Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 118:

Rachel fumbled for words to form a retort.

It marked the first time Rachel had genuinely scrutinized Kallie.

Kallie’s eyes radiated honesty, making it hard to believe she could be deceitful.

Rachel acknowledged her previous judgments might have been too harsh, yet she couldn’t overlook that Sarah, her close friend, had been harmed by Kallie. That incident was swirling around the Internet, seemingly irrefutable.

With a furrowed brow, Rachel hesitated, her mind a whirl of conflicting thoughts. Perhaps Sarah had a point. Kallie’s outward innocence might mask a more sinister nature.

“Rachel,” Sarah interrupted, clutching her forehead as if gripped by a sudden pain.

Sarah grasped Rachel’s hand. “I’m really dizzy. Could you go to the hospital with me?”

Mentioning the so-called headache now served as Sarah’s calculated move to remind Rachel of her own suffering, allegedly caused by Kallie.

Rachel’s protective instincts flared, her gaze hardening as she glared at Kallie. “Forget it. Since those two pieces of clothing seem linked to you, you can keep them. Whether they belonged to my mom doesn’t matter to me.”

Her statement was essentially a subtle dig at Kallie.

Kallie, feeling a surge of embarrassment, bit her lip.

Before Sarah could pull Rachel away, Kallie made a sudden move, grasping Sarah’s wrist.

Caught off guard, Sarah nearly stumbled and lost her footing. Annoyed and embarrassed, she responded with a hint of sarcasm, “Kallie, what’s this about? You shoved me before, and now you’re at it again?”

Kallie quickly shook her head and replied with the text-to-speech function of her phone, “Your injury looks serious. You mentioned feeling dizzy. Could it be a concussion?”
