The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 707

Chapter 707

Leopold had reserved a booth at the local diner, halfway through his roast chicken dinner, when his phone rang. It was Kane.

"Dad, Mira's sick, and I think someone did something bad to her... like poison."

A spasm of fear shot through Leopold's heart.

He quickly excused himself and stepped outside the booth.

Aurelia, who had been sitting next to him, heard the concern in his voice and followed.

"What's going on? Is Kane alright?"

"He's fine,’ Leopold reassured her, turning on the video call.

Seeing Kane, full of energy as always, Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief, "Honey, what happened to Mira?"

Kane spoke softly, "Yesterday was Mira's birthday, so Nina and I went with her to the toy store. There was a clown handing out cotton candy next to the store. He made a Barbie-shaped cotton candy that Mira just loved, so she bought one. The clown said if you buy one, you get two free, so he made two more for me and Nina."

“Dad's always said not to eat stuff from strangers, so I didn't eat the cotton candy. But Mira wanted mine after she finished hers, so I gave it to her. Then today, Nina called and said Mira got really sick last night, seems pretty bad."

“Lam wondering if her being sick could be a cotton candy problem. Nina and Mira both had it, but only Mira's sick, maybe because she ate mine.” Despite his youth, Kane was analyzing the situation with mature logic.

Leopold once said Aurelia got poisoned at a restaurant and ended up in the ICU. The enemy was good at this stuff, so Kane was always careful about eating out.

A chill crept up Aurelia's spine.

Were the rivals targeting Kane now?

A lethal aura flashed in Leopold's eyes.

"Is Mira poisoned?"

"Nina said the doctors haven't figured it out yet, but I suspect poison because that clown guy was weird, kept staring at me, even asked my name, but he didn't ask Nina or Mira,’ Kane reported.
