Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 221:

Kallie jumped to her feet, alarmed. Her gaze shifted fearfully toward the consulting room as her hands began to perspire.

Luckily, the doctor shook his head dismissively. “She’s had an abortion previously. Another termination could trivialize the issue of conceiving again. More importantly, it could have serious health repercussions, weakening her body significantly. I would advise against an abortion if you want her to remain healthy.”

Unsure of when he had arrived or what he had overheard, the assistant quickly masked her shock with a flawless smile. “Miss Nixon is quite well. It’s one of her servants who’s unwell and came here for a consultation. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Nixon.”

Ewing adjusted his glasses, his handsome features marred by a flicker of suspicion. “Am I intimidating? Why won’t you look at me?” he asked Kallie.

Kallie bowed her head even lower.
