My Mute Bride

Chapter 88 Just Stop

“I… I’ll do it.” Mrs. Duncan volunteered herself after Sue pinched her.

“No.” Julian was blocking the room, stopping anyone from seeing what was happening inside. He then pointed at a young maid behind Mrs. Duncan. “You. Come with me.”

The young maid was surprised, so she looked at Mrs. Duncan to ask her opinion.

“Is something the matter, Master Julian? She’s a newbie, so I can—”

“No. I said I want her. Do you understand me?” Julian growled darkly, silencing everyone. After the young maid went into the room, Julian closed the door again, leaving everyone dumbfounded. When they heard the door locking up, Sue knew she couldn’t find anything out.

Sue frowned. “What happened inside?”

Mrs. Duncan shook her head. “It’s dark. Can’t see a thing.”

When Sue recalled what happened the night before, her frown deepened further.

At the same time, Julian turned the lights on. When the maid saw the state the bed was in, she paled and gasped. Julian told her, “Take her to the bathroom and bathe her.”

“Master Julian, what h—”

“Don’t ask. And what happened here stays here, got it?”

The servant nodded hastily.

Steam from the hot water was filling the bathroom up. Rachel was in a bathtub, staring ahead blankly, while the maid silently was wiping her body.

In the meantime, Julian was standing outside, telling the maid to put some salve on Rachel’s wound on the lower body. The moment the pain assailed her, Rachel curled up. When she recalled what happened the night before, she started shivering. “Did I hurt you, Madam?”
