The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

hapter 161 Teetering on the Edge

The antidote still hadn’t arrived.

James knew that in situations like this, a cold shower could help clear someone’s head.

But he also remembered that she’d once fallen ill after being chilled, leaving her body vulnerable. He didn’t want to risk it.

So once the bathtub was filled with warm water, he threw her straight into the bathroom.

Originally, he’d planned to take her to the hospital–there was blood on her arm. But after her wild behavior in the car, he realized most of it had rubbed off, and that it wasn’t hers. She wasn’t actually injured.

That was the only reason he brought her home instead.

“Lily! Come take your medicine!”

Twenty minutes after he tossed her in the bath, his assistant finally delivered the antidote.

She should’ve finished by now. It was late, and he wanted to shower and rest too, so he decided to call her

out.

He called her again and again–but got no response.

The silence was so unnatural, it filled him with dread.

She hadn’t… drowned, had she?

Not daring to waste another second, he shoved the bathroom door open and rushed inside.

There she was–eyes closed, slowly sliding deeper into the water. The level had already reached her chin. If he’d come in even a few minutes later, it would’ve submerged her completely.

And she didn’t seem to notice any of it.
