Chapter 1779: Chapter 1780: I Knew They Wouldn’t Look for Me Unless Something Was Wrong

...

Tobanya has been taking miscarriage prevention medicine for three days. Although her stomach hasn’t hurt again, her body is getting weaker and her pulse is becoming unstable, showing symptoms of an imminent miscarriage.

At this moment, Tobanya lay pale on the bed, and Meng Zhuqing sat by the bedside, holding her hand tightly, watching over her.

”Imperial Physician, is my child safe?” Tobanya would ask this question every time she saw the Imperial Physician come by.

The Imperial Physicians did not know what to say, so they could only answer: ”I will do my utmost.”

Tobanya’s lips trembled slightly before she closed her eyes.

Meng Zhuqing knew that her tears were flowing inwardly, so he held Tobanya’s hand even tighter.

Throughout these three days, An Jing comforted Tobanya with various words, but when she visited again, An Jing didn’t know what to say, so she stood by the window, looked at Tobanya, and then left.

Upon leaving Tobanya’s courtyard, An Jing spoke to Xiao Changyi: ”Husband, why hasn’t Gong Juechen come yet.”

She didn’t want to complain, but Tobanya’s current condition made her very worried. She was eager to pass the letter to the Old Mama, hoping the Old Mama could give it to Gong Juechen immediately so he would come.

Yet, Gong Juechen hadn’t arrived.

Xiao Changyi was much calmer, and said indifferently: ”We don’t even know where his old home is, but judging by the situation, it must be quite far away.”

An Jing could also guess that the Slayer Tower was quite far from the Imperial City, but: ”The Imperial Physician said that Jade Jade’s pulse is even more unstable now...”

Xiao Changyi remained silent.

An Jing could only sigh. Perhaps, as Meng Zhuqing said, they are destined never to have a child that truly belongs to them.

...

Meanwhile, at the Slayer Tower.

The Slayer Tower is indeed far from the Imperial City, and the messenger traveled tirelessly day and night for three days, finally reaching the Slayer Tower as quickly as possible to personally deliver the letter to Gong Juechen.

”Building Master, this is from An Jing and Xiao Changyi, saying it’s urgent.”

As Gong Juechen took the letter and opened it, he smiled at Ye Zhi: ”Zhizhi, why do I feel Jingjing and Changyi miss me so much? See, they’ve reached out to me again~”

Ye Zhi was playing with her precious daughter Gong Le and upon hearing this, she rolled her eyes at Gong Juechen: ”Just read the letter quickly, Boss and my brother-in-law said it’s urgent, yet you’re still dawdling!”

Gong Juechen was still leisurely, taking the letter out of the envelope as he asked the messenger: ”Did An Jing and Xiao Changyi say anything else?”

”No, they just said everything is written in the letter, and once the Building Master reads it, he will know.”

”Got it. You may go now.”

”Yes!” The messenger immediately retreated respectfully.

Only then did Gong Juechen lazily sit back in the chair, leisurely unfolding the letter to read.

The letter was penned by An Jing, and its content was simple: Tobanya is pregnant, but due to a severe abdominal injury, the Imperial Physician diagnosed that the child cannot be saved, urging Gong Juechen to return quickly to see if he could help Tobanya save the child.

Upon reading it, Gong Juechen laughed, closing the letter with a smile: ”I knew it, they wouldn’t contact me without a reason.”

”What is it about?” Ye Zhi asked.

Gong Juechen chuckled slyly: ”I’m not telling you.”

”You cheeky!” Ye Zhi walked over and grabbed the letter from his hand, ”I can read it myself!”
