Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 489:

Jake had been trapped by Anna, believing that everything would be fine as long as Edgar and Lenny were on Sophie’s trail. But Jake hadn’t anticipated the extent of Anna’s madness.

Edgar knelt before Kallie, his face etched with guilt. He slapped himself several times and, with a voice trembling with remorse, said, “Miss Nixon, I’m to blame. I failed to protect your daughter properly. Mr. Reeves is not at fault.”

As Edgar recounted the events, his voice quivered with sorrow and regret. Edgar and Lenny raced after Sophie and soon found her. As Edgar managed to coax her, Jake hadn’t made an appearance. Just then, Lenny said he feared Jake might do something drastic to Anna, potentially making the situation irreversible, and urged Edgar to take a look.

Edgar knew Lenny well. While Lenny always followed Anna’s directives, he wasn’t a bad person. Still, Edgar agreed to leave. However, he didn’t anticipate what would unfold after he had taken just a few steps.

Consumed by guilt, Lenny told Edgar that Anna had asked him to take Sophie away. The idea was to scare Kallie for a few days, hoping she would leave Jake.
