Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 196:

Jerome understood Jake’s meaningful look and coughed in Brent’s direction. “Tell the police to leave. Let them know nothing is happening here. We will take our leave.”

Brent grew visibly anxious. “Grandpa, Kallie’s hurt like this. Aren’t we going to do something?”

Jerome looked at Kallie with a mix of guilt and concern. “It’s not that we do nothing. It’s just not the right time. We will talk about it when we get back.”

Kallie smiled reassuringly at Jerome, signaling her understanding and trust in his judgment. Jerome was no fool. It seemed Jake had presented something advantageous to the Hayes family, something Jerome couldn’t easily refuse, or perhaps Jake had uncovered something that could potentially threaten Brent.

Involving the Hayes family in her own troubles already filled Kallie with regret.

Kallie gently pulled at Brent’s sleeve, trying to calm his anger. She gestured that Jerome must have his own reasons and considerations, and expressed her desire to leave as the day’s events had really exhausted her. Expressing her gratitude for their standing up for her, she suggested Brent take Jerome for a checkup since Jerome seemed unwell.

Brent, silent in the face of Kallie’s persistence, chose not to say anything further.

Before leaving, Brent shot a disapproving glance at Sarah. Leaning close to Kallie, he whispered, “Sarah’s plans have backfired twice now. She is desperate and might try to do something to you again. Please be extra careful.”

Kallie gave a faint smile. She appreciated his concern for her well-being.

As the Hayes family departed with Kallie, Jake’s eyes followed them intently.

Beside Jake, Sarah was still fuming. “Jake, why did you let Kallie go so easily? Look at what she did to me.” Sarah pointed at the faint red marks on her wrist, her voice thick with frustration.

Jake finally glanced at her, his patience wearing thin. “You have caused all this trouble. I managed to convince them not to hold you accountable. What more do you want?”
