The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 393

Aurelia had a seemingly endless dream. She found herself on a bridge, a bridge so long that she couldn't see the end of it. A blanket of fog surrounded her, ominous and terrifying.

She yearned for home, for Kane and William, for her parents, and Avery. She longed for Leopold.

She tried to run, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape the bridge.

From the distance, she could hear Leopold's voice. "Aurelia... Aurelia..."

"Leopold... Leopold... I'm here. Come save me!" she cried out with all her might.

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the thick fog, growing brighter and brighter like a door opening.

A tall figure emerged from the light which she had recognized.

"Leopold!" Without a second thought, she ran toward the light...

"Aurelia, wake up!" A whimpering voice echoed in her ear. Aurelia weakly opened her eyes.

Jolin's anxious face came into focus. Zack, Avery, and Arnold were also there.

"Aurelia, you finally woke up. You scared us to death," Jolin said, choking back tears.

Arnold reached out, touching her forehead. The fever was gone. "What’s bothering you now?"

She shook her head. She was weak but otherwise okay. Her gaze swept across the room, searching for Leopold, but he wasn't there nor at the door. Was he too busy at work to visit?

"Are you looking for William? I didn't tell him about your hospitalization. I was afraid he'd be scared out," Arnold said.

Aurelia brought back her gaze, managing a weak smile. "I'm okay."

Over the next few days, her colleagues came to visit, even Beverley. But Leopold was nowhere to be found. It was as if he had forgotten her.

She sensed something was off, and her heart plunged into an abyss, falling with no end.

On the day of her discharge, Kevin came.
