Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 111:

Hazel trembled, her fear of Jake’s imposing presence palpable. She glared at Sarah’s smug expression, ready to speak, but before she could, Kallie stepped in front of her, gesturing firmly that she had seen Hazel being pushed down.

It was all very chaotic, and the involved individuals might not have realized what had happened. She added that she caught sight of Sarah and Hazel arguing on the stairs, and the next thing, Hazel was tumbling down.

Jake’s face twisted into a frown, a hint of disapproval etching his features. “So, you’re not even sure of what exactly happened, and you jumped to the conclusion that Sarah pushed her? Kallie, since when did you start jumping to conclusions?”

Sarah blinked, the picture of innocence and sorrow, as she clung to Jake, stirring the pot. “Jake, without your intervention, I would’ve been wrongly accused today. I’ve suffered enough already in front of Kallie. What more does she want from me?”

Jake ignored Sarah, his eyes icy as they met Kallie’s. Kallie lifted her chin defiantly, holding Jake’s gaze. She opted against using sign language, choosing to let her phone articulate her response just for Sarah to hear: “I did it intentionally. I wanted to make a point. Now you see, not everything you hear is true. Sarah was quick to blame Ethan and me for pushing her down, and you believed it without question. Why then, when Hazel and I accuse Sarah, do you hesitate?”

Jake grasped the meaning behind Kallie’s words. Sarah’s smile slowly vanished. Visibly irritated, she murmured, “This isn’t the same thing.”

Despite her words, Sarah found herself studying Jake’s face. She hadn’t anticipated a response from him.

Jake stated, “Having known Sarah for so long, I can tell when she’s not being truthful. There was no need for such a blunt reminder.”

Kallie’s face lost color. Was this what trust looked like? Had he ever trusted her like that? She soon felt it was ridiculous to even have such a question in her mind.

Kallie retorted, her phone voicing her response via the text-to-speech function: “It was impossible that Hazel just fell down the stairs since neither Hazel nor I meant for it to happen. You really should ask Sarah about what happened. After all, she’s been targeting Hazel, all because of me.”
