Edward Stephens didn't speak further; he just reached out and held her tightly in his arms.
His body warmth seemed to finally break the calm Daisy Ginger had been forcing herself to maintain. Her slender shoulders started to tremble lightly. She clutched his clothes tightly and let out low sobs while nestled in his embrace.
Their first child together was gone just like that.

It was noon when Daisy Ginger went to the hospital for a complete blood count and found out that she was already pregnant.
Although she wasn't as eager as Edward Stephens for their child, she had subconsciously prepared for the child's arrival.
She had thought she wouldn't be too happy, so when losing it, she shouldn't feel too sad.
But when she felt the blood trickling down her leg, her mind went blank.
It was a suffocating pain even more overwhelming than the blankness during the car accident.
The child was gone.
