I had been living at my mother-in-law's house for a few months, and I hadn't heard any news from my sister. I thought she had already left.
One day, while I was helping my mother-in-law with some chores, someone suddenly burst in.
"Your mother is having a difficult labor; you need to go see her!"
Upon hearing this news, my heart tightened.
Although I didn't have much affection for that mother, I could still feel my sister's presence.
So, I hurried back home.
As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw my mother in excruciating pain.
She lay on the bed, her forehead glistening with sweat, her hands gripping the sheets tightly.
When she saw me enter, a spark ignited in her previously vacant eyes.
"You... you..."
Suddenly, she grabbed something nearby and threw it at me.
"Get out! Just get out!"
"All of you, get out!"
It seemed she suddenly realized something, and her expression turned to one of sheer terror.
I couldn't understand why she had transformed so dramatically.
Had she discovered my sister within me?
Just as I was pondering this, my mother let out a piercing scream.
Then a surge of blood erupted from beneath the covers.
The midwife excitedly lifted the child into her arms.
"Wonderful! It's a boy!"
She happily brought the baby to the mother's side, eager for her to see the son she had just given birth to.
"Look! This is the root of you and the Old Xue Family!"
"You can look forward to a life of comfort from now on!"
However, the mother's expression was one of deep resistance as she gazed at the child in the midwife's arms.
She struggled desperately to distance herself from the baby, as if she had seen some monstrous beast.
Seeing the mother's reaction, the midwife quickly tried to comfort her.
"What’s wrong? This is your root with the Old Xue Family!"
"You’ve waited so many years, and finally, you have a son!"
"From now on, you’ll be able to live a good life!"
As she spoke, the midwife attempted to place the child beside the mother.
But the mother forcefully pushed her away, reaching out towards the child's neck!
"This child is not of the Old Xue Family!"
"He is a monster! I want to kill him!"
The mother's hoarse voice startled the midwife.
She quickly snatched the baby back into her arms.
"What are you talking about?"
"This child is clearly your own!"
"He looks just like you!"
The Midwife tried to persuade the mother to accept the child.
After all, this was the last bit of bloodline she had with her husband!
The mother struggled desperately to snatch the child back, but the Midwife held onto him tightly.
As the two continued their argument, the child suddenly let out a sharp laugh.
Hearing that sound, the Midwife's expression changed instantly!
It seemed she realized something and quickly set the child aside.
"I'll leave this child in your care."
"Take good care of him."
With that, she hurriedly left the room.
I looked at my brother lying on the bed, feeling a mix of emotions.
Although he was my biological brother, he was also the one who took my sister away.
I didn't know how to face him.
Just as I hesitated, my brother suddenly chuckled a couple of times.
I looked down and found him giggling at me.
His eyes were a deep crimson red!
In an instant, I realized the truth!
My sister had been waiting for this day to come!
She had gone to great lengths to return to her own body!
And now I finally understood why the Son of Fortune Doll had always remained in our home!
She wanted to witness her mother suffer beyond comprehension!
In fact, the Son of Fortune Doll had already taken revenge on my father.
But why hadn’t she left?
Was it because of me?
My little brother cried out in hunger, unable to get any milk.
Yet it seemed as if our mother didn’t hear him, allowing him to wail endlessly.
I couldn’t bear to watch any longer and decided to seek help from our grandparents.
With my brother in my arms, making my way to their house was exhausting, and I was drenched in sweat.
