My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 156

Her mother never truly cared about her.

Shutting her eyes, Sienna didn't want to hear another word. "Enough, Mom. I get it."

Seeing her impatience, Zelda pursed her lips and walked out.

Over the next few days, Sienna became noticeably well-behaved.

She took her medication on time, stayed in bed, and even kept her temper in check.

Zelda brought her nutritious meals every day, offering words of concern.

But her eyes were constantly glued to Sienna's stomach, terrified that her precious grandson would suffer any mishaps.

Sienna saw it all, but she couldn't afford to care. Her mind was focused on one single goal: keeping the baby safe.

It was the only bargaining chip she had left.

She took every single pill the doctor prescribed, moving carefully even when rolling over in bed, terrified of putting pressure on her stomach.

But accidents always happen when you least expect them.

One afternoon, feeling incredibly suffocated from being cooped up, Sienna wanted to step outside for some fresh air.

Zelda was out playing cards, leaving only a few maids working around the house.

She changed her clothes and slowly made her way down the stairs, clinging to the handrail and taking each step with extreme caution.

Halfway down, she suddenly heard her phone vibrating upstairs.

She had left it in her bedroom.

Sienna turned around, but because she moved too quickly, she lost her footing and pitched forward.

Instinctively, she reached for the banister, but her fingertips only grazed the edge before her entire body tumbled down the stairs.

Her stomach slammed violently against the sharp edge of a step.

In that split second, the entire world went completely quiet.

Dashing to the bedside, Zelda's eyes instantly zeroed in on Sienna's flat stomach. Her expression warped. "Sienna."

"Is... is the baby really gone?"

Sienna turned her face away, refusing to look at her.

Zelda's face darkened, her voice pitching into a shrill wail. "What did I tell you? I warned you a thousand times to be careful, but you just wouldn't listen!"

"You had a perfectly healthy baby! How could you just lose it? What are we supposed to do now?"

Sienna bit her lip and stayed silent, exhaustion seeping into her bones.

Zelda grew even more furious. "Do you have any idea how important this baby was? The Sullivans were already on the fence! Your father and I were counting on this child to force Sebastian's hand! But now that the baby is gone, what do you think they are going to do?"

"All my friends know you're marrying into the Sullivan family. If things fall apart now, how am I supposed to show my face in public?"

Hearing this, Sienna finally snapped. She whipped her head around, her eyes bloodshot. "Mom! Do you think I wanted this? I wanted this baby more than anyone!"

"Why are you taking this out on me? Do you think I'm not heartbroken over losing my child?"
