The man on the other end sounded way too calm, unhurriedly explaining, “I’m very sorry, but the baby you’re carrying is indeed mine. The doctor made a mistake during the procedure… and this is the result.”

Then he added, “Because of my family situation, I need a child—and a wife. I believe you could also use my help right now.”

When I heard that, my heart dropped so hard it felt like it hit the floor.

In the dead silence, the only thing I could hear was my own strangled voice.

“Who exactly are you? Why do you know so much?”

The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then explained everything clearly to me.

Because of my health issues, when Conrad said he wanted a baby with me, I was so excited.

But for some reason, years passed and I still couldn’t get pregnant.

Back then, I was very discouraged. Now, it seems that everything had been planned by Conrad and Estelle from the very beginning.

Because she was afraid of pain and didn’t want to give birth, they decided it would be simpler to let me be the surrogate.

And it was exactly because of this that I prepared for pregnancy for several years but still couldn’t get pregnant.
