As the only remaining fortuneteller in the world, I followed my parents' will and married a member of the Geraldine Family under a pseudonym.

On the wedding day, Liam held a wedding with a woman who claimed to be able to predict the future.

Louis Geraldine, the illegitimate son of the Geraldine Family, stood up for me, but was accused of having an affair with me. We were drugged and locked in the basement. He would rather hit his head against the wall than hurt me, and whispered his deep affection for me when he was unconscious.

I was deeply moved and married him.

After marriage, I soon became pregnant, but Louis died because he saved me in a car accident. I couldn't bear to lose my loved ones again, so I disobeyed my parents' instructions and secretly changed his fate.

The price was the death of the baby in my belly, and since then, every child in my belly had not survived more than six months.

I studied numerology and finally found a way to save the child, but I accidentally ran into him and Liam drinking and chatting in a restaurant.

"Sharon needs the placenta of the child of the most yin and the most yang person every year to stay in this world. It's not a good idea to always take your and Bianca's child. How about finding a few backup candidates?"

"No! Bianca has a good fate and the placenta has the best effect. I will speed up the search for a fate changer to change Sharon's fate once and for all!"

"Then you have to coax Bianca well, otherwise she will know the truth about induced abortion and refuse to cooperate with the fate change, and you will have a headache!"

"Don't worry, she loves me deeply, and she will offer me a mere fate with both hands!"

It turned out that Louis had other intentions in marrying me. The death of five children was not a punishment from heaven but a manmade one!

——

The two people who should had fought to the death for the right of inheritance were drinking together to keep Sharon.

The voice that comforted me turned into a sharp thorn and kept stabbing into my ears.

Liam said in a low voice, "Thanks to your ruthlessness these years, otherwise Sharon would have left this world long ago. How are you going to design an accident this time?"

Louis took a sip of wine and said casually, "Bianca is not stupid. If there are too many accidents, she will be suspicious. Fortunately, she believes in me now. Just make a fake prenatal examination report to induce labor!"

Liam was skeptical and tapped the table thoughtfully, "Are you in love with her? This method is too gentle."

"You think too much. She has induced labor five times. She should have kept her body and waited for me to give her a Sharon changes her fate." Louis replied.

Liam scrutinized him with a serious expression, "The person in charge is confused, you'd better figure out your heart, don't let down the chain at the critical moment!"

Louis was questioned, dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, "I don't need your reminder of who I have in my heart! But you, if you dare to betray Sharon, I will make you live a life worse than death!"

Liam ended the test, patted his shoulder and was extremely satisfied, "I don't need to thank you for your great favor. After the matter is done, I will find you a beautiful girl who can give birth!"

Louis frowned when he heard it, and instinctively rejected this arrangement in his heart. He stroked the rings on his hand, as if he had made some kind of determination, "No need, after getting Bianca's fate, I will take care of her for the rest of my life, which can be regarded as accumulating blessings for Sharon!"

He drank the wine in the glass with red eyes, his face full of the broken feeling of unrequited love. But he couldn't arouse my heartache as usual.

The belly that was already pregnant was tightening. I resisted the pain in my stomach and hurriedly left the restaurant by holding onto the wall.

The moment I got home, my tears could no longer be controlled. I only blamed my poor skills for mistaking the entanglement between me and Louis as the true love of my life. His deep affection for me could be mistaken for the real thing!

After losing his first child, the first thing he did when he woke up was to kneel in front of me and scold himself for not protecting us. I was immersed in the joy of his rescue and didn't doubt why he knew our child was gone. I foolishly comforted him and drank the bitter medicine for conditioning my body as water, just to get pregnant as soon as possible to reduce his guilt.

But accidents one after another made me lose my child through induced abortion. I thought this was a punishment from God for forcibly changing Louis's fate, but I didn't know that this was the price I paid for falling in love with him!

It was ridiculous that he had calculated everything, but he didn't know that I was the fate changer he was looking for.

"Bianca?"

Louis opened the door and saw me in tears. He didn't even have time to take off his shoes. He hurried over to pull me up and check. Seeing my bulging belly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you crying like this? Are you thinking about those sad things again?"

He knew that I would be so sad only when I thought about the five children who had never been born.

In order to coax me, he put his face on my abdomen and vowed, "Bianca, we are blessed people, and the child will definitely be born safely!"

When his kiss was about to fall, I took a step back and asked in a hoarse voice, "Can the baby really be born safely?"

He lowered his head and dared not look at me, but quickly adjusted himself and looked at me affectionately. "Bianca, don't worry, your husband will take you to the hospital for a more detailed examination tomorrow!"

Going around, his real purpose was to let me continue the induced labor. But the doctor said that my body was seriously deficient and this child was most likely the last one.

"No, I just went to the hospital today, and the child is fine. I've asked someone to make an appointment, it's not appropriate not to go!"

Louis impatiently took out the number he had made long ago, "Dear Bianca, for the sake of our child, can you make another hard trip tomorrow?"

Whether it was for the good of the child or Sharon, it was selfevident.

Just at this moment, I felt pain in my abdomen again. Louis, who was already familiar with the details of pregnancy and childbirth, immediately found that something was wrong with me.

"Bianca, don't be afraid, your husband will take you to the hospital now!"

I resisted and refused to go with Louis and the noise alarmed my motherinlaw. She always disliked me and when she saw that I refused to go to the hospital, her face was pulled long,

"Bianca, if you can't get a little bit of energy in your belly, I can also be the head of the Geraldine Family! If this child can't be saved, I will definitely kick you out of the house! Louis is really unlucky to marry you!"

The one who was really unlucky was obviously me.

I didn't have time to argue with my motherinlaw. My mind was full of the need to go to the hospital to save the child. If the child was gone, the lineage of fortunechangers would be extinct in my hands.

Thinking of my motherinlaw's eagerness to had a grandson, I had to bow my head and ask her for help, "Mom, accompany me to the hospital. Louis has been busy all day, let him rest."

My motherinlaw didn't understand Louis's thoughts. Seeing that I was considerate of her son, she pouted and went back to the house to get her phone.

But Louis didn't want his mother to ruin the good thing. When he was worrying about how to get rid of her, the phone rang.

When he saw the phone, a tenderness that I had never experienced appeared on his face. I didn’t know what the other party said, but he suddenly looked at my belly. The anxiety and determination in his eyes made my heart beat wildly.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem tonight!"

I was instantly sure that the child in my belly would not escape tonight.

Seeing that my motherinlaw was about to take me away, Louis deliberately rubbed the olive oil on the side cabinet to the ground.

My motherinlaw thought I was in trouble and ran out of the room in a hurry, but she stepped on the olive oil and fell on her back.

I stood there in shock, looking at Louis in disbelief, "This is your biological mother, how could you..."

My motherinlaw wailed and cursed at me in tears, "Bianca, you nemesis, get out of here! You killed your own parents and you killed my grandson, and now you're killing me too! I'd rather not have the grandson in your belly than drive you away, you jinx!"

Over the years, my motherinlaw had made me angry because I couldn't keep the child.

I was originally distressed that she fell, but I didn't want to suffer this anymore.

"Okay, then!" I couldn't ask for this opportunity to leave Louis.

Louis held me, his eyes full of pleading, "Bianca, it's all my fault, please don't get angry with mom, okay?"

He didn't forget to coax his mother, "Mom, I accidentally knocked over the olive oil, how can you blame Bianca for this?"

He spoke for me firmly as always. He thought that I would forgive my motherinlaw's greetings to my ancestors for his protection, just like before. How could a man who could even calculate his own mother and flesh and blood have a trace of sincerity towards me?

All his protection and love for me in the past was just to make me a tool. I stubbornly left and called an ambulance for myself.

When my motherinlaw saw that I refused to bow my head and only cared about myself, she endured the pain and threw the halfbroken glass bottle at me.

"Mom, don't!" Louis's face turned pale with fear.

He stepped forward, but failed to hold me, and fell to the ground with me. A hot current flowed out from my body, and I was in so much pain.

I habitually asked Louis for help, "Save our child..."

But I looked up and clearly caught a trace of joy and lightness from his eyes full of fake grief.

"Bianca, don't be afraid, the child will be fine, don't blame mom, okay? She just fell and had nowhere to vent her anger..."

This sentence again.

Every time my motherinlaw humiliated me, he would whisper to me secretly, "No matter how wrong she is, she is still my mother. I can't kill her, but I will double your compensation..."

His compensation was to try every means to make me pregnant as soon as possible, and then ruthlessly took the child's life.

At this moment, he must be extremely grateful to his mother for her help, after all, he didn't have to do it to me and the child himself.

Seeing that I was trembling with abdominal pain, Louis finally panicked. "Bianca, don't be afraid! For the sake of the child, you have to hold on!"

But the ambulance could only take one person and he let my motherinlaw get in the car first without hesitation. Because he felt that my bleeding was not enough to induce labor...

The hot tears in his eyes fell on my face, making me feel cold all over.

"Louis, send me to the hospital..."

But he didn't understand at all, crying as if his beloved had died.

I bit my tongue hard and asked him with all my strength, "Are you really so heartless that you want to kill me and the child?"

Louis froze. "Bianca, why do you think so? I asked mom to go to the hospital first for your own good. You have a good fate, nothing will happen to you..."

What a good sentence for my own good. I never thought that the person beside me could act so well and be so heartless.

While staring at my bleeding, he felt my fetal movement with his hands, and the worry on his face didn't seem fake.

Perhaps it was because I felt that I was not loved, and the moment I felt numb from the pain, a large amount of heat flowed out from under me, and the sixmonthold baby in my belly stopped moving.

I closed my eyes in despair.

Louis's panicked voice sounded at the right time, "Bianca! Don't sleep! I'll take you to the hospital now!"

When he was sent to the emergency room, he still begged the doctor hypocritically, "Please help me save the child. If my wife has another induced abortion, it will be difficult for her to get pregnant..."

It turned out that he knew this would be our last child. But he still chose to sacrifice his own flesh and blood for Sharon without hesitation.

The doctor was in a hurry to rescue the baby and pushed him away, "The baby can't be saved. If you delay any longer, your wife will die!"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Louis's mouth corners slightly raised uncontrollably. But when he touched my pale face, he forced his mouth corners down, "Doctor, save my wife, she must be fine!"

When the door of the operating room was about to close, Sharon, who was also pushed into the emergency room, comforted him softly, "She is blessed with a good life, and nothing will happen to her."

"Yes! Bianca has a good fate, and has done so many good deeds, she will definitely be safe!"

He was afraid that he had some misunderstanding about good fate and doing good deeds! I was so disheartened that I couldn't bear the pain anymore and fainted completely.

I didn’t know how long it took before Louis woke me up with an anxious voice, "How is it? Did Sharon wake up after eating the placenta?"

"Good, good! It's good that Sharon woke up, brother, you must take good care of her!"

I stroked my flat belly gently, and felt the bitterness melt into my bones and blood, wandering through my limbs. I wanted to tell myself that all this was just a nightmare. But the winding stretch marks clearly reminded me that six lives had been bred here.

Louis hung up the phone and stayed by my bed. I couldn't stand his burning gaze and opened my eyes. Seeing me wake up, his bloodshot eyes were full of guilt.

"Bianca, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." he said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, we will have children again, I swear to protect the next child well!" As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was choked.

I raised my hand and slapped him with all my strength. I exclaimed, "Louis, how long are you going to act?"

Ignoring my struggle, he held me tightly in his arms, "Darling, you just had surgery, don't be angry!"

The familiar smell of pine resin mixed with the smell of disinfectant lingered at the tip of my nose, making me feel so sick that I wanted to vomit. But he reached out his hand to catch my vomit without caring.

The doctor and the nurse who came in for rounds shook their heads and sighed, "You two have such a deep relationship, why is it so difficult to have a child..."

Louis couldn't hold it anymore, turned his head and wiped his teary eyes. I suppressed my grief again.

Then as usual, I seriously asked the doctor how to regulate my body to prepare for the next pregnancy. It seemed that Louis would not give up on getting me pregnant until he couldn’t find a fortuneteller.

But the doctor shook his head and told him regretfully that I could never get pregnant again! He immediately covered his face and cried until his shoulders twitched. Maybe it was because we had six children, there were more red threads entangled between him and me.

Under direct sunlight, the threads were as red as blood. It was ridiculous that I actually thought that was the bond between us and the proof of our deep love. Now, I finally understand that they were lives after lives!

I interrupted Louis's acting with a sneer, "Let's get a divorce!"

I couldn't get pregnant, as long as I didn't reveal my identity as a fortuneteller, he should be happy to let me go free.

Louis looked at my calm face, and a huge panic surged in his heart, "Bianca, you can hit me or scold me, don't say such angry words! Mom is angry if she wants to drive you away. Wait for her to wake up and take good care of her for a few days, she won't blame you..."

Louis actually thought that I asked for a divorce because I was afraid that I would lose the child and it would be difficult to explain to my motherinlaw.

Looking at his familiar face, the vague memories of my parents before their death became clearer and clearer.

"Bianca, marrying into the Geraldine Family under an assumed name is your only way to survive..."

"You must risk your life to survive..."

The pain of losing my parents made me wake up with a high fever and only remembered the first half of my parents' instructions. I didn’t know if losing six children was considered risking my life to survive.

I suppressed my hatred and nodded to him, "Okay, I'll go when I regain my strength."

Louis heard this and leaned over to kiss me. I turned my face away and missed hiss kiss. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and before he could say anything, he was interrupted by his mother’s scolding.

Louis actually defended me with all his strength, so my motherinlaw had to give up. But she took advantage of Louis's absence and offered to give me a sum of money, just asking me to leave Louis.

I smiled and said yes. She was stunned for a moment, and then she arranged for me to leave with an expression of "as expected".

Being able to raise Louis under the nose of the original wife of the Geraldine Family and compete for the inheritance of the Geraldine Family, her strength should not be underestimated.

I looked at the divorce agreement she sent and signed it without hesitation.

"Bianca, take the money, and don't appear in front of my son again, whether dead or alive! Otherwise, I have ten thousand ways to make you disappear without a trace!"

Louis came back and saw that our relationship between motherinlaw and daughterinlaw had broken the ice, and he was even more attentive to me.

But when I asked to see the children, he hesitated and refused, "I have buried them together. When you are discharged from the hospital, we will go to worship together."

"Worship an empty grave?" I sneered.

Louis's pupils trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and lied casually, "I handled all the funeral affairs myself, how could it be an empty grave!"

I closed my eyes helplessly, not wanting to confront a ruthless person again.

For the soul of another world to stabilize the soul, it was far from enough to use the placenta alone. It was necessary to use the body as medicine for six years and then forcibly changed the fate. Fortunately, I was about to leave. Without me as a fate changer, Sharon was destined to live a short time.

As I fell asleep in a daze, I felt a sharp pain on my wrist, followed by Louis's excited cry, "Bianca, why didn't you tell me earlier that you are a fate changer?"

I wanted to deny it, but when I saw the bracelet on my wrist that was already emitting golden light, I knew it was too late. Each bead was locked with the soul of our child!

Louis's excitement was undisguised, "Sure enough, Sharon is right. You are the fate changer I am looking for!"

"Bianca, you also know that Sharon can predict the future. She said that as long as you help her change her fate and then exchange your fates, the dilemma of us not being able to keep the child can be solved!" he continued.

But he didn't know that if I changed the fate of a dead person, the price would be very high. But I couldn't bear to see the six children's souls scattered, so I had to use the power of changing fate to help them break the seal.

I chuckled and agreed to Louis's request.

After a long time, Sharon's soul was completely stable as she wished.

She rushed into the ward excitedly, hung on Louis and kissed him randomly, "Louis, it worked! I don't have to worry about leaving anymore."

Louis was so excited that he hugged Sharon tightly in his arms, his face full of tears, "Sharon, I don't have to worry about you leaving suddenly every night!"

Sharon wanted to take him to celebrate, Louis looked at me and hesitated, "But Bianca still needs my care..."

"Louis, are you stupid? The fate changer is blessed by fate, how can she be so delicate! It's not too late to come back to take care of her after we celebrate!"

Louis left with peace of mind.

I struggled to get up. I changed the flight ticket bought by my motherinlaw and left overnight.

At the same time, Sharon and Liam raised their glasses to thank Louis for his help, but he always felt empty in his heart. It was his lifelong wish to help Sharon achieve her wish. Now everything had been perfectly realized, why couldn’t he be happy?

Sharon and Liam were intimate in front of him without any scruples, and he no longer had the bitterness and jealousy he had before.

On the contrary, his mind was full of me, Bianca

‘She had just had a miscarriage, and she was tricked by him into changing her fate. Will something happen after losing her fate?’ Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still.

"You two can celebrate well, I have to go back to accompany Bianca!"
