Chapter 108 Poison
His voice had always been gentle, carrying a trace of indulgence.
From the moment they met, he had spoken to her this way.
That kind of tenderness was easy to fall into.
But only after living together did one truly understand that tenderness alone was meaningless.
If a man could not protect his woman, then no matter how kind he was, it meant very little.
Julian was still in the room.
When he saw Aurelia, he greeted her respectfully. “Mrs. Hawthorne.”
Aurelia gave a small nod in response.
She carried a bowl while entering. “Julian, you should go eat as well. The IV will still be running for some time.”
“Right away,” Julian said, nodding before leaving.

She walked straight to his bedside with the bowl. “Mary said you haven’t eaten yet. This meal is easy on the stomach. It should be good for you right now.”
Her voice was soft, and the warmth in it was something she had not shown him in a long time.
Dominic had almost forgotten how long it had been since she last spoke to him like this.
The sudden gentleness caught him off guard.
He looked at her quietly, his gaze deep and probing.
Aurelia lifted a spoonful to his lips, smiling faintly. “Eat.”
Dominic looked at her without opening his mouth.
The look in his eyes grew darker.
“What’s wrong?” Aurelia asked.
Dominic finally spoke. Even his breathing felt complicated.
“What happened?”
He could not help asking.

but coldness.
Why had she suddenly changed?
Aurelia scooped another spoonful and brought it closer. “Are you allergic to kindness or what?”
“That’s not it,” Dominic said.
Her kindness was just unexpected and unsettling.
Dominic had always been perceptive. This shift in Aurelia did not feel simple at all.
She fed him slowly, spoon by spoon, the smile on her lips never fading.
For a moment, Dominic almost believed that she had finally made up her mind.
Just as he began to think she would not bring up divorce again, the door suddenly opened, and the newly hired nutritionist, Evelyn, appeared.
“Don’t eat that!”
As Aurelia raised another spoonful to Dominic’s lips, Evelyn’s

Aurelia stopped.
Dominic instinctively turned to look at her.
By then, more than half of the meal had already been eaten.
Hearing Evelyn’s voice, Aurelia looked toward the door.
The warmth in her eyes vanished, replaced by a sharp, icy glare. “What is it?”
Evelyn was visibly panicked.
She rushed forward and snatched the remaining half bowl from Aurelia’s hands.
When she saw how little was left, her eyes widened in fear.
With a dull clatter, the bowl slipped from her weakening grip and shattered on the floor.
The meal and broken porcelain scattered everywhere.
Aurelia stood up and slapped Evelyn across the face. “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Hospital… Take him to the hospital! Now!” Evelyn screamed.

Aurelia looked at her coldly. “You poisoned the meal?”
So there really had been poison.
How ironic.
Dominic felt his chest sink. He looked at Aurelia, then at Evelyn on the floor, danger flashing in his eyes.
“Explain. What happened?”
“Sir, please go to the hospital first. You have to go to the hospital…” Evelyn said, her voice shaking uncontrollably.
Her panic was obvious.
Hearing the commotion, Julian, who had been eating downstairs, rushed up.
“Mr. Hawthorne.”
Dominic was both furious and speechless. “Take me to the hospital first.”
A while later, he was rushed to the hospital in complete chaos.
While he was still on the way, Eleanor and Lauren had already

But when everyone arrived at the hospital, Aurelia was nowhere to be seen.
Their dissatisfaction with her had already reached its limit,
and now, seeing Dominic hospitalized without her presence, it finally boiled over.
“Where’s Aurelia?” Eleanor shouted.
Mary answered, “She is dealing with the nutritionist who poisoned the food.”
To think that Evelyn had actually dared to poison him…
How could this be acceptable?
The moment Eleanor heard the word “poisoned”, her anger flared. “I think she’s the one who did it.”
With everything that had happened recently, she might have wanted to poison the entire Hawthorne family. And now she claimed she was handling the nutritionist.
The nutritionist had no grievance with the family at all. Why would she poison Dominic?
Eleanor had only just been resuscitated not long ago, and her

By the time Dominic was brought into the hospital, he had already lost consciousness.
He was taken straight into the emergency room.
Eleanor sobbed, barely able to catch her breath. “What a disgrace! Why do we have to deal with such a jinx?”
Lauren was also shaken. Sitting in her wheelchair, she went ghostly pale.
