Chapter 1

Less than a month after we got married, my husband was diagnosed with acute leukemia.

To save him, I underwent eight IVF cycles and had three miscarriages before finally getting pregnant.

When I was eight months pregnant, I accidentally discovered my husband's medical examination report.

The results showed that everything was normal.

It happened just a month ago.

I panicked as I touched my swollen belly and hurriedly wanted to find my husband to ask him what was going on.

When she arrived at her husband's office, she heard a familiar voice.

“Ethan Carter, you pretended to have leukemia so that Claire Bennett would willingly undergo IVF, and then you swapped Claire’s eggs to make her pregnant with your and Vanessa Bennett’s child, so that you could use the umbilical cord blood to save Vanessa!”

"Aren't you afraid that Claire will discover this secret after the baby is born?"

Ethan, however, didn't take it seriously.

“If Vanessa hadn’t been sick and needed umbilical cord blood to save her life, I would never have married her.”

"Besides, what can she do even if she finds out? She's already so pregnant, who else would want her besides me?"

Looking at that scheming man, I didn't hesitate to dial the hospital's appointment number.

"Hello, I would like to schedule an abortion."

……

I peeked through the half-open door and saw my parents sitting on the sofa.

"When Claire was brought back as the real heiress, she couldn't tolerate Vanessa, who was the fake heiress, and tried to drive her away time and time again. If she had known that the sick person was Vanessa, she definitely wouldn't have saved her!"

My mother sighed, a hint of resentment still lingering in her eyes.

Dad patted Mom's shoulder reassuringly and said something comforting.

"Claire is eight months pregnant now. Once she gives birth, we can save Vanessa!"

Vanessa leaned weakly against Ethan's chest, her voice sweet and coquettish.

"Ethan, you've done so much for me, aren't you afraid that my sister will divorce you if she finds out?"

When the word "divorce" was mentioned, Ethan tightened his grip on Vanessa's arm.

"If you hadn't gotten sick, and if her blood type hadn't been a match for yours, requiring her to get umbilical cord blood in your place, do you think I would have really married her?"

"Besides, she's already eight months pregnant, as fat as a pig, and her figure is seriously out of shape. Who else but me would want her?"

Ethan's words were like a knife stabbing into my heart, causing me unbearable pain.

To save him, I underwent IVF eight times in one year and experienced three miscarriages.

She also took a large amount of hormone medication, which caused her body shape to become severely out of shape.

After I got pregnant, Ethan and my parents were always worried that I wasn't getting enough nutrition, so they made me take lots of supplements every day, which caused the fetus to be too big.

In just five months, my belly was covered with ugly stretch marks.

I used to think they were just being considerate of my sacrifices.

Now I understand that all they care about is the umbilical cord blood in my womb that can save Vanessa.

I clenched my fists tightly, my back drenched in cold sweat, and fled the suffocating room as if I were escaping.

After calming down, I didn't hesitate to take out my phone and dial the hospital's appointment number.

"Hello, I would like to schedule an abortion."

I rushed to the hospital immediately; I was afraid I would go crazy if I stayed even a second longer.

The on-duty doctor at the hospital looked at my huge belly and repeatedly confirmed with me.

"You're already eight months pregnant. Are you sure you want to have an abortion now?"

Where is the child's father?

"Dead."

Since they want to use me as a container for Wen Yao's life-saving medicine.
