Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 25:

Kallie was visibly shocked, her eyes wide as she stared at Jake.

“Kallie just got out of the hospital today, and we thought a spa day would be nice. Is there a problem with that? Didn’t expect to get bullied by a home-wrecker here!” Linsey rose to her feet, her eyes blazing with anger.

“Mr. Reeves, that’s not accurate! She was the one who came at us first, criticizing us the moment she walked through the door!” Sarah’s friend snapped back.

However, Jake walked directly toward Kallie, seemingly oblivious to others. “Why were you discharged today?”

Kallie gestured quickly, saying she healed faster than expected and Dr. Hudson had granted her discharge from the hospital.

“If you’re well enough to leave the hospital, why come here instead of going home?” Jake took Kallie by the hand. “Come with me.”

The room fell silent. No one anticipated Jake’s reaction, least of all Kallie, who after a moment of stunned silence, instinctively glanced at Linsey.

“Uh, it’s alright. We can always come back another day for the spa. You should head home and rest for now,” Linsey suggested quickly. Her words seemed like the perfect counter to Sarah’s earlier actions.

With a smug look directed at Sarah, Linsey added, “Enjoy your spa day! Really indulge in that luxurious hot spring pool. Maybe it can help wash off that unpleasant odor you’re carrying!”

Sarah’s frustration was palpable, her nails dug into her palms. However, she managed to maintain a facade of composure in front of Jake, offering him only a look of subdued appeal. “Jake…”

“You go and enjoy yourself with your friend,” Jake replied as he led Kallie away, though not without offering a comforting word to Sarah. “We’ll talk tonight.”
