Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 104:

Jake evaded Kallie’s question with an icy demeanor.

Instead, he said, “Why won’t you visit the hospital? Do you realize Sarah is suffering from a severe wound? She’s got a huge scar stitched across her forehead. The doctor warned it might be permanent. Imagine how she must feel.”

Kallie sensed the accusation in Jake’s gaze, struggling to hold back her tears. She gestured with trembling hands that she didn’t mind Jake showing concern for Sarah, but requested to leave her out of it since she was not to blame.

Jake let out a dry chuckle, tinged with annoyance. “Do I need to spell it out for you, Kallie? Why are you so quick to defend Ethan? It makes me question what’s really going on between you two.”

Kallie felt her heart shatter. She firmly explained that her relationship with Ethan was none of his business, emphasizing there was nothing going on between her and Ethan, and neither of them would offer an apology over an incident irrelevant to them.

“Oh?” The word escaped Jake’s lips sharply, tightening his features in displeasure.

He stormed off after giving Kallie a parting warning: “This is your choice. Make sure you don’t regret it later!”

As the door slammed shut, a chill ran through Kallie’s heart. With Jake gone, she no longer felt the need to pretend to be strong. Tears streamed down her cheeks freely.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally and warned herself not to have any illusions about Jake, the pain was still sharp when the moment arrived.

Meanwhile, Jake sat in his car, his expression stern.

Edgar, who was at the wheel, kept silent, not daring to speak.

Jake lit a cigarette, his gaze turning frostier with each puff as he released what seemed like pent-up fury. His forearms tensed, veins standing out as he struggled to contain his rage, like a caged beast on the brink of eruption.

Suddenly, Jake’s phone buzzed. He cast a brief glance at it and then dismissively hung up without a word.

It was a call from the Miller family.
