The Silent Wife

Chapter 223

Justin said, “I told you she isn’t home, Charlotte. She must have headed out for some business. Let’s go home.”

“That’s impossible! It’s the weekend!”

“But there’s nobody here, and there’s no way for us to enter.”

“I have the password, though!”

As the little girl spoke, she pulled the door knob and keyed in the password.

Before Justin came to his senses, the door let out a beep and opened.

“How do you know the password, Charlotte?”

“Samuel told me about it. It’s the sum of our birthdays.”

Upon entering the door, the girl called out, “Mommy!”

The bedroom door was barely cracked open, and a dim, amber light shone from the other side. After pacing toward the room, Justin pushed the door open and saw a woman lying on the bed.

We’ve been making so much noise, yet there’s not even a single reaction from her. Is she really sick?

Meanwhile, Charlotte rushed over as well and made her way through under his arm, her feet pattering toward the bed. She lifted Rachel’s hand gently, but before she could yell her mother’s name, she uttered in surprise, “So hot!”

The stupefied Justin hurried over without pondering much.

Beside Rachel’s pillow was a fallen ice pack, and no one knew who had prepared it for her.

Justin quickly reached his hand out and placed it on her forehead. He was shocked upon the scorching heat at a gentle touch. Clearly, it was a grave, high fever. She seemed fine yesterday, though. Why has it become so serious?

“What’s wrong with Mommy, Daddy?”

“We’re going to the hospital, Charlotte. Tell your uncle we’ll arrive at once.”

Having said that, he picked Rachel up horizontally from the bed and stormed out the door.
