Chapter 495 Who Did You Offend?

Xiao Lijin hung up the phone, ran his fingers through his hair, and said, "Qingzhu, there's something I need to tell you, but please, don't get too emotional."

She vaguely knew that it must be bad news.

"What is it exactly? Tell me."

He took a moment to gather his emotions—or more precisely, he was figuring out how to break it to her.

"Qingzhu, after Lingling had dinner with you and was on her way back, she was attacked by some strange people. She lost the baby in her womb, and she nearly died from a severe hemorrhage afterward. But, she has now regained consciousness and just needs to recuperate slowly."

"This can't be! How could this happen?"

He sat down beside her and said, "You can't blame yourself for this."

"How can I not? I knew she was pregnant. There was no need for her to come out at all. I could have just asked over the phone instead, then none of this would have happened, would it?"
