Chapter 154 A German
Aurelia cut Chloe off. “Alright, alright, enough. I need to get out of Westchester County.”
Now that Dominic had finally left, her top priority was getting as far away from here as possible. She hung up and immediately called Gareth. He picked up right away. “Ms. Sterling.”
“Come pick me up. Now.”
Aurelia stood by the window and looked outside. Dominic might be gone, but he’d left plenty of security guards behind, and it was obvious they weren’t going to let her leave Westchester County.
“On my way,” Gareth said.
Every minute she spent on Dominic’s territory made her sick. She just wanted to get far away from him.

The hospital had been reviewing surveillance footage ever since they realized the baby was missing.
The hospital director and everyone responsible for the situation were gathered there, but finding a suspicious person in a place like a hospital where people came and went constantly wasn’t going to be easy.
Lauren was sobbing so hard she could barely breathe. The only people showing up on the hospital monitors were doctors and nurses.
Dominic’s voice turned cold. “When did the baby go missing?”
The question made the nanny’s heart drop, and she couldn’t bring herself to answer.
When Dominic didn’t get a response, he turned to look at the woman in the pink uniform, His stare scared her so badly that her legs gave out and she collapsed onto the floor.
“The baby, it was, I think it was around noon?”
gon?” Dominic repeated.

“Yes, yes…” The nanny nodded, trembling.
That one word sent Dominic into a rage. “The baby went missing at noon, and we’re only hearing about it now?”
Lauren lost it too and kicked the nanny. “Yeah, why are we only finding out now? We’re paying you all that money to take care of the baby, and this is how irresponsible you are?”
Eleanor joined in. “Noon! You’re telling me the baby’s been gone for hours? If anything happens to that child, I won’t let you off either. You can go die!”
The nanny shook even harder at their words. “At first, I thought one of the nurses had taken him for a bath, and then later I thought maybe they’d taken him for shots. I, I…”
The truth was, she hadn’t taken it seriously at first.
Plus, the baby belonged to the Hawthorne family, and she’d figured there was no way a Hawthorne baby could actually go missing.
She’d assumed the nurses had everything under control.

so she’d taken a quick break to rest.
She’d been exhausted from taking care of the baby these past few days. She never expected that her little rest would turn into falling completely asleep. By the time she woke up, it was already past five.
Tears streamed down the nanny’s face. “I’m sorry, I’m so
sorry…”
“Lauren! Lauren!” Eleanor screamed and caught Lauren as she passed out. The security office erupted into chaos.
Dominic had people carry Lauren and Eleanor out, but Lauren woke up again just as they reached the door. She grabbed onto the doorframe weakly and refused to leave. “No, I need to stay here. I need to find my baby.”
Eleanor tried to reason with her. “Lauren, please, you
need to rest.”
She’d just had a C-section not that long ago, and this was when she needed to recover. This was all Aurelia’s fault!
“It was Aurelia! Aurelia took the baby. Did you even ask Aygelia about this?” Eleanor shouted at Dominic

Aurelia had turned the Hawthorne family upside down, and now she’d taken Lauren’s baby too. What was she trying to pull?
She was demanding a divorce from Dominic on one hand and taking Lauren’s baby on the other. Did she really think that would completely sever the connection between Lauren and Dominic? How could she be so cruel? A child was a mother’s lifeline.
The moment Lauren heard Aurelia’s name, her emotions spiraled out of control. “It’s Aurelia! Yes, it has to be her. Why? Why would she take my baby?
“The baby’s innocent. She hasn’t done anything wrong. Aurelia’s never even had kids. She doesn’t know how to take care of them. Why would she steal my baby?”
By this point, Lauren was crying so hard that tears streamed down her face, and her comment about Aurelia never having children stabbed into Dominic’s temple like a needle.
He roared, “Enough!”
Lauren’s crying stopped abruptly. She stared at Dominic 5
in shock, and tears kept falling uncontrollablu doum hon

cheeks.
Eleanor was breathing hard from anger. “What are you yelling for? Are we wrong? Right now, who else besides Aurelia would take the baby? Your brother is dead, and if something happens to this child while she has her, none of us will want to keep living.”
Eleanor started crying too. With the baby missing, she felt like her whole world was collapsing.
She still hadn’t recovered from losing her son six months ago, and now if her granddaughter was gone too, she’d have no face to meet Adrian. She wouldn’t deserve to keep living.
Dominic closed his eyes.
Eleanor continued, “No matter what, tell her not to hurt the baby. Whatever she wants, we’ll give it to her.”
“Now you’re willing to give her what she wants?” Dominic looked at Eleanor coldly.
Right then, someone from security shouted, “Found it! This is the person who took the baby.”

Everyone’s eyes locked onto the surveillance monitor. The footage showed a tall man wearing a baseball cap carrying the baby away. Even though the cap partially obscured his face, you could still make out from what was visible that he appeared to be German.
“A German?” Eleanor said.
The moment Dominic heard the word “German,” his body went rigid. Something in his brain exploded with a deafening crash.
Lauren’s voice choked up. “A German? Isn’t that the same as the people around Aurelia…”
She trailed off and looked at Dominic through her tears.
Eleanor realized it too. “See? I told you it was Aurelia, and you didn’t believe me. It’s her! She had Germans working for her before. Of course it’s her! What is she trying to do?”
In an instant, once that German man’s face appeared on screen, Dominic’s ears filled with Eleanor’s accusations and Lauren’s sobbing. Because the person who took the baby y was German, Aurelia was immediately identified a§5 the mastermind behind it all.
