My Mute Bride

Chapter 248 Damsel in Distress

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.”

“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.

“Yes, sir.”
