Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 144:

The chatter inside the doctor’s office had begun to die down. It appeared Jake was about to emerge.

Kallie suddenly straightened up, signaling to the caregiver that she felt unwell and wished to return to her ward.

Kallie’s faintly pale complexion lent credence to her words.

The caregiver paused, momentarily uncertain. His instructions were to put Kallie’s health first, above all else. “Alright, I’ll take you back,” he replied, motioning for Kallie to go ahead.

Thus, when Jake completed his tasks and stepped out, he was greeted by an empty corridor. With a frown, he turned to Edgar beside him. “Find out what happened.”

Edgar quickly uncovered the truth. “They said your wife was feeling ill and had gone back to rest. She’s asked to reschedule the meeting.”

Jake laughed softly. “One moment she’s eager to meet, the next she’s not.”

Edgar said tentatively, “Perhaps she genuinely isn’t well. Since we’re already here, should we visit her?”

Jake’s face grew stern. “What’s there to check? You don’t understand. It’s clear she doesn’t want to see me right now.”

Jake massaged his throbbing forehead and swiftly shifted the conversation. “Could you explain things to that employee for me? I was too overwhelmed in the office earlier with the doctor. Just let her know I blame her for concealing her pregnancy to get the job. But if she decides to stay, I’ll be forced to consider other options.”

“Understood,” Edgar replied with a nod.
