“Mom, I was just too tense earlier. I feel much better now. “
After confirming the baby was safe, she turned and berated the locksmith company’s staff.
“Nineteen, eighteen, seventeen..”
Before I could finish the countdown, sharp pains shot through my lower body and a fine cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
“Will you ever stop? It’s your faulty installation, not the company’s fault!”
The technician’s retort only fueled my mother-in-law’s rage.
She already had a short temper and after this incident, her mood was shattered to the point of rage. She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to strike.
Seeing this, I stepped forward to block her, my stomach throbbing painfully. With a thud, she pushed me away, slamming me against the wall.
“Ah! Ah! My stomach hurts so much!”
Seeing the crimson stains seeping from my lower body, Natalie’s face turned ashen.
“Mom, my stomach hurts so much. The baby... is the baby going to be lost?”
The premature contraction was so painful that I was sweating profusely. Natalie froze in place, frozen with fear.
“Mom, hurry to the hospital! Hurry up and save the baby!”
She kept calling Lorenzo. “Why aren’t you answering the call? The baby might be in danger!”
