My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 306

I was on the verge of breaking down. So, I pushed Nerissa's hand away and rushed towards the main gate of the neighborhood without a word.

Shocked, Nerissa called me and wanted to chase after me, but Irvin held her back. He bellowed, "Enough! Hasn't you done her enough harm? The baby suffocated to death two months ago! On the night Hendrix and Andrea got engaged. Where were you back then? Where was he when Arianna was trapped in the warehouse, struggling to give birth? The child is dead, and a part of Arianna died with him. She has turned over a new leaf now, and she has nothing to do with Roberts."

I stopped walking. Standing still in a daze, I stared at Hendrix. He was standing not far away from me, looking at me with bloodshot eyes, his agony visible in the dim night.

Irvin's angry voice roared from behind me, "Go back and tell Hendrix to stay away from her. Or I don't mind teaching him a lesson every time I see him."

Hendrix started to move, walking towards me while his eyes locked on mine. I couldn't escape. My muscles were tensed, and my heart felt like it was torn apart. I began trembling.

"What happened to our child?" Hendrix asked, keeping his voice extremely low with emotions beyond description.

My mouth fell open, but I couldn't say a word.

Irvin came up to me, and he saw Hendrix too. His anger rose, evident on his face, "The child has died. He suffocated to death because he couldn't come out of her body. Hendrix, are you satisfied now?"

"Shut up!" Hendrix growled. He was furious, but he tried to suppress his anger. Looking at me with his bloodshot eyes, he asked, stressing every word, "Arianna, I want you to tell me. What happened to our child?"

I wanted to answer him, but the pain I felt stopped me from saying even a word. I could only stare at him.

After a long time, I took a deep breath and replied to him, "He's dead." And it killed me to say these two words.

Hendrix's slender figure stumbled a step backward, seemingly unable to stand steadily. He looked at me, the lights were reflecting off his dark eyes.

And then, it hit me. Hendrix cried.
