To verify my guess, I got out of the car and pretended to be a peacemaker as I walked over.

I touched Jeff's head and said, "Jeff, be good. Mom and Grandma are both watching over you. How could you drown?"

As soon as he saw me, Jeff screamed in terror as if he had seen a ghost.

He was emotional and seemed even more crazy. "Mom, the bad woman has turned into a ghost!"

Jeff is reborn too!

Jeff cried and pulled away my hand, repeatedly saying that when he was floating in the air, he saw my head being pressed into the river by Mia and Ivy.

I covered my mouth in astonishment. "Are you saying that Mom and Grandma want to kill me?"

Mia's face changed drastically, and she slapped Jeff in the face. "You've been talking nonsense since you got out of the car, don't you know that is against the law?"

Jeff certainly understood, but his poor knowledge prevented him from expressing it completely.

Ivy frowned. "Could Jeff really have encountered something evil?"

Mia waved her hand and grabbed Jeff's ear to scold him. "You cried and shouted to go out and play in the morning, and now that I brought you here, you're causing trouble again. Are you itching for a beating?"

In Mia's view, Jeff's crying and tantrums were just a child's trick, and a beating would solve it.

I smiled and protected Jeff behind me. "Mia, why bother arguing with a child? When he gets in the water later and finds it fun, he won't cause trouble anymore."

Mia nodded in rare agreement with me.

Upon hearing my words, Jeff widened his eyes in horror and said, "Auntie Dora, I was wrong, I won't get in the water."

Ivy couldn't bear to see her grandson like this. She grabbed Mia's arm and said, "Jeff does seem a bit off. How about going home now?"

Mia's face darkened, and she suddenly pushed me away and grabbed Jeff, giving him a beating.

In the meantime, she cursed, "You useless thing! It's all your fault that I can't make money!"

Today, Mia planned to share the latest camping locations online, and her fans were urging her to update.

So no matter how Jeff protests, Mia wouldn't go back.

Jeff's screams filled the entire area.

Ivy couldn't bear to watch and wanted to step forward to stop it, saying, "Jeff is still a child, why are you hitting him so hard?"

Mia gave her a disdainful look and said impatiently, "I'm disciplining my son, what business is it of yours?"

Before Mia gave birth, she said that Ivy was not allowed to interfere in her child's education.

Ivy did not refute back then, after all, having a grandson was better than anything else.

After getting a beating, Jeff became more obedient and no longer talked nonsense.

Mia smiled with satisfaction and forcefully dragged Jeff's arm towards the river.

"Smile in the photo later, don't make a bitter face!"

Mia's sharing post was about a parent-child camping, so Jeff naturally had to appear on camera.

Seeing that I was standing still, Ivy pinched me. "What are you doing standing here? Go get something!"

I originally planned to be an onlooker in the car, but now I found that Jeff had also been reborn, and the situation suddenly became interesting.

I can't wait to see how Mia will kill her precious son in this life.

I stood by the river with things in my hand and didn't stop them as desperately as in the previous life.

Jeff was forced by his mother to stand in the middle of the river, holding a small bucket for catching fish and shrimp.

His whole body was stiff, too scared to move.

Mia took pictures with her camera, but she was never satisfied.

She yelled at Jeff, "Is your dad dead? Who are you mourning for with that sad face?"

Jeff instantly teared up and looked at Mia with a grievance, "Mom, I'm really dying."

Mia was irritated by his words. She threw down the camera and jumped into the water, fiercely slapping Jeff.

"Is it that difficult for you to smile? I feed you well every day, but you let me down at this crucial time!"

Jeff screamed again, and the small fish used for the shoot fell into the river.

Mia became even angrier and grabbed him hard, "Do you know how much this fish cost? You're a money-losing thing!"

Ivy felt heartbroken and stomped her feet on the shore, but she didn't dare to say a word.

I took a folding chair and sat down to watch the show.

Seeing me leisurely enjoying the scenery, Ivy rushed up and pushed me. "Didn't you see Mia beating Jeff? Go and persuade her! Don't you claim you're a good auntie?"

I pointed at myself. "Me? Why? You are Jeff's grandmother, you should go."

Mia had a bad temper and a domineering personality, and she controlled everything at home.

Every time there was a conflict, Ivy asked me to persuade Mia not to go too far.

For the sake of family harmony, I always went to persuade Mia, but I had been rebuffed several times.

At this time, Ivy would jump out and say that I didn't respect Mia and ask me to apologize.

Now I finally realized that Ivy was using me as a pawn in my previous life.

Ivy was choked and couldn't say a word, just glaring at me with a pair of poisonous narrowed eyes.

I shrugged. "As Jeff's grandmother, you don't protect him, but ask me, his auntie, to do that? He has his mother to teach him."

Ivy was angry, but still patiently persuaded. "Mia, you come up first. What if Jeff falls later?"

Mia spat. "What's there to be afraid of? Falling won't hurt him that much."

In fact, this small river was not deep, but it was undeveloped and there might be many safety hazards.

In my previous life, I advised them not to go to the river and spend some money to go to regular tourist attractions, which are safer.

Mia almost rolled her eyes at that time. "Stop showing off you're rich. Can't I afford to go to tourist attractions? This is called exploring new attractions. How ignorant you are!"

I nodded and smiled. "You're right."

After hearing this, Ivy dared not argue anymore and could only let Mia scold her grandson.

It wasn't until someone passed by that Mia, hindered by her identity as a travel blogger, stopped.

But she still didn't let Jeff come up, only saying that he could come ashore when she took satisfactory photos.

Jeff stood in the water with tears on his face, and I could see the moss attached to the stones under his foot.

If he was not careful, he would slip and fall.

After posing in a few positions as requested by Mia, she asked Jeff to lift one of his legs.

Ivy became anxious and her tone became colder when talking to Mia.

"You will torture my grandson to death!"

Once it involved the safety of her precious grandson, she would quarrel with Mia.

Mia remained unmoved and shouted loudly, "Hurry up, don't listen to that old woman. Finish the shoot quickly and we have another set of photos to shoot!"

Jeff was nervous and scared, and this shout made him tremble even more.

He couldn't stand steadily on one foot, accidentally stepped on the moss on a stone, and fell straight into the water.

The water in this section was not deep, but there were many protruding stones.

With this fall, the water instantly turned red.

Ivy was completely panicked and rushed into the river to pick up her precious grandson, cursing and complaining.

"Oh my god, my baby is bleeding!"

Mia also visibly panicked and quickly threw down the camera and rushed over.

When they pulled up Jeff, he cried loudly, saying, "Mom, I'm really dying."

Although Jeff had said this countless times, Mia didn't take it seriously.

Jeff's wound was not serious, just a scraped skin and some bleeding, not life-threatening.

Mia heaved a sigh of relief and casually wiped the blood off his face, saying, "A man should not be afraid of a little pain. You're really pathetic. After we finish taking the photos, let's go back."

She stood up and observed the surroundings, choosing a spot where the water was clearer.

I clearly remembered that it was the place where Jeff drowned in his previous life.

The water there looked shallow, but it actually hid many whirlpools that could easily drag people in.

I was staring at the river in a daze, and Mia bumped into my shoulder. "Dick really married a dim-witted person who acts like a fool all day."

Dick was my husband. I smiled and said, "Mia, I have something to do and have to go back first. You guys have fun."

I didn't want to witness the scene anymore. I just wanted to escape quickly, in case I would be blamed later.

Looking at Jeff's timid appearance as he cautiously walked towards the deep water, his small body couldn't withstand the swift whirlpools.

Jeff was really pathetic.

He clearly knew that he would die if he went down, but he couldn't go against his mother's wishes.

Besides, how could Mia take a four-year-old child's words seriously?

Jeff trembled all over and occasionally turned his head to plead with Mia.

His voice was filled with a sob. "Mom, I don't want to play in the water anymore. I want to go home."

I sneered in my heart. Jeff probably wouldn't be able to go home today.

Mia grabbed my arm with a serious face and said, "Who will take us back if you leave? Leave the car keys!"

In the end, Mia's plan was still aimed at my car.

I withdrew my gaze, turned my head, and smiled at Mia. "No problem, you guys enjoy yourselves."

I handed the keys to Mia and prepared to leave without looking back

Mia was very happy, holding the car keys and looking at them over and over again. "You are smart. If you're leaving, leave quickly and don't disturb me taking photos."

Ivy, on the bank of the river, nervously watched her grandson in the water, feeling extremely worried.

Seeing that I was about to leave, Ivy blocked my way and said, "Why are you leaving now? Can't you persuade Mia?"

I patted Ivy's shoulder and said, "Mom, Mia is Jeff's biological mother. She won't hurt him. Don't worry."

Hearing Ivy's words, Mia gave her an annoyed look and said, "Mom, if you can't stand it, then leave with her. Don't stay here and bother me."

To take care of her grandson, Ivy swallowed her anger and sat on the bank with a sullen face.

I approached Ivy and whispered in her ear, "Mia is focusing on making money. You stay here to take care of your grandson."

Before Ivy could react, I quickly ran away.

I sighed with relief as I sat in the car heading back to the city.

In this life, no matter how Mia treated her son, it had nothing to do with me.

When I returned home, Dick was packing luggage.

Seeing me, Dick grinned and said, "Our new home is all set up. We're moving in today."

I nodded and then stared at my phone.

It was time that Mia's distress call should be coming soon.

As I guessed, a few minutes later, Mia called Dick for help.

Mia cried and said that Jeff had been swept into a whirlpool. When he was rescued, he was barely breathing.

Mia was not good at driving, and in a hurry, she directly crashed into the roadside guardrail.
