Audrey had never imagined that Claudine had once had a child.
“How could this happen?”
Audrey’s tone was full of concern.
She took Damian’s hand, which was resting on the table, trying to comfort him.
But Damian calmly moved his hand away.
For a moment, Audrey’s face showed embarrassment.
But she quickly covered it up.
“When did this happen?”
Damian took a deep drag on his cigarette and stubbed it out.
“The last time I took Darla to Novahelm for your birthday, Claudine was already pregnant then. It was an ectopic pregnancy.
“When she called me, I missed the call. The doctor said that because treatment was delayed, her body suffered irre- versible damage, and it will be very difficult for her to have children in the future.”
At this point, Damian felt his chest tighten painfully.
He lit another cigarette.
There was a brief silence in the air.
Audrey suppressed the wild joy in her heart, displaying just the right amount of concern and guilt on her face.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know about any of this. If I had, I wouldn’t have asked you to go see the Rustford Tower lights with me.”
Damian exhaled a cloud of blue smoke.
“It has nothing to do with you.”
He stubbed out his cigarette and picked up the box containing the antique shards.
“It’s me who let her down. From now on, I will make it up to her.”
At this moment, Audrey understood everything.
She had always known that Damian was not the kind of man who would change his heart easily.

Dami only felt guilt and sympathy for Claudine.
This thought filled Audrey’s heart with immense joy.
So Dami hadn’t fallen in love with another woman after all.
“Dami, don’t worry. I will definitely help you restore this antique to its original state.”
Late at night.
Claudine’s phone received a text message.
It was a photo.
Under the illuminated Rustford Tower, Damian was holding Darlene, and Audrey was nestled beside them.
A picture of a happy family of three.
The most glaring thing was the time in the lower right corner.
October 8, 2024.
Claudine stared at those numbers, her body trembling uncontrollably.
She would never forget that day!
That was the day she lost her child!

So, while she was lying in a pool of blood, mourning her child, Damian was in Novahelm, enjoying a family reunion.
Damian spent the entire night and finally managed to repair the piece.
He had never done anything like this before, and only now did he realize how difficult it was to piece together all the broken fragments.
Yet the cracks on the surface still remained.
Audrey said that being able to restore it to this state was already quite impressive.
He remembered that at the last antique exhibition, the video Claudine released showed a piece she had restored, and there was no trace of damage visible to the naked eye.
When Audrey heard Damian praise Claudine, a hint of gloom flickered in her eyes.
She quickly concealed it and smiled as she spoke.
“After all, Ms. Hogan and I are professional antique restorers. For your first attempt to turn out like this, it’s already very good.”
Audrey picked up the figurine, about to examine it closely, but Damian took it away from her.
“You’ve already spent a whole night on this, so I won’t bother you any longer. Get some rest.
