Chapter 20

When Madeline remembered her battered self. she did not know what to do.

Every woman would want to present their best selves to the man they loved. However. whenever she was with him, she would be in her worst and most torn-up state. At this moment, she was even covered in the scars he had given her.

Madeline was stunned. and she subconsciously touched her stomach.
