When I turned the corner, I heard his voice. He seemed to be calling his secretary again, "Which longevity lock did Monica choose for the child? Yes, wrap it up for me."
It turned out that the dead child was so young.
It was a tiny ball, curled up in an ordinary box, with its hands and feet not even fully developed.
I held the box in my hands and stared at it in a daze. Was it my child who was once connected to me by blood? It was still so small, and its hands and feet were not yet developed. The doctor comforted me by saying that I would have another child in the future, but it would not be it.
I held the box in my arms and couldn't help but cry. "I was sorry, it's my fault that I couldn't save you."
I went back home and packed my things. I didn't touch anything Cody bought for me. I only took the amulet that I had asked for my child, because I went to the temple to ask for it when I first got pregnant.
It was the only thing that belonged to my child.
