Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 132:

“Kallie,” Brent began, a note of regret coloring his tone as he met Kallie’s eyes. “I’m truly sorry for asking you to come here. Work has just overwhelmed me lately, and it’s a particularly hectic period.”

Kallie dismissed his concern with a wave of her hand. She typed her response on her phone: “I visited Jerome earlier. He seemed a little off, but it wasn’t anything alarming. Probably just the stress setting in. A bit of rest might be all he needs to bounce back.”

Seeing her understanding, Brent’s expression eased into a genuine smile, softening his typically sharp features.

“Thank you.”

They stepped into a private hospital room.

Kallie posed her question on her phone: “Mr. Hayes, was there something specific you needed to talk about?”

Brent outlined the situation succinctly. The Hayes Group had experienced a mishap in which a shipment of goods was damaged in transit. The complication was pinpointing whether the fault lay with their transport or the third-party company responsible for the port’s export duties.

Kallie furrowed her brow, puzzled. She expressed her bafflement on the phone: “I’m not sure how I can be of help with this.”

Brent shifted uncomfortably. “We’ve had a longstanding relationship with the client. The shipment was crucial to him, and now that it’s compromised, he’s contemplating severing ties with us. He has a particular fondness for antiques. I’ve spent days locating a piece he’s long desired, but now it’s damaged. You’re the only restorer I trust to handle this.”

Kallie was taken aback to learn that this was the problem for which Brent sought her assistance. She then typed her reply on her phone softly: “This is what I do. Why call it a favor?”

Kallie couldn’t shake off a nagging suspicion, prompting her to text Irene. She sensed Brent had omitted important details and wasn’t fully transparent with her. Normally, she wouldn’t meddle in other people’s affairs, but her desire to help was genuine
