Anya fell to her knees with a thud, holding her lifeless child, unable to contain her sobs.
"Joey, my Joey, wake up! Open your eyes and look at Mommy! Mommy is sorry, Mommy came too late! Joey, sob, sob!"
As a pregnant expectant mother, Corinne could not help but feel a pang in her heart witnessing the separation of mother and child. At the same time, she remained cautious, raising her eyes to observe her surroundings, wary of whether there were others in the miscellaneous room.
Anya's screams quickly drew the attention of many people.
"Anya, what happened?"
Lucas hurriedly ran in and his face turned solemn upon seeing the scene.
Anya continued to sob while holding the child, on the verge of collapse as if her breath was about to give out. "Brother! Joey, he has stopped breathing, sob, sob!"
Lucas quickly squatted down and reached out to feel the child's breath, but there was no sign of life. His hand trembled slightly, he closed his eyes in grief and took a deep breath.
Jeremy entered afterward and his pupils contracted upon seeing the scene. "What happened?"
Hearing the man's voice, Anya raised her head, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Jeremy, our Joey, he was murdered!"
Jeremy's brows furrowed, he froze for a moment, then he kneeled down and gently touched the child's small hand. It was still warm, but the child already lost his breath.
Although he only adopted this child with Anya not long ago, despite having no blood relation, he felt deep sorrow and regret.
A very obedient child, not even two years old yet.
Corinne was silently praying for the unfortunate child, but she was suddenly accused of being the killer. She furrowed her brows in surprise, but upon seeing Anya's excellent acting skills, she was not entirely surprised.
Lucas froze, his angry gaze coldly directed at Corinne. "Is it you who did it?!"
Jeremy, who was squatting beside the child, also turned to look at her. His deep and inscrutable eyes revealed no emotions, his position unclear.
The gazes of the crowd were filled with anger as they glared at Corinne, the 'culprit' who could heartlessly harm a child.
Due to Anya's words, Corinne instantly became the target of everyone's accusations. She regained her composure and calmly stated, "It wasn't me."
Anya looked at her in utter despair. "Corinne, the murder weapon is still in your hands. How can you deny it?"
