Lu Jinnian heard the footsteps behind him getting further and further away. When they finally disappeared, he slumped weakly onto the chair beside him, as though he had lost all his strength. Only then did he carefully think about everything that had just happened.
Two months pregnant, the baby died in the womb...
Lu Jinnian felt as though he was in a nightmare. In the end, those two sentences were all that remained in his mind.
Qiao Anhao was pregnant for two months. In another two months, they would know if it was a girl or a boy. In another eight months, the child would be born. In another year and eight months, the child would be able to waddle in front of him and call him daddy...
It was such a beautiful thing, but such a beautiful thing, how could it have such a tragic and cruel ending?
His child... Qiao Anhao and his child... How could it die in the womb?
At that thought, Lu Jinnian couldn't help but lower his head. He raised his hands to cover his face, and his shoulders started to tremble. Drops of warm liquid seeped out from his fingertips.
How could their child die like this?
Was it because he was an illegitimate child that shouldn't have been born into this world, so even his child had to be punished?
...
When the assistant went downstairs, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to hand Lu Jinnian the paperwork for Qiao Anhao's hospitalization, so he came back. Just as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw the man sitting alone in the long hallway with his hands over his face. Even though he was far away, he could still see his trembling shoulders.
The assistant instantly froze on the spot, not daring to take another step forward. He quietly watched for a long time, but in the end, he didn't disturb the sad and sad man. He silently retreated back into the elevator and left, pretending as though he had never seen him.
He had been with Lu Jinnian for more than seven years. In those seven long years, he had married and had children, but Lu Jinnian, who was a year older than him, had always been alone.
He used to be curious as to whether or not Lu Jinnian had a girl he liked, until half a year ago, when Lu Jinnian actually agreed to be Xu Jiamu's substitute. At the time, he strongly opposed it, thinking it was nonsense. But when he saw Miss Qiao, in that instant, he realized that all these years, Lu Jinnian hadn't been a loner, but in fact, he had long fallen deeply in love with someone.
In this world, no one understood Lu Jinnian better than he did. He had always known that he didn't have a good background, that he was an illegitimate child. He looked arrogant, cold, unsociable, virtuous, and condescending. Everyone said that he had a terrible personality, but who would have known that even though they were both sons of the Xu family, one lived the life of a young master, while the other was at the bottom of society, without any family or care, relying on his own hard work to climb his way up. The reason why he looked so cold was because he didn't want others to see his pitiful and weak side.
He thought that in this world, the only person who had ever made him feel warmth was probably Miss Qiao. Otherwise, he wouldn't have so many times inadvertently stared at Miss Qiao in a daze. Now that Miss Qiao and his child were gone, he must have been in so much pain that he couldn't bear it anymore.
