The Child in My Belly and I were Killed

In my last life, I kindly helped Tim Smith to apply for the university.

With my advice, he was successfully admitted to his favorite university.

After entering college, Tim completely indulged himself.

He frequently skipped classes and failed exams. After four years of college, he didn't even get his diploma.

Seeing his classmates had a good future, Tim began to regret it.

He blamed me for letting him enroll in a college and major that he didn't like.

Tracy Smith even said that if it weren't for me, Tim would definitely have been able to attend Harvard University.

Later, Tim, urged by his mother, pushed me down the stairs.

Both me and the baby in my belly lost our lives.

When I woke up again, I found myself back on the day when Tim was applying for the university.

"Sophia, you are very knowledgeable. Can you help me with my application?" Tim, with a green face, put the guide in front of me.

This time, I didn't want to meddle in his business.

Respecting other people's destinies was a mandatory lesson for me to take in this life.

——

"Sophia, the class teacher said I did well in the exam, but there are some restrictions on top universities and good majors. You are a high school teacher, can you give me some advice?" Tim put a thick college application guide in front of me.

I froze for a few seconds and finally reacted to the fact that I had been reborn.

Tim's SAT results were out.

And now this scene was exactly the same as the last life.

Tracy was in the living room cheerfully reporting the good news on the phone with her relatives.

Tim, on the other hand, sincerely asked me to help him with his college application.

In order to help him choose a desired university, I worked during the day and stayed up late at night to look up information.

I also consulted with my colleagues and finally helped Tim to choose his desired university.

Later, Tim was successfully admitted to an Ivy League university.

After studying hard for three years, Tim completely relaxed in college.

He went from skipping classes at the beginning to frequently failing courses later on, even missing exams.

I advised him to prioritize his studies.

But Tracy said that once he got into university, he couldn't be expelled.

Yes, what Tracy said was quite right.

He wouldn't be expelled, but he would drop out.

After four years of college, Tim didn't even get a diploma.

His classmates all had bright futures, while Tim could only rely on his parents at home.

He didn't look for reasons from himself.

Instead, he blamed all his unhappiness on the choices I made for him.

Tracy also said that if it weren't for me interfering, her son would have been admitted to Harvard University long ago.

I complained to my husband, Noah Smith.

"Who told you to meddle? Now that things have turned out like this, isn't it your responsibility?" Noah was playing with his cell phone and didn't even raise his head, let alone say a few words for me.

Funny!

They were the ones who begged me to help them apply for college in the first place.

My choice didn't have the slightest problem, and it could even be said to be perfect.

It was Tim who was lazy and didn't get ahead.

Now he blamed me.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't let me choose this shitty school, I wouldn't even have gotten my diploma!" Tim accused me with red eyes after coming back from a classmate gathering.

I had yet to react.

Before I could react, he pushed me down the stairs.

I was unsteady on my feet and rolled straight down.

In a daze, I heard Tracy's fierce voice.

"Leave her alone! It's good that she's in pain! Who let this unlucky woman ruin all the good luck of my youngest son? She's just a burden! What bad luck!" Tracy stood with her hands on her hips, watching.

When I woke up again, I was back to four years ago, when Tim had just received his SAT scores.

This time, I would definitely respect his fate.

"Sophia, you're the most educated person in our family and you are a teacher. You have to pay attention to Tim's affairs!" Tracy reminded me.

"Choosing a major requires expertise, not just a high education. I can't handle this. You should find an outside agency to help you." With the lessons of my last life, I didn't want to get into this mess.

"Hey, as a sister-in-law, why don't you help at all? Tim respects you so much!" Tracy was unhappy.

"Yes, Sophia, didn't you help your sister apply for college last year? Her school and major are both good. Why don't you help me?" Tim also said sarcastically.

Funny!

I helped my sister and she knew to be grateful.

What about you, Tim?

"What if the application is not successful?" I deliberately asked.

"What? Tim scored so high. How could he not be admitted?" Tracy immediately raised her voice.

"Exactly, how come your sister, a girl, can go to a good university, but I can't?" Tim said disdainfully.

There were things you really couldn't.

My sister was gifted and smart, and extremely self-disciplined.

So she got scholarships every year in college.

After graduation, she also found a high-paying job.

Tim was different.

In his senior year of high school, Tim said he was under a lot of pressure and didn't want to live in the dormitory.

So Tracy took it upon herself to let him move into our house.

Although I had objections in my heart, I thought it was the last year, so I endured it and let it pass.

From then on, Tracy used my high education as an excuse to ask me to help Tim with his studies.

Sometimes I taught him math, and sometimes even physics and English.

I was already tired when I came back from a day's work, and I was really exhausted when I had to tutor a senior student.

However, I was slightly relieved to see that Tim, who was originally an intermediate student, saw his grades improved under my tutoring.

In this way, I spent a whole year on tutoring.

During the SAT, Tim performed exceptionally well.

He was always bad at math, but he unexpectedly scored the highest score in history.

"Tim is really smart! I know boys have great potential. I didn't waste a year smashing walnuts for you!" Tracy couldn't stop smiling.

"Tim, you are really clever, much stronger than those girls!" Noah looked at me with a meaningful glance.

Well.

The whole family completely ignored my efforts.

They attributed all of Tim's achievements to his intelligence and hard work.

All the things from my last life surfaced in my mind, I was really an afterthought.

It took me a new life to see this family's true colors.

"Since Tim is so talented, there should be no problem with choosing his own major, right?" I looked at Tim with a fake smile.

"Besides, Tim has such a high score. He can choose any top university in the country. Just find a good one!" I praised Tim enthusiastically.

The best way to ruin a person was to praise them.

"Sophia, you are a teacher after all. You must understand..." Tracy wanted to give me credit.

"Mom, that's enough! I can handle such a simple matter myself! Don't bother Sophia!" Tim interrupted his chatty mother.

Tim didn't test particularly high.

In my previous life, I tried my best to find a relatively unpopular university for him.

That was how he got into his desired major.

This time, I'd like to see what Tim could do on his own.

In the last few days of applications, I went back to my parents' home.

I had mixed feelings when I saw my parents with gray hair.

My mom asked me why I suddenly came back.

"I miss you." I hugged my mother from behind, afraid that she would see the tears in my eyes.

In my last life, after getting married, I rarely went back to my parents' home due to busy work.

After Tim moved in, I was even busier on weekends tutoring him.

Before I was pushed down the stairs, my mom even told me to come home for dinner, saying she wanted to cook me a big meal.

Unfortunately, before I could eat the meal, I was separated from my parents forever.

I couldn't imagine how heartbroken my parents would have been after hearing the news.

Looking back now, I was really unfilial.

"Honey, why haven't you come home yet?" My husband, Noah, called.

"I'm going to stay at my parents' for a few days."

"You're married. Why are you still staying at your parents' house? Don't you have a place to stay?" Noah scolded me.

I didn't realize he was so macho before.

I was a local resident and a postgrad.

Noah was from the countryside and only went to a community college.

At first, he pursued me crazily. I thought he was down-to-earth and hardworking, and he treated me well.

Although he was a bit poor, both of us had jobs. We didn’t need to worry about not earning money in the future.

My parents and friends were not optimistic about our relationship.

I married Noah in spite of the pressure from many people.

Looking back now, I must have been out of my mind.

"Sophia, today is the last day for the college application. Won't you come back and help Tim with some advice?" Noah softened his tone when he saw that I didn't speak.

It turned out that there was still a request for me.

"I told you that I didn't know about it. If you can't handle it, find an agency!" After I said that, I hung up the phone.

"How much money do we have to spend to find an agency? It's a waste of money." Noah continued to chatter on the other end of the phone.

I hung up directly.

To prevent him from harassing me again, I turned off my phone.

After the SAT, Tim had been addicted to his phone and hadn't even looked at any of the college applications.

In the last two days, it would be a miracle that he was able to apply successfully.

People who were not self-disciplined were reborn the same several times.

After staying at my parents' place for two days, I went to work with full energy.

Afraid that my parents would worry about my relationship with Noah, I still went back to my own home after work.

Unexpectedly, before I even entered the house, I heard Tracy's loud voice.

"Noah, you have to hurry up and get your wife pregnant. What if she runs away with someone else?"

"Don't worry, Mom. I have a plan. She definitely won't be able to escape from my grasp!"

"After Sophia gets pregnant, we can ask her parents to quickly buy another house. Your younger brother is already in college and will soon be getting married. We can't have nowhere to live by then!" Tracy said.

"Yeah, Noah. I can't even stretch my legs in that small bedroom. It's so cramped!" said Tim.

"I know! You little brat! Once her parents die, everything will be ours. We'll have money, and we won't have to worry about the house!" Noah said with a smug tone, making me want to go in and slap him a few times.

When we got married, Noah said his family was poor.

He said it wasn't easy for his mother to raise two children on her own.

My parents were generous. Not only did they not ask for the bride price, but they also gave us a down payment on a suite.

Now their whole family had moved in and they still wanted our family to buy another one.

Did they want my family to buy a house for Tim?

I had never seen someone so shamelessly.

"Noah, you have to hurry up. Sophia is almost 30 this year. If the first child is a girl, you'll have to have a second one. Our family can't end with you!"

"Mom, this is not up to me! If Sophia can't give birth, we can still find someone else..." Noah said proudly.

"What? Noah, have you found someone outside? You are really impressive! Tracy, learn from your brother!" Tracy's excited voice came out of the room.
