Then they buried me in the field and used me as fertilizer, but they told others that I had gone to work in a distant city.

Now, looking at my well-prepared sister-in-law, I know that I have been reborn.

I was reborn on the same day that I convinced Cathy to go to the hospital for a checkup.

I smiled, took Cathy's bag, and drove the tricycle out.

We soon arrived at the entrance of the hospital, but I didn't stop, which surprised Cathy.

"Sophia, we have already passed the hospital, didn't you see it?"

I continued driving nonchalantly.

"Cathy, I thought about it carefully last night, and what you and Mom said is right. The baby is already so big, what could be the problem? No need to check, the women in our family have never been so delicate. Just wait for my chubby nephew to be born safely!"

I noticed that Cathy's face relaxed, and she was delighted with what I said.

"Exactly, last night when you insisted on getting a check-up, I was also worried. I didn't want to disappoint your kindness, so I agreed to come with you. But actually, I also think what Mom said is right. My body is not that delicate."

"That's good. Then let's go into town and take a leisurely stroll."

We rode an electric tricycle around the city aimlessly, and I bought a lot of clothes for the baby.

We were in high spirits all the way back home until it was almost noon.

As soon as we entered the house, I gulped down a bucketful of cold water from the well.

Cathy also stretched out her hand to scoop some, but my mother slapped her hand.

"You've been rambling around all morning. How dare you drink cold water? Do you want to kill my grandson? Here, drink this!" said my mother, as she handed Cathy a bowl of medicine.

I knew that it was the concoction that my mother had been making by hand for Cathy since she became pregnant.

She said it was good for the baby, and it was so bitter that Cathy had to hold her nose every time she drank it.

Cathy was sweating profusely and looked very pained as she drank the medicine. My mother then slapped me on the back of my head.

"Look at you, you can't even behave during summer vacation. If you accidentally hurt my grandson, I won't spare you!"

I sighed in my heart. How my mother kept mentioning her grandson all the time.

I wondered what she would think if she knew that Cathy's belly contained nothing but a stone.
