The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 17

"Call an ambulance."

A towering figure rushed over like a hurricane, effortlessly scooping her up and sprinting away.

"Mr. Leopold..."

She clung to the man's shirtfront, trying to say something, but her vision darkened and she fainted in his arms.

In the banquet hall, all eyes shifted towards them, watching the scene unfold.

"Leopold, where are you going?"

Elowen stomped her foot in frustration, fervently praying that if there was still a baby, this bitch would miscarry.

After such a violent fall and blood loss, she couldn't believe the baby could possibly survive.

Arnold's hand tightened around his glass, an indescribable depth of emotion subtly passing through his eyes.

At the hospital.

Aurelia was unconscious for some time before waking up.

As her eyes fluttered open, Leopold's handsome, icy countenance gradually came into focus.

She instinctively recoiled, raising her hand to protectively touch her belly, "Is the baby okay?"

Leopold's eyes were dark with worry.

Thankfully, the children were fine. The blood was due to a cut on her leg from shards of glass.

His children were destined to be stronger than most.

"Do you have any sense of self-preservation? You can even trip while walking?"

If he hadn't been there today, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Aurelia felt incredibly wronged, "Someone tripped me. You should check the CCTV and see who it was."

Leopold had already sent someone to do just that.

But the hotel's CCTV had malfunctioned, so nothing was found.

"From now on, you won't attend company events. After work, you stay at home. You're not allowed to go anywhere."

She was desperate to know Aurelia's condition.

Leopold had strictly ordered that no information be leaked from the hospital.

"Leopold, is that woman okay?"

Before she could finish her sentence, Leopold strode forward, grabbed her hair, and yanked it, causing her to scream in pain, "What are you doing? You're hurting me!"

"If this has anything to do with you, I will call off the engagement immediately. From now on, don't show your face in front of me."

Leopold's voice was as biting as ice, carrying a chilly warning.

If she wanted to irritate him, he wouldn't show mercy.

Elowen shivered, the more he cared, the more terrified she became.

"Why do you care so much about Aurelia? You've never treated me this way for any other woman. Did she not abort the baby?"

Leopold gripped the back of her neck, his gaze slicing across her face like a knife, "Are you questioning me? If you want to die, just say the word, and I'll be more than happy to oblige."
