The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 4

"I... I am ready."

Swallowing hard, she glanced at Leopold, who was seated nearby.-

He'd followed her into the operating room, as if to ensure she wouldn't get cold feet from the operation.

"Mr. Leopold, could you please step out? Don't worry, I'll go through with the surgery."

She was still an unspoiled girl, after all, a little privacy would be nice!

Leopold, cold as ice, didn't respond to her at all, "Proceed with the scan."

What scan?

Just as Aurelia was wondering, the doctor had already placed the ultrasound probe on her abdomen.

"There are two gestational sacs, it's twins! They're a month and a half old."

What?

She was pregnant with twins?

Aurelia's heart tightened, and she instinctively shut her eyes, not daring to look at the ultrasound screen.

Two small lives, soon to be extinguished, it was somewhat distressing.

Leopold, however, kept his eyes on the screen, a subtle light flickering in the depths of his gaze.

"The operation is over. Change your clothes and come with me."

What?

Aurelia was stunned, opening her eyes to look at him, fearing she may have misheard.

"The operation... hasn't begun yet."

Leopold didn't explain, glancing at his watch, "Five minutes. No dawdling."

Aurelia was utterly confused by his intentions.

Had the big boss changed his mind because of twins?

Once they were in the car, she was somewhat fearful, curling up next to the window, occasionally sneaking a peek at the man beside her.

His handsome face was devoid of emotion, like a mask of ice.

Reading the boss was like looking for a needle in a haystack, utterly inscrutable!

The driver in the front turned back to give Leopold an update, "Ms. Elowen was lingering outside the maternity ward, we've managed to distract her."
