They Chose Her Over Me—Now They're Begging for ForgivenessChapter 1

When I was discharged from the hospital after giving birth to my son, a trending post popped up on my phone while I was paying the bill.

"A neighbor I've only met twice just had a baby and insists I help take care of it, but my daughter also gave birth these past few days, and I really don't know how to refuse. Asking netizens for help."

The comments were all over the place, but the author only replied to one.

"Simple—just tell her you two are getting up there in age, and now that you're retired, you're planning to travel. Then go stay at your daughter's place. If the neighbor can't find you, there's nothing she can do. Wait until her kid's older, then move back."

My eyes lit up. That netizen's emotional intelligence was off the charts.

At the same time, I couldn't help looking down on this ungrateful neighbor. Only greeted each other twice—how could she have the nerve to make such an unreasonable request?

Luckily, my mom had agreed to help me with my son.

But when I opened my front door, the house was empty.

I called my parents. No answer.

Two hours later, Mom finally texted.
