Chapter 1158

It was because she was not satisfied with Anthony's reply.

"No."

Anthony's reply did not make Anne feel happy, but she did not feel unhappy either. It was as

though she had lost her ability to judge right and wrong.

Anthony had already left to prepare the bath water.

The condition of her face was not suitable for a shower. The shower water would splash on her face.

She saw Anthony taking off his clothes and revealing his seductively muscular back. His muscles

moved as he moved, full of energy.

"Are you... Are you going to take a bath too?” Anne asked uncertainly.

Anthony turned around. His well-defined muscular chest and abs were visually impactful, and he

asked, “What is the matter?”

Anne shifted her eyesight. She had a sudden urge to remove the bandage on her face so that he

could not take a bath while facing her in such a condition.

She did not expect Anthony to have this kind of request.

*...Nothing,” she replied after two seconds of hesitation.

She was sure that even if she were injured, she would still somehow get Anthony's feathers ruffled

and end up with a tragic consequence...

The bathtub was huge, like a mini pool.

Anne sat in the tub, the water rippling lightly. The water level was just right under her collarbone.

The light rays shone right through the water and refracted under the water, clinging onto her body,

twisting, moving.

Anthony sat down. The water level was different from on her body. It reached the top of his abs.

It was obvious that the two had many differences in terms of the strength of their body.

Anne looked petite and tiny next to him.

“Come over.” Anthony put his hand on her waist and brought her closer to him.

Anne looked slightly uncomfortable, and her body was stiff. She did not dare to move. The trauma

in her mind made her face pale.

“Relax,” Anthony said.

Anne tried to relax, but it felt as though she had never learned how to relax her whole life. It was so

difficult for her.

Anthony's hand was gliding along her tiny waist, which was covered entirely in bruises.

“I was too easy on her.” Anthony's eyes were cold and ruthless, he was trying hard to suppress

them, but he still looked terrifying.

Even if he was not talking about Anne, she was still freaked out by his ruthlessness.

She covered her hand over his, but his hand was so big that she could barely cover half of it.

“She is dead. She had her unfulfillment before she was dead. That was her punishment already,”

Anne said.

“I went there too late.” Anthony's palm covered the back of her hand and then pressed to his

direction.

The distance between them was shortened, and Anne was feeling on edge, as though she was

sitting on a fire.

"No..."

Anthony retrieved the towel from the side and said, “Lift your head up.”

Anne obediently lifted her head. Anthony used the towel and dipped some water, then wiped her

body gently over her neck, her collarbone, and her shoulders. He was helping her to bathe.

Anne remembered that when she was a kid, the villagers used to take baths in big metal pots that

could be put on fire and heated up.

She was tiny and did not know how to bathe, so she always slipped to the bottom

and choked on water.

Her aunt would always help her to bathe, and she would do the same, helping her by using a towel.

Her eyes were warm, and her tears suddenly fell onto Anthony's chest.

Anthony's hands paused, and his heart tightened. He placed his finger beneath her eyes. “Are you

feeling unwell?”

Anne shook her head. “My mother... And my aunt was murdered by Lilian. She admitted it..."

They had been unable to find the murderer all along because they were killed because of herself.

"We found the murderer now. They could rest in peace now.” Anthony wiped her

tears away.

However, Anne knew that the murderer of her father was still very well alive.
