บท 155: Chapter 154: Awkward New Marriage (41)

Feeling nervous, she attempted to rise from the bathtub, then prepared to shower.

Unexpectedly, one of her legs suddenly cramped for no apparent reason, disrupting her attempt to leap up, and she plunged back into the bathtub with a splash.

The worst part was, her head also submerged under the water. Flustered, she finally managed to bring her head above water. With her leg still violently cramping, she couldn't help but let out a loud "ah!" as she screamed.

Qiao Chutian, who was reading outside, heard her scream and hurriedly threw down his book, rushing into the bathroom.

On the surface of the bathwater floated a dark shade of red blood...

Mai Xiaomai, disheveled and flailing like a drowning person, struggled inside the tub. Both her legs, out of the water, were convulsively twitching...

"Mai Xiaomai!"

The sight frightened Qiao Chutian so much his heart nearly leaped out. While calling out, he reached forward to lift her out of the tub.
