Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 729:

Sophie tried to divert the conversation to cheer Elma up. “We’ve got plenty of fun activities here. There’s a theater room for movies and games, and if you’re bored of that, there’s a small petting zoo out back with loads of adorable animals. If that doesn’t appeal to you, we could head up to the mountain, although it’s not fishing season.”

Cradling her milk cup, Elma couldn’t resist asking, “Are you two always this happy every day? That’s really nice. You can enjoy anything, but I’m not allowed to touch anything.”

Elma knew Cara’s disdain for her laughter. Laughing openly in Cara’s presence meant punishment. So, Elma had adapted. She confined herself to her room, her days marked by solitude and silence, with a shadow of sadness always present.

Sophie empathized deeply with Elma. Pulling her into a hug, she reassured her, “Don’t worry. It’s wonderful here. You can find happiness here, at least for the time being. Remember, whether you’re happy or not, the days will still go by.”

Elma nodded eagerly, her eyes bright with excitement. Turning to Sophie and Calvin, she asked with hope in her voice, “May I go and see the animals?”

The three of them enjoyed a splendid afternoon, their joyful laughter echoing through the air.
