Chapter 138
15 years ago, in the hospital, a man said, “The child must be born naturally, because only babies delivered this way are the healthiest and most perfect.”
Another man sas, “That family’s children are exceptionally gifted; every boy is a prodigy. The mother’s genes are incredibly rare and valuable. A baby girl born from such a umum will have the most perfect combination of both parents‘ genes
“We must ensure this baby girl is born perfectly, no matter the cost?
In the delivery room, the doctor said. “Bad news. The mother is hemorrhaging heavily. The rear in the wound is too large, and the bleeding stop, the doctor kald

Chinside the corridor, the crowd surged
The usually composed man let out a heart–wrenching, furious cry, while the children’s anguished screams echoed loudly. “Why did it turn out like thes! Didn’t you say everything was fine! 11 a natural birth wasn’t possible, why didn’t we go for a C–section earlier? Why… why?”

Rachel recalled that tragic and hopeless day, feeling a chill run through her. Everything was too chaotic.
She knew Emily was supposed to give birth that day, so she went to accompany her. At the same time, Rachel had a troubling secret she couldn’t tell anyone she was pregunt
After drunkenly losing her virginity at a nightclub, Rachel woke up in a hotel room, blood stains on the bed. The man who had assaulted her had disappeared without a trace. Even the security footage couldn’t help, as the cameras on the way to the hotel had mysteriously malfunctioned
When Rachel found out she was pregnant, she was terrified. Solana already disapproved of her, and if she found out about the pregnancy, Rachel was sure she would be killed So, she didn’t dare tell Solana.
At home, Emily was the closest person to her.
Although they were raised in a family that valued sons over daughters, Emily had always lived confidently and beautifully, carefree and optimistic Rachel envied Emily, but at the same time, it was only when she was around Emily that she could find a brief moment of peace.
Rachel hated Emily
ly but was incredibly dependent on her. So when something like this happened to her, Rachel couldn’t bring herself to tell anyone except Emily:
Hat were Emily, she wouldn’t mock or insult her, Emily would comfort her inmediately and come up with ideas to minimize the impact. That’s why Rachel was so eager to find Emily
Impatient with the wait for the elevator, Rachel even decided to take the stairs……….
But on the way up, the overheard a convenation that was both confusing and unsettling.
At the time, Rachel was too naive.
She didn’t realize the conversation was about the Woods family–the two speakers never mentioned those exact words, They talked about boys being smart, but that wasn’t enough to confirm it was the Woods family. And they spoke of a baby girl, but before birth, no one knew the sex of the
her own pargnancy, Rachel’s fint reaction was that it had nothing to do with her. She didn’t want to get involved in someone ebe’s trouble–she was already unlucky enough.
So, she didn’t think much of the conversation at the time.

Later, when Emily died from complications during childbirth, giving b
Moreover, Emily had a chance to survive. However, for reasons unknown–whether it was a medical error or the doctor’s overconfidence in his skills–when complications arose, he failed to perform an emergency C–section in time. As a result, Emily suffered massive bleeding and died from hemonhagic shock.
The sounds of grief from Darell and his sons sent a chill through Rachel. At that moment, it was as if everything clicked, and she finally remembered the conversation she had overheard in the hallway.
It turned out that the people plotting against the Woods family were targeting them specifically.
Emily had been one of the “rare mainlineal descendants mentioned in the conversation, and she could have been saved. She died due to someone’s scheme to obtain the perfect child bom naturally.
Rachel didn’t dare reveal the truth. If she did, she’d be guilty of withholding information. The Woods family would hate her, and her mother would probably kill her.
Although Rachel depended on Emily, she loved herself more.
At that moment, her first thought wasn’t about avenging Emily or finding the culprits, but about using the opportunity to find a way out for herself. The broken and griet–stricken Darell became her ideal target.
Emily had married Darell, and because of that, even her mother, who was biased against daughters, always treated Emily with a smile, constantly praising her Rachel thought. If I marry Darell, will I become as confident and beautiful as Emily, and finally gain my mother’s favor? Now seems like the perfect time.
Because of Emily’s death, Darell wandered through life in despair, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. He had always been self–disciplined, and no woman could get close to him
Bun Rachel was different. She was Nina Emily’s beloved niece, and had often visited the Woods family, so she was more familiar to him. Darell would let his guard down around her, especially since she resembled Emily-
Rachel figured if she could just get him drunk and make him mistake her for Emily, they would end up in bed. Then, she could claim the child as his and become the next Mrs, Woods
