The Silent Wife

Chapter 116

Rachel’s heart tightened, and she instantly pressed her back against the wall.

Victor emerged from the shadows. Just then, an aged voice suddenly came from inside the alley. “Victor, is that you?”

Before Rachel could come to her senses, Victor had walked up to the person. “Why are you coming out by yourself, Grandma? How many times have I told you that it’s hard to see things clearly at night? What if you trip and fall again when you come out?”

Rachel followed the voices with her gaze and saw the innermost small house. The house was dimly lit, and an old woman was standing tremblingly at its door, supporting herself with a walking stick. Meanwhile, Victor addressed her as his grandmother.

The small house was in a dilapidated condition. It was in disrepair for years, and its walls were mottled; there wasn’t even a decent chair in the house. Victor pushed the clothes away from a corner on the sofa before taking off his jacket and spreading it over the surface. “I hope you won’t frown upon this, Miss Hudson. Please have a seat.”

Rachel looked at the old woman who was bustling around in the house.

Victor explained, “My Grandma is old, so she can neither see nor hear well. But for some reason, she can hear my voice.”

‘Are you and your Grandma the only ones in your family?’

“Yeah, I have lived with Grandma since I was a child.”

Rachel couldn’t bear to listen to such words. After all, she and Nancy had also depended on each other for

survival as she grew up.

Just then, Victor’s grandmother’s voice came from the room inside. “Victor, come and look for the tea caddy. We should pour a cup of tea for our visitor!”

Victor hurriedly went into the room. “Don’t trouble yourself with that, Grandma. We don’t have tea in the house…”
