After that, Paige grabbed Caroline’s hand and pleaded with the latter, “I’m begging you, Carol. Please don’t

tell Alex about this! Help me cover it up and stay with me when I get the abortion, okay? I can’t let the

child suffer in pain in the future!”

Grief–stricken, Caroline looked at Paige. “Shouldn’t you let Alex know about this?”

“No!” Paige refused firmly. I’m begging you, Carol. Don’t tell him!”

“He’ll learn about your abortion sooner or later.” Caroline didn’t stop trying to persuade Paige. “Your

misunderstanding with Alex will get worse if you keep it a secret from him and if he learns about it in the

future.”

“Yes, I want that to happen!” Paige lost her mind and yelled, “What right do I have to be with him now? I’m

infected with AIDS! I have AIDS! I’m afraid of disappointing and watching him get it with me!”

Caroline felt sorry for Paige and asked, “Are you going to suffer through this alone?”

“I’m reaping what I’ve sown.” Crying, Paige smiled helplessly. “I’m begging you, okay? It’s the first time I’m

begging you, Carol… Just grant my wish, please…”

“Have you ever thought of the possibility that Alex might be willing to accept you?” Caroline asked.

Paige replied, “I won’t give him the chance because I can’t persuade myself, and I really love him very

much.”

Paige cried more vigorously.

Exhaustion overwhelmed Caroline at the sight of Paige’s despair and grief. She tried to ask herself if she

would choose to be with Evan if she were to bump into the same kind of situation.

But she gained the answer without much deliberation.

She wouldn’t do so, and she would try all means to make Evan stay away from her.

Caroline would never drag him into the abyss with her even if she were to suffer alone in the darkness.

Taking a deep breath, Caroline gave in. “Okay, you have my word. But you must promise me not to give up

cancel

on yourself, and you must get treatment.”

Besides, she would help Paige find the cause of the latter’s infection–she wouldn’t just let them off the

hook.

“Okay.”

Alex called Paige at 5:00 p.m. because the latter hadn’t come back for a long time.

Unexpectedly, he couldn’t reach her after a few calls. Hence, his anxiety drove him to phone Caroline.

After a while, Caroline picked it up.

Nervously, Alex questioned, “Is Paige with you, Caroline?”

Caroline glanced at Paige, who was unconsciously lying on the hospital bed because of the anesthesia.”

Yes.”

“Where are you guys? Why aren’t you back yet?”

After a deep breath, Caroline said, “Come to the hospital now.”

Half an hour later, Alex rushed to the ward speedily.

A bad feeling grabbed his heart when he saw Paige lying on the hospital bed quietly. “What’s wrong with

Paige?”

Caroline kept her head down. “Ask her yourself when she wakes up.”

“But…” Alex asked in confusion, “Weren’t you with her? Don’t you know what happened?”

Caroline looked up at him. “Keep quiet and let Paige rest more.”

“Caroline!” Alex gasped. “What are you hiding? Did you stay at the hospital all day? Paige lied about going shopping, right? What happened?

Just tell me!”

Paige slowly opened her eyes and spotted Alex, looking anxious. His presence brought Paige pain and grief. She longed to express herself but

held back. Weakly, she touched her flat belly, unable to convey

the turmoil within.
