Chapter 1418

"Without my permission, you're not allowed to die!” Corentin’s face was gloomy as he gritted his

teeth, and his facial muscles were pulsing.

However, Ashlynn’s breathing was weak, and she could not even hear his threats.

Ashlynn entered the emergency room of the hospital as quickly as possible.

Corentin waited outside. He was wearing a black coat, but the white shirt inside and his hands were

mostly stained with blood, and it was a shocking sight.

He took a deep breath, and his gaze was a little lifeless. Then, he waved his hand.

One of his subordinates walked toward him.

With a hoarse voice, Corentin ordered, “Block the news, and don't let anyone disturb her.”

"Yes, Mr. Lloyd.” The subordinate went to do as he was told.

Corentin’s body went weak, and he sat on the bench, staring at his blood-stained hands in a daze.

He could still vividly feel the temperature of the blood flowing from Ashlynn’s body

The image of Ashlynn jumping over to block the bullet shocked him deeply.

Why was she doing this? Did she not want him to die?

Corentin knew very well that Ashlynn was obedient because he threatened her and nothing else!

With a lot of money and the help of skillful doctors, Ashlynn was finally rescued. She was moved to

the ward but had not regained consciousness due to excessive blood loss.

Ashlynn’s entire face was pale, including her lips and hands.

The doctor said that if the bullet had missed a little bit, she would have died on the way to the

hospital.

Corentin sat on the chair by the bed, staring at Ashlynn’s face without moving like a statue. Even his

amber eyes were much darker than usual.

He could not seem to see through Ashlynn.

He did not know what she was thinking.

Why did she do that?

Ashlynn woke up on the morning of the second day. When she opened her eyes, she only saw white

flowers everywhere, as if she had gone to heaven.

At this moment, a smear of darkness appeared.

Ashlynn focused her blurred sight and saw Corentin's face, finally realizing in a daze that she was

still alive.

If she were dead, she would not have seen Corentin.

Corentin dabbed some water on her slightly dry lips with a cotton swab, and a trace of water seeped

into her mouth from between her lips.

Ashlynn licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, and her throat felt much better.

After a while, the doctor came to check on her.

She was recovering well and could have a liquid diet

Before the food was delivered, Ashlynn leaned on the bed and stared at Corentin, who was sitting

by the bed.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

“Nothing to say?” Corentin spoke first.

Say... what...” Ashlynn asked weakly.

"Why did you block the gun for me?” Corentin cut to the chase, immediately questioning her.

“I just happened to see...” Ashlynn looked away.

However, Corentin grabbed her face back as soon as she looked over

He did not use too much force.

Gently yet determined.

“I want the truth.” Corentin’s face inched closer to hers.

Ashlynn looked at him helplessly. “I don’t know. Maybe because I don't want to see you get hurt...”

“Why?”

Ashlynn looked at him and saw the impatience in those amber eyes. Was he so eager to know the

answer?

Then, she should tell him....

"If both of us...grew up under the protection of our family, we wouldn't have to live such a hard life.

Later, I have your protection, but who protected you? When you were young, you had to snatch

food from the mouths of wild dogs, or else you would starve to death. Your adoptive parents don't

care about you at all. You grew up in such an environment, so you could only force yourself to

become the most powerful villain. In fact, you were actually lonely and afraid. So, I want to protect

you for once.” Ashlynn was teary- eyed, looking sincere.

Corentin had no expression on his face, but the hand holding Ashlynn’s face trembled a little,

emotions.
