03 When I first got pregnant , I craved my moms slow cooked ribs .
I called her , acting spoiled , hoping shed come to stay with me for a few days and cook for me .
But she firmly refused .
She scolded me for being selfish .
Lessie was pregnant and needed her , and since I was wealthy , I should just hire a nanny to take care of me .
Now that she was suddenly offering , I didnt even have to think twice to know she had ulterior motives .
I was sure they were planning to keep persuading me to have a C section so they could go through with their baby swapping scheme .
There was no way Id agree to let two criminals live in my house .
No.
Im not used to sharing my space with others .
My mother immediately lost her temper .
What do you mean others ? Im your mother ! I raised you ! Lessie is carrying your late brothers child , hes the only bloodline of the Caldwell family ! This is my house .
You have your own place , dont you ? If you think its too far from the hospital , then stay at a hotel .
I opened the door , making a gesture toward the exit .
If you think your house is too far from the hospital , you can stay at a hotel .
Lessie exchanged a look with Celeste .
Celeste instantly understood and collapsed onto the floor .
Oh , my dear , look at your daughter ! Living in a mansion but refusing to let us stay ! Malcolm , just take me and your wife and child away .
We two women simply cant survive on our own ! If this continued , the neighbors would probably call the police .
Derek hurried outside to shield me , Alright , alright .
Angelines pregnant and not in a good mood .
Dont argue with her .
fill go get a room ready for you .
Feeling satisfied with the outcome , Celeste smiled and immediately got up from the floor .
Ill take care of it myself , Derek .
You should get some rest .
In the following days , Lessie and Celeste nagged at me relentlessly , constantly urging me to have a C section .
I pretended not to hear them and firmly insisted on a natural birth .
As time passed , Lessies face darkened more and more .
But there was nothing she could do .
She couldnt exactly knock me out and drag me to surgery .
No matter what happened this time , I would not give birth on the same day as her , I had to protect my child .
The days passed quickly , and soon , it was the day Lessie went into labor .
Panicking , she turned to me .
Angeline , call an ambulance ! My water just broke ! I stared at the puddle on the floor and remained still .
1 I had always believed that as long as we didnt give birth on the same day , the babies wouldnt be switched .
And if my child hadnt switched , then the tragedy wouldnt happen .
But now , looking at Lessies pale face , a sudden thought flashed through my mind .

Angeline , call an ambulance ! My water just broke ! I stared at the puddle on the floor and remained still .
I had always believed that as long as we didnt give birth on the same day , the babies wouldnt be switched .
And if my child hadnt switched , then the tragedy wouldnt happen .
But now , looking at Lessies pale face , a sudden thought flashed through my mind .
If Lessie died right now , that ungrateful little bastard Rickey would never be born ! I wondered , If I delay her trip to the hospital , would she… die ? Before I could act , Celeste quickly packed up and called an ambulance .
Then , seeing me standing there like a statue , she snapped , What are you doing ? Why are you just standing there ? Lessie didnt say a word .
Instead , she pushed Celestes hand away , pretending to walk toward the door , only to suddenly lunge at me , crushing me under her weight .
I had no time to react and was hit head on .
The sharp pain and shock overwhelmed me , and I lost consciousness instantly .
When I woke up , I was already in the hospital .
Derek and his parents were surrounding me .
Before I could speak , Derek quickly said , You feel at home .
Fortunately , Celeste called for help and got you to the hospital .
The doctors performed a C section , and the baby is healthy .
Did I fall ? I thought to myself .
My memory was blurry .
I remembered standing there perfectly fine .
How could I have fallen ? Could it be … ? I mused .
I struggled to see my baby .
With just one glance , I nearly passed out again .
That baby was Rickey .
In the end , they still swapped my child .
