Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 752:

Sophie knew she had to step in and try to soothe Elma’s hurt feelings. “Elma, don’t let him get to you. Calvin’s usually a good kid. He’s just worried sick about our mom right now.”

Elma wrenched her hand from Sophie’s grasp and bolted from the room, tears streaming down her face.

Kallie felt a wave of discomfort wash over her. She turned her back on Calvin, not wanting to see him right now.

Kallie sighed, her voice heavy with worry. “If something happens to me, it’ll just be the three of you left. How can I be at peace knowing you treat each other this way?”

Sophie’s brow furrowed with worry. “Mom, don’t talk like that,” she said, her voice filled with concern. “I’ll take you to the hospital right now.”
