Chapter 2

Under the hospital's cold lighting, the entire family's eyes were glued to Mom's slightly swollen abdomen.

I shyly curled up and rolled half a circle in the warm womb.

[So many people are staring at me~ I'm getting embarrassed!]

Dad and Marcus's bodies both trembled imperceptibly at the same time. Grandpa and Grandma also exchanged surprised glances. They all clearly heard this sweet, childish complaint.

Delia remained completely oblivious, only puzzled by everyone's suddenly even more bizarre silence.

The dagger in Dad's hand clattered to the floor.

He stared fixedly at Mom's belly, his expression gradually changing from sinister to uncertain and suspicious.

Mom looked up at him and asked in confusion.

"What fake pregnancy? William, are you just too excited about becoming a father?"

"And Mom, Dad, Marcus, why do you all look so terrible? Aren't you happy that I'm pregnant?"

No one present paid attention to Mom's confusion. Their eyes were filled only with deep resentment.

"Doctor!" Dad suddenly shouted toward the door. "Schedule a prenatal checkup for her immediately. A full examination!"

The fake daughter Delia quickly grabbed Dad's sleeve, her voice tinged with urgency.

"William, didn't you see with your own eyes in the past life that her big belly was stuffed with a pillow? Plus, the private doctor I found earlier clearly said she wasn't pregnant. Why check again?"

Hearing this, my little feet gently kicked against the uterine wall.

[Delia is lying again. In the past life, Mom was definitely pregnant with me, but she was pushed down the stairs by bad people and lost me.]

[I could only become a little ghost to wipe Mom's tears.]

[I pounded with my little hands until they were sore just to get this chance to be reborn and return to the womb.]

Thinking of this, my nose tingled. I couldn't help but nuzzle the uterine wall gently like a little kitten.

[Don't be afraid, Mom. This time I'll definitely protect you. I'm looking forward to seeing this world and meeting Mom and Dad.]

"Shut up, everyone shut up!" Dad suddenly covered his ears, his pupils constricting violently as he stared at Mom's belly.

"Doctor! Immediately, right now, prenatal examination!"

Delia's eyes flashed with panic. Marcus couldn't help but furrow his brow.

During the examination, when the cold coupling gel touched Mom's belly, I curiously twisted.

[Wow! The cool gel is like jelly~ Is the doctor using the probe to find me? I'm here, I'm here! Let William see me!]

Dad unconsciously held his breath, staring intently at the screen.

Marcus also unconsciously stepped forward half a step. Grandpa and Grandma clenched their hands even tighter.

The ultrasound machine beeped once, and the screen showed a little bean-sized outline actively kicking its legs.

"Fourteen weeks pregnant, fetal heartbeat monitoring normal." The doctor pushed up his glasses. "Vivian is indeed pregnant, and the baby is very healthy and active."
