CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 Suicide 

As the cold water kept getting into her nose and throat, Lilian felt choked, and her lungs hurt so much. 

Lilian instinctively struggled in the water with her hands and feet and splashed the water in the bathtub all over the floor. 

After a few struggles, Francis grabbed her by the collar and pulled her out. 

Lilian breathed in the air desperately and spat out a lot of water from her mouth and nose. 

"Tell me, were you voluntary?" Francis asked it again. 

Lilian opened her eyes. Water kept flowing down from her head and blocking her view. 

She tried to see Francis' face but failed. 

"Were you voluntary?" He asked again. 

Lilian still nodded. 

As expected, Francis pressed her into the water again. 

Lilian didn't struggle this time. She lay in the water, letting the cold water drown her, and her hands hung down in the water weakly. 

She had never been brave enough to face death. Now Francis helped her. 

Death was not bad. It was a relief. 

As long as she died, no one would be implicated by her, and Lilian herself would be in no pain. 

A woman like her should have died a long time ago. 

Lilian closed her eyes, and memories over the years flashed across her mind little by little. She felt suffocated and started to lose her consciousness. 

Just then, Francis pulled her out again. As her chest was squeezed, she spat out a lot of water. 

Francis let her go. 

Lilian lay prone on the bathtub and coughed desperately. She was dripping water from head to toe. Water dropped down her sleeves and onto the floor. 

Francis was also wet. The water spitted out when Lilian struggled had stained his clothes. 

Francis took off his coat and threw it on the ground. 

He squatted down in front of Lilian and raised her chin. "Now tell me, were you voluntary?" 

Lilian forced a smile. She tried to laugh but failed after many attempts. 

Why did he care so much about her willingness?
