Chapter 326

Lu Jinnian heard the footsteps behind him grow further and further away, until in the end, they completely disappeared . Then his body went limp and he dropped to the chair beside him, as though all his strength had been drained . All he could think of was every detail of what had just transpired once more .

Two months pregnant . An intrauterine fetal death . . .

It was like Lu Jinnian was in a nightmare . His consciousness was only filled with those words .

Qiao Anhao was pregnant . Pregnant for two months now . Two more months, and they’d have known the sex of the baby . Eight more months, and the baby would have been born . A year and eight months later, the baby would have been waddling in front of him, mumbling ‘daddy’ to him . . .

Such a beautiful thing . . . Yet how could such a beautiful thing come to such a devastatingly tragic end?

His child . . . Qiao Anhao and his child . . . How did the baby die in the womb?

Lu Jinnian finally couldn’t help but lower his head, and bring his hand to cover his face . His shoulders began to tremble, and a warm liquid trickled down from between his fingers .

Their child, how did the baby die?

Unless it’s because he’s an illegitimate son that shouldn’t exist on this earth . But did his child need to be punished?

–

The assistant downstairs suddenly remembered that he forgot to give Lu Jinnian Qiao Anhao’s operation forms, and so he went back up again . Just as he came out of the elevator, he saw someone sitting on his own in the long corridor . Even though they were quite a distance apart, he saw that the man, who had covered his face, sat with his shoulders trembling .

In that instant, the assistant froze on the spot and didn’t dare walk forward . He quietly looked for a long time, but didn’t disturb the miserable, distressed man= . He only silently retreated into the elevator, as though he hadn’t been there at all, hadn’t seen a thing, and left .

He had been following Lu Jinnian for over seven years . In these long seven years, he had already married and had a kid . Yet, Lu Jinnian, who was older than him by a year, had been all alone in the world .

He was also curious, of whether Lu Jinnian actually had a woman he liked . That was until over half a year ago, when Lu Jinnian promised the Xu family to be Xu Jiamu’s replacement .

At the time, he was strongly against it . After all, it was practically nonsense . But the moment he saw Miss . Qiao, that’s when he knew Lu Jinnian wasn’t actually all alone in this world . He already had someone he loved .

The assistant believed that no one in this world understood Lu Jinnian more than he did . He always knew that his background wasn’t good, and he was an illegitimate child . Though he looked arrogant, cold, a lone wolf, virtuous and condescending, in fact, everyone saw he has a poor attitude . . .

But who would of thought that although there were two sons of the Xu family, one was a young master with the world around his fingers, and the other had the lowest standing in society . Without relatives or anyone to care for him, he relied on his own hard work to survive his teens . The only reason why he looked like he was heartless was actually because he didn’t want anyone to see his pitiful and weak side .

The assistant believed that no one in this world could make Lu Jinnian feel warmth inside, besides Miss Qiao . Otherwise, when the man wasn’t paying attention, he wouldn’t have caught him staring at Miss Qiao, in a daze . Now that the baby was lost, he must be devastated beyond belief .
