Chapter 1113


    Chapter 1113 He Truly Hated Himself


    The adjutant was stunned by Jerome’s gaze, and the gloating look on the former’s face vanished


    instantly.


    “I’m going to ask you one more time. Did Zophie say anything wrong?” Jerome questioned in a deep


    voice, his face grim. The adjutant hesitated momentarily, at a loss for words.


    “Is that not the case? We let a woman handle a dangerous situation alone, while we, as soldiers, hid in


    the corner and watched her get tortured by the other party. Only when the threats were almost


    eliminated did we show up to take all spoils and credit that don’t belong to us.” Jerome clenched his


    fists, causing the veins on his arms to pop out.


    The adjutant had never thought that was a problem. Now that he was questioned by Jerome, he did not


    know what to say. Jerome mmed his fist heavily on the container, making a loud bang.


    What a coward! This is terrible! Jerome despised himself to the core. He understood Bastien’s n to


    kill two birds with one stone.


    From the perspective of the royal family and troops of Loang, Bastien’smand ensured a


    shameless yet beautiful win. But so what? My purpose for joining the army’s training and following my


    father’s footsteps is to be stronger so that I can protect Natalie. But now, I’m restrained by military


    orders and I can do nothing but watch when Natalie’s in danger. Jerome’s actions left the adjutant in a


    daze. “Major General Sutton, you—”


    “Where’s Natalie?” Jerome retracted his fist and cast the adjutant an icy re. “Did you send her home


    as I told you to?” The adjutant was hesitant to speak.


    Jerome bellowed, “Why aren’t you answering? Speak! Did you send Natalie home safely? Did you


    complete the task I gave you?”


    Under the pressure of Jerome’s questions, the adjutant had no choice but to say, “I did. I followed your


    orders and instructed someone to send Ms. Nichols home, but when they were halfway there—”


    Jerome lost his patience and snapped, “What happened halfway? I’m going to dismiss you and make


    you watch over the mines at the borders if you keep stuttering like that.”

    The threat was so effective that the adjutant hurriedly admitted, “Halfway there, Prince Jonathan


    showed up and told me to capture Zophie with you. Meanwhile, he would send Ms. Nichols to the


    hospital to receive her treatment. P-Prince Jonathan was the one who gave the order, so I didn’t dare


    to disobey him. And judging from the way he looked at Ms. Nichols, he didn’t look like he’d harm her, so


    I left.”


    Jerome balled his fists as an icy glint appeared in his eyes. Bastien! Looks like his desire for Natalie


    isn’t gone after what happened at the birthday party. No way! I must get Natalie back.


    “Major General Sutton, where are you—” asked the adjutant as he watched Jerome march toward the


    military off-road vehicle. “Find out which hospital Prince Jonathan took Natalie to.”


    “Huh?” The adjutant’s jaw dropped with disbelief written all over his face. Jerome barked, “Do you not


    understand such simple orders? I’m giving you fifteen minutes to find this out. Otherwise, I’m sending


    you to the borders.”


    The adjutant was rendered speechless. Jerome got into the driver’s seat and mmed on the gas


    pedal, speeding toward the dock.


    Meanwhile, Bastien carried Natalie in his arms and walked along the corridors of the royal hospital as if


    no one was watching.


    Not daring to take the matter lightly, the hospital staff followed behind Bastien closely, with countless


    questions crossing their minds.


    Who on earth is this woman? Why is she covered in Prince Jonathan’s clothes and carried by him in


    his arms?
