Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 748:

Jake shifted slightly, only to be greeted by a sharp pain. He realized he was in a private residence, which appeared modest from the layout. His clothes had been changed, and his wounds were carefully bandaged. Attempting to move brought only intensified pain, prompting Jake to remain still. He called out, his voice hoarse, “Is anyone there? Hello?”

Shortly after, the door opened, and a little girl entered. She was thin, with an ordinary appearance but lively, big eyes that reminded him of a deer in the mountains. She appeared to be about the same age as Elma.

Upon noticing Jake was awake, the girl hurried over and poured him a cup of water from a worn kettle. Jake felt distressed seeing her struggle with the kettle, but she managed to serve the water successfully.

She brought the cup to Jake’s side. “Here, have some water,” she said in a local dialect that Jake surprisingly understood.

Jake thanked her, took a sip of the water, and felt immediate relief. The little girl reminded him of Elma, softening his expression.

“Hello. Can you tell me, was it you who saved me?” Jake asked with difficulty.
