The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 553

Skyler munched on his sandwich, speaking through a mouthful of food with an unclear voice, "Tanya likes to take me to Verdecalma, but it's boring. Every time we're on the road, I just fall asleep. When I wake up, we're at this weird place. I don't like strange places; I want to go home. Then she gets mad at me."

He hung his head, a sad frown etching his young face.

Aurelia strongly suspected that this place was the hideout of the AK Group, a name that sent shivers down her spine. She figured Tanya was worried about Skyler remembering the route, so she must have drugged him to keep him unconscious.

"Skyler, can you tell me anything about these strange places?" Aurelia asked gently.

Skyler shook his head, "I can't remember much. I get sleepy going there and coming back, and my head's always so foggy."

Aurelia bit her lip, pondering the effects of the drugs.

Tanya would even drug her son. It was so monstrous.

Aurelia thought Geoffrey was Skyler's unknown twin.

Tanya had him well hidden, so no one else had put the pieces together.

Geoffrey must be brilliant, Aurelia thought. Only a genius could engineer such terrifying bio-weapons.

After finishing their sandwiches, they headed to the ancient fossil beds.

The ground was littered with the remains of prehistoric ferns and conifers, relics from a world two hundred million years past.

"Angel," Skyler asked with childlike innocence after a pause, "when my flower died, I buried it. Will it become a fossil?"

Aurelia chuckled softly, "Fossilization is a tough process. Whether it's a person, an animal, or a plant, as long as it had a splendid life, what happens after death doesn't matter."
