NovelBookChapter 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? | 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.

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. | was poisoned once, and Geoffrey saved me" Leopold was suspicious.

“Angel's awake.’ Skyler cheered from the other side of the bed, clapping his hands with joy.

“Lremember smelling something strange when that woman's purse spilled. Then | 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.

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, | 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.
