Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1903

It was true.

If she couldn't provide a complete family for him after he was born, why bring him into the world at all?

But...

Coralie placed a hand on her stomach. Was she really going to get rid of him?

As her thoughts spiraled, her alarm went off.

It was time to pick up the report.

Coralie walked over to the printing kiosk, entered her patient number, and the report slid out moments later.

She held the paper, slowly turning it over to the side with the results.

There it was—

Her HCG pregnancy hormone levels had skyrocketed.

In fact, they were hundreds of times above the normal baseline.

She wasn't some naive young girl; she knew exactly what a spike like that meant.

So... she really was pregnant?

Clutching the report, Coralie knocked on the doctor's door.

"Birth control pills aren't a hundred percent effective."

The doctor glanced at the paper and spoke earnestly. "Are you married? Are you considering keeping this child?"

Coralie's head was buzzing, stripping her of the ability to think straight.

She wasn't married.

And she hadn't even thought about whether to keep the child or not.

"It's best to discuss this thoroughly with the father. Abortions are very hard on the body."

The doctor looked at her face and lowered her voice. "If you don't want it, make the decision as early as possible to minimize the physical trauma."

——

Outside the hospital.

Coralie was in a complete daze. She looked up at the foggy, gray sky, which perfectly mirrored her gloomy mood.

A child...

Coralie touched her flat stomach. She couldn't even feel its existence inside her.

What on earth was she supposed to do?

——

At the casino.

Channing finished his patrol and called the manager over.

"Mr. Irving, how come it's just you today?"

Usually, Mr. Irving was glued to Ms. Quill's side.

"She's not feeling well, so she's staying home today."

Channing flipped through a file, his voice low. "Where is he?"
