Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 668:

Caught between dreams and waking, Kallie’s eyes fluttered open and focused on Jake.

“Jake!” Kallie gasped, her voice thin and distant, as though she believed she was still dreaming.

“Stay still,” Jake instructed with a frown, trying to maintain some distance to think clearly.
