Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 982

Camilla giggled and said, “Honestly, I think that’s the best decision too. But Dominic, don’t you think Nyla might resent you for it? Her mom passed away so early–right now, you’re all she has left.”

Dominic’s voice turned cold. “Her mother’s been gone for years. To be honest, I barely feel anything about it anymore. Sure, Nyla’s my biological daughter, but if I’m being blunt, I never felt much for her emotionally.

“Now that you’re carrying my heir–and it’s confirmed to be a boy–once he’s born, you and our son will be the most cherished members of the Goth family.”

Both of them wore blissful smiles, completely lost in their fantasy of a perfect future.

Suddenly, two guards rushed into the garden, completely out of breath.

“Mr. and Mrs. Goth, Ms. Goth ‘s back!”

Dominic frowned with displeasure. “Back already? That was quick. Don’t tell me she failed?”

His tone turned vicious as he clenched his jaw. “If she screwed up, I’ll make sure she pays. I won’t let that ungrateful brat off easy.”

Camilla reached out and tried to soothe him. “Easy now, darling. It might not be a failure. If you ask me, she probably pulled it off. Come on, let’s go see what’s going on.”

Without waiting for the guards to finish explaining, the couple walked out of the garden smiling, expecting good

news.

Over in the grand living room, the second Dominic and Camilla stepped into view, they were met by the sight of several unfamiliar faces already waiting in the living room.

“Who the hell are you people?” Dominic snapped without hesitation. “Showing up uninvited to our home? This is way out of line–get out now!”

Camilla blinked in confusion, then narrowed her eyes. “Wait… aren’t you with Moonlit Apothecary?”

She caught sight of Francesca and Andrew, and her heart instantly filled with dread.

At that moment, Nyla stepped out and walked up nervously. “Dad, I brought Dr. Aicker and Dr. Lloyd here. I asked them to come.”

Dominic’s face turned purple with rage. Bringing them here could only mean one thing, and the outcome was

obvious.
