Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 146:

Kallie texted Brent: “But then it dawned on me. I no longer have to run away. I’m alright now. Everything’s okay.”

Brent immediately picked up on the underlying distress in Kallie’s words and quickly responded, “Kallie, what’s going on? What happened?”

Kallie nearly broke down, but she managed to suppress her tears and typed with effort: “I’m fine, just exhausted and in need of some rest. I don’t want to be a burden, Mr. Hayes. I know you have a lot on your plate, so please, don’t spend your time worrying about me.”

After sending the text, Kallie shut off her phone. She curled up, her face hidden in her knees, engulfed by a sense of helplessness. Even her sobs were silent.

Kallie despised her own vulnerability but felt trapped, resolved not to involve anyone else in her troubles.

Now that the troublemakers were out of the picture, Jake experienced a small relief.

Edgar, noticing Jake’s recent concerns, suggested, “Mr. Reeves, the doctors have reported significant improvement in Kallie’s health. Perhaps a visit to the hospital might be good for both of you.”

Jake massaged his temples, his eyes closed, and he responded without hesitation, “She doesn’t want to see me at all. Why should I bother visiting her? Look, it’s been days. Has she even once asked to see me?”

In fact, Kallie had, just a few days ago.

Jake had carved out time to visit the hospital, only to end up being stood up for reasons unknown to him.

At times, Jake wondered if his leniency with Kallie made her believe he was always at her disposal.

Edgar cleared his throat, breaking the silence. “I think there might be a misunderstanding between you two. From Kallie’s perspective, it seems like she’s isolated in the hospital. The nurse mentioned she’s been staring out the window, looking quite despondent.”

Jake’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Edgar. “Others might be in the dark, but you know the real reason.”
