The pain made me curl up involuntarily, and my skirt was pushed to the ground.

My sweat soaked the quilt, but I didn't bother to wipe it.

The doctor was right.

I couldn't hold on any longer.

I closed my eyes gently, but the laughter in the living room continued to reach my ears.

Jonathan said to Jimmy, "Show Kristina the gift you picked."

Then, there was the sound of cartons being rummaged.

Kristina covered her mouth in surprise and said with emotion, "Jimmy, how did you know that I like this necklace? Is it because you and I have a tacit understanding? Our baby is so sensible! I also bought you a gift!"

"Surprise!"

Jimmy couldn't hide his emotions and immediately screamed, "Superman! And Transformers!"

"Even my dad doesn't buy these for me. You're the best in the world!"

My breath became weaker and weaker.

Kristina smiled and said, "Jimmy, what gift did your mother give you? Can you show it to me?"

Before Jimmy could speak, Jonathan immediately said coldly.

"Don't mention her. It took her so long to change her clothes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and shouted towards my room, "Have you finished changing your clothes? How long do you want to keep us waiting? Even Jimmy is never late for school, are you not capable as a five-year-old child?"

A bit of bloody taste suddenly overflowed from my throat, but I suppressed it.

My eyes filled with tears.

In his eyes, was I not even a human being?

Without getting any response, Jonathan lost his patience.

He started to yell angrily, "Why are you dawdling? Do you want the three of us to wait for you here? Don't put on makeup. It's useless!"

Suddenly, there were irregular footsteps outside.

A small figure gently opened the door of my room.

I knew it was Jimmy, but I no longer had the strength to lift my head.

I also wanted to touch his little face one last time and see him smile.

I wanted to hear him call me mom.

Even if he hated me, it didn't matter.

But Jimmy only took two steps after opening the door. When he saw me lying there, he looked disdain.

He said, "Mom is so lazy that she even sleeps on my birthday. She doesn't love me like Kristina does!"

His voice was clearly heard, and Jonathan immediately came in angrily.

Seeing the skirt that I pushed to the ground, he suddenly frowned and looked angry.
