I had no opinion and I usually agreed to Edmond’s decisions. He had long been accustomed to the days when I listened to him.
In my previous life, I believed in Edmond and recruited Laurel into my family.
As a result, Laurel was too inexperienced and I had to remind her of many things.
When Edmond was not at home, she would go to the living room to watch TV and eat melon seeds. When Edmond came home, she would pretend to work seriously.
“Husband, our confinement nanny is not very professional. Why don’t we change one?”
I hinted to Edmond more than once.
“Laurel works so hard. Don’t scold her just because she is young.”
Edmond never tolerated me saying anything bad about Laurel.
Until that day, I saw Edmond and Laurel having sex on my bed in the surveillance video.
“I just went out for a pregnancy check-up. One of you is my husband and the other is my confinement nanny. You both said you were too busy to accompany me! As a result, you did this kind of thing on my bed at home!”
I pushed the surveillance video in front of the two of them. Edmond didn’t even explain. He just watched me go crazy and sighed helplessly.
“Sophie, I also need someone to take care of my physiological needs. There’s nothing I can do about it!”
Laurel hid behind Edmond, naked and said aggrievedly, “Sophie, you are pregnant and can’t take good care of Edmond. I’m helping you. How can you be so mean to him?”
I looked at them in disbelief.
“You… You guys!”
The baby in my belly seemed to know something and kicked my stomach crazily.
There was also blood flowing from my body.
When I woke up again, I was already in the ICU, being tortured repeatedly between severe pain and fainting.
In a daze, I heard the voice of my mother-in-law on the phone at the door, her tone was anxious.
“Is Edmond not back yet? Why is he still traveling with Laurel at this time! My grandson is about to be born!”
I stayed in the ICU to go through the gates of hell, but Edmond was traveling with her?
I sneered in my heart and another severe pain came.
The nurse who rescued me left the ward and took off her mask. My mother-in-law was outside, saying excitedly that she wanted to save the youngest one over the older one.
“The patient has died... one body and two lives.”
“Sophie, you…”
Edmond was stunned for a moment, then he began to persuade me.
“Laurel is young, but don’t underestimate her. She works very well.”
I woke up from my memories, suppressed the tears in my eyes and interrupted him, “Husband, why don’t you ask Mom to come to our house to take care of me?”
The mom I mentioned was naturally my mother-in-law.
I was carrying her grandson in my belly and asking her to watch over her was at least more reassuring than a stranger.
“But aren’t you the one who the least wants Mom to come to your house?”
Edmond was puzzled.
After I married him, my mother-in-law always made things difficult for me and our relationship was in deep trouble.
Every time she came to stay at home for two days, I couldn’t stand it.
I smiled, raising a decent and gentle smile.
“But she is your mother after all, husband. I want your mother to take care of the baby in my belly. She must be willing to do so.”
Edmond’s eyes softened and he hugged me with emotion.
“Sophie, you are still filial. You are the woman I love most in this life.”
My eyes were cold.
When the child was born, I would leave him and this family completely.
