Chapter 1079
Corentin held her and placed a hand over her stomach. “Once your ankle is better, I’ll take you to the hospital for a check–up.”
She panicked and said, “Tina is already pregnant with your child. What’s the hurry?”
He chuckled. “Go to sleep.”
The next morning, Ashlynn noticed that her breakfast had resumed to the luxurious version it was before.
‘Why, though?‘ she thought. She knew that Tina was the reason behind her missing meals. The maids had failed to deliver breakfast to her the day before, and Ashlynn was prepared to experience worse.
At noon, lunch was as rich as ever; the plates were piled up with a big amount of food that she would not be able to finish even if she ate consistently for three days. Feeling more and more suspicious, she asked, “Is Tina eating downstairs?”
The maid hesitated to answer.
“What happened?” Ashlynn asked.
“Ms. Sparks had severe stomach pain last night, and I heard that she was bleeding, too. They rushed her to the hospital last night,” the maid said.
Shocked, Ashlynn asked, “What? How did that happen?”
“I don’t know. She was experiencing discomfort at night, and because it was in the middle of the night, we did not notice her condition until it was too late. It looked quite bad.”
‘Bad? So she might lose her baby?‘ Ashlynn thought.
“Which hospital?” she asked.
When she saw Ashlynn, Tina,burst into tears and pointed at Ashlynn. “It’s your fault, you b*tch! I wouldn’t have lost my baby if it wasn’t for you! Give me my son back!”
Ashlynn did not argue. She was not offended and simply felt sympathetic.
She remembered when she woke up to the news that she had lost her child and knew just how painful that was. She consoled herself later on that perhaps it was the gods‘ will to prevent her from giving birth to the child of someone as twisted and evil as Salvatore.
Tina’s cries echoed within the room, and Ashlynn could tell that she really cared about her unborn child, whether it was because the father was Corentin or that Tina was simply mourning the loss of her own child.
“I have nothing to do with this, right? You were the one who’s been playing tricks behind my back. You fed chocolate to my dog, tried throwing it into the river filled with crocodiles, and told the maids to delay or even skip the meals that were supposed to be delivered to me. I don’t think I’m falsely accusing you, am I?”
Ashlynn had never confronted Tina, but it did not mean that she was blind to what had happened. Ever since Tina arrived at the mansion, accidents had never ceased.
