Gu Shuo had only taken two steps while carrying her when he suddenly froze. He watched, eyes wide, as her small hand slipped from his arm. His entire body trembled.
Qian Fanji's gaze fell upon her dangling hand. His legs gave way, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Little girl, wake up. Wake up!" Zhan Chi stepped forward, but he didn't dare... he didn't dare raise a hand to check if she was still breathing.
"What happened? How is the little girl?" Zhan Yi ran over, covered in mud.
Zhan Chi burst into tears. "Dad... Dad, quick, take a look! Check on her, quickly!"
Zhan Yi rushed to Zhan Chi's side in a few large strides. A single glance was all it took; he nearly gasped his last and fainted. "This... This..."
"Dad, please, check on her! Hurry!"
Zhan Yi's old eyes immediately reddened. His trembling fingers found her wrist to check for a pulse. His whole body shuddered again, and his legs gave way as he slowly shook his head.
