I lay on the delivery bed, bleeding out. The doctor shouted in panic, "Where's her family? Someone needs to sign the critical condition notice! The patient has P-type blood, and the blood bank is running low!" Outside the door, the shrill voice of my mother-in-law, Amy Shaw, pierced through the crack. "Sign what? She's just having a baby. So delicate. My son is next door, giving Emily blood to save her life. Stop bothering him!" My husband, David Shaw, was right next door with his "pure and innocent" first love, Emily Lane. Emily had merely slit her wrist to gain sympathy, yet David acted as if the world were ending. Meanwhile, I was risking my life to give birth to his child. As my consciousness faded, I heard Amy laughing over the phone. "Don't worry, Mrs. Lane. I just used those rare tonic herbs you sent to make soup for Emily. Once she drinks it, she'll recover in no time. My daughter-in-law? She's tough. She won't die," Amy said.
