Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 249:

After the initial shock, Ewing responded with unexpected composure, “In the Nixon family, the only ones who recall what our aunt looked like are our grandpa and the older generation. I caught only a glimpse of her as a child, and you’ve never seen her at all. We don’t even have photos of her or her child in the house.
