From Rooftop Falls to Second Chances

Because it was my first time and I had no experience, plus it was a bit embarrassing to talk to my elders about this, I didn't dig any deeper. I never imagined that the wound inside Jessica Grant's mouth actually came with a shadowy apparition.

After Grant's son, Nathan, became rougher, he tore off the lower part of Susan Moore's skirt without the slightest pity. But just as he was about to go further, he suddenly stopped. His eyes darkened.

"Damn, bitch!" he spat.

"I thought you were pure, but you're so filthy. Wasting my time."

I frowned at that. Hadn't Nathan just said "Susan"? Why did he suddenly say she was filthy?

Probably because his harsh words were too loud, Jessica Grant walked in. Seeing that Susan was already bruised and battered from Nathan's fury, she quickly stopped him.

"Son, what's going on?"

"It's so hard to find a woman who meets the criteria. Take it easy, how can you have a child if you break her body?"

But Nathan was furious.

"What criteria? She's not worthy! We've all been tricked!"

"Mom, she's pretending to be pure, but she reeks. No way she can have a child."

I was even more confused. I didn't know if Susan really smelled, but what did that have to do with having a child?

Soon their conversation gave me the answer.

Jessica frowned slightly and sniffed the air.

"What smell? I don't smell anything."

"Mom, can I lie to you? You forgot that the master gave me a spiritual technique to detect if a woman is a virgin by her scent."

"This woman usually covers it up with perfume, but when she undresses, the stench is unbearable. I don't know how many men she's been with."

"Mom, what should we do? We picked the wrong person!"

Jessica looked puzzled.

"How could it be? The master clearly said we'd meet a virgin with a pure Yin constitution, perfect for you, at that time and place."

"He said the woman would be kind-hearted and love small animals and would definitely bring you home."

"All of this matches when Susan found you. How could it be wrong?"

Hearing this, I nearly covered my mouth to stop from screaming. If their story was true, then the target from the start was me.

It was only because I was reborn and returned that Susan disturbed everything.

But even if I really was a pure Yin constitution, why did they want me to bear Nathan's child?

The next sentence I heard sent chills down my spine.
