Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 468:

Reflecting on the hardship she and her grandmother had endured, Ruth’s heart swelled with sadness, guilt, and a growing bitterness. Why did they never stop tormenting her?

Kallie, sensing the depth of Ruth’s despair, stepped forward and handed her a bank card after entering the house.

I’ve had enough trouble in my life without adding more. You don’t need to waste your time on someone like me.”

Kallie’s heart ached as she took in Ruth’s frail figure, but she didn’t press the issue. Instead, she followed Ruth further into the house.
