Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1036:

Lacey, observing Kallie’s pale face, felt a twisted sense of satisfaction. Yet, she didn’t stop there and continued her charade of mock righteous indignation.

“Therefore, in my opinion, Miss Nixon shouldn’t be allowed to see Elma until her condition improves.”

Kallie wanted to argue, to plead her case, but her gaze drifted to the ajar door. Through the narrow gap, she saw Elma lying still on the bed, her face pale and almost unrecognizable. It was clear the child had suffered immensely.

Lacey noticed Kallie’s retreat and felt a swell of victory. Despite her efforts to mask her smug face, her satisfaction seeped into her voice.
