Life After Prison

Chapter 1726
Wuhlricht smiled and replied, “Why would I ever lie to you about something like this? Everything I said is the truth, Severin is the
father of your child. He was the man who saved you.”
Following a pause, he continued explaining. “You can’t expect him to tell you the truth under those circumstances. He’s simply
been waiting for the right time to reveal everything to you, hoping that you’ll understand. But now that things have come to this, I
would have to be the one to tell you.”
Wuhlricht’s explanation caused Gilda’s emotions to shift from the verge of tears to a mixture of relief and amusement. “I see. I
never would have thought that he was the child’s father. Guess I no longer have anything to worry about then.”
All of a sudden, Gilda frowned again and asked worriedly. “But what if he only confessed to me and treated me well because of
guilt and responsibility? I can’t tell for sure if he genuinely cares about me.
Wuhlnicht burst into laughter and reassured her. “Haha, you don’t have to worry about that, Gilda. I asked him about it a while
ago, and he assured me that he genuinely likes you for you. It’s not merely out of a sense of responsibility.”
“That’s a relief.” Gilda said. She felt as though a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. “I’m so glad I wasn’t able to act on my
decision to terminate the pregnancy. Severin would’ve been very upset if he
knew.”
Wuhlricht had a serious tone as he added, “He won’t just be upset. He’d be furious. Your inability to go.
through with your initial plan to terminate the child just goes to show that you have a compassionate
heart.”
Curious, Gilda asked, “But why didn’t he experience any significant attainment breakthrough even though I
did? Didn’t he benefit from it?”
After Wuhlricht shared the events of that night with Gilda, she remarked in surprise, “I didn’t think he
would have the ability to store all that spiritual energy. But it all makes sense now. He wouldn’t have been

able to enter the Paradise Secret Realm if he made a breakthrough, and we would have to leave it to
other people to locate the miniature black tower.”
“That’s right,” Wuhlricht said. “If he had suddenly experienced a significant attainment breakthrough, you would likely have
deduced that he was the man from that night. We would no longer be able to keep it a
secret even if we wanted to.”
“I spent all these days being depressed, and I didn’t even know that it was him. I’m going to teach him a lesson when he’s back.”
Gilda then sighed and shot Wuhlricht a glare. “And you were in on it with him! Do you have any idea how miserable I’ve been
these few days?”
Wuhlricht could only mumble helplessly. “I’m just as surprised as you to find out about the pregnancy. It’s almost two months
since that day, and itll be another three months before he returns. Your belly might be noticeably bigger by then.”
Gilda chuckled. “Haha, he’ll probably be shocked to see me pregnant. I bet even Shella and the others will be surprised.”
“Haha, I can already imagine it!” Wuhlnicht laughed along “Take it easy during this period, okay? Try to avoid going on for no
reason and just stay at home. I’m worried you might overexert yourself and bring risk to the pregnancy.”
Gilda rolled her eyes playfully and said, “You make it sound like I’m weak and fragile. Severin and his
family aren’t around, so it’s not like I have any reason to go out either. I suppose I’ll just have to train to pass the time.”
