Dealing with Mother-in-Law's Evil Swap1
My mother-in-law dreamed that a real dragon had crawled into her belly.
The next day, she tested positive for pregnancy with two lines.
I wanted to take her for a prenatal check-up, but she slapped me, angrily claiming I was trying to use radiation to kill her dragon prince.
No matter how I pleaded, she refused to go.
Feeling helpless, I went for the check-up alone.
Months later, I gave birth to a stillborn baby.
However, both the mother-in-law and her baby were safe.
From that moment on, I became the nanny for her and my father-in-law, living a dog's life.
Surprisingly, it was only when I was dying of cancer that I learned the child I saw every day was actually my own son.
I opened my eyes again, and I was reborn to the moment I had just become pregnant.

"Oh, dear daughter-in-law, this is wonderful news!"
My mother-in-law Tracy exclaimed, and her face creased with laughter.
"I dreamed that a real dragon entered my belly last night. It seems our family will have a dragon prince!"
She pulled me by the hand, laughing exaggeratedly, with spittle flying.
"Really? That's great!" I pretended to be overjoyed, spinning around several times.
