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 iste. 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 hade 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 circting 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, herpassion 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.


    Over the following days, Gilda isted herself to calm down under the pretext of training. Unfortunately,


    her emotional state showed no improvement.


    One fine morning, Wuhlricht was getting concerned over her istion and approached her door. “Are


    you


    up, Gilda? Severin and his group will be leaving for the Paradise Secret Realm soon. Don’t you want to


    see


    them off?” he asked from outside her room.


    Gilda smiled ruefully with a lonely look in her eyes. “No, I’m not going. Please pass on my regards to


    them.


    I’m almost at a breakthrough.”


    “I see. Okay then,” Wuhlricht responded with a frown. He understood that his daughter might be at a


    open area.


    Severin frowned when he noticed Gilda’s absence. She, too, was a little puzzled when Gilda did not


    come along with Wuhlricht.


    It was understandable that they did not see each other in the days leading up to their departure


    because Severin had been busy crafting pills and Gilda was giving it her all in training. However,


    something did not seem right when Gilda did not show up to see them off. After all, they were all about


    to journey to the Paradise Secret Realm, which was known for being an exceedingly perilous ce.


    “Why isn’t Gilda here to see us off?” She asked as soon as Wuhlricht and the others arrived.


    Wuhlricht smiled awkwardly and replied, “I asked her toe, but she says she could not leave


    seclusion just yet because she seems to be on the verge of a significant breakthrough. However, she


    did tell me to convey her best wishes to all of you.”


    She remarked, “Oh, so she’s about to be a level five royal saint then! Wow, I wish I was in her


    shoes!”


    Severin was very considerate of Gilda’s situation. “It’s understandable that she needs to remain


    focused since she’s already on the brink of a breakthrough.”
