Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 734:

Elma grappled with the possible future repercussions—Calvin and the others might blame or harbor resentment toward her. Dread washed over her at the thought, pulling her into a sullen state.

Noticing Elma’s sadness, Sophie tried to lift her spirits.

Elma couldn’t muster a smile. Tears were almost falling. Sophie’s kindness only intensified her guilt for pulling off the stunt Cara had requested. She condemned herself as vile. On the verge of exiting through the back, Elma’s conscience fought to voice her remorse.

Elma remained mute, staring at Sophie, her expression filled with turmoil.
