Dominic’s lips pressed tightly together as he shot a cold glance
at the director. “Get more reliable specialists here.”
“Yes, sir,” the director replied, his tone tight with understanding.
The severe lung infection from the newborn had already given them enough trouble. Now, with the possible diagnosis of congenital heart disease—this was something they weren’t prepared for.
Lauren continued to sob uncontrollably. “My poor baby… what do we do, Mom? The child already lost its father, you have to make her better.”
“Yes, I will, I promise.” Eleanor tried her best to comfort Lauren, her voice trembling with concern.
Lauren wailed, “No, my child has a father! Who says my child doesn’t have a father? Adrian, you’ll want the children, right?”
As she said this, Lauren’s tear-filled eyes locked onto Dominic, her voice frantic as though she were on the brink of another breakdown.
Dominic’s expression darkened immediately

Before he could say anything, Eleanor quickly stepped in. “Yes, yes, Adrian would never abandon his children, Lauren. Don’t think like that.”
Dominic’s jaw tightened. “I told you, I’m not Adrian!”
“Shut up!” Eleanor snapped.
Every time the conversation veered toward Lauren’s depression, her own mental state suffered. But Dominic— when had it started? He no longer let them say whatever they wanted.
Now, Dominic almost seemed to loathe the name “Adrian,” especially when Lauren called him by it. His eyes were filled with disgust.
He stared coldly at Lauren. “What the child needs is a strong, loving mother. I just hope Lauren doesn’t develop any unnecessary schemes.”
Eleanor froze, her lips pressing tight.
Lauren’s face turned pale, a flash of confusion mixed with hurt. “Adrian, how could you say that about me? Schemes? I’m not kind? I-!”
She couldn’t finish her sentence before Dominic’s gaze s

coolly, “Do everything you can for the child.”
Lauren felt the sting of his coldness as though her heart had been ripped out. The pain was unbearable.
Eleanor, seeing Dominic’s behavior, was fuming.
All of this because of Aurelia!
Damn it… Why did she have to be such a troublemaker?
What made it worse was that Dominic-after everything-still wasn’t divorcing her and was still spoiling her even more.
The director nodded, his expression serious. “We’ll do everything we can. But… this…”
He trailed off, glancing awkwardly at Lauren.
It was clear that the child’s condition wasn’t good. And with how young the child was, the situation was even more critical.
Dominic’s voice turned hard. “Save her!”
He had an inkling of what the director was about to say, but that didn’t matter now. Saving the child was the only thing that
mattered.

undoubtedly cause even more chaos.
The Hawthorne family wasn’t short on money-so just save the child. Whatever extreme measures needed to be taken, he didn’t care anymore.
“From now on, don’t call me about the child. Just one
word: save. Do you understand?” Each word came out cold, unyielding.
The director paused for a moment, clearly taken aback, but he nodded. “Yes, understood.”
“Wait, Adrian, what do you mean by that?” Lauren’s confusion
mixed with hurt.
Although the word “save” didn’t sound wrong, his icy tone was unsettling.
Dominic didn’t spare her another glance.
Lauren, feeling suffocated by his cold demeanor, muttered weakly, “Mom…”
Eleanor also noticed something off about Dominic’s attitude but didn’t know what to say.
Before anyone could speak, Dominic’s phone buzzed. He pulled
it out and saw it 4/5

Eleanor scoffed, “At a time like this, is Aurelia still causing trouble? You’re getting a call from her every step of the way?”
She clearly wasn’t in the mood to talk to Mary, but Dominic- given what happened this morning-still answered. “Mary.”
As soon as the call connected, Mary’s anxious voice rang out. “Mr. Hawthorne, there’s been a fire at Oakridge Estate! It’s a huge fire! You need to come back right now!”
Dominic froze. The world seemed to stop for a moment.
Lauren and Eleanor were both equally stunned.
Another fire at Oakridge Estate?
Just last night, Marilyn’s mansion had caught fire, and now Oakridge Estate, too?
Was this a coincidence, or something else?
