Chapter 237 - Her Breaking Point (2/2)

When they returned to the Greenville Residence, Jiang Ruolan specially invited a family doctor to follow them home and take care of Xian Zihao's injuries.

Upon entering the house, Xian Zihao's arm was still around her. Although his face was pale, his eyes were warm and clear like a spring. There wasn't a shred of disdain, only heartache.

”Don't think too much, go take a shower.” He pointed with his chin towards the bathroom.

Jiang Ruolan's whole body was exhausted. Although she was worried about Xian Zihao's wounds, she could tell that he was still fine except for his pale face due to excessive blood loss. Knowing that the family doctor had been arranged nearby, she nodded obediently.

Xian Zihao, on the other hand, still wasn't at ease with her. Although her current mood was normal, Jiang Ruolan would occasionally sit in a daze. It was as if her soul had left her body. Xian Zihao went to prepare hot shower water for her.

When Jiang Ruolan walked into the bathroom, the bathroom was already filled with warmth and steam, blurring her vision. She submerged her body in the warm water. All of her thoughts were ignited in an instant. She wanted to cry when she remembered the damned incident.

Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and vigorously rubbed every part of her body with soap.

She rubbed the skin all over her body until it turned red and still felt that she couldn't remove those disgusting marks. Jiang Ruolan lowered her body, immersing her head in the water, allowing the warm water to wrap around her everything.

”Ruolan!” The bathroom was soundproof, but Jiang Ruolan could still hear the sound of the bathroom door opening, and then Xian Zihao pulled her out of the water.

”What are you doing?” His gaze was locked on her face, and he saw that all the skin on her body was completely red. His eye stayed on her face for a long time, unable to leave it.

”I just want to soak in hot water.” Jiang Ruolan wiped her eyes, which had turned even redder due to the hot water. She forced a smile and looked at him. ”Zihao, don't worry about me. I'm fine.”

Xian Zihao's brows furrowed tightly as he held her back with one hand. ”Ruolan, you can't do anything stupid.”

”I won't, don't worry!” Jiang Ruolan nodded her head vigorously and sincerely assured him, ”The wound on your shoulder should not be exposed to water. Hurry up and get out. Once I'm done, I'll get out.”

Xian Zihao sighed helplessly. He looked at her face for a moment before walking out of the bathroom.

Jiang Ruolan no longer dared to think about those scenes. She raised her hand to stroke the old scar on her shoulder, then stroked the fading red scar on her collarbone. Her gaze fixed on a certain point in the steaming mist. However, when she thought about the nude photos that Wei Donghai had taken and the camera in the basement, her heart sank.

Wei Donghai escaped ahead of time. Jiang Ruolan didn't know if he would use the photos as a threat. All of this was related not only to her honor but also to Xian Zihao's reputation. She was held naked by others and had too many unbearable memories.

Jiang Ruolan would only stain Xian Zihao's life if she continued to be with him.
