My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 158

By the time Zelda stepped out of the hospital room, the worry on her face had completely vanished.

Instead of rushing home, she headed straight to the shopping mall.

Two hours later, she returned to the hospital carrying multiple shopping bags and pushed open the door to the room.

Sienna was leaning against the headboard, her face pale. Seeing the bags in her mother's hands, she frowned. "Mom, what's all this?"

Zelda dumped the contents onto the bed. Out tumbled several loose maternity dresses and a prosthetic silicone pregnant belly.

Zelda picked up the silicone belly and weighed it in her hands. "I had someone track this down specifically for you. Once you put it on, it looks exactly like the real thing. No one will be able to tell the difference."

Startled, Sienna reached out and squeezed the fake bump. The texture was incredibly realistic.

Zelda lowered her voice. "Think about it. If the Sullivans find out the baby is gone now, our plan fails before it even starts."

"So, until the time is right, no one can know you lost the baby."

"You have to stay pregnant."

Sienna remained silent for a moment before slowly nodding.

She understood exactly what her mother meant.

She had to fake the pregnancy until the perfect opportunity arose to frame Seraphina in front of the Sullivans.

When that happened, she would stage her 'miscarriage', and everything would fall flawlessly into place.

Sienna hesitated. "But Mom, I can't just hide indoors forever."

Zelda smiled confidently. "Don't worry about that; I've already figured it out. From now on, you'll claim the doctor ordered strict bed rest, meaning you can't see any guests."

"I'll handle the Sullivans. I'll tell them your condition is unstable and you need complete peace and quiet."

"Once you recover physically in a few days, we'll find an excuse to make the 'accident' happen."

For the next few days, Sienna stayed confined to her room, strictly pretending to rest and avoiding the outside world entirely.

Zelda acted the part of a devoted mother to perfection, bringing her meals and telling anyone who asked that her daughter's pregnancy was fragile and required absolute bed rest with no visitors.

Zelda even made a personal call to the Sullivans.

"Victoria, Sienna hasn't been feeling too well lately. The doctor ordered bed rest, so she won't be able to leave the house for a while."

Zelda offered a polite laugh through the phone. "Once she feels a bit better, I'll bring her over to visit you."

"Mhm," Victoria acknowledged on the other end. "Let her rest well, then. Tell her not to run around."

The second the call disconnected, the smile on Zelda's face vanished instantly.

She glanced upstairs, her eyes narrowing into cold slits.

Hiding the truth wasn't enough; she needed to lure their scapegoat straight into the lion's den.
