Chapter 117

There was no sound from the bathroom for a long time.

After a long while, Madison spoke again.

“Really? Can’t you find it? It doesn’t matter if it’s thicker…”

Although it was early summer, the temperature at night was not high. Moreover, the Palmer family’s old residence was built on the mountain. Temperatures at night were cold enough to warrant a blanket, so wearing thicker clothes seemed fine.

In any case, everything was better than the two pieces of cloth she had in her hand.

Leo also fell silent.

A moment later, he said, “I’ve searched everywhere I can. Why don’t you wear your old clothes and come out first? You can look for it yourself.”

He was about to leave.

“Wait!” Through the frosted glass, Madison saw his silhouette seemingly about to leave. Helplessly, she shouted, “Give me the shirt…”

Then, the bathroom door was pulled open slightly, and she reached out her slender

arm.

The only imperfection that marred the beauty was a scar on the shoulder of her arm.

Although it was only a fine slit, it stood out conspicuously against her soft skin, impossible to overlook. Just like an intrusive dark cra ck on white jade, it created a sense of unease when looking at it.

Leo stood there motionless. He stared at the scar’s trace, trailing it till it was covered by the door. He could not see anymore.

How many more scars like this were there on her body?

The last banquet only revealed her back, but the mottled marks were already shocking and unforgettable.

Unexpectedly, there were more in other places…

“Leo?” In the bathroom, Madison had not received her clothes for a long time. She widened the opening of the door slightly and stuck her head out while holding her towel. “What are you daydreaming about?”

As a result, her shoulder bone, linked to her arm, was fully exposed, laying bare the
