Aurelia was at her wit's end. Wasn't it outrageous that he was asking this of her now when he was about to divorce her and marry another woman?
Taking a deep breath, she shook her head, "No need, and I'll speak for myself. I can handle it."
Leopold shot her a cold glare. If she couldn't handle it, he would step in.
Meanwhile, at a hospital in a neighboring city.
Arnold barged into Georgina's hospital room.
The news of Aurelia's pregnancy had prompted him to immediately wrap up his shoot and fly back.
He pulled out a picture of Aurelia and asked, "Is this the woman you artificially inseminated?"
Georgina glanced at the photo and nodded, "Yes, that's her. She's a stunner and impossible to forget."
It felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck Arnold. He was about to pass out from shock.
"Out of all women, why do you choose her?"
Why did she choose Aurelia, the girl he loved?
Georgina explained, "She was the only virgin among those who came for the check-up. She's pure and has never had a boyfriend. We chose her because she's the safest bet. There's no need to worry about any mishaps with a boyfriend. Once she got pregnant, we knew the child would definitely be of the sperm donor. No need for a paternity test."
Arnold clenched his fists and asked angrily, "Does it ever cross your mind that you've ruined a pure and innocent girl?" His voice trembled with rage.
Georgina responded, "This girl was desperate for money. I heard her on the phone with her family, frantically trying to raise money for her brother's treatment. She was scrimping and saving every day, surviving on just a plain bagel in the morning, not even sparing a dime for a cup of coffee. I thought if the procedure was successful, Ms. Stirling would reward her handsomely, and she could afford her brother's treatment. I thought I was doing a good deed."
A good deed?
Arnold was on the verge of losing it.
Suppressing his fury, he sucked in a breath through gritted teeth, "This matter must not be disclosed to anyone, especially my aunt. Consider it as if you've forgotten it entirely. If you dare to say a word about it, I will make sure you vanish from this earth."
