The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 233

When Aurelia was rushed into the emergency room, she could no longer muster the strength to stay conscious and passed out.

When she awoke, it was already nightfall.

As she opened her eyes, a handsome and familiar face came into focus.

Leopold's brow was furrowed, his face as pale as a sheet, filled with worry and anxiousness, and a touch of lingering fear.

She shivered slightly, hastily reaching to touch her belly, "The babies, how's the babies?"

"Our babies are fine." Leopold reached out, gently stroking her hair, his voice slightly hoarse.

He had rushed over as soon as he received Yuna's call. Even now, all his nerves were still taut, he couldn't relax.

Tears welled up in Aurelia's eyes, and she couldn't stop them from falling, "I'm sorry, I couldn't keep the secret. They all know now..." She was scared, scared that he would be angry, that he would scold her!

Her crying was a stab to Leopold's heart, it felt as though his insides were being torn apart. He pulled her into his arms, "This is not your fault. You did well."

Kevin had shown him the office surveillance. Had she not slipped off her coat to escape, had she reacted a split second later, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

He had to admit, she was a brave and extraordinary woman. Her petite frame hid a tremendous energy that left him in awe.

Perhaps his embrace was warm enough to calm her turbulent emotions, her crying subsided to a low sob.

"What do we do now?"

"I'll find a quiet place for you to rest and take care of the babies."

Aurelia guessed this would be the safest option, but she didn't want to hide.

Even though the Alcott family was also upper-class, it paled in comparison to the Stirling family.

There was a hierarchy even among the wealthy, with the Stirling family standing at the apex.

What Leopold's action implied was clear to everyone.

Elara also came, looking utterly worn out. Elowen's daily tantrums had left her exhausted. She had obtained a medical certificate from a psychiatrist to get Elowen out on bail.

She came to find out the truth about the baby in Aurelia's belly.

Seeing Evelyn, all her questions got stuck in her throat.

"Leopold, you just annulled your engagement with Elowen, bringing Evelyn into the family so soon might not be appropriate."
