The Silent Wife

Chapter 248

In the heavy rain, the white sports car sped away with a loud roar of the engine.

Amber and Justin were the only ones standing outside the Hudson Residence.

As she was still holding the umbrella, she shielded him from the storm as she asked, “Justin, let’s get some shelter. You don’t have to ill-treat yourself.”

“She said everything was caused by me. What do you think?”

Amber’s heart sank as she looked at him in surprise. “What does Hans’ death have to do with you? That’s because he’s unlucky. We don’t see anyone else encountering something like this, do we?”

“I was the one who broke his leg, though,” Justin mumbled.

He could not recall the incident, but a memory suddenly flashed in his mind.

“Hold him down.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Aaaah,” The man yelled in pain. After that, his voice broke off as if he had died.

Then, someone next to him poured a bucket of cold water to wake him up.

“Continue.”

Justin remembered the white walls in the hospital. The smell of disinfectant was just as strong even in his memories.

And bit by bit, he started to remember the past incidents.
