Zander put all of his queries and thoughts aside as he greeted the prince. Prince Andrew nodded and told him that he needs to leave now and go back to his mansion. He thanked the prince for escorting them personally to the general's mansion and summoning the imperial physicians at this hour. He could not help but stare at his departing image. He felt very awful at that time! He does not know if it is because of the alcohol or because of the prince's presence a while ago. He chose to forget about his weird thoughts and feelings before asking the imperial physicians about his wife...

"What happened to Beatrix?" He asked them worriedly.

"To answer Minister King, Lady Beatrix bleeds too much but she is now safe. We are also very sorry to inform you that we did our best but we were not able to save the baby..." The head imperial physician told him the truth.

Zander King was so devastated when he heard it. The truth did not immediately sink in...

Beatrix is safe but our baby is gone... The baby is gone... Our baby is gone... What happened to Beatrix that the baby is now gone?!! What happened after I passed out that the baby is now gone?!!

He forgot his manners and directly reached out for the head imperial physician's collar and angrily exploded.

"The baby's gone?!! How?!! Why?!! What happened?!!" He angrily asked while unconsciously twisting the head imperial physician's collar. The other physicians were surprised but managed to separate the two people before one could be killed by the other one! They never thought that the usually gentle Minister Zander will explode like this and almost kill one of them with his own hands!

Scary! Who says that a young and gentle minister is less scary than a ruthless prince?!!

Prince Andrew went home immediately after he is sure that Beatrix is finally safe. He immediately went inside his secret dungeon. The dark interior, brutal scenes, frightening screams, and awful smells are no longer affecting him. He is used to it long ago. While walking together with his secret guards, he thinks of several things... He recalled what happened in the brothel... Now that he carefully thought about it, something is really strange! Beatrix hates him and fears him at the same! But why?!!

Through her actions and expressions, I could see several emotions... She hates me and fears me! The emotions are strong enough to make her physically and emotionally unstable which resulted in her miscarriage... I could feel her anger, pain, and suffering... I could feel her determination to avoid me so bad... But why?!! Where are all those strong emotions coming from? We just recently met but her actions and words are telling me that she knew me before... Aside from those dreams, did we meet before? What did I do so wrong that made her feel that way towards me? I will squeeze the answer from someone!!!

He is already in front of his two victims. It was so hard to get these two people. He even used his secret army to do the almost impossible. The burly man is tight-lipped. He already used all types of torture but he never wavered, but if he use the beauty beside him... That will be another story! He knows that this is a dishonorable way to extort the answers but this is the only remaining method to break them and spill the beans! He smirked as he signaled his secret guards to do his command...

It has been three days since the miscarriage. Beatrix remained on her bed the entire time, crying her eyes out! She never goes out and never properly eats! She is blaming herself for what happened!

Why did I follow my whim to visit a brothel when I am already pregnant? Why didn't I insist to go home early and leave my husband to deal with Prince Andrew alone? Why did I show my face to the public again? I should have remained hidden forever!!! Why did I fail to consider every possibility? Now I shot myself in the foot!!! Why am I so weak, helpless, and useless that I allowed my emotions to rule over my mind? Why am I so stupid that I miserably and constantly become a victim of his trap again and again? Why did I never learn from my previous life experiences? Why can't I win against him? Not even once!!! Why is fate so cruel to me? Now my baby is lost forever!!!

She failed to protect her child again! It felt like she is back in her first lifetime when she miscarried three times! Her pain is amplified but the main reason for her suffering is still her good former husband! She hated him so much that seeing him makes her emotionally and physically unstable! Her poor baby paid the price! There are so many whys, what-ifs, and the likes but she knew that no matter what she does, her poor little one will never come back!
