With Lady Tala accompanying him, as Hongxu ate, he suddenly found the food tasteless.
Thinking the Chief Fujin had no appetite because of the child in her belly.
But Lady Tala had no appetite because she lost a child.
Her current pallor and weariness were due to the loss of their first child together.
Hongxu suddenly felt uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable.
Putting down his chopsticks, he grabbed one of Lady Tala's hands: "Don't be sad, once you're better, we can try for another. I will protect you."
Lady Tala was stunned by his sudden action.
In truth, she wasn't thinking about that now, just that this postpartum confinement diet was truly bland.
Suddenly held by the Eighth Prince, she stiffened and looked at him, seeing his beautiful eyes serious and determined.
Involuntarily, she nodded.
Her heart was both sour and sweet, and tears followed.
A drop fell splat on the table.
