06 90 % Every time Celeste prepared formula for me , she would take a sip after dripping some onto her arm , as if afraid I might test it myself .
Only after confirming it was salty would she hand it over .
I calmly accepted it , but as soon as she left , I poured it all out and breastfed my child instead if I hadnt already decided on a foolproof plan , I would have torn off all pretenses and kicked them out .
Not only did I refrain from telling Derek about my suspicions or what Celeste was doing , but I also reassured him that Celeste and Lessie were filled with regret .
hurt Because I was afraid Derek might do something drastic .
I wasnt worried about them getting But I couldnt let Derek end up in prison because of this .
Like a mother hen guarding her chick , I barely left my room .
Every time Lessie tried to persuade me to go for a walk , I claimed I wasnt feeling well and refused .
After about half a month , I voiced my concerns .
I dont know whats going on , but the baby hasnt been urinating much lately .
Should we take him to the hospital ? Celeste was so delighted that she could barely contain her smile .
Its fine , its normal for babies to pee less sometimes .
The formula was probably too thick .
Ill dilute it a little next time .
I appeared deeply worried , but under the combined persuasion of Lessie and Celeste , I gave up on the idea of taking my baby to the hospital .
Soon , Rickey started showing symptoms , just as I had predicted , his urine output decreased significantly .
I figured his kidneys were failing .
After all , consuming excessive salt at every meal , no babys kidneys could endure that for long .
less .
I felt no remorse at all .
Lessie sat in the living room , holding Rickey , while discussing with Celeste .
Mom , we should take him to the hospital .
Hes barely peeing , somethings definitely wrong ! Celeste hesitated .
Just two days ago, she had told me it was normal for babies to urinate Sensing that the timing was right , I stepped out of my room .
We should go to the hospital .
Might as well get both kids checked .
If somethings wrong , we need to know .
I pretended to reach for my phone to call Derek , but Celeste quickly snatched it from me .
What hospital ? Hospitals are full of germs ! The baby is fine , he just isnt eating enough .
Once he eats more , hell be fine .
Lessie and I exchanged the same concerned expression .
D But no matter what we said , Celeste refused to let us go to the hospital .
Instead , she stared blankly at the formula in the kitchen .
I guessed she was starting to doubt herself .

.90 % Knowing she would want to verify things , I quickly sent her out to buy some fruit .
Lessie , weighed down with worry , took the baby back to her room .
Like a thief , I dashed to the kitchen , dumped out Celestes formula , and opened a brand new can .
I poured some out , making sure it looked identical to before and then left the kitchen .
Just as I had expected, when Celeste returned , she first came to my room .
Seeing that I was asleep , she quietly shut the door .
I watched everything unfold on my phones surveillance feed .
Celeste made a bottle of her formula and drank a few sips , confirming there was no salty taste .
Immediately , she rushed to explain things to Lessie .
They kept their voices low , but I could still hear them .
If only one can have salt , then why is my baby also struggling to pee ? Celeste thought for a moment before replying , Maybe he just isnt drinking enough .
Dont worry , I always taste Angelines formula first to make sure its salty .
And her baby isnt peeing either , so how could I have made a mistake ? I remember perfectly .
I only put salt in one can .
How could both Angelines formula and yours be salty ? Only then did the two of them finally relax .
From now on , they wouldnt dare tamper with the formula again .
They would be much more cautious .
But it didnt matter , Rickey had already consumed too much salt and had received no medical treatment .
His condition wouldnt improve .
Sure enough , Rickeys situation worsened .
A week later , he couldnt urinate at all .
This time , no matter how much Celeste objected , Lessie insisted on taking him to the hospital .
I feigned deep concern and went along with them .
But as soon as we left , I dropped my son off at Dereks parents house .
I knew Rickeys fate was grim .
I was afraid they might take their anger out on my child , so I had to keep him safe .
Fredric and Grace were happy to help but found my request odd .
I simply told them that Rickey was unwell , and I was worried it might affect my baby , so I needed their help watching him .
When we arrived at the hospital , we walked in just in time to hear the doctor speaking to Lessie and Celeste with a grave expression .
Did you feed the baby salt ? His kidneys have completely failed .
Lessie fainted on the spot .
Celestes face turned deathly pale , and she stammered , S salt ? No , of course not ! Why would I give my own grandson salt ? Salt can kill an infant ! I sneered internally .
This is my mother .
She knew full well that I had treated her and Lessie with nothing but kindness .
But their greed was insatiable , they didnt just want kindness .
They wanted the best .

They wanted the best .
I rushed forward anxiously .
Doctor , my nephew hasnt been able to urinate for days .
J wanted to bring him to the hospital earlier , but my mom refused .
After they left , I got curious and checked the formula in the kitchen .
I found that it was salty ! The doctor , having encountered cases like this before , sighed after confirming the presence of salt .
You should prepare yourselves .
The situation … doesnt look good .
As soon as he finished speaking , Celeste collapsed .
