Kapitel 432: I will do better

"What do you mean by that?" Luciana's father asked in dread. 

He had just returned from the courtroom in a bad mood and heard the good news that made him temporarily forget how angry he had been this morning, only to hear something even worse. 

"She... cannot talk anymore?" He asked his wife, hoping he had been the one to hear wrong.

When he returned earlier, she had pulled him out of the chamber before he could even say much to Luciana to tell him about the news. She was distraught, and her face was swollen from crying so much. 

"She... may not live long either. Our poor child." The woman said this and cried heartbreakingly. 

"W-hat?" Her husband asked in shock and closed his eyes, shaking his head in disbelief. 

"I should have had a son." He said with regret.

The crying woman looked at her husband, thinking she had not heard him correctly.
