Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1901

But whenever Channing was mentioned, she practically came alive.

Her condition still required psychiatric medication. Having a baby right now was terrible timing.

——

At the apartment.

Channing had recovered quite a bit. Holding his phone, he paced back and forth in the living room.

He wanted to check on Coralie's situation but didn't dare call her.

She hated it when he nagged.

Left with no choice, he contacted the casino staff and learned she had already left.

If she wasn't home, where could she have gone?

She couldn't possibly be out picking up a new boy toy, could she?

Just as Channing was hesitating, the front door suddenly swung open.

Coralie appeared in the doorway.

"Boss!"

Channing immediately stepped forward to take her things, guiding her to the sofa. "Here, a warm drink to settle your stomach."

It was freezing outside, and she was icy to the touch.

Watching Channing get back on his feet, Coralie's dazed mind slowly cleared. Her voice was hoarse as she asked, "Why are you out of bed?"

"I'm fine now."

Channing had intended to play the pity card, but seeing her looking so drained, he didn't have the heart for it.

He grasped her cold hands, asking softly, "Where did you go? Your hands are freezing."

"I was in a bad mood, so I took a walk." Coralie glanced at him, the psychiatrist's words echoing in her mind.

She might actually be carrying Channing's baby right now.

She didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl, or who it would look like.

But...

They were about to go their separate ways. Why did this have to happen now?

"A bad mood?" Channing tensed immediately, his palm pressing gently against her stomach. "Does your stomach hurt? Let's go to the hospital!"

With that, he tried to pull her toward the door.

"I'm not going!"
