Chapter 144 Finally
On the drive back, Dominic placed call after call, all of them
about James.
None of the information coming back was good.
With every call he ended, his expression grew colder.
He had just hung up when Eleanor’s call came through. “The doctors say Leo’s condition is very serious. Dr. Garth must be brought in,” Eleanor said urgently.
Dominic was already in a foul mood because of James.
Too difficult to reach.
The people he sent had tried everything.
Every possible channel had been exhausted, yet they couldn’t even get James to agree to meet.
Hearing that name again made irritation surge straight to
temples.

“I don’t care what method you use,” Eleanor pressed, her voice sharp with frustration.

to put a little more effort into Leo. Take half the attention you’re giving that woman and give it to Leo, all right?”
Every word made her meaning unmistakably clear. In her eyes, if James had not been brought in yet, it was because Dominic had not tried hard enough.
Dominic’s jaw tightened. “I am trying.”
Did she think James was someone who could be summoned at
will?
If it were that easy, the man wouldn’t be infamous for his
temperament.
“I want you to focus more on Leo,” Eleanor said, suppressing her anger. “He is Adrian’s only son.”
Confronted with Dominic’s rising temper, Eleanor had no choice but to rein in her own.
Dominic let out a short, humorless laugh. “I have already done more than enough. What exactly do you want from me?”
Eleanor paused. “You, I didn’t mean that. I was saying that should not-”

Where is the conflict?”
“You-”
“I will make this clear right now,” he interrupted. “Not one fraction of that attention will be taken from her. If you think Leo is being neglected, then you should put in more effort yourself.”
Eleanor fell silent.
Aurelia said nothing either.
At that moment, Dominic looked like someone pushed beyond his limit.
Now it didn’t matter who criticized him. He struck back
without hesitation.
Even if it was his own mother.
“You are going to drive me to my grave,” Eleanor snapped.
“And let me be clear as well. Whether you like Aurelia or not is your business. But stop dragging her into everything. What does Leo’s situation have to do with her?”

What is wrong with him?
I can’t even bring up that name?
Furious, Eleanor ended the call.

She knew better than to keep talking to Dominic, especially when it involved Aurelia. One sentence against her, and he would respond with ten in defense, as though she were the one relentlessly targeting Aurelia.
Eleanor was speechless.
Dominic tossed his phone aside.
Hearing how openly hostile Eleanor had become only made it clearer how much Aurelia had endured all this time.
He reached out, intending to pull Aurelia into his arms.
His hand met something wet.
His breath caught. He looked down and saw that at some point her face had gone pale.
Then he looked at his palm. There was blood.

His voice dropped instantly. “What is wrong with you? Aurelia?”
“Hospital,” Aurelia whispered, cold sweat beading on her forehead. “Take me to the hospital.”
Pain hollowed out her voice.
Dominic’s heart plunged. He wrapped his arms around her and barked at Jason, “Go to the nearest hospital.”
“There is a St. Helena Women’s and Children’s Medical Center ahead,” Jason said after glancing at the navigation.
St. Helena Women’s and Children’s Medical Center was just
over two miles away.
Going back to the hospital where Leo was would mean another seven or eight miles.
“Go there,” Dominic said.
“Understood.”
Jason changed direction immediately.
Dominic held Aurelia tightly, his voice low and urgent. “What

She could no longer answer. Her consciousness faded rapidly, her body going limp in his arms.

The sharp smell of disinfectant filled the air.
Aurelia’s awareness drifted in and out, blank and unfocused.
When Dominic brought her to St. Helena Women’s and Children’s Medical Center, he was almost numb.
She was rushed into the emergency room. He stood outside the doors without moving, as if rooted to the floor.
Jason returned after completing the necessary paperwork. He wanted to say something but stopped short when he saw Dominic.
The pressure around him was too heavy. He didn’t dare speak.
Dominic’s phone vibrated repeatedly in his pocket.
Most likely Eleanor. Or Lauren.
He didn’t answer.

Dominic stepped forward at once. “Doctor, how is she?”
The doctor removed her mask and looked at him, her expression controlled and serious.
“She is experiencing acute hemorrhage following a miscarriage.”
The words hit Dominic head-on.
He froze. His voice tightened. “What did you say?”
The doctor continued calmly, clearly accustomed to such reactions, “A miscarriage causes significant trauma to the body. This is not something that resolves with a day or two of rest. Leaving the house too soon, emotional agitation, or physical strain can all trigger severe complications.”
Her gaze sharpened. “What she needs now is absolute rest and medical observation. This is not something to be treated as a minor issue.”
The way she looked at him made it clear she was addressing an irresponsible husband, and her tone was openly severe.
Dominic stood there, unable to speak. Only at this moment did the full weight of reality finally sink in.
