Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 136:

Kallie and Jake arrived at the hospital quickly, where the doctor efficiently treated Kallie’s injury.

Though it appeared severe, it was merely a superficial cut, typical for children with limited strength.

Throughout the treatment, Kallie, who dreaded pain, wore a constant frown.

Nearby, Jake waited patiently to discuss any necessary follow-up care with the doctor.

Once the doctor left, Jake walked over to Kallie. He gazed down at her, his dark eyes swirling with a blend of emotions.

“I never thought you’d go to such lengths for the Hayes family, especially for Brent,” he said.

Kallie caught the subtle accusation in his tone but avoided eye contact, signing dismissively that he was mistaken. She explained that Jerome had treated her well, and it was only right that she helped solve the problem.

Jake opened his mouth as though he was about to say something but then chose silence.

An awkward quiet settled between them for a moment.

Gradually, Kallie began to feel the pain in her leg subside. She stood up, turning to Jake with a nod of gratitude. She gestured her thanks for his intervention and timely help, though she remained oblivious to the reason behind it.

Then, Kallie pointed at the door, signing that she was leaving now.

Just as Kallie started to leave, Jake reached out, stopping her with a hand on her shoulder. His voice carried a complex mix of feelings as he spoke, “Kallie, this is my last chance for you. Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
