All Chapters of Hearing My Unborn Baby's Voice: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

'If you go through with the early C-section, both of us—mother and daughter—will die!' the soft and sweet voice said.I sat in the wheelchair, and the words sent a jolt through my whole body. In my last life, the cry for help I'd heard had always, unmistakably, come from a boy. So why was there suddenly a girl's voice now—and where was it even coming from?Before I could puzzle it out, my husband, Jason Rexmonde, grabbed my wrist. "The doctor says the baby's already showing signs of respiratory distress. The surgical team's prepped and ready. We need to go, now!"'His illegitimate son is dying, and he needs my cord blood to save him. Mommy, please don't say yes,' came the little girl's voice.I frowned. A second later, the baby nurse, Chloe Watts, chimed in urgently. "Ma'am, there's no more time. Any longer and the baby will die!"The little girls sounded again in my mind, 'It's their baby who'll die if you wait any longer. That's why she's so desperate.'After you die, they'll s

I ignored the voices and got straight into the car. Jason and Chloe rode with me the whole way, both of them visibly tense, until we reached the hospital.The doctor checked my fetal heart rate as usual, then handed me my file. "The results will take a while. Why don't you wait outside?"Jason caught my hand gently. "Miley, the baby can't wait, even if you can. You're not going to abort her just because she's a girl, are you?"The question caught me off guard. "I never said I'd abort her for being a girl. I just want to know my baby's gender."The doctor glanced at my stomach, his tone edged with disapproval. "You're six months along. What good does knowing the gender do you now?"I stayed quiet. I knew exactly what he was thinking—that I was the kind of woman who'd abort a daughter this far along."You're already six months pregnant, and you're in such a rush to find out the sex. If it turns out to be a girl, are you planning to terminate? That's against the law this late in a p

At that, Denise burst into tears. "Miley, what are you saying? Jamie's been faithful to you since the day you married him. He loves you—how could he ever hurt you?"It was probably just the nurse getting flustered and mixing up the reports by mistake. I've prayed every single day since you got pregnant that you and the baby would both come through safe. I swear to God, our family has always cared about you!"A woman nearly seventy years old, sobbing on her knees—the crowd around us couldn't help but soften at the sight.Chloe seized the moment, grabbing my hand with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry, ma'am. It was my carelessness that got the report mixed up. Blame me if you want, but everything I did, I did for you and the baby." She looked me in the eye and lowered her voice. "You heard the doctor yourself back at the house—he said the baby was suffocating. We brought you here to save both your lives."I looked down at her for a long moment, then nodded. "You're right."Chloe's

Watching Jason's composure finally shatter, I let a faint smile curve my lips."Whether that recording's authentic is something the court can verify. But you know as well as I do—every word on it came out of your own mouth. You're the one who orchestrated all of this. As for the recording—Chloe handed it to me herself."Jason looked like he'd been struck by lightning.The truth was, Jason had targeted Chloe as his mistress in the first place specifically because she knew hypnosis. He'd always been a master at manipulating people, and he'd understood exactly how far Chloe would go to protect their illegitimate son—far enough to take the fall for his crimes. Even if things fell apart and Chloe turned on him at the last second, he could still lean on her hypnosis skills to paint himself as nothing more than an accomplice.But for all his scheming, Jason had never imagined that a meek, obedient country girl like Chloe would think to secretly record him as insurance against his betrayal
