Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1720

Gilda began to think that Severin would be repulsed by her if he found out that she was carrying someone else's child. He might still be averse to her even if she decided to abort the child.

Gilda was so overwhelmed with fear that her mind was starting to buzz.

"No… this can't happen! There has to be another reason why my period is late. I'm not pregnant, right? It has to be a coincidence!" Gilda shook her head repeatedly and paced anxiously in her room. She did not dare to dwell too much on that and was desperately hoping that she was overthinking.

She eventually sat down, closed her eyes, and used her mental power to check the situation in her womb. Her face paled with fright as soon as she found out the truth. Her worst fear had come true—she had gotten pregnant due to that fateful night.

"Why is the world doing this to me?" Gilda cried out in resentment. She did not even have the slightest idea as to who the child's father was!

"I need to terminate the pregnancy," Gilda decided with a heavy heart after some thought. "I've already lost my virginity for the sake of my life, and there are now rumors circulating and tarnishing my reputation. If anyone finds out that I got pregnant before marriage, I'd be disgracing my dad and the sect."

As she thought of the potential threats that the child posed to the sect and the smearing that might follow upon the child's birth, Gilda decided to act resolutely and channel her spiritual energy toward her abdomen. Unfortunately, her compassion got the better of her and she could not bring herself to do it even after several attempts.

She was well aware that the tiny little fetus was a human life that was created from her flesh and blood.

"Why can't I go through with this?" Gilda clenched her fists in frustration. She could only feel helpless and tormented.
