Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 263:

While Dean created a commotion in the corridor, Jake paid him no mind.

Seated by Shirley’s bedside, Jake gazed at her with deep concern. “Mom?” he called out softly, his voice barely above a whisper.

Hearing his voice, Shirley turned her head slowly, her voice seemingly weak as she whispered, “Why are you here? Looking forward to my end?”

Jake was unfazed by her response, showing no hint of anger. Instead, he replied softly, “You still have some fight in you and strength to scold me, which means you’re not as feeble as the doctor suggested. Let me guess. You were able to move around recently, but Dean lied, claiming you had been in a coma after the so-called accident.”

A flicker of guilt crossed Shirley’s face as she listened to Jake’s words. But it vanished almost immediately. With a stern expression, she said, “Dean’s lie was motivated by his concern. He wanted you to come to the hospital and visit me, but you were so cold-hearted that you refused to come until today. How could you forsake your own mother for the sake of a woman, Jake? Remember, it’s me who gave you everything.”

Getting carried away by Jake’s provocation, Shirley questioned Jake with a fiery edge, a sharp contrast to her earlier weak performance.

Jake did not doubt if Shirley had the energy, she would sit upright in bed, pointing an accusing finger at him while letting loose a torrent of reprimands.

Jake gazed intently into Shirley’s eyes, finding his mom unfamiliar, almost like a stranger to him.

Jake continued, “Dean also advised me against visiting you at the hospital. He feared that if I upset you, it might hinder your recovery.”
