Chapter 294
In just a few hours, the news had traveled all around the globe.
Evelyn was pregnant, and a wedding was in the works, slated for two months later, just after she’d
passed the risky first trimester.
Leopold’s cell phone buzzed, an unknown caller ID displayed.
He swiftly activated the most advanced call tracker.
A cryptic voice echoed from the speaker, distorted by a voice changer.
“Does Mr. Leopold still want this child?”
Leopold scoffed, his tone nonchalant, “Just an illegitimate child, one more or less won’t make a
difference.”
He deliberately emphasized the word ‘illegitimate.’
That evening, Leopold hadn’t returned home yet.
Aurelia sat by the crib, her gaze
fixed on Kane.
Was the child in the photo really not Liam?
Was her Liam really gone?
An email notification pinged.
It was an audio recording.
“Just an illegitimate child, one more or less…” It was Leopold’s voice.
“I thought you had secretly married Aurelia, Mr. Leopold.”
“Wishful thinking. She was nobody. What makes her worthy to be my wife!”
“Don’t you intend to save the child?”
“No one can intimidate me!”
Each word in the recording exploded like a bomb in Aurelia’s mind, causing her head to throb and her
stomach to churn.
Leopold had lied to her!
Liam was alive, truly alive!
But Leopold had no intention to save him, he didn’t want Liam anymore!
She felt as if all her energy was drained, collapsing onto the bed, her back chilled, limbs trembling.
Was her Liam injured? Sick? Was he cold, hungry?
Liam must be waiting for his parents to save him
but his father didn’t want him anymore!
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm, then picked up her phone.
[How can I be certain from just a photo that my child is alive?]
The sender replied with a video.
In a dim room, a frail infant lay on a wooden bed, occasionally opening his eyes to look around pitifully,
as if searching for his parents.
Aurelia felt her heart twist in pain, tears streaming down her face like a dam had burst. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
[What do you want? What do I have to do to get my child back?]
[Come to Eldoria. Then I’ll let you see him.]
Aurelia didn’t know the sender’s intentions, but for her child, she was ready to go through hell and high
water.
WhatsApp notifications kept popping up on her phone screen.
The Muse Club was discussing Leopold’s impending marriage to Evelyn.
“Mr. Leopold and Evelyn are getting engaged the day after tomorrow, and marrying in two months. How
fast.”
“Evelyn is pregnant, so it’s a shotgun wedding.”
“Mr. Leopold sure has a thing for the daughters of the Alcott family.”
These messages were the last straw for Aurelia.
Her child was suffering in the hands of the enemy, while he was planning to marry another woman!
Because Evelyn was pregnant, her child meant nothing? Had he gone from being precious to
worthless?
Just then, the door opened.
Leopold walked in, her tears caught his eye, causing his heart to flutter, “What’s wrong?”
She turned to him, his figure started to blur behind her tear–filled vision.
“Why did you lie to me? Liam is alive, isn’t he? You don’t plan to save him, do you?”
Leopold rubbed his temples, “I have my own plan.”
“Your plan is to marry Evelyn and have more children, isn’t it? I’m just nobody who is not worthy to be
your wife, so the child I bore means nothing to you. Only the child Evelyn bears is precious to you,
right?”
She couldn’t control her emotions, growing more agitated, her voice rising with every word.
