What's your feeling at the beginning? The aloof lawyer is crying!

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes focused, and hummed a soft lullaby. The low and soothing voice seemed to have a magical power, which gradually calmed her originally irritable heart until she fell asleep peacefully in his arms with a happy smile on her lips. At that time, they were looking forward to the arrival of a new life, as if they saw the picture of a happy life in the future slowly unfolding before their eyes. They firmly believed that happiness would be like the eternal sun, shining on them all the time.

However, fate was like a cruel executioner, mercilessly giving them a heavy blow. The scene of the car accident that day flashed through her mind like a nightmare. It was a day with a drizzle, and the streets were wet and slippery. The harsh brake sound was like the roar of a demon, breaking the original peace, followed by the sound of broken glass, which was as sharp as a needle piercing the heart. Her eyes were full of fear, and she shouted desperately, her voice changed because of fear.

The child was gone, and at that moment, the world seemed to have stopped turning. Gu Jiang's originally bright eyes suddenly became dim, and the love in his eyes was replaced by pain and resentment. His eyes were like an icy abyss, without a trace of warmth.

His face was ashen, veins bulged on his forehead, and he roared at her: "It's all your fault! If you hadn't insisted on going out, how could this have happened!" His lips trembled, and every word was like an icy arrow, piercing straight into her broken heart. The voice kept echoing in her ears like a spell.

Two days later, the hospital's dazzlingly white walls and the pungent smell of disinfectant made Lin Yizhi nervous. Her body trembled slightly and her hands clenched unconsciously. She was wearing a loose light blue coat, her face was still pale, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

When the doctor said "Congratulations, you are pregnant" with a gentle smile, tears welled up in her red and swollen eyes again, slid down her cheeks and wet her collar.

Gu Jiang stood aside, his figure still tall and straight, but revealing an unconcealable fatigue.

His face had become much thinner, with clearer features. His complexion was as pale as the first snow in winter. His lips were trembling slightly and his eyes were wide open with shock and disbelief. He asked with difficulty, "Really?" His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

There were complex emotions in his eyes. There was surprise for the arrival of a new life. That surprise was like a ray of light suddenly appearing in the darkness, flickering in his eyes. But more of it was guilt and fear for the past. He was afraid that this was another trick of fate, and that he would fall into the abyss of loss again.

Lin Yizhi burst into tears. She covered her mouth with her hands, trying to suppress her crying, but the sadness still leaked out from between her fingers: "Yes, but I'm so scared. I'm afraid it will be like last time." Her shoulders kept shaking, and her whole body was like a leaf trembling in the wind.

A complicated look flashed across Gu Jiang's eyes. There was guilt, which drowned him like a tide and made his eyes dim. There was worry, and his brows were tightly furrowed, forming a deep "川" character between his eyebrows. The wrinkles were like marks left by the years on his face, revealing the pain in his heart.

His lips moved and he said slowly: "I'm sorry, Yizhi, I was a bastard before and blamed all the mistakes on you." His voice was a little hoarse and filled with deep regret, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat with difficulty.

He didn't dare to look Lin Yizhi in the eye. Instead, he looked at the ground, his eyes full of regret, as if there was something on the ground that could allow him to escape this heartbreaking scene.

Lin Yizhi looked at him, her eyes full of pain, that pain was like a deep ravine, engraved in her eyes. Her lips trembled slightly, and her voice was a little hoarse: "At that time, what you said was really hurtful, I thought our lives were over." There was a hint of resentment in her eyes, but more of endless sadness.

Gu Jiang walked slowly, each step seemed heavy and difficult, as if there were thousands of pounds of stone tied to his feet. He stretched out his hand, which was trembling slightly, as if he was hesitating, or afraid of being rejected.

He gently held her hand, his palms were full of sweat, and the sweat conveyed his inner tension and anxiety. He looked into her eyes, his eyes were sincere and honest, with a slight red bloodshot in his eyes, which was the proof of countless sleepless nights: "I know, I was wrong. This time, we must be good. No matter what, I will never let you face it alone again."

Lin Yizhi felt the warmth of his hand, which seemed to have a power that made her calm down a little. She sobbed and said, "I really blame myself. After so long, the pain is still so clear." Tears welled up in her eyes again, as if the painful memories came to her mind again.

Gu Jiang held her in his arms, his arms tightly around her, as if he wanted to merge her into his body and give her endless protection. He placed his chin on top of her head and gently rubbed it, as if he was comforting a wounded animal. He whispered, "It's all over. This child is our hope for a new beginning. Let's protect him together."

His voice was choked, tears welled up in his eyes, but he refused to let them fall. His body was shaking slightly, a manifestation of excitement and emotion. He knew what this new life meant to them, it was redemption, a chance to start over.

Once upon a time, they had a child, who was the fruit of their love.

But in a sudden car accident, the child was gone. In grief, Gu Jiang blamed her for all the mistakes, and his resentful eyes were like a sharp knife, ruthlessly cutting her heart.

Gu Jiang came to this strange town with a heart full of scars. She always wore plain clothes and walked silently on the streets of the town, with empty and sad eyes.

His once vibrant face became thin and haggard, and the light in his eyes disappeared completely. He was like a flower that had lost the sunlight, withering alone in the darkness.

During those days, sadness followed him like a shadow, and he was tormented by memories every night, thinking that if he had been more careful at the time and had kept an eye on Lin Yizhi, perhaps everything would not have turned out this way.

He often woke up in the middle of the night, and the endless pain gnawed at her soul like a demon.

And now, the arrival of a new life has given him mixed emotions.

Lin Yizhi touched her belly with her hand. It was as flat as before, but she could feel a small life sprouting. (End of this chapter)
