“Bite him to death?”

Chu Xiaotian’s heart suddenly felt pierced, and a heavy sadness surged from within.

He carefully held the box, his eyes flustered and at a loss. “How could this happen? This is the child of mine and yours… Our child! Why didn’t you ever mention this?”

“Mention it?” Su Han laughed. “By the time I knew about his existence, he was already dead. Yingxue performed surgery on me, removing the worms and the child.”

If it weren’t for Min Jia and Madam Sheng’s schemes, her child would have grown safely in her womb, to be born in peace.

But all of it… was destroyed.

Chu Xiaotian’s hands trembled as he clutched the box tightly to his chest.

Anger, regret, despair, and a myriad of other emotions surged through him. He had never cried in front of others before.

But now, he couldn’t hold back the tears. “My child is dead! My child…”

He was gone.

He was already a father!

But his child, dead at the hands of his mother and sister!

“It wasn’t me, son. You can’t blame me. I didn’t know she was pregnant, I didn’t know…”

Madam Sheng, just awakening, heard Su Han’s words. She trembled at the sight of the lump of flesh in Chu Xiaotian’s arms.

How could she have known she would end up killing her grandson?

“Su Han, it’s all your fault! You wretch, why didn’t you tell us you were pregnant? You… You killed my grandson!”

“Enough!”

Chu Xiaotian barked at Madam Sheng. “What more do you want? My child is dead because of you and Min Jia. What more do you want?!”

“Son…”

Madam Sheng’s heart tightened. She walked unsteadily to Chu Xiaotian. “Son, you can’t blame me. I just didn’t like Su Han. I didn’t intend to harm your child, he… hee’s still my grandson!”

“Your grandson was born by your daughter-in-law. You harmed your daughter-in-law. How can you still have the face to see your grandson?”

Tears streamed down the Old Regional Prince’s face. He was also deeply disappointed in Madam Sheng.

Chu Xiaotian held the lump of flesh and signed the divorce decree.

His eyes were empty as if he had lost his soul.

He missed Su Han so much, but he didn’t even dare to speak to her.

He couldn’t protect her, couldn’t protect the child. What right did he have to speak to her now?

Su Han signed the divorce agreement after him, and Liang Jin kept it.

Chu Yihan crossed Su Han’s name off the list of the imperial clan and announced, “From now on, you are the daughter of the Su family.”

Su Han kowtowed to Chu Yihan. “Thank you for your grace, Your Highness.”

She was finally free.

Su Dingwei and Qin Wan comforted their daughter with relief.

Su Yingxue walked up to Chu Yihan and bowed. She wore a charming smile. “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Chu Yihan pinched her nose. “I’ve said before, there’s no need for thanks between us.”

Su Yingxue smiled sweetly.

Just as she was about to leave with Chu Yihan, her clothes were suddenly tugged.

It was Min Jia.

She grabbed Su Yingxue with all her might, her eyes bloodshot, her face filled with resentment and unwillingness. “Su Yingxue, we lost. My mother and I lost! My brother is gone too! You’ve achieved your goal! Can you…”

She panted, enduring the intense pain in her leg, then looked up again, her eyes filled with hope.. “Can you tell me what you did to Brother Jinxuan? Is he alright? I’m so worried about him! Please, i beg you, don’t hurt him, okay?”
