Dominic didn’t finish his sentence, but the implication was clear.
If Aurelia really had been pregnant, the monthly checkups would have confirmed it.
And he was certain that if she had been carrying his child, he would never let anything happen to her.
He spoke in that skeptical, doubting tone, then went on to remind her of the regular checkups he had arranged for her… Aurelia’s revulsion flared even stronger.
She pulled her hand away from his grasp once again.
Every time his palm closed around nothing but empty air, Dominic felt a little more of his heart hollow out and turn to
ash.
“Let’s just get divorced,” Aurelia said flatly. “We have nothing left to talk about.”
Looking at this version of Dominic, Aurelia knew there was no point in saying anything else.
Dominic stayed silent

But the word “divorce” hung in the air like a dark cloud, and his expression darkened along with it.
After what had happened today, he couldn’t find a moment’s peace either.
Right now, standing in front of her, he was barely holding back the roiling storm of rage and confusion inside him.
Aurelia just stared at him, her gaze cold as ice.
In that instant, all the passion, all the sweetness they had once shared, vanished without a trace.
Dominic stood up.
He walked to the door and paused, his hand wrapping around the doorknob so tightly that his knuckles whitened. He did not
turn around.
“Do you remember the vows we made on our wedding day?”
Aurelia didn’t respond.
Dominic pressed on, his voice thick with emotion. “For better or for worse, in sickness and in health, we would never leave each other’s side. I told you that no matter what happened, I would never let go of your hand.”

<Chapter 62 I Almost Die.
On their wedding day, many people had whispered behind their backs, saying their marriage wouldn’t last.
It was a small, quiet ceremony-one that didn’t even have the blessing of their families-but every word Dominic said was firm and unshakable.
Hearing him bring up those wedding vows, Aurelia closed her eyes, hiding the flicker of pain that crossed her face.
“You also said you would protect me,” she said. “You told me not to be afraid of anything. You promised you would never let me suffer even the smallest grievance.”
Her voice was calm and steady, a stark contrast to his suppressed emotion.
Dominic’s broad, imposing frame froze solid.
He couldn’t deny it. She had repeated his words exactly, not a single syllable out of place.
Aurelia went on, her tone sharp with bitterness. “Let’s not even talk about grievances. Did you protect me?”
Dominic pressed his lips.
Protect her? Had he? The answer was a resounding no.

Aurelia opened her eyes and fixed her gaze on his rigid, unmoving silhouette.
“Do you remember what you said when Mary called you two hours ago?”
Dominic’s breath hitched, coming out in ragged, labored gasps.
Aurelia’s voice rose with every word. “You said I was the one who told her to call you and say those things, didn’t you? Heh!”
She let out a bitter, hollow laugh. “Dominic, you still have the nerve to talk to me about our wedding vows? Don’t you think you’re being ridiculous? I almost died at Oakridge Estate today!”
Aurelia cut herself off, her chest heaving as she fought to hold
back her tears.
Dominic’s heart dropped.

demanding to be brought here immediately.
Seeing her mother lying in bed, so badly hurt she could barely move, Lauren’s eyes blazed with hatred. “That damn Aurelia! How dare she do this? And why would Grant help her?”
Learning that it was Grant’s men who’d beaten Marilyn to this state-all because of Aurelia-Lauren’s gaze turned venomous, her whole body trembling with rage.
Marilyn saw the tears streaming down Lauren’s face, and her expression turned stern.
She snapped, her voice sharp with irritation, “Stop those tears right now!”
Her face was wrapped tight in bandages, and speaking jostled her wounds. Marilyn hissed in pain, her eyes narrowing with discomfort.
Lauren was startled by the outburst.
But seeing Marilyn in such obvious pain only made her tears flow harder, her shoulders shaking with quiet sobs.
“Mom…” she whimpered, her voice thick with emotion.
Marilyn shot her a glare. “Save those tears for someone actually want sy

In that moment, Marilyn’s voice carried a cruel edge, and her eyes glinted with a murderous, unforgiving intent.
Lauren opened her mouth to say something, but the cold, calculating light in Marilyn’s eyes made her swallow her words.
She forced her tears back, wiping them away roughly with the back of her hand.
The beating she’d taken at Oakridge Estate was a humiliation Marilyn would never forget. She wanted nothing more than to tear Aurelia limb from limb for it.
Marilyn turned her head painfully, wincing as the movement pulled at her stitches.
She fixed her gaze on Lauren. “Go find Dominic. I shouldn’t have to spell out what you need to say to him, do I?”
Before Lauren could nod, Marilyn pressed on, her voice hard as steel. “This time, he and Aurelia have to get divorced. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.”
Things had gone too far now. If Dominic still refused to leave Aurelia, her humiliation today would have been for nothing.
Lauren hesitated, her brow furrowing with uncertainty. “But I heard that Aurelia was hospitalized with severe bleeding. What

if Dominic…”
Marilyn let out a cold, mocking laugh. “Don’t worry. I’ve already taken care of all her doctors. Whether she had a miscarriage or not-that’s not up to Aurelia to decide.”
Lauren bit her lip, still looking hesitant. “But today…”
Marilyn cut her off with a sharp, dismissive tone. “Who knows how she ended up bleeding that badly today? It might be a heavy period from taking too many of those fancy supplements. Don’t overthink it.”
Lauren fell silent, her lips still pressed together in a worried line.
