Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 160:

Sophia’s interest was immediately piqued. “Really? That’s fantastic! Who is it?”

Boris, however, didn’t elaborate. “It doesn’t matter who it is. Look, I’ve got things to handle, I need to go.”

With that, Boris ended the call abruptly. After disconnecting, he threw his umbrella to the side with a decisive motion. Choosing instead to face the pouring rain, Boris knelt outside Jake’s opulent villa.

A security guard, spotting Boris, quickly approached him. “Sir, may I help you with something? If you’re here to see Mr. Reeves, it’s best to schedule an appointment. If you insist on kneeling here and won’t leave, I’m afraid I’ll have to call the police.”

Boris appeared drained and vulnerable. “I’m in a dire situation and need to see Mr. Reeves right away,” Boris pleaded desperately. “Please, help me get a message to him. Tell him Boris from the Hayes family is here. I just need a moment of his time for an answer, and then I’ll leave immediately.”

With little option, the guard reluctantly used his walkie-talkie to contact a servant inside the villa. After a brief wait, the response came back, Jake’s voice crackled through the speaker dismissively, “If he likes kneeling so much, then let him be.”

Boris’ complexion turned ashen. He wanted to protest and ask if Jake didn’t care about the public’s opinion of a man kneeling outside his villa. But, he refrained from doing so, biting his lip and enduring the humiliation.

Boris reasoned that the fact that he wasn’t outright rejected meant he still had a chance. He knew he had to endure this treatment since cooperating with Jake was his only option left; otherwise, given what he had done, he would be as easily disposed of as an ant in Brent’s presence.

Meanwhile, after sorting out her things, Kallie was overwhelmed by fatigue and longed for sleep. Just as she was about to drift off, a knock at her door jolted her awake. “Madam, may I enter? I’ve prepared some nutritional soup for you, which is excellent for the baby.”

The mere mention of “baby” from others startled Kallie, sending a jolt of anxiety through her. She recalled the ordeal the primary doctor had caused her, claiming care for the baby while his actions suggested otherwise.

Opting to ignore the interruption, Kallie pulled the blanket over her head and pretended to be asleep. Then, the tone at the door softened. “Kallie, it’s Hazel speaking. Surely you remember me?”
