The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold)
Chapter 625

Chapter 625

William, with red-rimmed eyes brimming with tears, brought Skyler, to visit Aurelia, who lay still in the hospital bed.

"Skyler, when will Mommy wake up? I don't want her to keep sleeping like this." William said, shedding tears.

Skyler sobbed, his fists balling up with frustration. He paced back and forth, scratching his head in anxious thought.

"Come on, Angel, you gotta wake up, he whispered, his voice barely a plea.

Suddenly, Skyler's eyes lit up with realization, "I know what happened. It's the Last Scent. She must have been poisoned with the Lost Scent.

Leopold rushed over and grabbed his shoulder, "What's this Lost Scent?"

Skyler explained, “It's made with belladonna and some other stuff like anesthetics. I was poisoned once, and Geoffrey saved me"

Leopold was suspicious. That cursed concoction could very well be Geoffrey's handiwork. Skyler had accidentally inhaled it and been poisoned.

"Do you know the antidote?" asked Leopold, urgency lacing his voice.

Skyler nodded confidently. “Yeah, I do.”

Leopold's eyes gleamed with hope as he quickly ushered Skyler to the Stirling Group's biotech research facility.

Meanwhile, lost in her dreams, Aurelia had no sense of time. Her body felt increasingly weak and exhausted, but she refused to give in. There had to be a way out.

Suddenly, her surroundings shifted. The long hallway vanished, replaced by a lush green meadow. Two identical doors stood not far away, one of life and one of death.

Confusion settled upon her until a faint voice, Leopold's voice, echoed from the left door. Without hesitation, Aurelia rushed forward and pushed it open. Blinded by a brilliant white light, she lost consciousness, only to awaken later in the hospital room.

Leopold was there by her side, his hand gripping hers, and his face etched with weariness, “Aurelia, you're finally awake." His voice cracked with emotion.

"Angel's awake.’ Skyler cheered from the other side of the bed, clapping his hands with joy. Aurelia resolved never to experience such a terrifying dream again.

Jolin had brought some chicken soup. She'd been worried sick the last few days. After Aurelia finished the meal, Leopold filled her in on everything that unfolded.

She had been poisoned with something called the Lost Scent. Luckily, Skyler knew the cure. “Lremember smelling something strange when that woman's purse spilled. Then I felt so drowsy. No wonder she wore a mask, to protect herself from the poison,” Aurelia recalled, suspecting Megan was seeking revenge.

Leopold's turbulent thoughts mirrored a tempest. Despite his vigilance, Aurelia had been targeted, igniting a fury within him that thirsted for vengeance. He suspected Megan too, but she still had the last vial of antibiotics, so they couldn't afford to eliminate her just yet.

"I'm going to assign more bodyguards to you. From now on, you must never be out of their sight,” he declared with resolve.

At Alcott Manor, Megan was shocked to learn of Aurelia's recovery. She had hoped that Aurelia would sleep forever and become a vegetative patient.

In haste, she messaged her superior, [Aurelia's awake. We must act again, with a stronger potion. This time, she cannot be allowed to escape.]

Aurelia took leave from work to recuperate at home. Every morning, accompanied by her bodyguards, she took walks in the garden across the street. Perhaps out of fear of being drugged again, she wore a mask each day.

Skyler visited her, bringing his friend Orchid along. He said, “Angel, I brought Orchid to see you." Aurelia smiled warmly, "Skyler, thank you for saving me. I'm going to cook you a big lunch with all your favorite dishes.”

Skyler beamed with happiness. He loved Aurelia's cooking the most.

Here, he felt useful and was loved by everyone. It was a wonderful feeling.
