Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 124:

Kallie was cheerfully heading home, blissfully unaware of the online storm she was about to unleash.

Under Molly’s expert guidance, Kallie swiftly finished mending Rachel’s mother’s clothes.

As Kallie gathered her things to leave the room, a wave of dizziness struck her, almost causing her to stumble.

She paused, supporting herself against the sofa, and touched her still-flat belly.

It occurred to Kallie that she often became too engrossed in her work and neglected to eat. Skipping meals was one thing for her, but not for the baby growing inside her.

She made a silent apology to her belly, her heart twinging with regret. Her unborn child might never hear her voice, much less learn to speak from her.

Yet, the sadness was fleeting. Kallie went online, found some nutritious pregnancy recipes, and headed out to buy groceries.

She was now living in the home Jerome had arranged for her.

Wandering the supermarket aisles, focused on her shopping list, Kallie was startled by a child charging her way.

Kallie instinctively shielded her belly. Preoccupied with her own condition, she hadn’t noticed the child.

The child tumbled to the ground and burst into tears.

Kallie, visibly upset, cast a disapproving glance at the young boy throwing a tantrum on the floor. He looked to be about seven or eight, solidly built. Luckily, the collision was minor. A more serious one could have landed her in the hospital.

The child’s cries were sharp and contagious, drawing a crowd.
