Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1921

After she fell asleep.

Channing Irving made a call to his subordinates, instructing them to deploy more men to secretly protect Coralie Quill.

Even though Eclara City was the Schwartz family's territory, and someone always covered Coralie's tracks every time she visited.

Channing was still uneasy.

He couldn't allow her to be in even the slightest bit of danger.

...

Late at night.

Coralie woke up from a nightmare with a start, drenched in cold sweat.

Her entire body felt as if tens of thousands of ants were biting her simultaneously. The pain radiated through every inch of her.

In her dream, a severely burned Ari Lowell wept tears of blood and demanded, "Why do you like other men?"

Hadn't she promised to only love him for the rest of her life?

Coralie struggled to sit up, frantically digging through her bag for her medication while gasping for air to ease the suffocating tightness in her chest.

Just as she was about to put the pills in her mouth, she suddenly remembered the baby in her womb.

No.

Taking these pills would harm the child.

She tossed the medication into the trash can, curled up on the floor, and hugged herself in agony.

This was the psychological trauma left behind by the fire all those years ago.

It flared up from time to time.

And every time it did, it felt as though her skin was being scorched by raging flames.

The mental anguish was a hundred times worse than the physical pain.

There was no permanent cure for now; she could only rely on psychiatric medication and painkillers to take the edge off.

Because of her pregnancy, she hadn't taken her medication for a long time.

Since the sofa had been delivered yesterday, Channing was sleeping in the living room.

To prevent him from noticing, Coralie had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure it.

Just a little longer.

Once daylight broke, she would be fine.

—

Two days later.

Kurt Schwartz and Ebony Fox's wedding day.

Coralie changed into her bridesmaid dress, had her makeup done, and obediently stayed by Ebony Fox's side.

"Kurt should be here soon, right? I'm going to grab the game props!"

Coralie had brainstormed quite a few wicked tricks to mess with Kurt.
