The barbeque restaurant at the entrance of the high school was still open. The boss hadn't changed and the meat still tasted familiar. High school was already a distant memory to the reborn Jennie, so she actually couldn't remember the last time she came to this restaurant.

Distant memories to Jennie were just things that happened two years ago to Nancy. Nancy talked non-stop about her high school days to Jennie. Those funny stories that Nancy thought were hilarious to her were unfamiliar to Jennie.

Jennie picked up a piece of meat for Nancy, put it in the sauce, dabbed at it, and sent it to Nancy's bowl. "My memory is not very good, so I can't remember many things."

Nancy was a person who didn't gain weight easily. She picked up the piece of meat and threw it into her mouth. Seeing that Jennie had been eating vegetables and seldom ate meat, Nancy shook her head and teased Jennie. "You're already married, yet you still care so much about your figure?"

Jennie said, "I need to pay more attention to my figure after marriage. After all, Brother Lili hugs and touches me every day."

Nancy was speechless.

She swallowed the meat and complained to Jennie in a small voice. "Big sister, you are corrupted after getting married."

"No, I just awakened my power of a corrupted queen." The moment Jennie met Lisa, she wanted to tease him and see him flustered. Over time, she became a female hooligan.

Nancy didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But thinking of something else, she couldn't bring herself to smile. "Big sister, Mother is pregnant." Nancy wasn't sure if Jennie knew about this.

Jennie put down her chopsticks, fixed her eyes on Nancy, and said, "I already knew. At the hospital, she suddenly felt nauseous and hid in the toilet. I guessed she was pregnant."

"I knew it! I also guessed it that day." Nancy supported her head with one hand and smiled in relief. She said, "It's quite good to be pregnant now. At least they will have a child by their side after I leave."

Jennie looked at her with deep meaning and suddenly asked, "Are you being sincere?"

Nancy was stunned. "Elder sister, why do you ask that?"

Jennie pointed out sharply. "Don't you hate them? Haven't you ever thought of them giving up on you just because they have a new baby?" Jennie didn't believe that Nancy was so magnanimous and considerate.

Nancy was slightly flustered. Her hands were trembling as she held the cup. "Elder sister, is this how you see me?"

Nancy's lips quivered a few times. Her tone was slightly indignant as she said, "That is my younger brother and sister, my blood-related family. When I knew of his existence, I felt slightly uncomfortable, but I looked forward to his safe arrival in this world. I hope that after my death, his arrival will bring my parents out of their grief."

"Just like how after you came to my house, you were beautiful and sensible. I was envious and jealous of you, but I still treated you as a family member and defended you. I also love the baby in my mother's tummy." Nancy gripped the glass tightly and said sternly, "Everything I said came from the bottom of my heart!"

Jennie patted the back of Nancy's hand and said with a smile, "Are you angry? Don't be like this, I am just worried that you will be unhappy. After all, your health..." Jennie stopped talking and took a sip of water." Nanc, have some barbeque. "

But Nancy was not in the mood to eat meat. All the flavors were gone. Jennie picked up a piece of lettuce, wrapped it around the pork belly, rolled it up, and handed it to Nancy. Nancy accepted it and ate it like wax.

The meal ended on a sour note and the sisters returned home.

On the way home, Jennie closed her eyes and leaned against the car seat. She recalled all the things that she didn't take to heart in her previous life.

In her previous life, the baby in Ha Jiwon's tummy had not been saved, as Nancy had coincidentally undergone surgery when Ha Jiwon was in the early stages of her pregnancy. Ha Jiwon had been so busy taking care of Nancy that she didn't realize she was pregnant. With the sudden stop in her menstrual cycle, Ha Jiwon thought that it was because she was so worried about her daughter's health that she went into menopause early. It was only when she miscarriaged that Ha Jiwon realized she was pregnant.

Due to her own carelessness, Ha Jiwon was still upset and blamed herself for not taking good care of the baby. In her previous life, that child was long gone. In this life, would he be able to arrive in this world safely?

After talking to Nancy yesterday, Ha Jiwon finally let it go. She also realized that it was impossible to save Nancy with her own heart.

Ha Jiwon finally decided to have this child.

It was early autumn and the temperature difference was huge between night and day. It was so hot in the afternoon that she felt like taking a cold shower, but autumn winds blew strongly in the evening.

Ha Jiwon put on a shawl and went downstairs. She went for a walk in the courtyard alone.

After returning home, Lee Jung Jae saw Ha Jiwon feeding the koi fish at the pond. His gloomy expression suddenly brightened. "Jiwon." Lee Jung Jae walked over to Ha Jiwon. As he got closer, he saw that Ha Jiwon's face was slightly rosy and finally felt relieved.

Ha Jiwon stopped and looked up at Lee Jung Jae.

Without waiting for Lee Jung Jae to speak, she spoke first. "You don't need to worry about me. I understand now. Using my life to exchange for Nancy's is cruel to you. If I really do that, I'm afraid you won't know how to face Nancy in the future."

Lee Jung Jae was shocked by Ha Jiwon's words but didn't retort to her.

Actually, Ha Jiwon was right. Lee Jung Jae would never allow that to happen. The thought that the heart beating inside Nancy was the heart of his wife whom he had loved for so many years made it very difficult for Lee Jung Jae to love Nancy as much as before.

As time passed, the father-daughter duo's relationship would develop into a rift.

Ha Jiwon stuffed the fish food into Lee Jung Jae's hands. She leaned against the railing. "Nancy is my child. I understand her character very well. She is so kind-hearted, she will never accept my heart. I will bear this child and I'll also cherish the last few moments we have left together with Nancy."

"Hubby, don't worry about me anymore."

Hearing Ha Jiwon's words, Lee Jung Jae finally felt relieved. "It's good that you can accept it." With that, the relationship between the husband and wife turned for the better. The gloomy atmosphere of the Lee Family was finally lifted.

The two of them stood by the pond to finish feeding the fish before returning to the house.

Nancy returned home after having some barbequed meat. She didn't see Ha Jiwon downstairs and thought she was still angry. She asked Auntie Zhang, "Auntie Zhang, didn't my mother come down today?"

But Auntie Zhang smiled. "Madam went downstairs today and she thought it through. She decided to have the baby."

Hearing that, Nancy was finally reassured. "That's good." Turning around, she headed upstairs. In a corner that Auntie Zhang couldn't see, the smile on Nancy's face gradually faded. Jennie's question at the dining table suddenly rang beside Nancy's ear.

[Don't you hate them? Haven't you ever thought of them giving up on you just because they have a new baby?]

Nancy's face suddenly lost all color.

Do I not hate them?

Nancy gritted her teeth. She couldn't believe that she would hate her parents and be jealous of that unborn child...
