Why was someone from Luton calling her?
Before this, she had only been in touch with Anne from Luton.
Ashlynn thought of something and hurriedly answered, "Hello?"
"Ashlynn, it's me, Anne."
When the familiar voice sounded, Ashlynn could not believe her ears. "Anne? Is it really you? Am I hearing it correctly?"
Corentin rested on the bed with one hand behind his head. When he heard who the caller was, he raised his brows.
Was it Anne...
"That's great. It's fine as long as you're fine." After Anne told her the summary of what had happened to her, Ashlynn was relieved. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
The two updated each other on their current situations, and they were both well.
When Ashlynn said she was fine, Corentin got out of bed, poured a glass of wine in front of the wine cabinet, raised his face slightly, and drank the wine in the glass.
Corentin's adam's apple rolled sensually as he swallowed the wine.
The two talked for a long time before Anne asked, "Is Uncle Corentin there?"
"Yes. Hold on." Ashlynn handed the phone to Corentin.
"Hello."
"Uncle Corentin, I'm Anne."
"It's great that you're still alive." Corentin's voice did not fluctuate much and sounded restrained.
"That's right. I was just lucky." Then, Anne changed the subject without elaborating, "Are you and Ashlynn okay?"
"We're doing great."
"Mm. Uncle Corentin, can you help me with something?"
"Do say."
"Help me find out if anyone in Athetin has a skin condition similar to psoriasis. It's more serious than psoriasis, with itching and skin ulceration. There has never been such a case before, and there's only one case in Luton. I heard that Athetin also has a similar case, but I wonder how serious it is?" Anne asked.
Corentin's amber eyes flashed through the darkness, and he asked, "How does one get it?"
"Poisoned," Anne said.
"Alright. I'll ask someone to check it later. Send the photos of the conditions to my phone."
After talking a while more, Corentin said he would visit her when he was free before ending the call.
"I told you Anne won't die, and she's just missing." Ashlynn watched as Corentin put down his phone and said.
"I have to say, she's really lucky." Corentin touched Ashlynn's face, and his gaze was gentle. "She's fine, so I feel much more at ease. After all, she's still a part of the Lloyd family, my niece."
Ashlynn did not expect Corentin would actually care about his family. He was ruthless to others and himself, a man with flesh and blood but unable to empathize.
It was just that Co rentin had really changed a lot in the past two years.
For example, Corentin stayed with her the entire time when she was sad that Anne had disappeared, and it was like they found comfort in each other.
"What did Anne say to you?" Ashlynn asked.
"Anne's friend probably has some kind of disease, and she was asking if there are any similar cases in our hospital. It's no big deal, " Corentin said briefly.
Ashlynn thought it was probably Anne's best friend who had fallen sick, so how could it be a trivial matter? Then, she reminded him, " Then you should ask about it tomorrow."
"I'm going to make a phone call now." Corentin picked Ashlynn up, gently placed her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt. " As for you... Stay in bed obediently, and I'll bring you food later."
"Mm." Ashlynn saw Corentin leave the room, and she rolled over, feeling really tired.
Downstairs, Corentin checked the photos that Anne sent to his phone, which showed symptoms of skin ulcers.
The photos were shocking.
Corentin forwarded the photos to others calmly and entered the study.
As soon as the study door was closed, Corentin received a call.
