Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 148:

Kallie zoomed in on the photos.

The pictures captured Jake and Sarah engaged in a romantic candlelit dinner.

They hadn’t opted for a secluded room. Instead, they selected a location beside the ocean. It appeared they were unconcerned about secrecy.

In the photos, Sarah was playfully feeding Jake, while Jake carefully peeled shrimp for her.

They exuded the aura of a real couple, radiating a love so profound it could spark envy in others.

Kallie wanted to explain to Brent that this was not the cause of her hesitation, yet she found herself fixated on Jake’s image in the photos for an extended period. She endeavored to memorize his features, aware she might never encounter him again.

Kallie resolved to leave. She planned to distance herself far from the Hayes family, to avoid causing any disturbances. Even if tragedy befell her unborn baby, she was prepared to face life on her own.

After making up her mind, Kallie sent a text to Brent. “I’ll come with you.”

Brent’s face lit up with a smile as he read the message.

Thirty minutes later, Kallie was safely seated in the car parked outside the hospital.

The moment Brent turned on the ignition, the situation seemed surreal to Kallie. She was finally free from her nightmare.

At the same time, Melinda received word that Jake had come to the hospital to visit Kallie.

Unable to sleep and filled with concern, Melinda hurried to the hospital.

Although she was aware that Kallie was pregnant, she kept this information to herself and even forced the primary doctor to persuade Kallie to consider an abortion, driven by a personal vendetta and other motives.
