Despite Lu Qianxuan's efforts to hide his emotions, Xue Ya'er still noticed his fear, anger, guilt, disappointment, and sadness.
Feeling guilty, she reached out to hold her husband's hand and replied, "Husband, I know that no matter what I say now, it's all excuses. But I never intended to hide anything from you or lie to you."
"When I found out about my pregnancy, our situation was dangerous. If you had known about my pregnancy, I worried that you wouldn't be able to focus on the war."
"What's more, there were spies from various factions eyeing our movements. I couldn't take the risk of letting them know about our baby and giving them another handle to threaten you."
Hearing his wife's words, Lu Qianxuan understood that what she did was the best course of action. But even though her decision was logical, he was still unable to forgive himself for being ignorant of her condition.
Leaning down, he hugged his wife and muttered softly, "Wife, I'm sorry."
