Chapter 1074

Corentin stood and stared at Ashlynn with a dark expression. “You came all the way here at night to

feed yourself to the crocodiles?”

Before she could explain, Corentin landed a kick on his subordinate’s leg, and a sharp noise of bone

cracking pierced through the air.

“Ugh!” The man wailed, not daring to protest.

“Do you want to be thrown into the river?” Corentin asked.

“Spare me, Mr. Lloyd!” the man begged.

Corentin crouched to check the wound on Ashlynn’s ankle. Without sparing his subordinate another

look, he lifted her up and said, “Someone has to pay for this mistake.” Before turning to leave.

Tina, who had been hiding in a corner, watched as Ashlynn was carried into the car and saw the

Bently drive off, wondering if Ashlynn was severely injured.

They arrived at the hospital for an X-ray, and though Ashlynn’s bone was not broken, the bite tore

through her flesh, and her entire ankle swelled to double its size.

After being injected with anesthetic, she could barely feel the pain, but her heart still raced at the

sight of her wound.

Had Corentin been one second late, she and her dog would have been eaten alive by the crocodiles.

Corentin sat on the side with a scowl as he narrowed his eyes viciously.

“How dare she allow herself to get injured? How could she? Ashlynn was born for me, and I am the

only one who gets to decide what happens to her! Killing my subordinate just isn't enough!’ he

thought.

“Ah.."

Ashlynn’s voice drew Corentin’s attention, and he turned to look at her before glaring at the doctor.

“You are hurting her.”

The doctor's hand started shivering.

"One more quiver, and I will break your arm!” Corentin spat.

The doctor immediately grabbed his hand with another hand and explained, “I'm sorry, I... I will be

extra gentle!”

“It doesn't hurt after the anesthetic.” Ashlynn did not want to trouble the doctor; she merely could

not help but make a sound when the doctor's hand came closer to her wound.

Corentin reached out to grab Ashlynn’s dog and moved it to the side before pulling her down to sit

on his lap. “You won't be afraid this way.”

Ashlynn did not want to act this way in front of the doctor and nurses but could not resist due to

her injury. However, even without the injury, she would not be able to refuse any of Corentin's

commands.

The doctor ignored them and proceeded with the task at hand, desperately trying to treat the

wound as soon as possible so they could leave.

Back in Corentin’s mansion, he carried Ashlynn into the living room where Tina was waiting.

Tina stood up and approached to find Ashlynn asleep in Corentin’s arms with her dog in her arms.

When she saw the thick layers of bandage around Ashlynn’s ankle, she gasped. “Why is she hurt?"

Corentin did not bother to stop and simply headed up the stairs.

Through Corentin’s shoulder, Ashlynn spotted the jealousy on Tina's face.

“She's already pregnant, so what's there to be jealous about? I don't understand her at all... Why

can't she just focus on delivering her baby safely?” Ashlynn thought.

Once they were inside the room, Corentin set Ashlynn down on the bed and grabbed her dog by

the back of its neck before tossing it onto the dog bed roughly.

“Be gentle!” She held her breath. Her dog was small in size and would not survive such rough

treatment.

"Why did you go to the river?” Corentin questioned.
