Chapter 1433


    Beth sat beside the bed, sobbing softly with her head bowed


    Marshall and Jeremy were also there, standing solemnly


    “Ashlynn, you are awake? Jeremy was the first to spot Ashlynn opening her eyes dazedly


    Beth and Marshall immediately approached and called their daughter worriedly.


    “Ash!”


    “Dad Mom Ashlynn’s voice was hoarse.


    “Hurry up, call the doctor,” Beth urged frantically.


    Jeremy had already rung the bell.


    The doctor came to check her out.


    Ashlynn learned from the doctor that she only had a minor scrape on her arm and nothing serious.


    Anyone who saw her family’s reaction would have thought she was seriously injured.


    After the doctor left, Beth held her slightly cold hand and said, “Although the doctor said you’re fine, you


    still have to tell me if you feel ufortable, okay?”


    Ashlynn looked around the private ward and asked, “Where’s Corentin?”


    Jeremy said, “As a former subordinate, I went to see him. He had some internal injuries, but they were


    not serious. He’ll be able to be discharged from the hospital after staying for a few months.”


    Ashlynn knew Corentin was hurt rather badly.


    He was lucky.


    Under normal conditions, he would have died if the bathhouse had copsed like that.


    “I didn’t expect Corentin to protect you with his own life. When he recovers, let’s go to the Hilton’s


    house for dinner!” This incident changed Beth’s opinion of Corentin.


    Ashlynn had other opinions though.


    She did not n to live the rest of her life with Corentin.


    She would take what she needed and leave.


    However, she said nothing.


    Ashlynn went to Corentin’s ward while the family was away.


    Corentin was half leaning on the bed with his eyes closed, giving off a sharp and hostile look.


    The mobile phone was ced by the bed so that he could control the affairs of thepany at any


    time.


    Ashlynn walked to the bed, looked at the motionless Corentin, and asked, “How long are you going to


    pretend to be asleep?”


    Corentin opened his eyes and stared at her for a moment. “You saw through me?”


    “I came to see you. I heard from my mother that you suffered internal injuries. Fortunately, your life is


    not in danger You should rest well in the hospital.”


    Corentin patted the edge of the bed.


    Ashlynn moved closer to him.


    Corentin pulled her hand over, and she fell into his arms. “I’ve been in the hospital for a few days, and


    you’re here only now? I saved your life. Shouldn’t you be more thankful?”


    “I’m a little dizzy,” Ashlynn said.


    “Dizzy? From the concussion?” Corentin raised her face, looked at her expression, and frowned with


    concern.


    “That was two days ago, and I’m fine now. My mother won’t let me out of bed. Also, I’m here to see


    you, and there’s something else I want to tell you,” Ashlynn said quietly, meeting those amber eyes.


    “What is it?”


    “I want a divorce.”


    The hand that slid across her face froze, and Corentin asked, “What did you say?”


    Ashlynn got up from him. Just as she got up, Corentin yanked her and pulled her back down on top of


    him.


    With that strength, it was impossible to tell that he was lying on a hospital bed.


    He pinched her jaw and raised it. “I just saved your life, and you want a divorce? Ashlynn, are you that


    heartless?”


    “If I didn’t care about you, I wouldn’t have tried to shield you from a bullet.”


    Corentin’s expression was gloom and anger as he struggled to keep his emotions in check “Give me a


    reason why!”


    “It’s too risky to be with you. I don’t want to live in fear like this constantly” Ashlynn had alreadye


    up. with an exnation.

    “I’ll make sure to protect you and prevent situations like this from urring again.
