My Mute Bride

Chapter 248 Damsel in Distress

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.”

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

“Justin, what’s wrong?” Amber suddenly shrieked as she supported his wobbly figure. “Justin, hang in there! Someone, please call the police! Call the police quickly!”
