Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 198:

“I need some rest now. Please, you’ll have to leave,” Jake said, his voice carrying a weight of weariness.

Sarah nodded, her concern etched clearly on her face. “Of course, Jake. Just remember, if anything comes up, the hospital staff can reach me anytime. Please, take care,” she urged softly before exiting.

As soon as Sarah was out of sight, the gentle facade in Jake’s eyes dissolved into a piercing chill.

Jake quickly retrieved his phone and made a call to Edgar. “Find the doctor who previously handled Kallie’s case. I need to speak with him privately. Make sure it’s discreet.”

Simultaneously, Kallie made her way into the grand Hayes family estate, accompanied by Boris and other members of the Hayes family.

This time, as Boris walked through the doors of the Hayes family estate, his usual air of complacency was absent. Instead, his face bore the marks of defeat, and his head was bowed low.

Turning around to face Kallie, Brent said sincerely, “I really shouldn’t have let you witness such a scene, but given that Boris and his mother had schemed against you for their own gains, I believe you deserve to see him and his mother face the music. Kallie, I’m sorry for making you go through today’s ordeals. The Hayes family should have noticed their schemes and intervened earlier.”

Kallie responded with a gentle shake of her head and a reassuring smile. She gestured that she understood the wrongdoings conducted by Boris and Sophia had nothing to do with the Hayes family.

Brent returned her smile, a silent acknowledgment passing between them, a mutual understanding that no further words were needed to explain the sentiments shared.

Jerome’s hands trembled slightly as he lifted himself out of the wheelchair and took his place in the main seat of the room.

Upon witnessing this, Boris and Sophia, who were forced to kneel, turned ghostly pale with shock.

Sophia, unable to contain her astonishment, burst out. “You are not sick at all! Have you been pretending all this time?”

Jerome regarded Boris and Sophia with an indifferent gaze. However, beneath his icy facade, a faint trace of sadness lingered in his eyes.
