Selma Payne's POV:
I couldn't bear to continue because tears of despair were already gathering in Carey's eyes.
"So, you mean that this child is very likely to... To kill me?"
I didn't know what to say as Carey gradually cried.
From a mother's point of view, I didn't want to kill a little life like this.
However, from a woman's point of view, I was also confused and angry. Did mothers deserve to sacrifice for their children? Why did fate impose more suffering on a person like Carey, who was forced to become a 'mother'?
If she kept this child, she would have to live in fear of death every day until the day of delivery. The next 'price' might even make her unable to wait until the day of delivery.
If she chose to let this child go, this would haunt her for the rest of her life. Perhaps she could never get rid of the guilt, even if the child was forced on her, even if the child could have killed her.
