Huo Jingyan's face turned pale instantly, losing all trace of color, and he lowered his voice to a roar: "Where is my child?"
Xun Nuo didn't think, and coldly spat out two words, "Gone."
Those two words stabbed straight into his chest like two knives, and Huo Jingyan rushed forward, grabbing her shoulders, "Say that again?"
"Gon-e!" Xun Nuo slowed her speech, repeating word by word, "The child is gone, is there a problem?"
Huo Jingyan felt as if he were being skinned alive, his breathing growing more rapid, he tried to stay calm, asking with grit in his voice, "What happened?"
"I fell down the stairs." She answered faintly, her voice calm, watching him suppress his pain like something buried deep in a pond, not even blinking.
"Couldn't you have been more careful?" Huo Jingyan roared at her, eyes misting over, "Seven months, he was about to be born soon!"
