Chapter 1080
“That’s why Mr. Lloyd did this to me!”
“What did he do to you?”
Terror filled Tina’s face when she thought back to the night before. “I was asleep. when I felt a sharp
pain in my stomach. I was bleeding, but even when I called out for help, no one came. Mr. Lloyd came
inside the room afterward and stepped on my stomach until I lost my baby… How is this not your
fault?”
Ashlynn held her breath and felt her blood running cold as she pictured the scene. It was so gory and
cruel, and she could never imagine how Corentin was capable of such an act.
Tina rubbed her stomach sorrowfully. “I didn’t know whose child this was and thought that I would just
give birth to it anyway. After all, it’s mine, but I underestimated the cost of having a child, and I soon ran
out of options. I returned to the bar to find out who the man was because I wanted to protect my
child…”
Unable to bear it any longer, Ashlynn left hastily despite the pain in her ankle.
“Ms. Thompson, slow down. You are injured. Let me help you out…” The maid immediately grabbed
her arm.
Ashlynn went outside and realized that she was not at the entrance but in one of the gardens in the
hospital.

She sat down on a bench and stared ahead nkly with tears in her eyes while the maid stood behind
her, not daring to whisper a single word.
Shortly after, the maid turned around and noticed a ck Bently rushing through the traffic and
stopping by the road. When she spotted the figure stepping out of the car, she immediately bowed her
head respectfully.
Corentin walked over and scanned the maid, causing her to anxiously lower her head.
He stood before Ashlynn and reached for her hand. “Let’s go home.”
She jolted away from his touch furiously and said, “Go wash your hands! They stink of blood!”
Corentin’s hands were clean, and he knew what she meant as he realized she had discovered the truth
about Tina losing her baby.
“You put something in that drink you have served to her every day, didn’t you?” Ashlynn questioned
sharply.
“She shouldn’t have gotten pregnant.” Corentin did not deny it.
She looked up with disbelief. “Even if that’s true, you are the one who got her pregnant. She can’t get
pregnant on her own. Why are you ming her for a mistake that both of you made? No matter what,
the baby is already five months old. It’s practically a human being. How could… How could you do such
a thing? Why did you have to be so cruel? Are you even human, Corentin Lloyd? That’s your son!”
“So you are saying that I’m supposed to ept it simply because she’s pregnant with my son?”
Corentin crouched down and grabbed her by the jaw as he narrowed his eyes viciously. “I didn’t need
it! Are you this angry because this reminds you of our dead son, or are you mourning the loss of your
chance to freedom? Did you really allow yourself to believe that once she gives birth, you will manage
to get away?” Provoked, she trembled as she felt her heart shattering into pieces like a flower in a
rainstorm. Ashlynn stood and shoved Corentin away with all her might. “I’m not living with a monster
like you! You should just check yourself into an asylum!” With that, she stumbled away from him,
determined to leave Corentin and the hell he was in.
No… I don’t want him! How can I save myself? How can I escape this nightmare?” she screamed in her
mind.
Corentin lifted her up from behind.
“Let me go! Don’t touch me!” She resisted hysterically, but Corentin still managed to shove her into the
car.
She pressed her body against the window and refused to look at him as though one look would send
her over the edge.
