The color drained from Yannie's face when she heard this.
She bit her lip nervously, lowered her head, and said with a hint of sorrow, "The child..."
She sniffed and said in a thick, nasally voice, "The child...died just minutes after his birth."
Luna sighed when she heard this and reached out to pull the poor girl into her arms. "I understand exactly how you're feeling."
On that fateful night two months ago, she, too, thought she had lost her child.
Luna could still remember the sorrow and despair in her heart, so she could fully understand how sad Yannie was feeling at this moment.
That night, the thought of ending her life had crossed her mind after finding out about her child's death.
If it were not for the three children who still needed her, Luna would have killed herself just to join her baby in heaven.
Therefore, Luna could understand Yannie's feelings like her own.
She wrapped her arms around Yannie's trembling shoulders and said gently, "It’s all in the past now, Yannie. Perhaps the child knew his birth would only burden you, which was why he chose to leave this world.
"He's become an angel now, and I'm sure he'll come back as your child again in the next life."
These were the exact words that Luna had used to console herself during those dark days.
