A glowing crystal floated in the air just above Zhen-Zhen's abdomen. Tristan and Liam glanced in her direction.
The crystal was as big as an ostrich's egg. In that crystal, they could see a black fireball frozen inside. Liam and Tristan thought it was Little Davis.
Tristan refused to believe Liam's words. He would never accept it. Liam told him that he was already late to save their baby.
Tristan knew in his heart that Little Davis was safe and FaMo would save and protect Little Davis.
He wanted to punch Liam when he said those words. It couldn't happen. It shouldn't happen.
What would he explain to Zhen-Zhen once she woke up? How could he tell her that they lost their baby?
Zhen-Zhen would be devastated if that happened! Even he himself couldn't accept it, how much more Zhen-Zhen?
"No! You are wrong! Our baby is safe! Tell me our baby is safe!" Tristan shook Liam. He was still grabbing him on his collar.
Liam grabbed Tristan's hands and looked straight into his eyes.
"Tristan, I also wish that I am just mistaken. Just like you, I don't want Zhen-Zhen to be sad. I don't know how she will take this. I am afraid… afraid that once she learns the truth her inner demon will take over her mind and body and will go berserk in this world."

"No! No! Our baby is safe! Our baby is safe!"
Tristan didn't want to believe that they lost their baby.
Liam grabbed Tristan's shoulders. "Get a grip of yourself, Tristan! If you lose your mind, who will support Zhen-Zhen?! Do you want to lose her as well?!" Liam yelled at him.
Liam couldn't let Zhen-Zhen go berserk and wreak havoc in this world or else, he would have no choice but to kill her to save the humans.
Tristan pushed Liam away. He dropped to the floor. He punched the floor several times until his hands bled.
Tristan felt miserable right now. How could they lose their baby just like that? What happened? How did things end up like this?
Liam kneeled in front of Tristan, holding his shoulders.
"Tristan, stop! You have to be strong for Zhen-Zhen's sake."
Tristan could no longer fight it. Tristan cried in front of Liam. He didn't know what to do.
"How! How could this happen?! What Crystaline potion? Who the hell gave her that?!" Tristan screamed in between his cries.
A cold glint flashed through Liam's eyes. He needed to find out as well.
"We need to find out! What did she do before this happened? Tell me, Tristan, so that I will know."
Tristan fell silent for a moment. Liam was right. He needed to be strong. He had to find out who harmed Zhen-Zhen and their baby.
"I don't know. We were just talking in the living room. My cousins made drinks for everyone. Then Zhen-Zhen suddenly fainted. When she woke up, she was no longer in her usual self."
"The drink! I think the potion is mixed with her drink. Let's go to the living room. I have to see it to confirm."
Liam and Tristan went out of the room in a hurry. Tristan gave the glass of milk to Liam.
Liam assessed it. His eyes widened as he confirmed it. Aside from the Crystaline Potion, he also saw mind control potion.
No wonder Zhen-Zhen could still move after drinking the Crystaline potion. She was supposed to be unconscious and paralyzed for an hour.
Someone tried to control her mind. Since the real Zhen-Zhen was in her deep slumber, her inner demon was awakened and it sensed danger. Its instinct was to protect herself and Zhen-Zhen.
Liam turned to Tristan before nodding his head.
"Tristan… this milk contained Crystaline Potion and mind control potion. We should interrogate your cousins where they get these. Why did they make Zhen-Zhen drink this?"
A chilly glint flashed through Tristan's eyes after hearing that. He balled his hands into fists tightly. He had the urge to beat someone to death right now.
Liam sighed deeply. He could understand Tristan's feeling right now. Even he, himself, was thinking of punishing the person who did this to Zhen-Zhen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"How could they do this to us? To my wife? I will never forgive them." Tristan said through gritted teeth.
"Tristan, what are you planning to do with your family? They witnessed Zhen-Zhen using her power. Do you want me to erase their memory?" Liam asked him.
Tristan was taken aback when he heard that. He almost forgot about this.
Tristan turned to his parents, brother, and grandfather who were still unconscious. He was having conflicting thoughts about this.
After contemplating for a while, Tristan finally gave Liam his answer.
"No need, Liam. I think it is also the right time to know the truth about Zhen-Zhen's identity. I want to know if they will still accept her."
"Okay, Tristan. I understand. Just tell me if you need anything. I will not hesitate to help you and Zhen-Zhen."
Tristan watched Liam. He considered him as his competitor but he had to admit that Liam helped him a lot today. He was grateful to him.
"Liam, thank you for your help. I really appreciate it."
Tristan could now see the disparity in their strengths. Unlike him, Liam could control and stop Zhen-Zhen whenever she would go wild.
If Zhen-Zhen was in danger, Liam could protect her with his power. Tristan realized how useless he was. He couldn't even protect Zhen-Zhen and their baby.
Tristan began blaming himself again for his incapability. His insecurity came back again. He felt helpless.
'What can I do for Zhen-Zhen? I failed to protect her and our baby? I hate myself for that. I am just a useless husband! Damn you, Tristan! Damn you!'
Tristan was still cursing himself inwardly when he felt Liam's hand patting his back.
"Don't be harsh on yourself, Tristan. This is not your fault," Liam blurted out. He could somehow feel that Tristan was blaming himself.
