Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300 Utterly Drained

Jason said, “It’s Mrs. Lauren Hawthorne.”

Dominic’s brow furrowed even tighter at the mention of Lauren.

Right now, anyone from the Hawthorne family calling him felt unbearably irritating.

But in the end, he took the call.

At this moment, Dominic probably didn’t realize it.

During those six months in the past, when Aurelia resented him for leaving Oakridge Estate because of Lauren, she would often call him after he returned to

Hawthorne Manor.

Back then, when he was annoyed, he usually wouldn’t answer.

But now, even though he was equally frustrated, he answered Lauren’s call.

Dominic put the phone to his ear, his tone icy. “What is it?”

“Adrian…” Lauren’s voice came through, pitiful and trembling.

Jason hadn’t yet left the office.

Hearing that “Adrian” from Lauren sent an involuntary shiver down his spine.

Just moments ago, when she called Jason, she was perfectly clear about wanting Dominic.

Now that she was speaking to Dominic, she called him

Adrian.

Dominic’s frown deepened. “Haven’t you been perfectly lucid these past few days?”

Clearly, Dominic was displeased with her calling him Adrian.

That name felt like a constant reminder of the responsibility he bore toward them because of Adrian’s death.

As the children’s uncle, he was responsible for them—and by extension, for taking care of her, too.

Dominic’s question was direct.

On the other end, Lauren’s breath hitched. “I’m sorry, I…”

She trailed off, but the feeling of grievance she conveyed through the phone only grew stronger.

“Just say what you need,” Dominic said, his voice noticeably colder than before.

Not only had he lost patience with nearly everyone in the Hawthorne family, but given the circumstances, anyone in his position would feel the same.

He was being driven mad.

Even if the one causing the torment right now was Aurelia and not Lauren, when someone was this mentally exhausted, their irritation spread equally. Dominic was exactly there.

Lauren continued, “James needs to come to New York immediately. The hospital just called. The baby’s condition is worsening.”

Does she mean Aurelia?
