Chapter 904 - 126 Child gone?_5
Lin Yuan pursed her lips and gently stroked Panpan’s trembling shoulders, agitated from crying. She understood that although the young girl couldn’t abide by Jin Lingling’s usual arrogance, she bore no resentment toward the unborn child, even though it was Li Chengzhi’s.
And Panpan was especially kind-hearted; otherwise, she wouldn’t have reminded Ying Tao to find Lady Jin when Mrs. Liu’s child was in danger.
"Panpan, don’t be like this, maybe it was just an accident. You said you didn’t lay a hand on her, right? Maybe it’s just the heavens seeing Li Chengzhi’s wrongdoing and thus not allowing his child to be safely born. It has nothing to do with you," Lin Yuan tried to comfort Panpan.
But Panpan suddenly raised her tear-streaked face and said with certainty, "No! Someone did it on purpose!"
Wiping away her tears, Panpan said with conviction, "After she fell, I sneakily went to where she fell when it got dark and found that the floor tile that tripped her had been pried open. Plus, that path is the one Jin Lingling often takes for her garden strolls. How could it be such a coincidence? It’s Lin Siyu; she must have taken matters into her own hands after seeing me fail so many times. How could I not have noticed her? If I’d known she pried up the tile, I would have fixed it again. Then, then the baby wouldn’t have died."
"It’s not your fault; it’s not your fault. Since Lin Siyu did this secretly without you knowing, she certainly wouldn’t let you find out. You are too kind-hearted, Panpan, that’s why she guarded against you," Lin Yuan squeezed Panpan’s shoulder, her eyebrows furrowing, "The child, is dead?"
Panpan sniffled, her mouth twisting in self-reproach and sorrow, "Yes, even though Jin Lingling was more than seven months along, the midwife said she fell too hard and landed on her stomach, resulting in a premature and difficult birth. The baby was born all bruised and suffocated to death. It was a boy! Li Chengzhi went weak at the knees the moment he saw the child. The Boss and Madam were devastated, but what’s the use of saying anything now that the child is dead."
"What about Jin Lingling?"
