Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

As the car came to a halt, Edgar announced, “Mr. Reeves, we’ve reached the hospital.”

Jake acknowledged with a nod and snapped his notebook shut.

Melinda felt unfairly accused. “I’ve been urging you to go home. You’re the one clinging to your reputation, refusing to leave. Just remember, if you’re caught fooling around in the hospital, don’t expect me to support you.”

Dean’s expression remained detached. “You can’t bear me a son, so what’s wrong with me being with other women? I’m not worried about getting caught. If my affairs become public, you’re the one who should feel ashamed, not me.”
