Xu Chaomu's chest felt cold—she didn't want to hear about anything happening to anyone!
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. Xu Chaomu's temper flared: "Shen Chi, just tell me!"
Little Xiaobao, who was eating breakfast nearby, was startled and almost dropped the bread in his hand. Was Mom fighting with Dad?
"Don't panic. Promise me you'll stay calm when I tell you. No crying, okay?"
Xu Chaomu's heart pounded fiercely in her chest. She gripped the phone tightly, her throat tightening.
Her hand trembled slightly as she waited for Shen Chi's response.
"Mumu, your Third Brother is gone."
With a "clang," the phone slipped from Xu Chaomu's hand, landing on the ground with a crisp sound...
"Mumu!" Shen Chi's voice called out anxiously on the other end!
"Fourth Young Madam!" Butler Ling hurriedly approached. "What happened? What's wrong?"
