Chapter 3

After parting ways with Megan, I turned into a nearby pharmacy.

On the pretext of insomnia, I bought two boxes of diazepam.

I ground them into powder and mixed them into the girls' rice.

The medication was potent; halfway through their meal, both of them successively retreated to their bedrooms.

After confirming there was no movement behind their doors, I quietly pushed one open, blood collection tubes in hand.

Carefully, I inserted the needle into Skylar's arm.

After drawing the blood, I put away the needle and prepared to leave.

My gaze fell upon Brianna nearby.

Seeing her still-not-showing belly, I redirected my steps.

Two minutes later, I placed the tubes containing their blood into a pre-prepared sealed bag.

I then went to the bathroom and also put Daniel's toothbrush into the bag.

After the delivery driver left with the package, I sent Megan a message.

"And while you're at it, please run a paternity test for me."

Megan messaged me back as soon as she received the package.

"Got it. Results in a week."

Time quickly advanced to the day of the physicals.

As usual, after smilingly sending the girls out, Daniel came forward to support me as I felt about to collapse.

"You look terrible. Are you feeling unwell?"

I waved him off, my gaze fixed on the wall clock.

At 11:30 AM, my phone rang precisely.

It was the homeroom teacher.

"Is this Skylar and Brianna's parent?"

"Yes, it is."

"Well, during the Freshman Orientation Week physical today, the doctor found that both of your daughters are pregnant."

I calmly let out a breath.

"I understand, Teacher. Where are the girls now?"

"They're already on their way home."

Seemingly afraid I might do something drastic, the teacher tried to console me for a few more moments before hanging up.

"What happened? Why do you look so upset?" Daniel asked.

I looked at him, my voice sharper than usual. "Today's physicals. Your daughters tested positive for pregnancy."

"What?!" Daniel was shocked. "Which one?"

"Both of them."

Daniel's face instantly turned as black as thunder.

I stared at him for a long moment but still couldn't bring myself to tell him about being reborn.

It was simply too unbelievable.

I could only reassure him that what's done is done, and I would talk to the girls properly when they returned.

Just as I was speaking, the doorbell rang.

The sisters appeared at the doorstep.

Daniel's eyes were almost spitting fire.

I stepped forward to take their backpacks, my expression grim.

"The teacher just called. She said you two are pregnant. What's going on?"

Brianna burst into tears.

"Mom... I'm so sorry..."

Skylar stepped forward, shielding Brianna behind her.

"Mom, it's already happened. Brianna is still young, please don't blame her."

My gaze lingered on Skylar.

I said coldly, "You're right, it's already happened. So, tell me, who are the fathers of the children?"

Brianna blushed and glanced at Skylar.

She shook her head, slightly shyly.

Skylar bit her lower lip, refusing to speak.

"Speak up!"

Daniel, unaware of the full truth, paced anxiously.

He wanted to break the necks of those brats who had messed with his daughters.

No one spoke.

I looked at these two faces, which had ruined Daniel and my lives in the previous life, my heart brimming with hatred.

After a long pause, Skylar shook her head.

"I... I don't know..."

I sighed, looking at Brianna with disappointment.

"I... I don't know either..."

Daniel angrily kicked the wall.

Having learned from my previous life, I didn't press any further.

I confiscated both of their electronic devices, citing their studies, and sent them back to their bedrooms to rest.

Daniel's face was pale with worry, and he asked me tremblingly what we should do.

I looked at the empty chat window and reassured him. "Just wait a little longer."

Soon, they would reap what they had sown.
