“What?” Jolin was utterly shocked, her eyes widening to the size of saucers. “But what about Arnold?
Didn’t he claim the child was his?”
“He’s only the children’s uncle,” Leopold said in a low tone.
Jolin collapsed onto the couch. She had considered that the child might be Leopold’s, but she hadn’t
expected that they were actually married.
Lowering her gaze, she took a look at the infant in her arms, whose features were strikingly similar to
the man standing in front of her.
“You young guys are really…”
She was bewildered, her mind in a whirlwind of emotions. But there was one thing she was resolute
about. “Since you’re married, you can’t divorce! The children were just born, and you want to divorce?
Do you take marriage as a game? Have you ever thought about your child?”
Aurelia bit her lip, replying, “Mom, he and I are only…”
She was quickly interrupted by Leopold. “She’s upset with me for not being there to protect the other
child.”
Jolin sighed deeply. “Aurelia, I understand you’re heartbroken, but you need to consider the living
child…” As she was speaking, the baby suddenly started crying. The cries tugged at Aurelia’s
heartstrings, and all her emotions were instantly suppressed. All she wanted was to protect this
remaining child.
“Mom, let me hold him!”
Jolin stood up. “You rest, I have experience with this. The baby is hungry, it’s feeding time.”
Leopold quickly called Laura from the other room to prepare milk formula for the baby.
Once the baby was fed, he stopped crying, sucking on the pacifier contentedly.
As Jolin fed the baby, she tried to comfort him. “Did you get scared because you heard mommy and
daddy talking about divorce? Don’t worry, they’re just venting their frustrations. They’ll reconcile soon
and won’t really divorce. Our little angel needs a complete family to grow up healthy and happy.”
Her words were actually directed at her daughter and son–in–law.
Aurelia’s heart was twisted in knots. Their marriage was initially just a contract, how could they not
divorce? He’s probably waiting to marry his sweetheart! As for his unusual attitude today, it’s probably
due to guilt over the lost child, right?
Thinking of the child, her heart was once again wrapped in sadness.
After staying at the hospital for two days, Aurelia was discharged and moved into a villa arranged by
Leopold.
Jessica buried her grandson. He rested in a small crystal casket, buried in the Stirling family’s
cemetery.
Aurelia was filled with confusion. She was sure she had heard the baby cry. Why did the doctor say he
didn’t breathe when he was born? Was it all her hallucination?
If she had gone to the hospital arranged by Leopold earlier, with the best gynecological team to deliver
their babies, that child would not have had any problems. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
It was her fault! All her fault!

Kevin came in with the paternity test report for the baby.
This was the Stirling family’s tradition. Every child born must undergo a paternity test to ensure their lineage
was correct.
“Mr. Leopold, the surveillance at the scene of the accident was broken, and the police haven’t found
the delivery man who caused the accident. Our people are also working on it.”
After the incident, the delivery man simply disappeared, as if vanished into thin air.
Leopold sensed something was off, a glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
“Leave no stone unturned, but find him!”
Aurelia didn’t produce much breast milk, so she had to feed the baby organic formula.
The baby was very well–behaved, only crying when he was hungry or needed a diaper change.
“This child is just like Mr. Leopold when he was a baby. Mr. Leopold hardly ever cried, he would just
play by himself after feeding,” Laura commented with a smile.
Jolin chuckled softly, “Of course, a son would resemble his father, even in looks.”
She turned to look at her daughter, who was staring blankly at the baby in the cradle.
Ever since they returned, she hadn’t smiled or spoken much. When the baby was asleep, she would
lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
She hadn’t recovered from the pain of losing a child.
The afternoon sun was warm, and Laura pushed the baby out into the yard to bask in the sunlight.
Newborns needed plenty of sun to get rid of jaundice.
Leopold came back from the office and bent over to look at the sleeping baby.
Laura whispered, “Mr. Leopold, these past few days, Aurelia has been mourning the loss of the child.
She can’t go on like this. If she develops postpartum depression, it would be terrible.”
