Chapter 139 Her World
Dominic slid a dish closer to Aurelia. “Have some of this.”
Aurelia said nothing.
At a glance, she knew he was once again handling everything based on his own assumptions.
“Your period should be about over by now, right?” Dominic continued.
Aurelia’s hand paused slightly on her fork as she lifted her eyes to him.
In that instant, the word “period” sounded especially jarring between them.
“So even now,” she said softly, “you still think it wasn’t…”
“Aurelia.”
She didn’t get to finish. Dominic cut her off, his gaze softening.
He reached out.
His warm palm covered the back of her hand. “Take care of your health. There will be children This isn’t something X Close

Aurelia said nothing.
Not something to rush?
Which meant he still didn’t believe she had actually been pregnant this time.
Lauren and Marilyn had framed her beautifully, airtight and convincing, enough that Dominic believed it without question.
Aurelia pulled her hand away. “Children?”
Dominic fell silent.
She gave a short, humorless laugh. “I’ve already lost two. Unless I’ve lost my mind, why would I ever choose to have another with you?”
Another child?
With a family like the Hawthornes, lineage wasn’thing more than a liability. The less said about heirs, the better.
Hearing the biting sarcasm in her voice, Dominic inhaled sharply.
“You-”

Aurelia said, “If it really had just been menstrual bleeding, that would have been better.”
If she had any choice, she wished this pregnancy had been fake, that she had never been pregnant with his child at all.
Now, the very idea of having Dominic’s child filled her with resistance.
Dominic said firmly, “I know you and Lauren have had some misunderstandings. But it stops now. From now on, she won’t appear in your life again.”
He had already made his decision.
If the Hawthorne family had caused Aurelia this much suffering, then there was no need for further contact.
“From now on, your world will only have me in it.”
If getting along was impossible, then they simply wouldn’t interact with anyone else.
Aurelia echoed softly, “My world…”
At those words, she laughed.

Dominic alone.
The television was playing the day’s headlines.
Suddenly, the broadcast cut to breaking news. “Katherine Halbrook, an obstetrician and gynecologist at St. Vincent Medical Center, is under formal investigation for long-term bribery, illegal termination of pregnancies, and falsification of medical records.”
At the mention of the downtown OB-GYN being investigated, Aurelia and Dominic both turned toward the screen almost at
the same time.
As the footage shifted, a face they knew all too well appeared clearly.
The anchor continued, “If the allegations are confirmed, Katherine Halbrook will have all medical licenses revoked and will face prosecution under the law.”
Aurelia looked away. She glanced at Dominic with a faint smile at the corner of her eye.
She said nothing, but the quiet mockery cut like a needle straight into his chest.
Dominic’s expression had already darkened completely.

Seeing him remain silent, Aurelia spoke.
“As for whether there was really a misunderstanding between Lauren and me, that still needs to be examined.”
Just moments earlier, Dominic had said there were misunderstandings between her and Lauren.
Now the bribed doctor was on the news.
This was no misunderstanding at all.
Aurelia placed a piece of beef into her mouth. “What did that doctor tell you back then? That I was bleeding heavily from my period?”
As she said this, she laughed.
“That was it?” she said. “That was the excuse she gave you?”
Heavy menstrual bleeding did exist, but how rare was it?
And Aurelia had always been in good health. The odds of that happening to her were extremely low.
Yet Dominic had believed such an absurd explanation. What should she do?

area? He was blind enough to be played like a fool.
Katherine had fooled him.
Dominic’s face grew darker by the second.
He looked at Aurelia as she continued calmly, “So tell me. Why do you think Lauren and Marilyn went to the trouble of buying her off?”
