Ch. 1556..1560: Powerful Papa with Triplet Babies Chapter 1556-1560
Chapter 1556
The bodyguard pulled Luas out of bed. He was slightly unsteady on his feet. Just as he stood up, he was struck with a punch. With a loud thump, the punch landed on Lucas’ abdomen…
“Mmm!” Lucas was in so much pain that he let out a dull moan. It was as if his internal organs were all in the wrong places.
He was breaking out in cold sweat on his forehead. After his breathing was messed up, he lifted his shaking face, and his gaze was ice cold. “Other than these, what else have you got? Threw them all at me
“You’re overthinking it. I won’t kill you.”
“Are you afraid that Anne would question you?” Lucas sneered.
“That’s a business between us as a married couple, and you have no place to poke your nose into it. Take him away!” Anthony’s voice suddenly became deep.
The bodyguards did not dare to slack off for even half a second, and they forcefully brought Lucas away.
Lucas certainly has no way to resist. He was still limping.
After they left the hospital, Lucas went to another hospital. He was arranged to stay in a ward with a higher level of privacy.
After that, the bodyguards left.
Lucas sat at the edge of the bed. He felt a dull pain coming from his leg and his face was even paler.
Even if Anthony did not say it, Lucas knew Anthony’s intentions and also his worries.
He was simply preventing Anne from coming to look for him, was he not?
How would he let Anthony have his way?
Lucas realized that his phone had been taken away as well.
Therefore, when Anne gave Lucas a call the day after, nobody answered the call.
Just when she was prepared to call again, she received a text. [I’ve gone back. Don’t come looking for me.]
Anne was surprised. ‘Gone back? Why? His leg was still hurt, was it not? How could he walk?”
That was very strange.
Therefore, she went to the hospital and found out that he was truly no longer there.
The bed was nice and tidy.
When she walked out of the ward, she saw a nurse who happened to walk by. “Where is the patient in this
room?”
“He’s been discharged from the hospital.”
“Wasn’t he supposed to stay for a very long time?”
“His assistant came to pick him up.
Assistant…
Anne knew about that. Lucas had mentioned it before.
It was truly strange.
Was his assistant not here to take care of him? Did she come to directly take him away instead?
For some reason, she kept feeling that something was fishy.
Just when she was about to walk out of the hospital, the phone she had on her vibrated.
She glanced at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. “Hello, who is this?”
“Hello, I am Amelia Wright, Mr. Newman’s assistant. This is what’s going on. Something has happened to Mr. Newman. Can you help?”
Anne did not return to the Royal Mansion. Instead, she went directly to the Archduke Group.
She pushed the door open without getting any permission.
Anthony was having a discussion with the high-ranking executives inside the room. When they saw her coming in, they fell silent.
The high-ranking executives were in a panic. Who has such a death wish to barge into the office of the person in charge of the Archduke Group?
After taking a look at who that person was, they instantly felt it was justifiable.
Besides, they saw that Mr. Marwood was not angry at all. Instead, he looked worried.
“Get out,” said Anthony.
Of course, this was not directed at Anne.
Therefore, the high-ranking executives, who were especially great at reading social cues, left the room.
They even greeted Anne cautiously when they walked past her. “Hello, Mrs. Marwood.”
“Hello, Mrs. Marwood.”
“Hello, Mrs. Marwood.”
Anne was not happy at all. She was looking at Anthony angrily.
Anthony walked up to her and held her hand. “What’s the matter? What happened?”
Anne was so angry that she pulled her hands back. “What have you done behind my back?”
The lines on Anthony’s face were tense, and he put his hands by his side. “What do you think I’m doing?”
“Did you lock Lucas up? What exactly did you do to him?”
“Are you so worried about him?” The air around Anthony has already turned cold.
“How many times have I told you that nothing is going on between him and me?!”
“I’ve also told you that there’s no need for you to get involved in this matter. Why did you still go see him?” Anthony touched her face. “You clearly know I don’t like it.”
Chapter 1557
Anne felt annoyed at his touch, so she turned around to let her back facing him. “Don’t suspect me without a cause. I am only thinking from a friend’s standpoint. I chose to believe you, but I also want to make some contribution. I owe him that much.”
She has already made herself clear, so there was no need for them to hide anything anymore.
“It’s just transferring to another hospital. You’re overreacting.” Anthony’s voice was a little cold.
What he meant was that Anne was worrying too much about another man.
Anne knew Anthony’s character too well. She has seen how terrible his personality was.
How could she truly believe Anthony would become gentle?
She walked out of the bedroom, sat down on the couch, and scrolled on her phone without any purpose.
On the other hand, because Anne was not in front of him, the air to Anthony, who was in the bedroom, instantly became scary. It was so ghastly and cold as if he had come out of hell.
In summary, no matter how angry Anne was, he would not allow her to see Lucas alone!
Both of them said nothing when they were both lying in bed at night.
Anne was sleeping on her side with her eyes closed as she was trying to make herself sleepy.
However, there was no need to sleep in separate beds.
Because she knew once she did that, Anthony would force her to sleep on this bed.
She did not wish for their relationship to become very tense.
However, she did not wish to say another word.
There was a slight vibration coming from the place next to her. It seemed like Anthony had laid down on the bed.
Immediately after, an arm went across her waist, enveloped her, and pulled her back.
Anne’s back was pressed against his solid and hot chest.
Anne did not move, much less want to speak.
There was no way that she would compromise.
“I’m wrong. Hmm? You’ve already ignored me for a few hours.” Anthony’s deep voice had the tone of making a compromise.
Anne, however, was speechless when she heard it.
It was only a few hours. It was not like it was a few days.
Besides, was she trying to ignore him or was it because he had gone overboard?!
“Push the lower half of your body to the back a little!” Anne was about to lose control of her emotions.
Not even a couple of sentences have been exchanged between them yet!
Was he still human?
“You don’t like it?”
“I’m not in the mood.”
“I’m not going to do it,” said Anthony.
Anne was doubtful.
“What did you guys talk about when you went to see Lucas?”
“We didn’t talk about anything. We just analyzed the car accident and the information that spread online, and we were suspecting who the person behind the scenes could be. We didn’t talk about anything else. The first person he suspected was you. I eliminated this idea of his. In the end, you locked him up. Who exactly is the one with a big problem?”
“It’s just changing the environment. All of the treatments he has gotten won’t change.” Anthony kissed her
hair.
Anne turned around and looked at him seriously. “Anthony, I will certainly care about this matter regarding Lucas, whether you’re happy about it or not. I will just do it anyway.”
Anthony looked at her without blinking at all. He did not say a word, but he was giving her a great sense of
pressure.
Anne did not back down at all.
At the same time, it was very hard for her to imagine how Anthony would react next.
Would their relationship become worse?
“Alright.”
Anne was slightly stunned. He said…alright?
Anthony rubbed her skin with his finger. “I was just worried about your safety this whole time. Tommy still hasn’t been captured. I’m worried.”
“How can I be captured so easily? Besides, if I keep hiding at home, Tommy can’t showcase his skills either! If this is the case, when will we be able to find clues about him?” Anne analyzed.
“I found out that something is wrong in Athetin.”
Anne was shocked. “Is it Ivan who found out? Tommy’s in Athetin?”
Chapter 1558
"We didn't find him. It's just that another person who has the same symptoms as that woman has appeared, and the person has already been restrained. Ivan is still conducting a thorough investigation on this."
Anne was slightly stunned. ''Was he infected by that person in the past?"
"Both of them didn't know each other, much less have the need to be in contact." Anthony's black eyes darkened. "It doesn't seem like it's Tommy's doing. The man comes from a simple background."
"But if this has nothing to do with Tommy, then why would he have that kind of symptoms? It's not logical," Anne analyzed, "should we go over and have a look?"
"No need. Ivan will investigate."
Anne looked at him suspiciously. "You're not deliberately staying here to keep an eye on me, are you?"
Anthony looked at her calmly. "You're doubting Ivan’s ability."
Anne was speechless. It would indeed be hurtful to others if she were to doubt their ability.
She has no choice but to wait and see how the situation would be.
Corentin gave Owen a kick in a bar in Athetin. "Id*otic pig! This is not the first person who ran out! Can you still f*cking do anything right?"
The people next to him did not dare to make a sound.
Even Paul was frowning. He thought this matter was handled too poorly. It was no wonder why Mr. Lloyd was angry.
Owen has already been given a chance, but he still screwed up.
"Mr. Lloyd, that person hid inside the freezer and escaped with the delivery truck. I didn't expect him to be so sly. Mr. Lloyd, please give me another chance." Owen was so regretful that he wished he could slam his head on the wall. "I'll go have him killed, alright? I'll certainly finish this properly."
"He's already being guarded by Ivan, and Ivan is not easy to mess with." Corentin looked at Owen, who was pleading on his knees on the ground, and said, "Paul, head over there with Owen, and bring some reliable men there. If you can't settle this matter, don't blame me for disregarding the bonds of our brotherhood in the past."
"Yes, Mr. Lloyd."
Corentin left the car with a darkened expression.
He was in a very terrible mood when he got in the car.
He was experimenting with the virus on humans. As long as he has successfully developed the cure, his medicine would be in great demand when the number of patients increased.
The stocks for his pharmaceutical manufacturing factory and medical supply company would skyrocket to an unpredictable height.
It was a critical time for the manufacturing of the cure at that moment, but they created such a problem for him. How could he not be angry?
When Corentin returned home, his emotions were already back to normal.
He went to the room and took a look at Ashlynn, who was asleep, before he went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out of the shower, the person on the bed was already awake and was sitting in recline on the bed.
"Why are you awake? Did I wake you up?" Corentin, who had just taken a shower and was putting on his pajamas, walked to the bed while his body was covered in water vapor, which made his figure sexy. "Or you can't
sleep because I'm not by your side?"
"Do you have a lot to work on at the company?"
"I went to socialize at the bar. You know what it's like. We always need to attend all sorts of socializing events when doing business. I usually say no, but I really can't refuse today." Corentin kissed her forehead. "Since you're awake, let's do some interesting exercise..."
He got on top of her and was about to kiss her lips.
"Hold on. I have something to ask you..."
"I'm listening." Corentin kissed her ear and bit it over and over again.
"Is it your associate's bar?" asked Ashlynn.
"No. I've already cut off all relations with them. You can go and check if you don't believe me.” Corentin's voice was already deep and husky.
"You're not lying to...mmm!"
"Dear, I noticed your body is quick to react recently. I've only kissed your ear a few times." Coretin's breathing was slightly rough.
Ashlynn bit her lips in embarrassment.
Her body was extremely sensitive recently and she has no idea what was going on either.
Just a light touch would make her body tremble intensely.
Chapter 1559
“Do you want it? Tell me.” Corentin was tempting her to say those embarrassing words out loud.
Ashlynn was so embarrassed that she became exasperated. “Shut up. I’ll kick you off the bed…”
She even made some empty threats.
Corentin snickered, “I’ll put my back into it then!”
“Ah!”
It was almost noon when Ashlynn woke up. She sat on the bed with her body feeling sore.
She did not even have a clue when Corentin left.
She was not even worked too hard by Corentin last night, so why was she able to sleep until noon?
She was truly getting weaker and weaker.
Ashlynn went to brush her teeth, but after just a few brushes, she felt nauseated.
It only felt better after resting for a while.
Has she caught a cold?
After she barely brushed her teeth, she went downstairs to see what was there to eat.
It was weird to call it breakfast at that hour, but it was still too early to say that she was having lunch.
As soon as she got downstairs, the butler came to her. “Mrs. Lloyd, your mother’s driver is here.”
“Huh?” Ashlynn looked at the driver in the living room and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Madam misses you, so she wants you to join her for lunch! You didn’t answer your phone, so she asked me to come and pick you up,” said the driver.
Once he said that, Ashlynn had it all figured out.
Her mother must be worried because she did not answer her phone, which was why she immediately sent
her driver over.
Her mother was worried that she was bullied by Corentin.
She went to the Hilton family’s mansion in the car. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw Beth enjoying the flowers there.
“Mom.”
“Why didn’t you answer the phone when I called?” Beth asked, then she carefully checked her body all over. “Are you alright?”
“I’m quite good.”
The driver said, “Miss Ashlynn woke up rather late, so she wasn’t able to answer the call.”
Only after he finished reporting to Beth that he left.
“There’s no need to worry. Corentin is very good to me.”
“That would be the best.”
A car drove in. It was Jeremy returning.
The car was brought to a halt with an emergency brake, and Jeremy got out of the car. His long legs were eye-catching and he had a mighty air to him.
“When did you get here?”
“I just arrived a moment ago. How come you’re back?” asked Ashlynn.
“The food at the cafeteria is too disgusting. I might as well come home to have lunch,” said Jeremy.
Beth wanted to laugh but she held it in to not let him lose face.
He clearly wanted to have lunch with his sister but he used such an excuse.
Jeremy was already very familiar with the company’s business at that moment, so unless it was something major, Beth practically did not need to appear in person anymore.
Therefore, when Beth wanted to have lunch with her daughter, she would not go to the company.
The table was filled with feast and it was almost all Ashlynn’s favorite dishes.
The smell was heavenly.
Ashlynn only started on the main dish after finishing the soup.
However, she felt her stomach getting upset after just taking a few bites.
“You don’t look well. Are you not feeling well?” Beth noticed something was not right.
“What’s the matter?” asked Jeremy.
Ashlynn shook her head. “I’m fine.” She rested for a while, then she grabbed a spoonful of the food. She already stuffed the food into her mouth, but she puked it all out. “Mmm!”
She hurriedly covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom.
“Ash!”
Beth and Jeremy followed behind her in a hurry.
“Blargh! Blargh…blargh…” Ashlynn threw up while hugging the toilet, and she vomited all the food that she had swallowed earlier.
Beth patted her back anxiously. “What’s the matter? Why didn’t you tell me that you’re not feeling well?”
Jeremy accepted the water that the butler handed him, and passed it to Ashlynn, who was feeling weak, for her to gargle. “You look very pale. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“There’s no need for that. I might have caught a cold. My stomach won’t feel upset anymore after I’m done throwing up.” Ashlynn did not want to make such a big deal out of it. “I’ll just go lay down in the
room.”
“Are you really sure it’s nothing serious?” Beth was worried. “Mm-hmm. I’ll go to the hospital if I still feel terrible later.”
Chapter 1560
Upon saying that, Ashlynn walked out of the bathroom.
However, before she had even taken a couple of steps, she blacked out and her body collapsed.
Before she lost consciousness, she heard her mother shouting in a panic.
When Ashlyn came to, she was already at the hospital.
Ash, how are you feeling?“ Beth asked with concern.
"Mom..." said Ashlynn. Her body was surprisingly not too weak. She turned her face and saw Jeremy sitting on the couch next to her. He was looking unhappy.
She could not help but feel scared. She could not have gotten some sickness, could she?
"Silly child. You're already pregnant yet you had no clue about it. You’ve truly frightened me," said Beth while smiling.
Ashlynn's mind was completely befuddled. "Pregnant? No. I can't possibly be pregnant."
"Why not?" Beth asked, "Are you guys using contraceptives?"
Right at that moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and in came Corentin.
Ashlynn's line of sight landed behind him. It was Meredith.
How come both of them were together?
If they were not together, Meredith would not be so kind to come and visit her.
"What's happening?" Corentin held her hand. The lines on his face were tense. "Which part of you is not feeling well? What did the doctor say?"
Ashlynn was a little perplexed herself.
Beth, who was next to her, said, "Corentin, you're going to be a father."
Coretin's hand that was holding Ashlynn's hand trembled a little. He was a little stunned by this unexpected news.
Meredith did not look too happy.
She originally thought of finding a chance to ridicule Ashlynn for being infertile since she still has not gotten pregnant after so long. However, it was actually such a good thing instead.
It was a great and joyful matter for both the Lloyd and Hilton family.
"That's impossible. Could the doctor be mistaken?" Corentin had a grave expression.
"Why did both you and Ash say the same thing?" Beth was confused. "Both of you have been married for so long, yet you're still using contraceptives?"
"I had a vasectomy done," said Corentin.
"You..." Beth was surprised.
Jeremy was also surprised.
"Why did you get a vasectomy for no reason?" Beth could not understand it at all because to Beth, a couple should have children since they were getting married. Otherwise, they should not get married. "Who's idea was it? ■
Ashlynn found it a little hard to tell the truth.
Corentin saw her looking like that, so he took on the responsibility himself." It's mine."
"What were you thinking? Why don't you want children? Corentin, explain yourself!" Beth became fierce.
If Ashlynn wanted to have children but he did not, then her daughter would be greatly aggrieved!
"Auntie, the problem is not the vasectomy now. Rather...Ashlynn had an affair," Meredith interjected, "You guys heard him. Corentin already had a vasectomy."
Beth and Jeremy were at a loss for words for a moment.
Jeremy pushed Meredith away. "Get out of here! Don't force me to slap you! ■
Meredith got so angry that she shook his hand off. "Did I say anything wrong? That's indeed possible! Corentin was also very shocked! Since he already had a vasectomy, how could the child exist?"
Beth looked at Meredith with a sharp gaze as she hoped she would shut her mouth.
How could she simply say such a thing?
"Ashlynn, just come clean! Don't lie to us here. Did you get pregnant with someone else's child but you're going to make Corentin the father?" Meredith looked at Ashlynn.
"I've never betrayed him." Ashlynn was a conservative person.
Even after she got a divorce, she remained single.
"You certainly won't admit it if we ask you. How about this? Have a DNA paternity test done!" said Meredith.
"No," Beth objected.
Meredith stepped forward looking like she was doing it for everybody's sake. "Auntie, it's best to terminate the pregnancy inconspicuously when the child is still so small. If the word of Ashlynn having an affair and making a cuckold of Corentin got out, it would make both the Lloyd and Hilton family a laughing stock!"
