-Carrie stated, “From now on, I need to take medicine every time.” Mr. Labbe reminded her, “Or I might arrange for you to go to the hospital for a sterilization procedure. This way, you won’t have to take medicine constantly.”

“All medications are 30% toxic, and taking too much can lead to serious side effects.” Carrie replied, “I will take the medicine.” She was not interested in undergoing ligation surgery.

No matter how young or naive she was, she understood that after a vasectomy, she would never have the opportunity to become a mother.

Why hadn’t Mr. Labbe considered a vasectomy? If he had any compassion for her and practiced effective contraceptive measures, she wouldn’t still be pregnant despite taking the pills and needing an abortion.

Mr. Labbe replied, “Do whatever you want.” Ultimately, it wasn’t his body that was affected, so he didn’t care.

He would not allow Carrie to give birth to his child. His children from his first marriage had grown up, so he did not worry about having a successor.

While Mr. Labbe had little affection for his first wife, he was very dedicated to his children, nurturing each one with care.

He also had several illegitimate children with two mistresses he particularly favored.

These two women were very compliant and lacked ambition, so he allowed them to have his children and provided them with a house.

He bought them a car and paid monthly living expenses. As long as it aligned with his desires, he didn’t care, even if it upset his wife.

It was not what he wanted.

For those women who secretly became pregnant to gain power, he left it to his wife to handle.

He was quite pleased with Carrie’s youth and beauty but looked down on her IQ, which was significantly lower than he expected.

behind his first wife. Consequently, he would not allow Carrie to give birth to his child.

“You should go to bed early. I will arrange for a doctor to come by tomorrow to examine you and confirm if you are genuinely pregnant. If you are indeed pregnant, have the doctor prescribe some medication so you can terminate the pregnancy. The month is light now, so it won’t harm you too much. After the abortion, just focus on rebuilding your health. You’re still young, so take some time to rest. In ten days, you should be fine.”

Mr. Labbe initially intended to have a romantic relationship with Carrie. However, upon learning that Carrie might be pregnant, he lost his interest. Even though he would not allow Carrie to carry his child, he would refrain from having any physical contact with her during her pregnancy, fearing that she might miscarry, which would bring him bad luck.

Mr. Labbe left shortly after. Carrie sat on the bed, placing her hand on her belly. Was she truly pregnant? Camryn and Callum had been together for a long time, yet Carrie had never heard any news of Camryn being pregnant. Perhaps Camryn was unable to conceive. Furthermore, Camryn was on medication, which was known to be quite harmful. She likely did not want to risk getting pregnant. If she took too many medications, her body might not be suitable for carrying a child.

That would be advantageous for Carrie. If Camryn couldn’t have children, she would remain childless for life. No matter how much Callum loved Camryn, he would undoubtedly divorce her upon discovering her infertility.

Thinking this way filled Carrie with a sense of pride; she felt like a normal and healthy woman, unlike Camryn, who had…

Carrie soon lost her sense of complacency. So what if she could get pregnant? Children were not permitted. She had been taking birth control pills, which could affect the child. What if she developed a deformity? Mr. Labbe also didn’t want her to have a child. Carrie murmured softly, “Do you think I genuinely want to be pregnant with your child? I don’t even want to give birth to your child.” She knew she had to take effective contraceptive measures in the future. She couldn’t afford to be careless like she had been this time. She was pregnant but couldn’t keep it and needed an abortion. She wondered if having a miscarriage would be painful. Carrie recalled that when she first went to college, one of her classmates had an abortion. She remembered her classmate being very weak and looking extremely unwell afterward. She had to rest for a week before she started to feel better.
