The news was indeed a massive shock to Huo Yunshen as he could feel his head ripping apart. It hurt so much that he hugged his head tightly.
“Hubby! Are you okay?” Jing Xi asked, realizing Huo Yunshen was in pain. “You have to calm down! I held the incident back from you because I was worried that something like this would happen… Please, stay strong…”
“Jing Xi… I’m sorry…”
Huo Yunshen blamed himself. He blamed himself for having something wrong with his body when his family needed him the most.
He knew that he could’ve protected his family instead of lying on the bed.
Huo Yunshen was in pain, from the sadness, the anger, and the self-blame.
But he was also in pain when he thought of the hardship that his wife had to go through for the past few days.
The couple hugged each other for a long time.
“Did someone go look for him?” Huo Yunshen asked.
“Dad, big bro, and uncle are looking for him… But they still couldn’t find him… Yunshen… We have to accept the truth… We only have one son left…”
They should’ve returned to Yunjing Manor happily, but now, the manor was shrouded in sadness.
The party for the babies was also canceled.
The room that had been prepared for the twins, where everything came in pairs, all became Little Grape’s sole belongings.
“Why don’t we remove the other half?” Huo Yunshen asked, worried that his wife might be in pain when she saw the things that were supposed to belong to Little Apple.
“No, keep them. What if Little Apple comes back one day?”
Jing Xi could even understand why she would hope for something nearly impossible.
She really hoped that Little Apple was still alive, that he would return someday in the future.
Huo Yunshen sighed and got prepared to leave for Mount Mang.
Both Jing Ruyue and Helian Wei were also living in the manor to take care of the newborn. The couple left Little Grape with Jing Xi’s parents and went to Mount Mang.
Ye Xun was the only witness, having seen everything with his own eyes. Huo Yunshen asked Ye Xun to go with them, and Huo Sanyan also followed them to accompany Jing Xi.
They arrived at the windy and chilly canyon.
Huo Yunshen helped his wife put on a fleece jacket and a scarf to protect her.
They walked towards the edge of the canyon and looked below, but all they could see was fogs and infinite depths.
“Little Apple… Mommy’s here!” Jing Xi shouted, hoping that she could get a reply.
Tears began to fall again as Huo Yunshen hugged his wife.
They should’ve been a family of five, and now, Little Apple was gone.
The chances of him being alive after falling into the canyon with Mo Yutian was very slim.
If they were, they should’ve been found by now.
“I really want to go down and look for him…”
Jing Xi hated herself for not having a pair of wings or the ability to walk on walls. If she had either one of them, she could’ve gone down to look for her son.
