The Silent Wife

Chapter 142

Chapter 142

When the call was disconnected, Rachel’s body was trembling and she hurriedly tried to return the call. “Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable.”

She screamed at the wall and her hoarse voice echoed in the large living room as her brain buzzed. Justin…

Justin is now the only person who can save Grandma.

Without thinking, she ran out of the lobby of the hotel. There, she saw Justin entering a car at the entrance as soon as he exited the elevator. She quickly went after him, trying to call out to him, but no sound came out of her throat and she could only watch the black car drive away from the entrance. She chased after the car on foot, as if she could not feel the pain on her soles, while she desperately tried to catch up. Soon, the car stopped at a traffic light intersection, but when she was about to catch up, her knees weakened before her whole body fell forward toward the ground as her vision went dark.

As the intense pain from her knees spread throughout her body, she almost did not even have the strength to raise her head. All she could do was curl up on the side of the road like a dying shrimp. At this moment, passersby pointed at her and gossiped.

“What’s wrong with that woman?”

“I don’t know; should I call the police?”

“It’s a woman.”

“Is it a car accident? Why is she not even wearing shoes?”

Rachel’s head buzzed for a moment.

“President Burton, it’s her!” Frankie shouted sharply toward the back.
