Dealing with Mother-in-Law's Evil Swap1
My mother-in-law dreamed that a real dragon had crawled into her belly.
The next day, she tested positive for pregnancy with two lines.
I wanted to take her for a prenatal check-up, but she slapped me, angrily claiming I was trying to use radiation to kill her dragon prince.
No matter how I pleaded, she refused to go.
Feeling helpless, I went for the check-up alone.
Months later, I gave birth to a stillborn baby.
However, both the mother-in-law and her baby were safe.
From that moment on, I became the nanny for her and my father-in-law, living a dog's life.
Surprisingly, it was only when I was dying of cancer that I learned the child I saw every day was actually my own son.
I opened my eyes again, and I was reborn to the moment I had just become pregnant.

"Oh, dear daughter-in-law, this is wonderful news!"
My mother-in-law Tracy exclaimed, and her face creased with laughter.
"I dreamed that a real dragon entered my belly last night. It seems our family will have a dragon prince!"
She pulled me by the hand, laughing exaggeratedly, with spittle flying.
"Really? That's great!" I pretended to be overjoyed, spinning around several times.
In truth, I was just extremely excited to have been reborn.
I gently placed my hand on my small belly, feeling the unborn child.
Tracy had told me this in my previous life, saying that a dragon had entered her belly and the family would have a dragon prince.
Seeing how happy she was, I couldn't help but believe her a little.
From that day on, my father-in-law Wade and mother-in-law Tracy moved into my home, bringing my brother-in-law along.
When I suggested taking her for a check-up, she flew into a rage.
She jumped up and slapped me, angrily shouting, "No one ever got checked when pregnant in the past!"
Hospitals are all scams! TV said those things have radiation. You must want to kill my dragon prince!"
Seeing her ruthless gaze, I dared not persuade her further and could only go for the check-up alone.
My husband George was dispatched abroad and couldn't come back.
We could only communicate by phone, but Tracy took my phone away, hiding it under the pretext that radiation was bad for the child.
As the days passed, my belly grew large like a balloon.
Every day, I could feel the baby kicking, so lively.
Strangely, Tracy's belly also grew large, but without any fetal movement.
