Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 65:

Holding the thin piece of paper, Kallie’s head spun. The world seemed surreal to her.

Kallie barely grasped what the doctor was saying next. “Based on her blood work, she’s been dealing with anemia and malnutrition, hasn’t she? She’s not fully recovered, and now with the baby, it’s pulling nutrients from her, which caused her to faint.”

It was not at a hospital affiliated with the Reeves Group. It appeared Gregory had taken Kallie to a facility where the Lyndon family had influence. The staff here were likely unaware of Steven or Jake.
