Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Don’t Crave What’s Precious

Each word from Aurelia’s lips felt like a curse.

Eleanor listened, her heart trembling violently, until she couldn’t help but take a step back.

Her legs almost gave way beneath her.

Everything Aurelia had said boiled down to one thing— her retribution came.

Eleanor hadn’t believed in retribution before.

But now, looking at Aurelia’s face with its amiable smile, it seemed everything she was suffering truly was, as Aurelia said, her own retribution.

All of this was retribution…

Just then, Lauren’s phone rang. She quickly answered, “Hello?”

It was a call from the hospital.

The doctor briefly outlined the child’s condition. After listening, Lauren began to tremble all over.

“What? Save him-you must save him! Nothing can happen to him!” Lauren shouted into the phone.

Samuel had said that the child was still crucial to their plans; they absolutely couldn’t lose him.

She’d already lost one child.

The remaining one could not have any problems, no matter what.

Lauren was frantic.

Hearing it was the hospital, Eleanor’s heart lurched.

She instinctively looked at Aurelia.

Lauren spoke into the phone again. “What? Come to the hospital?”

Hearing that she needed to go to the hospital immediately, Lauren also instinctively looked toward

Aurelia.

Remembering how Eleanor had needed Aurelia’s permission for a car and been refused, would Aurelia allow one for her now?

At that moment, a weak voice came from the stairs.

“Mom…”

Eleanor looked up to see Lydia standing there. “Why are you out of bed?”

“I…” Lydia didn’t finish before she collapsed, fainting.

Eleanor screamed in panic, “Lydia!”

She then rushed up the stairs toward Lydia.

Lydia had a high fever, the child at the hospital was in trouble-everything was converging into pure chaos.

Lauren hung up and glared at Aurelia. “You see the situation now. You have to send a car to take us to the hospital.”

In her urgency, her tone held a note of command.

Yet Aurelia merely looked back at her. The previously gentle smile in her eyes chilled.

Because Samuel said the child was still useful, Lauren was especially desperate.

She knew Samuel’s temper well by now.

If the child really died, he might do anything in his rage.

Whether from anger or genuine fear under Aurelia’s piercing scrutiny, Lauren didn’t know.

Seeing she wouldn’t speak, Aurelia gave a soft, derisive laugh. Without another word, she continued up the stairs.

“The car! I need the car! Don’t do this!” Lauren grew even more frantic.

This time, Aurelia didn’t stop.

As she passed Eleanor and Lydia on the stairs, Eleanor suddenly grabbed her ankle.

Aurelia looked down, meeting Eleanor’s gaze.

Eleanor, who had moments ago tried to command Aurelia, now seemed utterly humble under Aurelia’s condescending stare.

Aurelia had finally climbed above her.

The feeling was deeply unpleasant.

But this wasn’t the time for Eleanor to dwell on that. As Aurelia’s eyes narrowed slightly, she gasped out, “At least let us live.”

Lydia was burning up with fever.

Eleanor was genuinely afraid it could be fatal.

Though she felt like she was living a living hell, she was still, fighting, begging for Lydia’s life.

Aurelia’s voice was cool. “When life is cheap, don’t crave what’s precious.”

Eleanor was taken aback.

“Cheap lives don’t break easily,” Aurelia added.

Then, she firmly pulled her ankle free from Eleanor’s grasp.
