Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 The Couple

Inside the VIP ward, Aurelia was still unconscious.

Dominic walked to the doorway as if his legs were filled with lead. Jason followed a step behind him.

Jason glanced at Aurelia lying on the bed and said, “Mary is already on her way. The follow-up care has also been arranged.”

Dominic’s chest rose and fell sharply.

Ever since he spoke with the doctor, his breathing had been

unstable.

Even after hearing Jason’s words, his head still buzzed faintly.

When he finally spoke, he could barely hear his own voice. “The doctor just said it was a hemorrhage after a miscarriage?”

When he asked that, his awareness felt dull and numb, carrying uncertainty but even more so a suffocating weight.

Jason nodded. “Yes. What the doctor meant was that Mrs. Hawthorne did miscarry.”

She had a miscarriage.

She really had been pregnant.

Everything Aurelia had done over the past few days, every outburst and confrontation, had been because of this.

Yet he had never believed her. He had thought she was exaggerating.

He had thought the miscarriage existed only in her own perception.

Dominic closed his eyes. When he opened them again, a sharp chill flashed through his gaze. “That doctor who’s under investigation,” he said, his voice rising uncontrollably, “you interrogate her personally.”

The last words were almost shouted.

At that moment, he completely lost control. He lifted his leg and kicked the metal bench lining the corridor.

The bench scraped harshly across the floor, the shrill sound echoing through the empty hallway.

When Aurelia woke up, her head felt heavy and unfocused.

Dominic was sitting in the chair beside the bed, an unlit cigarette between his fingers.

Sensing her movement, he looked up.

He looked at her, his gaze cold and fathomless.

Aurelia felt a chill run through her chest under that gaze. “Is this a hospital?”

She glanced at herself and realized she was wearing a patient

gown.

Dominic said, “Do you want to be discharged now?”

Aurelia raised an eyebrow. “Why?”

“You don’t like the smell of disinfectant. You’ll be more comfortable back at Westchester County.”

His tone was unusually gentle.

So gentle, in fact, that it felt excessive to her.

She said nothing.

She only looked at him in silence.

Dominic reached out and brushed his fingers lightly against her pale cheek. “Do you want to go?”

“You can leave,” Aurelia said coldly.

Dominic let out a low laugh. “I leave? And then I step out the door, and you disappear right after?”

He had said it already.

From now on, he wouldn’t allow Aurelia to vanish from his sight again.

Had it not happened exactly like that before, the moment he

turned his back?

This time, he wouldn’t allow it.

Hearing him say that, Aurelia’s expression darkened at once. “What did the doctor say?”

Her voice was flat and distant.

Dominic stiffened.

At the mention of the doctor, his expression froze for a split

second.

His grip on the cigarette tightened until the filter bent between his fingers.

But the stiffness passed quickly, and he said, “Nothing much. Just told you to rest for a while.”

Aurelia looked at him. “That’s all?”

Dominic nodded. “Yes. That’s all.”

Aurelia asked, “Which hospital is this?”

“St. Helena Women’s and Children’s Medical Center.”

Hearing that it wasn’t St. Vincent Medical Center, a trace of suspicion crossed Aurelia’s mind.

Did the doctors here also hide the truth from him, or were they bought off by Marilyn and Lauren too?

If it was the latter, then whatever punishment Marilyn had faced so far was far too light.

Light enough that she still had the energy to keep stirring up trouble.

Seeing Aurelia fall silent, Dominic asked again, “Do you want

Aurelia said nothing.

Go home?

She did hate the smell of disinfectant.

But looking at Dominic…

“How long was I asleep?”

“About three or four hours.”

Aurelia paused.

Three or four hours.

Which meant Dominic had been here the entire time.

So he was waiting for me to wake up?

What was the point of putting on this act now, as if he were afraid she might vanish?

Dominic continued, “If you don’t want to go home, I can have Jason bring my work over here.”

“Let’s go home,” Aurelia snapped.

And his behavior didn’thing to move her. If anything, his constant hovering only made her more irritated.

Hearing her agree, Dominic stood up.

He tossed the cigarette, which he had never lit, straight into the trash.

He bent down, lifted her into his arms, and wrapped his coat around her as well.

He carried her straight to the car.

When they exited the elevator, he tugged the coat tighter around her, as if afraid she might feel cold.

Aurelia was small, at least when held against his chest.

Jason had already turned on the heater. The moment she got into the car, warmth surrounded her.

Dominic didn’t let go.

Aurelia struggled slightly. “Let go of me.”

“Be good. Sleep.”

She had woken up under anesthesia, and her mind was still

hazy.

Aurelia said coldly, “The way you smell makes me want to

throw up.”

Dominic fell silent.

Jason froze as well.

Jason had intended to tell Dominic that the medical team was already assembled at Westchester County, but after Aurelia’s words, the air inside the car turned icy.

He didn’t dare speak.

Dominic lowered his gaze to the woman in his arms.

He reached out and gripped her chin firmly. “You wanna say I’m disgusting?”

Aurelia shook her head, trying to pull away.

Dominic’s grip tightened instead. “Come on. Say it.”

Aurelia met his eyes. “Whether you’re disgusting or not, you know that better than anyone.”

Aurelia said nothing.

Jason said nothing either.

Hearing the venom in Dominic’s voice, Jason wished he could disappear into the floor.

When a couple fought, the most miserable person was always the one forced to witness it.
