Finally, at three in the morning, Melinda came back. I rushed to her. "Mia has given birth; she's already in the hospital. Where have you been? Why are you just coming back now?"
Melinda panicked for a moment, then hurriedly told me to go to bed and pushed me into bedroom.
"Instead of worrying about others, you better worry about yourself, just in case."
She was right; I suddenly became scared and didn't dare to mess around. After all, I really couldn't help much—there were doctors and nurses there, who were surely more helpful than me.
I lay in bed trying to calm myself down. Melinda was busy in the kitchen for a while and then left the house again.
I sneaked up to check and found that only a few eggs were missing from the house.
At that moment, I had to admit that Melinda might indeed be the evil mother. How could she not be with Mia while she was giving birth? Mia must be so scared now!
Our family doesn't have gender discrimination; Melinda only nurtures excellent children. So when Jayden didn't get into high school, my parents made him work in a factory to support my education.
