The news was so terrifying that it filled Adriana with despair. She didn’t dare to take another step forward. Her only hope rested on Jean. She hoped to hear words of hope from him. 

Jean’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and his voice was hoarse to the point of being unrecognizable as if he was speaking with a mouthful of sand. “She’s still alive. Is the doctor here yet?” 

Upon hearing those words, Adriana suddenly burst into tears, unable to utter a single word. 

Chad was also terrified, his eyes filled with heartache. He quickly nodded in agreement. “They’re here, waiting 

inside.” 

Jean subtly nodded, holding Neera in his arms, and strode in. 

When the doctor saw Neera’s terrible condition, he was genuinely taken aback. “Ms. Garcia, she’s…” 

Jean spoke in a cold voice. “She has fainted, her body is trembling, and her body temperature is very low.” 

As he spoke, he gently laid Neera on the bed. 

The bedroom remained exactly as it was when Neera left. However, the person in the bedroom was no longer the same as before she left. 

The doctor didn’t dare to slack off and promptly conducted a preliminary examination. 

When her temperature was taken, the doctor’s brow furrowed. His expression was very serious. “Ms. Garcia’s body temperature is significantly below normal. We must warm her up as quickly as possible, otherwise the situation could be dire.” 

Upon hearing that, lan immediately turned on the air conditioning in the room and increased the temperature. At the same time, he said, “I’ll go find some hot water bags.” 

After speaking, he quickly left the room and descended the stairs. 

The doctor looked at her drenched clothes and said, “Just doing this won’t be enough. We need to change Ms. Garcia’s clothes first and dry her off. Otherwise, she’ll only get colder.” 

At that moment, Adriana also came in. Hearing that, she immediately volunteered, “I’ll do it.” 

However, Jean said, “Let me do it.” 

Without delay, he scooped up Neera and carried her into the bathroom. 

As he filled the bathtub with hot water, he couldn’t help but recall the moment when he kicked open the warehouse door and what he saw inside. 

On the first floor, there was a bathtub. Inside it were floating ice cubes, not yet fully melted. One of Neera’s shoes was still submerged at the bottom of the tub. 

At the railing of the second floor, a slender figure leaned, with more than half of her body exposed, teetering on the edge of danger. 

It was as if a gentle breeze could make her fall at any moment. 

At that moment, he felt as if his breath was about to stop. His heart seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, almost crushed. The pain was so intense that he couldn’t help but shudder slightly.

The moment he pulled the trigger, his eyes were filled with malevolence, radiating a bloodthirsty gleam. 

However, looking back, he felt that doing so had really let that crew-cut man off too easily. 

Back then, he shouldn’t have acted impulsively. Instead, he should have spared that man’s worthless life. 

He should thoroughly torment the crew-cut man, let the latter taste what it was like to be in extreme pain. 

Lost in thought, his eyes filled once again with a deep crimson. The bloodshot corners of his eyes looked somewhat terrifying, a hint of malevolence subtly dancing across his brow. 

It was Neera’s soft whimper that pulled his thoughts back from the brink of fury. 

“Neera? Are you awake?” He quickly turned around, lifting Neera from the chaise lounge.

However, Neera had her eyes tightly shut. Her brows furrowed deeply as if she was in great pain yet unable to wake up. 

The bathtub gradually filled with hot water, and the steamy heat permeated the entire bathroom. 

Jean was drenched in a thin layer of sweat due to the intense heat. 

Yet, he couldn’t care about anything else. He scooped up Neera sideways and gently placed her into the bathtub.. 

As the hot water filled up around Neera’s body, she seemed to sense something. In her unconscious state, she restlessly shifted, seemingly resisting. 

Jean’s heart ached terribly. With a hoarse voice, he gently stroked her face, comforting her. “Don’t be afraid, Neera. It’s just hot water. Don’t fear. I’m by your side. No one can hurt you anymore.” 

In her unconscious state, Neera seemed to hear his gentle voice. Gradually, her brows unfurled, and her body began to relax. 

Next, Jean carefully undressed her. 

The marks of the beatings she had received gradually appeared before his, eyes, grotesquely vivid. 

When Jean saw the crisscrossing scratch marks, he was first taken aback. Then, a fierce and ruthless aura suddenly erupted from his eyes. His entire aura instantly became terrifying, as if it wanted to deyour everything and destroy the world! 

He had noticed the scars on Neera’s body, but he never imagined there would be so many! 

He simply couldn’t fathom how Neera managed to endure so many beatings! 

She was so delicate, her skin so tender, yet she became like that. 

He wondered what kind of inhuman torment could have left so many shocking scars on her body. 

In an instant, Jean clenched his teeth tightly, his large hand forcefully forming a fist. It trembled slightly, the bones of his knuckles cracking as if they were about to be crushed.
