Which girl would ever want to be seen hugging the toilet, her face the very picture of misery as she retches her soul out? It was enough to make her feel embarrassed about the act of throwing up itself! "I... I just want to be here for you," Jeffrey stammered, caught off-guard by her reasoning.

"Just go. I'll be fine in a bit." "I'll just turn around. You go ahead; | won't peek.” "Jeffrey, seriously!" Karen was at a loss for words. His meddling had somehow managed to quell the urge to vomit that had been rising within her. "Just step out. I'll splash some water on my face and join you shortly." "Alright." For once, Jeffrey did as he was told and made his way to the door, but Karen stopped him.

"And tell the nutritionist to clear away all that greasy, heavy stuff. I'll just have some plain oatmeal." She really wanted to indulge, but the nausea was too much to bear. Better to play it safe.

"Okay, oatmeal it is." Karen took several deep breaths in the bathroom, then looked at herself in the mirror, feeling a wave of emotion.

Being a woman is no walk in the park! She remembered how Dorothy struggled through her pregnancy, how it had affected her, even declaring she'd never want kids.

But without experiencing the discomfort firsthand, it was easy to forget. Now that she was living it, she understood Dorothy's ordeal all too well.

As soon as she stepped out, Jeffrey was there to offer support.

Karen waved him off. "It's just morning sickness. I'm not so weak that | need to be propped up." "| just want you to be comfortable. The doctor said something sour might help ease the nausea. I've got someone preparing things like pickled plums. When they come, eat what you like and toss what you don't." She nodded and took a seat in the chair Jeffrey had pulled out for her.

Suddenly, she remembered Paige and asked, "You kept your promise, didn't you? You left Paige alone?" Caught off guard by the mention of his ex, Jeffrey's lips tightened.

"You know | wouldn't dare break my promise." "Jeffrey, | get that you're trying to prove your devotion to me and set an example, but don't you think it's too cruel towards Paige? She really loved you." Jeffrey's brow furrowed deeply. "But | don't love her, and she dared to challenge you. Isn't our relationship the way it is now all because of Paige?" He vividly remembered those days when he felt like his heart had been ripped out, the pain so intense he could barely stand.

When he found out Karen was pregnant, he was overjoyed. Learning that she might have to terminate the pregnancy was just as devastating.

It felt like suffocation.

"She was just the catalyst." "Karen, can we not talk about her, please?" The mention of Paige brought back unpleasant memories for Jeffrey.

Karen pursed her lips and decided not to press further.

Soon, the nutritionist brought in the oatmeal.

She was famished, her stomach utterly empty. But for some reason, as soon as she tried to eat, the urge to vomit was overwhelming! Karen was about to leave when Jeffrey suddenly grasped her arm. "It's okay; just let it out wherever. Someone will clean it up!" "I don't want to!" In her haste, she dashed back to the bathroom too quickly to even shut the door behind her.

Following her, Jeffrey rubbed her back gently and whispered, "You can't go on like this, or you'll be a wreck in no time." "What am | supposed to do?" His lips moved slightly, his voice rough as he said, "Karen, this baby... | don't want it anymore."
