Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 240 I Am Willing To Give You Everything

The rain in the night was bitterly cold, penetrating to the bone. Eileen quickly draped a shawl over herself and descended the stairs, while Mary turned on the downstairs light.

In the darkness, a man was dragging his exhausted body, moving slowly step by step. Seeing this, Eileen’s pupils contracted, and without hesitation, she rushed into the rain. Mary quickly grabbed the umbrella hanging at the entrance and followed her, holding it up.

Eileen was speckled with droplets of water, her delicate eyebrows furrowed in concern. “What’s wrong with you? It’s late, why aren’t you home yet? Why aren’t you using an umbrella in the rain? Where’s Fabian?”

Seeing his disheveled appearance, Eileen’s heart tightened, and her throat felt constricted.

Jasper moved his thin lips, collapsing onto Eileen as if he had used up his last bit of strength to hold her tightly. The water droplets on his black hair were icy cold as they trickled down, seeping into Eileen’s fair neck. Eileen slightly leaned back, tentatively patting Jasper’s back. “Jasper?”

Mary exclaimed, “Oh, my! He has fainted!”

Eileen quickly helped him to the living room sofa. “Mary, please boil some water and fetch at clean set of clothes from Eric’s room.”

“Oh, okay.”

Eileen’s clothes were also half-soaked. When she took off her shawl, she was startled to see a patch of bright red blood on one side.

Where did this bloodstain come from?

As Eileen removed his suit jacket, she discovered that the tattoo on his neck looked as if it had been removed. There were multiple scars left behind, and a few spots inexplicably stained with blood.

Fearing that something might really happen to Jasper, she didn’t have time to think too much. She reached out and unbuttoned his shirt. After taking it off, Eileen covered her mouth in shock, her body trembling uncontrollably as waves of shock tore through her heart.

Not a single part of his upper body was unscathed. From his neck down to his fingertips, one could clearly see numerous burn-like wounds.
