Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands

Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Bai Yan No Longer Hides

"It hurt... a lot." Xiao Jinsheng sobbed.

Even though her fragmented memories weren’t fully recalled,

the image of Li’s body covered in gaping, bloody wounds cut through her heart with a gnawing pain.

Facing Xiao Jinsheng’s tear-filled eyes, Li gently removed her hand from his mask and reassured her, "It doesn’t hurt anymore."

Li’s comforting words only made the ache in Xiao Jinsheng’s chest intensify.

Even with incomplete memories, in those fifteen days of fleeing, what she remembered struck her deeply—

Li’s body, completely devoid of unbroken skin, covered in claw marks, yet he still protected her diligently.

All she had were some dirt stains and exhaustion, not a single injury.

"I’m sorry..." Xiao Jinsheng choked out, voice trembling.

She thought, if only she had the ability to fight, Li wouldn’t have suffered such grievous wounds.

"I’m sorry." Li, filled with regret and lingering fear, spoke up.

Their apologies overlapped in unison, both freezing at the other’s words.

Li spoke in a remorseful tone, "I shouldn’t have left without waiting for you. If I had waited outside the shelter for a few more days, maybe... maybe they wouldn’t have tampered with your memories."

"I—" Xiao Jinsheng closed her eyes and raised a hand to rub her temples as fractured glimpses of memory flashed through her mind again.

"Jinsheng, wake up." A woman’s voice sounded softly in her ear.

Shao Jinsheng struggled to open her eyes and saw Bai Yan’s smiling face.

"Sister Bai?" Xiao Jinsheng asked in confusion.

Bai Yan raised a hand, waving it in front of Jinsheng’s eyes, before glancing at the incoming notification from the Star Map, sent by the shelter’s robot guardians.
