Chapter 1

I’m a first-year OB-GYN resident, and I have a secret: I can hear unborn babies talk.

Today, a pregnant woman came in. Her amniotic fluid index was running dangerously low.

Suddenly, a tiny voice echoed in my head.

"Doctor, my dad has drugged my mom three times already. Save me!"

The ultrasound probe in my hand trembled.

I looked up. The man standing next to the pregnant woman was staring at his phone, laughing at some screen.

I took a deep breath, carefully choosing my words.

"There's a slight issue with this report. I highly recommend a follow-up scan."

Immediately, their entire family stood up. A dozen eyes glared at me.

"Doctor, are you saying there's something wrong with our baby?"

Right at that moment, the baby spoke again.

"Doctor, the killer is standing right in front of you."

Hearing the commotion, the Attending Physician, Dr. Ronald Carter, walked over with a frown. He snatched the report and glanced at it.

"The levels are within the normal range. Paige, stop talking nonsense."

I nodded slowly.

Fine.

Believe whatever you want.
