The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 435

Chapter 435

“You're aware that I've contracted a superbug from the Amazon, right?”

Her mother had mentioned that Leopold was handling all affairs during her hospital stay. So, hemust know about her condition.

A jolt passed through Leopold's heart, but his expression remained calm, “What are your implying?”She wanted to tell him that it was Megan who had poisoned her, who had infected her with thedeadly superbug, but the words died on her lips

He wouldn't believe her, would he? Megan was his sweetheart, always innocent and beautiful in hiseyes.

Unless she had solid proof to corner Megan with, he would think she was framing her. She had tobe subtle.

"How could I have contracted an Amazonian bug living in Elysium? Someone must have wanted toharm me, maybe even poison me?”

Leopold's face was devoid of emotion. His eyes were deep and inscrutable, as if they held athousand secrets, “Who do you suspect?”

“Who do you think would benefit the most if I died?” She retorted.

Leopold gazed at her intensely, knowing what she was hinting at. She was beginning to suspectMegan. But she probably wasn't aware of the antibiotics yet, or she wouldn't be so calm.

“I'll handle this. You don't have to worry.” His coldness and indifference tore Aurelia’s heart intopieces.

Suddenly, she realized that he must have been the first person to know about her infection after thedoctors. Did he not suspect Megan at all? Was he still hanging out with her? Did he love and trusther that much?

“Is my life of no value to you? You don't care at all, do you?" Tears welled up in her eyes, spillingdown her cheeks uncontrollably.

“It doesn’t matter. We are nothing to each other now. I will replace out the truth on my own. I won't sitback and let the person who wants to harm me walk free.”

She wiped her tears stubbornly and stormed off, only to be pulled back by him.

"What do you plan on doing? Act impulsively and put yourself at risk, just like you did three yearsago?”

“I don’t need you to worry about me!” She pushed him away in anger, trying to break free

from his grip. But he didn’t let go. Instead, he pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

Her words shattered his facade of calmness,

“You're not to do anything. The only thing you need to do is take care of yourself. Do youunderstand? " He was practically shouting, his voice echoing painfully in her ears and breaking herheart.

She clung to his shirt, staring at him, determined not to miss any slight change in his expression.Though he wore a cold, unreadable expression, she could still sense the slightest shift in hismood.

“Tell me, do you suspect her too? Why did you divorce me and marry her?”

“Aurelia!” He cupped her tear-streaked face in his hands, his heart breaking at the sight of her pain.“No matter what I do, remember this: I will never break the promises I've made to you. Don't askabout anything else, don't get involved, and don't take risks. Just take care of yourself.”

Only if she was safe and sound, he could carry out his plan without worry.

Aurelia’s mind was a whirlpool of confusion. She couldn't understand his words, feeling mentallydrained. The only thing she knew was that he was definitely hiding something from her.
