Chapter 812 You Should Talk to Alex 

Dazed, Paige rested her chin on Caroline’s shoulders. “You know, Carol, I was scared when I found out! was pregnant. But Alex’s caring support after I told him helped me let go of my fear and fully embrace this child.

“Gradually, I felt a deep connection with the child, as if we were one and couldn’t be separated. I also eagerly anticipated the childbirth. He is my precious darling, and I’ll risk anything to protect him. But then,

I didn’t expect to contract this disease.

“What do I do about the child? What will happen to him… Carol, the doctor said he will get infected, too. He’ll carry this virus for life if I give birth to him.

“But I couldn’t bring myself to abort. I just couldn’t… Besides, if people find out about my illness, they’ll judge me unfairly. They might think I’m impure. But that’s not who I am…”

Paige poured her heart out, tears streaming down her face.

Caroline also teared up. “Don’t speak like that about yourself, I know the real you. Let’s find a cure for his illness. There must be ways. Don’t give up on yourself, Paige. We’re all here for you.”

Paige leaned on Caroline’s shoulder and shut her eyes tightly, disregarding Caroline’s words. She allowed Caroline to embrace her as she wept endlessly, consumed by excruciating pain.

Only one thing lingered in her mind: the feeling of wanting to die.

Silently, Caroline stood by Paige.

After an unknown duration, Paige gently pushed Caroline away. She hoarsely said, lowering her red, swollen eyes, “Let’s go back. It’s chilly on the rooftop.”

Caroline felt a sense of fear when Paige behaved this way. She couldn’t fathom what would happen if Paige were left alone.

Clutching Paige’s hand firmly, Caroline spoke slowly. “Come home with me, okay?”

“No.” Paige’s tone turned cold. “I’ll terminate the pregnancy.”

Caroline was momentarily speechless.

If Paige insisted on keeping the child, the baby would be born with AIDS.

It was a disease that would shatter the child’s life, condemning them to endless low self–esteem. But if the child were aborted, Paige and Alex’s future would be veiled in uncertainty. Caroline knew how much

“You should talk to Alex about this, Paige,” Caroline tried to convince her.

“How?” Paige smiled bitterly. “Tell him I’m infected with AIDS and make him think I’m a tainted woman?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“He’ll believe in you if he truly loves you!” Caroline asserted. “Moreover, the reason for your infection is suspicious. Have you been in contact with Daniella recently?”

Paige shook her head. “I haven’t met Daniella alone. Even if I did bump into her, we’d only argue. She never got close to me. Or maybe I frequented the bar too much and contracted it at some point. It only surfaced during this check-”

“That’s impossible!” Caroline interrupted. “This has nothing to do with your past visits to the bar, Paige. Otherwise, why didn’t it show up in previous check–ups?”

“But I genuinely don’t know what happened!” Paige had a nervous breakdown. “I shouldn’t have gone to the bar, drank, or conceived this child! I’ve harmed the child and maybe even Alex!”
