Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1043

But Winnie had no time to pay attention to any of that. She searched the entire house and finally, on the second floor, heard water running in the master bedroom bathroom.

The door was tightly shut. From outside, she could see that the light was on, and the shower was running at full force.

Winnie knocked hard and called Michael's name several times, but there was no response at all.

"Michael, where were you? You didn't come home all night. Do you know how worried I was?"

Now that the tension in her chest had eased, anger surged up in its place.

But no matter how hard she knocked, Michael showed no intention of opening the door.

The sound of running water remained constant and heavy.

After waiting a long time, Winnie finally couldn't hold back and tried to force the door open, but it was locked from the inside.

At that moment, Charlotte also came upstairs. Seeing the scene, she was slightly startled.

"What happened to Michael?"

"I don't know. He locked himself in the bathroom."

"Maybe he's just taking a shower… Let's wait a bit—"

Charlotte tried to calm her. She also mentioned that Michael might have encountered something earlier—his clothes had been extremely dirty, as if he had been robbed.

Hearing this, Winnie grew even more anxious. She slammed harder and harder on the door. But no matter how much noise she made, the water inside never stopped.

Charlotte went to get the keys after asking around, but Winnie couldn't wait any longer. She kicked the door forcefully several times—and it finally broke open.

The moment she saw the scene inside the bathroom, her heart nearly stopped.

"Michael!!!"

Halfway down the stairs, Charlotte heard Winnie's piercing scream, and her heart jolted violently.

"Winnie, what happened?!"

"Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance!"

By the time Charlotte rushed to the bathroom door, she saw Winnie already stumbling forward and collapsing beside the bathtub.
