An hour later, they arrived at Westchester County.

Aurelia knew there was no escaping. On top of that, her body was utterly drained from everything she had been put through.

In the end, she allowed Dominic to carry her out of the car.

The moment the wind hit her, her head throbbed.

The temperature had dropped today. Westchester County was located on higher ground, surrounded by thick woodland. Naturally, it was colder than the lower areas.

Aurelia instinctively drew in on herself from the cold.

Dominic glanced down at her. “Feeling cold?”

She didn’t respond, not even with a look.

Dominic pulled his coat tighter around her and strode inside without slowing.

Mary got out of the car behind them and hurried to follow.

The heating inside the house had already been turned up.

on, you’ll be in bed for the next month.”

Aurelia frowned. “Why?”

“The doctor said your menstrual cycle’s been irregular lately. You need to rest and recover for a while.”

Aurelia froze. The moment she heard the words “menstrual

cycle,” her expression darkened completely.

Those words had become unbearable to her, dripping with irony.

“Get out.”

Just hearing them made her sick.

Dominic opened his mouth as if to say something else.

But Aurelia clearly had no interest in continuing the conversation. She turned over and pulled the blanket over herself in one sharp motion.

Seeing this, Dominic said nothing more.

He only left behind, “Rest for now,” before turning and leaving

the room.

number.

It was Gareth.

He answered quickly. “Ms. Smith.”

“Start preparing Vertex Biotech for relocation to Germany as soon as possible,” Aurelia said.

The studios would be easy to manage. The only thing she truly couldn’t let go of was Vertex Biotech. She had poured years of effort into it.

Gareth replied, “Preparations are already underway. Mr. Smith is handling arrangements on the Germany side as well.”

“Good.”

In the study, Jason entered to find Dominic smoking, repeatedly tossing a lighter into the air and catching it.

His expression was dark and restless.

“Mr. Hawthorne,” Jason said.

“Did you get a clear answer?” Dominic asked.

“Katherine Halbrook is still refusing to admit that Marilyn or Lauren bribed her. She’s insisting it was just a misdiagnosis.”

A sharp glint flashed through Dominic’s eyes.

“She’s denying it?”

The words left his lips already laced with cold menace.

Lucas walked in. The moment he stepped into the study, the thick smell of smoke hit him. He nearly turned around on the spot. “Are you planning to set the study on fire?”

The smoke was suffocating.

Dominic ignored Lucas’ irritation. He took another drag, and tossed the cigarette case toward him.

“One chain smoker in this room is enough,” Lucas said, waving it away. “I’ll pass.”

Just breathing this air was bad enough.

If he actually lit one, the smoke alarm would probably go off.

“So why did you call me over?” Lucas asked.

It was almost evening.

If this was about dinner, they’d never eaten at home-they always went out.

Dominic flicked ash from the cigarette and looked at him.

“When a woman is furious,” Dominic asked, “how do you calm her down?”

Lucas paused. “What do you mean?”

Furious? He meant Aurelia?

Lucas looked at him for a moment and then spoke before Dominic could explain further. “So now you want to make things right?”

Was he only realizing now just how angry Aurelia was?

The way he said it, it was almost as if he had been oblivious to it before.

Dominic said nothing, only stared at him.

That look made Lucas uneasy. “You’re asking me? You’ve lived with her for two years. It’s not like you don’t know her temperament.”

“She really miscarried,” Dominic said.

Lucas fell silent. Whatever he had been about to say vanished instantly.

With those words, not just Lucas but the entire study seemed to go quiet.

Dominic took the remaining half of the cigarette in one long drag and crushed it out. “She really miscarried, and I didn’t believe her.”

His voice sounded ashen, almost hollow.

She will never forgive me for this.

The realization pressed down on him.

During this time, everyone thought Aurelia was just making a scene over the divorce and that she could never truly bring herself to leave him. No one expected that this so-called scene would escalate this far.

What Aurelia had done to the Hawthorne family in recent

weeks had shaken all of New York.

She wasn’t throwing a tantrum. She genuinely wante

divorce.

believed her.

Lucas drew in a sharp breath. “You’re sure she was actually pregnant?”

When it came to the pregnancy, Dominic had never believed it. Lucas, however, had.

Dominic nodded.

Lucas frowned. “Then this is going to be difficult.”

Dominic’s gaze sharpened instantly at the word “difficult.”

Lucas raised his hands defensively. “Why are you looking at me like that? I wasn’t the one who manipulated things, so you wouldn’t believe her.”

Dominic had never believed Aurelia was pregnant, and why was that?

Had the Hawthorne family really played no role in that?

Lucas continued, more bluntly, “You’re anxious now, but where was this concern earlier?”
