LOGINMy name is Margaret Turner. After my daughter, Sarah McDowell, becomes pregnant, I am shocked to find that I can hear the thoughts of the baby in her womb. "Grandma, please don't let Mommy get the prenatal checkup! If they learn I'm a girl, Dad will make her get rid of me. I don't want to die!" I can't believe what I'm hearing. Knowing that my son‑in‑law, Jeremy O'Brien, works at a hospital and can use his connections to learn the baby's gender, I do everything in my power to keep Sarah from being examined. But three months later, doctors confirm that Sarah's baby has a congenital deformity and is fated to be born disabled. Sarah is devastated, and guilt consumes me. Suddenly, I hear my granddaughter's voice again. "It's all because of Dad. He cheated with that nurse and returned home soaked in her cheap perfume. As soon as Mommy breathed it in, I was fated to come into the world deformed. Poor Mommy…" Rage explodes inside me. Without a second thought, I storm into Jeremy's workplace, determined to catch him in the act. I don't expect to walk in on a critical heart surgery he is performing. My intrusion throws the room into chaos, and the patient dies on the operating table. The patient's family loses control, and they cause a violent scene in the hospital. In the mayhem, Jeremy is killed on the spot. When Sarah learns what I've done, she is consumed by rage and declares she wants nothing more to do with me. At that moment, my granddaughter's voice echoes in my mind once more. "Mommy is heartbroken and needs time to heal. Grandma, please don't make things worse. Mommy will be okay after she rests." Hearing this, I force myself to stay calm. But that very night, word arrives that Sarah has thrown herself into a river and ended her life. Shattered by grief, I eventually make the same tragic choice. As my final breath fades, my granddaughter's chilling laugh echoes in my ears. When I open my eyes again, I find myself back on the day her voice first crept into my mind.

"You've done everything you could to destroy my family. I'm beautiful, but you call me promiscuous. Do you even realize how much it hurts to live in your shadow? You don't deserve to be my mother!"With that, Sarah covered her face and began crying loudly. I didn't waste another word on her. Instead, I pulled out my phone and played the surveillance footage of her giving birth right on my doorstep."This so-called 'ugly baby' was born from your womb. Why are you refusing to acknowledge her now? What were you thinking when you were cheating on Jeremy behind his back?"I've spoiled you, loved you, and tolerated your nonsense more times than I can count. I've bent over backwards to keep your secret safe."But because you were so terrified of the truth being exposed, you nearly killed me. Have you forgotten that I'm your mother?
"Mom, please don't say anything to anyone, okay? This is my last request. I swear I won't trouble you again."I know I messed up. I never should've hurt anyone, and I never should've lied to you. But, Mom, you always said your love for me was unconditional. Surely you're not abandoning me now, are you?"I have to go to the hospital… It hurts so much."My hands shook uncontrollably. Seeing Sarah covered in blood, I immediately rushed to assist the doctors in getting her into the emergency room.When Sarah finally opened her eyes in the hospital bed, the first thing she did was call out for me."I'll tell you everything, Mom. I just hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."I lost my husband, and my baby came into this world deformed. My entire life has collapsed. I don't know how to go on without you."I gave a nod, signaling her to continue.Sarah's face turned pale. She reached out and removed the necklace from around my neck."I'm sorry, Mom. The 'voice' you heard w
In an instant, Sarah's face turned pale, but she quickly regained her composure."Mom, I'm confused. What exactly are you trying to say?"Why on earth would I deliberately hurt my beloved baby? Why would I turn my back on a good life just to kill the man I married? And what do you mean you're 'hearing voices'? Mom, you're not seriously losing your mind, are you?"Her words left me speechless. For a moment, I couldn't find a response.I knew no one would believe I could hear the voice of Sarah's baby. To anyone else, the idea that someone as gentle and kind as Sarah could ever harm those she loved was unthinkable.However, the moment she had plunged into the lake, I could sense that something was off with her.I'd trained Sarah in diving ever since she was a child, and over the years, she had won countless swimming competitions. There was no way she could have drowned.When she had leaped into the water, I noticed a thin life jacket hidden beneath her clothes. In that instant, it
"Mom! It hurts so much! Please help me! I can't breathe!"Mom! Aren't you a good swimmer? How can you just stand there and watch me die? I'm carrying your grandchild, for crying out loud! I regret jumping in. I'm so scared. Mom, please save me!"Sarah's desperate cries pierced the hearts of everyone around her. Her struggle was agonizing to watch.A crowd began to gather. Ignorant of the truth, they pointed at me, and their voices rose with outrage."How can you just stand there and do nothing? She's your daughter, for heaven's sake! How can you watch her drown without even trying to help?""Oh, please! Someone like that doesn't deserve to be a mother. It's disgusting. If my own daughter fell into the water, I'd give anything to save her!"Their cruel words rolled off me; not one of them reached my heart.Without a second thought, I pulled out my phone and called the police. "What could a woman like me possibly do? I'd only end up drowning with her," I said.I remained eerily c
