Huo Siqing first hurriedly and carefully brought Yi Mu over to lean against him to reduce the burden on Hua Xi.

"Why are they sleeping so soundly?"

"Mom." Hua Xi suddenly shouted, and there was a hint of crying in her hoarse voice.

Huo Siqing heard it and immediately asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Xiaoxi."

Before she finished speaking, she accidentally saw the bloodstains on Yi Mu's clothes and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why is there blood on Ah Mu? Did he fight with someone?"

"And Chao Chao," she then reached out her hand and touched Hua Chao Chao's face, "Why is her body so cold?"

"Chao Chao is dead." Hua Xi uttered these words with difficulty, and her voice seemed to have used up all her strength.

Huo Siqing subconsciously felt that she had heard wrongly, "What did you say, what happened to Chao Chao?"

Hua Xi closed her eyes in pain, tears falling silently, "I failed to protect Chao Chao."

Huo Siqing's face turned pale in an instant, his body shook violently, and he fell heavily to the ground along with the unconscious Yi Mu.

"Xiao Xi, don't scare mom. Chao Chao is fine. She just fell asleep, right?"

Hua Xi did not answer, but slowly knelt down on her knees.

Huo Siqing shook his head and murmured, "Impossible, how could my Chao Chao be dead..."

Happy ran to Huo Siqing, gently nuzzled her with his head, and made a low purring sound.

It was comforting Huo Siqing, telling her not to be sad, that the corpse was not real.

But Huo Siqing didn’t understand what Happy meant, and her tears flowed out uncontrollably, instantly blurring her vision.

Hua Xi gently put down the corpse behind her.

Huo Siqing looked at his pale daughter and held her in his arms with trembling hands.

She hugged Hua Chaozhao tightly, her body twitching violently, and a painful whimper came from her throat, "How could this happen, how could it be..."

The heart-wrenching cry penetrated the second floor and directly woke up Hua Luchuan and Hua Yu who were sleeping.

The father and son recognized it as Huo Siqing's voice and suddenly woke up. They got up quickly and ran downstairs in a panic.

Following the crying sound, they found Huo Siqing, but the scene before them made them stunned.

Hua Luchuan looked at the lifeless Hua Chaochao in his wife's arms. A terrible thought flashed through his mind. His body swayed and he almost lost his balance.

Hua Yu widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"This...what happened? Chaochao she..." Hua Luchuan asked in a trembling voice, every word was filled with deep fear and anxiety.

He knelt beside Huo Siqing, stretched out his hand to touch Hua Chaochao but stopped at the moment he was about to touch her, as if he was afraid to confirm this cruel fact.

Huo Siqing said sadly: "Lu Chuan, our Chao Chao... is gone..."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, and Hua Luchuan and Hua Yu were completely frozen.

After a long while, Hua Yu slowly shifted his gaze to Hua Xi, his eyes full of anger and grief, "Xiao Xi, how did Chao Chao die?"

Hua Xi clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, "He fell into the sea and hit his head on a reef."

She checked Hua Chaochao's injuries and confirmed the cause of her death: she fell into the water and suffered a head injury, becoming unconscious and then drowning.

"Fell into the sea? How could she fall into the sea? Weren't you watching her by her side?" Hua Yu's voice suddenly rose.

Hua Xi couldn't explain, so she could only say, "It's my fault."

Hua Yu rushed forward emotionally, grabbed Hua Xi's shoulders and shook her vigorously, almost collapsing. "Is that all? Didn't you promise me that you would protect Chao Chao? How could you let this happen!"

Hua Luchuan quickly pulled Hua Yu away, "Yu'er, calm down. Now is not the time to blame Xiaoxi."

Hua Yu's eyes were red with tears welling up in them, "Dad, Chao Chao is gone, how can I stay calm!"

Huo Siqing still hugged Hua Chaochao tightly, as if this could keep her daughter.

"Let's arrange Chaochao's funeral first." Hua Luchuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his extreme grief.

Only then did he notice Yi Mu lying on the ground, "Where's Ah Mu? Could he also..."

Hua Xi explained hoarsely: "No, he just couldn't accept Chao Chao's death and fainted."

In fact, Yi Mu woke up once on the plane on the way back, but Hua Xi was worried that he would lose control again, so she knocked him unconscious again.
