Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 187:

The couple exchanged looks, realizing that Sarah had deserted them. Left with no other option, they made their way out under the disapproving and inquisitive stares of the gathered crowd.

Once Sarah had exited, the throng of people within the house slowly dissipated, trailing after her.

It was only then that Kallie allowed herself a moment of relief. She exhaled deeply, composed herself, and straightened her clothes.

Walking toward the door, Kallie paused to bow respectfully to the senior man. Her eyes conveyed deep gratitude as she made gestures of thanks, acknowledging his timely help.

The senior man simply waved it off. “I simply spoke the truth. It wasn’t much of a help, really. Besides, you helped me once when I was in a bind, so it was only right that I stand up for you in your moment of need.”

The senior man then nudged the child toward Kallie.

“I’ll leave him to you.”

The child stood timidly before Kallie, his head bowed, too frightened to meet her gaze.

Despite being deceived by the boy previously, Kallie’s heart softened toward him upon seeing his distress.

She squatted down to his level, typed a message on her phone, then played the text aloud with the text-to-speech function to reassure him. “I know you’re young and might not fully understand the consequences of your actions. I won’t hold this against you.”

The child tentatively lifted his eyes, his voice quivering as he asked, “Really? You’re not going to hand me over to the police?”

Kallie shook her head, a gesture of her sincere forgiveness.

As she did so, she studied the boy more closely, her look thoughtful. Despite wearing a suit meant for a child, it hung awkwardly on him, revealing threadbare clothes beneath.

Kallie surmised that neither the couple who had argued earlier nor the individuals who later accused her of cheating were the boy’s actual parents. It seemed likely that he was merely a destitute child whom Sarah had coaxed into playing a part, perhaps promising him some basic necessities in return for his cooperation.
