The poor guy had to fall to his knees, swearing his eternal love, to help her breathe normally again.
Then the baby came, and my sister was born.
And the billionaire?
He didn't even look at her. He clutched his wife like she was the only thing in the world and cried like a man who'd just seen his life flash before his eyes.
"My love, you scared me half to death."
My sister, of course, started her usual snark:
[I'm your baby, remember? Not even a glance my way, and you're still putting on this act? And that saggy old cow actually buys it? What a joke. Someone hand her a mirror. She's not even close to being billionaire-wife material.]
Just like that, the billionaire's expression turned to stone.
He ordered the nurses to take her away.
And his wife?
She spiraled into a paranoid mess, convinced this 'baby' wasn't really a blessing, but some cursed, reincarnated mistress trying to seduce her man—a walking, squirming debt collector from a past life.
She was hated before she even opened her eyes.
But me? I was going to rewrite the story.
This time, they weren't just going to like me; they were going to love, adore, and protect me as if I were made of glass and sunshine.
A lovestruck billionaire and a sweet, gullible wife?
That's easy. I was built for this.
I fired up the Heart-Voice Skill again:
[Why are Daddy Leon and Mommy Judy crying because of me? No, no... I don't want them to cry. I have to be strong for them.]
I shifted around in the warm fluid, just enough to face the direction of the ultrasound probe. Then, with the steadiest grip my tiny baby hands could manage, I reached for the cord wrapped around my neck.
One loop. Two loops.
Slowly, carefully, I unwound it.
[All done! No more tears, Daddy and Mommy. Baby fixed the bad cord all by herself!]
Their eyes flew to the screen.
They leaned in close, both of them wide-eyed and barely breathing.
"Dr. Wilson, quick! Look at the screen! Is the cord gone? Did she just...?"
The entire medical team stood frozen, their voices shaking as they stared at the monitor, as if it were a live magic show.
"Mr. Gardner, Mrs. Gardner... this is a miracle!"
"Your daughter must have an incredible bond with you. She just unwrapped the cord herself."
"She's not just a baby. She's an angel. A genius little angel! Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Gardner!"
