn't anyone's fault but my cheating dad. He cheated with someone else, causing Mom to inhale too much low-quality perfume, which led to this."
"My life is ruined, and Mom started blaming Grandma because of it. I really feel so sorry for Grandma. Who can help us?"
"Now my dad is still meeting his mistress at the hospital. If I go there, I can catch them red-handed and bring justice for Grandma!"
Jenny's inner voice seemed like a kind reminder, but every word was actually inciting me.
Thinking of the outcome in my previous life, I no longer dared to rush blindly to the hospital.
Since I can't change any of this, I'll stay away from them and stop interfering.
My happiness doesn't matter. As long as Hannah stays safe and nothing happens to her, it's enough that they're all okay.
I know Oliver isn't that kind of person. He's been in love with Hannah for over ten years, and now that she's finally pregnant, he takes care of her so cautiously every day. There's no way he would cheat.
In my previous life, I was blinded by anger. Now that I've been reborn, I've realized many things were off.
I packed my bags overnight and moved out of their house.
I no longer involve myself in their lives or ask about Hannah and her child.
A few weeks later, Hannah gradually came to terms with the reality of the fetal deformity and took the initiative to call for reconciliation.
Oliver has a stable job at the hospital and has never been involved in any scandals.
I breathed a sigh of relief and started living my life in peace. But I didnt move back to live with them, always keeping a certain distance.
But just when I thought I had finally rewritten the future, an accident happened again.
While I was busy doing housework, my phone suddenly rang, and at the same time, Jenny's inner voice came through once again.
She kept shouting for me to answer the phone quickly, saying something important had happened.
Thinking of all the experiences after answering the call in my previous life, I hesitated just as I was about to press the answer button.
But in those few seconds of hesitation, Hannah suddenly hung up the phone.
I called back, but no one answered.
I panicked immediately and hurriedly drove back to look for Hannah.
When I rushed home in a panic, I only saw Oliver lying in a pool of blood.
Just like in my previous life, a deranged woman had killed Oliver with a knife.
My chest ached, and before I could ask what happened, Hannah slapped me across the face.
She yelled angrily, "Why didn't you answer the phone? You ruined our family! First, you caused my child to be deformed, and now you've killed my husband. How dare you stand here?"
