Chapter 455

Qiao Anhao couldn't help her eyes from turning red . She reached out and hugged Lu Jinnian's neck, burying her head in his chest . After a moment, she raised her head slightly towards his ears, in a low whisper, she apologized, "I'm sorry . "

Even though she wasn't loud, Lu Jinnian could hear every word . His body froze, but he didn't say anything, wordlessly hugging her closer .

Qiao Anhao remained silent . In this deserted place, they quietly enjoyed each other's embrace .

After a seemingly long time, the rain stopped, sinking the forest into silence . The only sound was coming from the crackling fire .

When Qiao Anhao finally calmed down, she began to think of what Lu Jinnian had said . She turned to face him slowly . "Lu Jinnian, why did the baby die?"

Lu Jinnian froze slightly, remembering the swallow’s nest that Han Ruchu had given her . Menace with a mixture of hatred and heartache flashed through his eyes, but it was gone in an instance . Before Qiao Anhao could detect any change, he had returned back to normal .

Han Ruchu was her mother-in-law, the mother of the man she loved . . . If she were to know the truth, it might cause a rift between her and Xu Jiamu . . . The only reason Han Ruchu had targeted her was because of him, it was all his fault . . . .

In an emotionless voice, he explained, "The first three months of pregnancy are usually the toughest, it's very easy to have a miscarriage . At that time, you were still filming, the lack of rest and proper nutrition caused it to happen . "

Qiao Anhao recalled her nausea . She had originally thought that it was a normal gastric problem, but now that she thought about it, it was probably from the pregnancy . Afterwards, the nausea had stopped and she thought that her stomach was fine, but it was actually because the baby had died . . .

If she had listened to Lu Jinnian and visited the hospital early on, the tragedy wouldn't have happened and she wouldn't have ended up misunderstanding him .

She remained in deep thought for a long while before asking softly, "Lu Jinnian, then why didn't you tell me the truth?"

Lu Jinnian seemed to feel sick . He leaned against the cave’s wall, staring at the fire . "Qiao Qiao, I just didn't want you to be upset . "

I didn't have any other intentions, I just didn't want you to feel that heart wrenching pain that I had felt on that day .

I just wanted to carry all the pain and shoulder all your burdens .

He was just worried that she would be upset, that’s why he didn't tell her . It wasn't because he didn't want the child . . . Qiao Anhao started to feel a stinging sensation in her eyes . She softly murmured, "I'm sorry . "

She waited slightly, then asked uncertainly, "Lu Jinnian, will you blame me?"

Lu Jinnian couldn't keep the cough in any longer, starting another fit . "Huh?" he asked after .

"Will you blame me for misunderstanding?" Qiao Anhao repeated uncertainly .

"No…"

Before he could say another word, he fell onto her .
