Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 159:

A worried voice echoed from the other end of the phone. “Mr. Hayes, it seems we’re out of options. This boy is too sharp. He figured out something was amiss and took off. Going after his mother could backfire in ways we can’t predict.”

Brent’s hands tightened into fists, his eyes shimmering with a frosty glare. “I’ve been cast as the villain by everyone. My reputation no longer matters to me. Set it up. I need to have a serious conversation with him.”

As Brent ended the call, an urgent update came from the hospital. “Mr. Hayes, good news, Jerome has woken up.”

At that moment, Brent’s concerns vanished. He floored the accelerator and sped toward the hospital.

Before Brent even reached Jerome’s ward, the all-too-familiar, grating sound of weeping reached his ears.

Sophia was saying emotionally, “Dad, I was terrified while you were out. I promise never to be disobedient and wander off again. I’ve brought Boris back with me. He’ll look after you.”

Brent, his expression unyielding, swung the ward door open. He saw Sophia clutching Jerome’s hand, her tears flowing freely. Yet, to Brent, Sophia’s sorrow seemed tinged with insincerity.

Jerome appeared frail, a stark contrast to his previous vitality. He feebly extended his hand toward Sophia, his eyes lighting up slightly. “Sophia.”

Tears welled up in Jerome’s eyes. After all, Sophia was his only daughter, despite their past misunderstandings.

With age, the importance of family bonds and the joy of kinship often became more apparent.

Sophia, agitated, affectionately called Jerome “daddy.”

For a moment, Brent questioned whether his recollection of Sophia, who had bitterly denounced Jerome over her husband, was merely an illusion.
