My son had an asthma attack , and I calmly watched him suffocate to death My three year old son , Ethan , was having an asthma attack .
I watched him struggling to breathe , his face turning blue .
But this time , I didnt panic .
Last time this happened , it changed my life forever .
My husband , David , had died , leaving me to raise Ethan alone .
I worked three jobs , slept four hours a night , all to pay for his medical bills .
Then one morning , while sweeping the streets before dawn , a truck hit me .
At the hospital , Ethan refused treatment for me .
He pulled the plug .
Thats when I found out he wasnt my son .
My sister , Jessica , confessed , Surprise ! I switched the babies at birth ! Hahaha ! L You spent your life savings on my son .
Your real son ? I … took care of him .
Lets just say he wont be bothering anyone anymore .
I died , furious , watching her sell my house , living the happy family life Id craved .
Now , I was back .
Reborn on the day Ethan first had an attack .
Mommy , hold me ! Cough , cough ! Mommy , help ! It hurts ! Ethans cries echoed .
I sat up , instantly alert .
It was real .
I was back .
Back to the moment that ruined me .
He was only three .
His first asthma attack .
His little face was red , his lips turning purple .
In my past life , Id been so focused on saving Davids only child , I never questioned why Ethan had asthma .
Its usually genetic , and neither David nor I had it .
Ethans cries intensified .
I got out of bed .
I looked at him struggling on the floor .
I smiled .
I didnt pick him up .
く Instead , I opened my phone , calmly recorded a video , and sent it to Jessica .
Jess , whats wrong with Ethan ? He keeps calling for his Aunt Jessie .
I sent the message , tossed the phone aside .
Ethans face grew paler .
He couldnt speak , just gasped for air , eyes wide .
It hurt , a little , to watch .
Even knowing he wasnt mine , I had some feelings for him .
But hed unplugged me .
Smirked while I died .
Hed said , Youre not my mom .
Wasting money on you is stupid ! Thats how I learned the truth .
The child Id saved with Davids life insurance and three back breaking jobs , was my sisters .
Switched at birth .
Jessica used my money to save her son .
Theyd known each other all along , waiting for me to die so they could take Davids house .
Then I remembered Jessicas other badly .
Left him … somewhere he wouldnt be found .
Panic set in .

I grabbed my phone , dialed 911 .
Just then , pounding on the door .
Ashley ! Open up ! Jessica .
Here already .
Like mother , like son .
I waited a beat , then opened the door.
Jessica shoved past me , rushing inside .
She saw Ethan convulsing on the floor , and screamed .
Ashley ! What are you doing ? Hes dying ! Get him to the hospital ! Before , even a cough from Ethan had me sleepless .
Id practically lived at the hospital until they kicked us out .
But Id died once .
I knew Jessicas game .
I wasnt falling for it again .
I shrugged .
You know , David and I were so in love .
These past three years have been hell .
Ive wanted to join him for a while now .
< This is … good .
Once Ethans gone , Ill … join him .
Well be a family again , down below .
I faked a sob , continued , Youre just in time to … take care of things .
Make sure were buried together , the three of us … Jessica stared , horrified .
Like I was a monster .
Youre heartless ! Hes your son ! Ill save him ! She lunged for Ethan , but I blocked her .
Hes my son .
What do you think youre doing ? She stomped her foot , eyes blazing.
How can you be so cruel ? Hes a human being ! Oh , her sons life mattered .
But mine didnt ? Did she think about that when she … got rid of him ? I ignored her , watched them both .
Jessica wouldnt take Ethan while I was here .
Then , movement outside .
A figure burst in , scooped up Ethan , and ran .
Jessica , what are you waiting for ?! Hes foaming at the mouth ! I watched them go , a chill gripping me .
That was my mom .
Always favored Jessica .
I didnt mind the favoritism .
But shed helped switch the babies .
Let Jessica … do what she did to my son .
The thought made me tremble .
Her daughters .
Her grandsons .
How could she ?
