Chapter 2867: Chapter 2867: The First One to Find Her (5)

Jiang Nan’s body was stiff at the door, his hand gripping the door handle so tightly it seemed he might crush it.

Looking at the person in the bathtub, his rational mind told him to look away immediately, but seeing the kiss marks and bruises on her shoulders and neck, Jiang Nan’s gaze was unable to detach from the scene in front of him.

All the faucets in the bathroom were turned on, the sound of the water was loud enough to drown out all other sounds.

Meimei’s petite body was curled up in the bathtub, the water submerged her chest, her clothes were still on, soaked and clinging to her, her entire body immersed in the water for unknown hours, her skin starting to turn pale.

She seemed lost in her own world, hardly noticing the presence of Jiang Nan by the door, muttering incessantly to herself, then scrubbing her arm vigorously, as if trying to peel a layer of skin off, even as blood was drawn, she did not stop.

Soon, a splash of crimson tainted the bathtub...

Listening carefully, Jiang Nan realized she was mumbling, "So dirty..."

As if struck by lightning!

Jiang Nan’s handsome figure froze, staring at her self-destructive actions.

In just a second, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, finally settling on her pallid little face.

Jiang Nan’s narrow, almond-shaped eyes squinted slightly, as if suddenly coming to his senses. He abruptly stepped forward, grasping her hand, his voice deep, "Stop scrubbing, your hand is bleeding!"

"..."

Meimei’s gaze faltered, stunned by Jiang Nan’s sudden appearance, turning her head to look at the door that had been pushed open, her small mouth slightly agape, then, recalling something, she quickly turned around, wrapping herself tightly.

"Don’t look... Don’t look, so dirty..."

"Not dirty! No matter what happens, Meimei is the cleanest girl in the world!" Jiang Nan’s heart constricted sharply, he reached out and scooped her up from the bathtub, holding her tightly in his arms, preventing her from hurting herself further.

Without Meimei saying much, he had already guessed what had happened. The initial fury upon seeing the mottled injuries on her body was replaced only by heartache, an overwhelming heartache!

"I’m not, not anymore, I feel so dirty... Let go of me, I want to bathe..." Meimei seemed possessed, her mind fixated on returning to the bathtub.

Having soaked in water for too long, her lips had turned purple, her entire body displaying an abnormal skin tone, and the pinching and kissing marks on her arms made an increasingly glaring sight.

Jiang Nan’s hold on her tightened sharply, he pulled a bathrobe over her, wrapping her securely, to keep her from moving.

Each word seemed to drain all his strength, spoken with effort.

"Who did it?"

Jiang Nan’s voice was hoarse, veins bulging on the back of his hand, his restraint evident.

His handsome face was cloaked in a terrifying fierceness.

"I don’t know, I was drunk..."

"I wanted to run, but I couldn’t..."

"It hurts so much..."

Meimei held her head, curling into a ball, her face lined with a look of collapse, speaking while desperately tugging at her hair, turning her head wanting to return to the bathtub again.

Every scene from last night, recalling it now, felt like a nightmare.

"I don’t remember... I know nothing..."

"Let me bath..."

Meimei struggled fiercely, trying to crawl back into the bathtub.

"If you can’t remember, don’t think about it, it’s all over now, it’s okay!" Jiang Nan’s hold on her tightened, standing abruptly, he swiftly carried her out of the bathroom.
