Taking The Initiative

Ava's smile stiffened, blinking her eyes a few times to make sure that she did not hear it wrong. She observed Tang Shaoyang's expression for a moment to realize that it was not a joke. Even if it was a joke, it was a terrible joke.

Tang Shaoyang pulled her into his embrace, caressing her back, "I am… sorry…" He did not know what to say aside from sorry. He was to blame for what happened. Not just because he was the root of the problem, but because he was not there when the accident happened.

Ava's body shook as she started to sob. She cried on his shoulder as Tang Shaoyang caressed her back. He just hoped that his presence was enough to help her to stay strong. After a while, she pushed Tang Shaoyang and asked, "Where's his body?"

"Virion's body is preserved for the funeral. They plan the funeral after you give birth."
