Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 32:

Kallie’s fingers were long, slender, and delicate—a sight to behold even when idle. Now, as she wielded black tweezers to manipulate the fragments of a red vase, the vivid contrast highlighted the stunning beauty of her hands.

Initially, everyone was captivated by the vase Kallie was meticulously piecing together. However, their attention soon drifted to her elegant hands. These gazes didn’t disturb Kallie in the slightest. Though slightly nervous at first, her passion for restoring artifacts quickly enveloped her, shielding her from the outside world.

The task was akin to solving a complex jigsaw puzzle but far more intricate. Kallie’s methodical approach to picking up each shard, sorting them effortlessly into categories, was remarkable.

Her speed and precision left the onlookers, including Gregory—who had been skeptical at first—utterly amazed. His initial disbelief soon morphed into open admiration as Kallie progressed.

When the timer signaled twenty minutes, Kallie had already reconstructed half of the vase. The sections she completed—the base and the framework—began to outline the vase’s original form. It seemed highly possible she might finish the entire restoration in under another twenty minutes.

“How did you manage to do that?” Gregory couldn’t contain his astonishment.

Standing up, Kallie offered him a warm smile and explained using sign language that having the photo for reference made the task simpler. Unlike working with real artifacts, where one didn’t have a reference and had to carefully deduce the original design before starting, this task was easier.

After Kallie finished her explanation, the room fell into an even deeper silence. The other apprentices realized how much they had struggled despite having the same advantage—a photo. Their progress paled compared to Kallie’s. But for her, the task was a piece of cake.

“Now you all witness her skills firsthand!” Hayden eagerly commented on his phone before showing the screen to the other apprentices, radiating pride.
