While they were engaged in a heated argument, their child slipped into a state of unconsciousness due to the persistent fever.
"That's enough! No matter what it is, the child is of utmost importance right now. Leave your issues for later!" Mr. Gu interjected.
Gu Dongcheng let out a sigh and said, "If only Xiaoning were here."
"Haven't you heard that you can't cheat or escape death as long as it's Heaven's will? No one can change what's written by fate. Besides, I heard that those who have sinned too much are bound to receive their karmic retribution," Mrs. Gu added.
While Mrs. Chi stood by the side, Chi Rui'er retreated backwards, resisting her urge to speak.
The child soon passed away, before the New Year even arrived.
The child lived for only a few months.
Gu Dongcheng was filled with immense sorrow as he carried his lifeless son in his arms.
