“Excuse me, may I ask how old you are?” Doctor Adly asked while looking at Nadine.Even though the file neatly placed on his desk already contained the patient’s full name and age, he still chose to ask her directly.“Nineteen, Doctor,” Nadine answered softly.Doctor Adly fell silent. His expression changed, as if he were carefully weighing his words.“Is my condition serious, Doctor?” Nadine asked anxiously. Her face grew paler. Her heartbeat felt irregular, while her palms were cold and damp with sweat.“I’m sorry… may I ask you something personal?” Doctor Adly said cautiously, hesitation evident in his tone.Nadine gave a small nod.“Do you have a boyfriend?”Nadine slowly shook her head. “I don’t have a boyfriend, Doctor.”Silence once again filled the room. Doctor Adly took a deep breath before finally saying, “I am very confident in the results of the examination. Based on them, you are confirmed to be pregnant.”The words struck Nadine’s heart mercilessly.Tears fell uncontroll

Nadine lay on the bed, her body feeling extremely weak. Throughout the entire day, she had not touched any food at all—even taking a sip of plain water felt like an unbearable burden. All she could do was lie down and cry. All of this was truly unthinkable before. After only two acts of rape, a child was now growing inside her.How am I going to tell Father and Mother about this pregnancy? I absolutely cannot open my mouth at all. Father is still undergoing treatment. Mother… I’m scared. Mother will fall ill upon hearing it. It’s already hard enough for her to take care of Father every day. I can’t bear to burden her even more. What should I do? Will I have to go through all of this alone?Her tears streamed endlessly whenever she thought about it."Why does my life have to be like this? What wrong have I done to receive such a heavy punishment?" Nadine cried loudly. "I don’t want you. Get out of me, come on get out. Have mercy on me, I’m not ready to be your mother." She cried as she

Nadine remained silent. She sat alone, staring into nothingness, lost in thought. The burden she carried was already heavy, yet life seemed determined to test her with something even greater. She was unable to think about what step she should take next. Even the simplest plan for her future had not yet taken shape.“What’s wrong with you?” Clara asked, having watched Nadine for a while.Nadine gave a faint smile and slowly shook her head.“Why do you look so quiet?” Clara asked again, frowning slightly.“Yes, she’s been strange these past few days. All she does is stare off into space,” Riri added from behind the glass display.“It’s nothing,” Nadine replied briefly.“Have you seen a doctor?” Clara asked.“Yes.”“What did the doctor say?”“Just exhaustion.”“Thank goodness.” Clara smiled in relief. “I was really worried about you. But if you’ve already seen a doctor, at least I can relax a little.”“Yes,” Nadine replied shortly.“Are you still throwing up like yesterday?”“It’s less n

At last, she could lie down.Nadine let out a long breath as her body collapsed onto the narrow bed. Her back felt as if it were being pulled in opposite directions. She rubbed her lower back, trying to ease the pain that had been restricting her movements since earlier.“So sore…” she murmured softly.Her hand then moved to her slightly swollen stomach. The touch was gentle, filled with caution.“Tired from keeping me company all day at work?” Nadine said quietly, as if speaking to the small being inside her womb.She closed her eyes, feeling how easily her body became exhausted. Sitting too long, bending down, or standing for extended periods—everything felt unbearable.Was it because of this condition?Was it because I’m pregnant?“Oh God… my body feels completely worn out,” she complained softly.Nadine never dared to tell anyone about what she was feeling. Not her family. Not anyone. Whatever happened to her body, she chose to bear it alone.“We can’t be weak,” she whispered, wip
