In his heart, he thought, ‘Isabella, this time I’ll treat it as repaying you. I don’t owe you anything anymore.‘

With his current physical condition, a whip like this striking his body would hardly be worse than scratching an itch. With Leticia’s strength, it would not cause any real harm.

A hint of approval flickered in Leticia’s eyes. She raised the whip in her hand. Now the outcome depended on Isabella.

Just as she expected, the moment Leticia lifted the whip, Isabella sprang to her feet. She threw herself onto Dominic and cried out, “Grandma, don’t hit him! If you want to punish someone, punish me!”

Leticia frowned and put on an impatient expression. “So who exactly should I hit? How about five lashes each?” “No!” Isabella cried through uncontrollable sobs. “Grandma, just hit me. Hit only me. Don’t hit my husband! I’m begging you…”

A trace of complexity flashed across Dominic’s eyes.

Leticia’s gaze flickered. She knew the act had reached its final moment. Gritting her teeth, she swung the whip with force.

“Ah!” Everyone cried out at once.

Isabella clung to Dominic, completely blocking the strike. A burning pain tore across her shoulder and down her back, forcing a muffled groan from her lips.

The Sinclairs‘ ancestral whip was notoriously tough. When it struck the body, it left a bloody mark at once.

Moreover, Leticia had not held back at all.

Dominic’s heart jolted. He turned around immediately and asked instinctively, “Are you alright?”

Isabella ignored him and continued pleading with Leticia. “Grandma, just hit me. Please don’t hurt my husband. I’m begging you…”

A trace of heartache flashed in Leticia’s eyes..

At that moment, James suddenly understood. He roughly grasped Leticia’s intention, so he stepped forward at once and pleaded, “Mom, forget it. Isabella already knows she was wrong.”

Isabella had already taken the whip, and the desired effect had been achieved. As he spoke, James kept signaling his two younger brothers with his eyes.

John and Jenson understood immediately and stepped forward to plead as well.

Soon, the entire family joined in. Even Yvonne spoke up with a hypocritical show of concern.

Only then did Leticia reluctantly withdraw the whip. “Dominic, take Isabella to the room and let her rest.”

Dominic nodded silently and supported Isabella as they walked up to the second floor.

He pushed open the familiar room. It looked exactly the same as the last time they had stayed there. The room was clean and tidy. Someone had clearly been maintaining it.

A photo frame hung above the head of the bed. It held his wedding photo with Isabella. The Sinclairs had specially reserved this room for them.

Dominic glanced at it before helping Isabella onto the bed.

“Honey…” Isabella suddenly grabbed his hand and looked up at him with tearful eyes. “I’m sorry. I really know I was wrong, honey…”

Her voice carried a pleading tone.

Dominic remained silent for a moment before gently pulling open her clothes.

Isabella wore a red sweater over a purple undergarment.

When he removed the sweater, he saw a vicious whip mark stretching across her back. Blood still seeped from the wound.

Dominic’s heart tightened, but he spoke calmly. “You shouldn’t have blocked it.”

Isabella pressed her lips together. “Honey, I can’t bear to see you get hurt, not even a little.”

Dominic let out a faint laugh. “But you’ve already left me covered in wounds.”

Isabella’s face turned pale at once.

Dominic shook his head. “Let’s not talk about that.”

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

“Sir, are you inside? Madam asked me to bring medicine.”
