Initially, I was worried that Adah might be unhappy. But she welcomed me warmly. Although she was pregnant, she cooked delicious meals for me and showed genuine concern.
"Ethel, come and have the soup," she called after dinner while I was streaming. Adah brought me some soup. I touched my waist, which had grown a bit rounder, and said, "Adah, just leave it there. I'll have it later."
"Have it before it gets cold." She put the bowl on my desk with a caring expression as she noticed me fiddling with my computer.
I said, "Don't worry, Adah. I'll have it soon."
"Alright. Do remember," she said while gently touching my hair and smiling as she left the room.
The viewers were instantly envious.
"You're so lucky! Your sister-in-law is so good to you."
"I'm jealous. She cooked you some soup and brought it to your room. You are so lucky to have such a great sister-in-law."
I agreed wholeheartedly. "You are right. Adah is really good to me. She cooks delicious meals for me every day and offers me all kinds of soup constantly."
"Wow, you really know how to flaunt it."
"I wish I had the same sister-in-law."
"Is your sister-in-law pregnant?"
I nodded. And just then, I received a request to connect with another streamer, a relationship blogger. I accepted the request.
After losing my job, I started streaming to earn some money.
I couldn't just sit around doing nothing, especially with Adah about to give birth. I needed to do something for my future niece or nephew.
"Hi!" It was a young woman in her twenties. She looked delicate and was named Rebecca. "Good evening!" As soon as Rebecca saw me, she exclaimed, "Girl, you need to run away as soon as possible. Your sister-in-law is treating you so well because she's using you as a puppet for childbirth."
Her words caused a flurry of comments in the live stream.
"She must be crazy! How can she blurt out nonsense like that?"
"She is jealous of the good relationship between Ethel and her sister-in-law, but she doesn't have to be so malicious."
"A puppet? Why does she not mention a zombie?"
I found it hard to believe as well. "Are you mistaken, Rebecca?"
Rebecca looked at me seriously and said, "No. I can read faces. You look healthy because your sister-in-law is using you as a puppet for childbirth. Simply put, she's treating you as a vessel for having children."
"You're talking nonsense." I was getting angry. Rebecca was becoming more absurd. "My sister-in-law is about to give birth."
"If you don't trust me, check your neck. There are three red dots, which are superstitious marks believed to indicate a puppet for childbirth. Judging by the looks, it's been four months. It was when the fetus started to take shape four months ago. Your sister-in-law is actually a puppet demon."
Upon hearing this, the viewers in the live stream started giving comments crazily.
"What era is it now? How can she still believe in such superstitions?"
"Don't believe what she said. She's just a fraud. She'll probably ask you to buy something to solve the problem next."
"I have reported her."
I touched my neck and turned to look in the mirror on the table, where I saw three red dots there.
Everyone was shocked and terrified instantly.
"Oh my! There really are three red dots."
