Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 202:

Jake couldn’t shake off the nagging suspicion that there was more to it than met the eye. Why had he ended up at Kallie’s place out of the blue? It was possible he had forgotten some events.

This thought sent a chill down Jake’s spine. For him, the events during the time he couldn’t remember seemed insignificant now. The real issue was the medication he had been given, which was causing more than just severe headaches. The possibility that it might impair his memory and disrupt his need for constant clarity terrified him.

“Edgar!” Jake called out loudly.

Edgar hurried into the room, concerned. “Mr. Reeves, what’s wrong?”

Jake’s face was stern. “How many days of memories have I lost?”

Edgar responded cautiously, “At least three days, sir.”

Jake’s hand clamped down on the railing, his grip tightening so much that the veins in his forearm stood out. Taking a deep breath, Jake realized he needed to alter his plans.

“Bring Kallie back. Make sure our people keep a close eye on her, ensuring her safety. If it becomes necessary, send her away at the crucial moment, to a place even I can’t track,” Jake ordered. “Reach out to top specialists in brain injuries from abroad. We can’t let this illness linger any longer.”

Edgar let out a weary sigh. Jake had initially planned to endure the situation. Lately, they had been amassing more and more evidence. Yet, despite all their efforts, the mastermind remained elusive.

Realizing that the situation had spiraled out of his control, Jake made a decisive move.

As Kallie exited the Hayes Group building after her workday, she spotted a familiar car in the parking lot, surrounded by recognizable faces—all of them Jake’s people.

The car sat silently beside Kallie, almost as if it feared she might miss it and walk away. Kallie inhaled deeply, approached the car, and tapped on the window.
