CHEOL’s POV
I rushed towards Stella and sank to my knees. My eyes widened at the sight of her.
I was trying to comprehend the scene I was witnessing.
Stella was slumped in the corner all beaten. Her face was swollen and pale. Her lip was cut. I saw blood that was getting washed away by the water but had stained her clothes.
“Stella?” I breathed out. I reached out to touch her but quickly realized the water was ice cold. I looked up and saw that the tap was set to a warm temperature. I thought all the hot water had run out of the system and was now replaced by cool water.
I reached over her and turned the shower off. Stella didn’t move an inch. Her eyelids were half-open but she wasn’t there. Her skin, where it wasn’t bruised was pale.
