Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 188:

The senior man’s mental state oscillated between clarity and confusion. In a particularly muddled moment, he stared at everything around him with a mix of blankness and irritation, making an attempt to remove his hearing aids.

The young man intervened swiftly, soothing the senior man with gentle persuasion until the senior found his peace.

With the young man’s assistance, the senior man exited the vehicle. As he steadied himself, a sudden spark of recognition lit his features. “I found your cousin. I found her,” he declared with certainty.

Surprised and tinged with excitement, the young man queried, “Really? Where did you see her?”

The senior man’s brow creased as he struggled to dredge up the memory. “She was at the spot where you picked me up. Remind me, who was she exactly? What was her name?”

Concerned that the strain of remembering might cause discomfort to his grandfather, the young man suggested a rest and turned his thoughts inward.

Despite his grandfather’s intermittent confusion, he seldom spoke without some underlying truth. The assertion he had made probably held some weight. Who could this woman be?

The young man’s thoughts raced to Sarah, the one responsible for his grandfather’s journey to Avalon. Given his grandfather’s resolute nature, few could influence him otherwise. It seemed plausible.

Resolved, the young man instructed urgently, “Go find out everything about Sarah. Arrange for her to meet me in three days.”

“Yes, sir.”

Despite Sarah’s failed attempt to ruin Kallie earlier, Sarah’s birthday celebration continued uninterrupted.

At the party, Sarah performed an elaborate apology to Kallie, her face awash with feigned remorse.

Kallie wasn’t fooled. She sensed that Sarah’s apology was merely a tactic to make her stay.

Then, Sarah presented a gift that Jake had given her. It was a blue crystal necklace.
