She had clearly taken a sleeping pill, so she should be dreamless and without sleep-talking by now, her body completely relaxed.
Yet her body was stiff, like ice-hardened steel, piercing into his heart.
Her despair was like a wall, weighing down on him, pressing on his chest.
Gong Beiyao felt as if he could sense how helpless and anguished she was in her dreams.
And all this pain and helplessness were inflicted upon her by him.
He had only wanted to keep her from getting hurt, but now… her sadness and pain were all because of him.
Gong Beiyao abruptly tossed the medicine bowl into the trash can nearby and took her into his embrace.
After a while, he heard himself say, "Alright, we will keep the baby, stop crying, yeah?"
He felt clearly that Sheng Qianxia, upon hearing these words, seemed to finally find peace and fell back into a deep sleep.
Seeing the tears at the corner of her eyes, his entire heart felt numb with pain.
