The Rebirth of the Tragic Housewife Chapter 1

I killed myself after a depressive episode and was reborn the same night I gave birth.

In my previous life, I lost my retina during a natural birth, which caused me to go blind and lose my job. I worked my ass off to take care of my kid.

Yet my husband brought his lover home and enjoyed himself right in front of me.

In this new life, I heard my husband and my mother-in-law discussing outside the ward that a C-section was out of the question.

I rolled off the delivery bed and grabbed a mop to chase after my husband.

——

In the middle of the night, the cries in the delivery room were heart-wrenching.

In this new life, I had to experience this bone-breaking pain again!

In my previous life, due to my severe myopia, my retinas detached during natural childbirth, causing me to go blind. The rest of my life was ruined.

Trembling, I grabbed a midwife's hand and said, "Please... I want a C-section."

"We also believe that, given your physical condition, a C-section is what's best for you. But Ms. Menzie and Mr. Jenkins wouldn't sign the consent form for the surgery, so I'm afraid there's nothing we can do."

I remembered. In my previous life, my mother-in-law, Lane Menzie, said, "It's fine if Thea goes blind. But a C-section might harm the baby."

I gritted my teeth and rolled off the delivery bed.

"Ms. Kimmons! Ms. Kimmons..."

Ignoring the midwife's obstruction, I endured the immense pain and walked out of the delivery room, grabbing a mop from the water room and rushing out.

"Maxwell! Maxwell!"

I pointed the mop handle directly at Maxwell Jenkins' nose and said, "You fucking bastard! Get over here and sign!"

Maxwell was frightened by the crazy, pregnant me.

"Thea, be careful with the baby..."

"Sign!"

I shouted loudly, and the baby in my belly kicked me.

Lane ran over crying and was about to scold me. I hit Maxwell with the mop handle, scaring him to step back several steps.

I took a deep breath. "Are you gonna sign or not?"

Maxwell adjusted his glasses and said, "Thea, I heard that babies born by C-sections are not as smart as those born naturally..."

I'm almost dying, and what he cares about is actually whether the baby will be smart or not?

I slapped his both cheeks. "Are you gonna sign or not?"

"OK! Thea, don't be mad. Calm down. You don't wanna affect the baby."

Maxwell's glasses were knocked off by me. He hurriedly squatted down to pick up his glasses and said, "Don't get angry."

He's so disgusting!

I spat and walked into the delivery room with my hands on my hips.

I heard Lane crying behind me.

"We're so unlucky... Maxwell married a shrew!"

A shrew? I'm glad I'm a shrew in this life. If I were still as cowardly as in my previous life, I would have ended up miserably.

In my previous life, I went blind after giving birth. Lane didn't ask the doctor if my vision could be restored at all. All she cared about was whether I could give birth again!

Maxwell said all that mattered was that I was OK. But he brought his mistress home and had sex with her right under my nose. After I found out, he explained that Lane wanted a grandson, and he had no choice!

What a shameless family!

I was moved by Maxwell's thoughtfulness and gentleness at the beginning, and I thought I married the right guy.

I was so stupid.

After an hour on the operating table, I successfully gave birth to a baby girl.

After I was pushed back to the ward, Lane started nagging just like in my previous life.

"We agreed that you'd give birth to a boy.

"Why did you have a C-section anyway? Now you can only give birth again after three years. Why? Why did you do that? Women nowadays are so delicate. Back then..."

"You can give birth as many times as you want. I don't care," I interrupted Lane. "But you don't get to judge me."
