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.

Unease consumed Kallie. She had failed to recognize the severity of Elma’s illness, not even bothering to delve into it for any precautions, unwittingly adding to Elma’s discomfort. If she’d only gathered more information about Elma’s condition, today’s events might have been avoided.

Kallie’s hand slipped from the doorframe, her fingers trembling slightly. She cast her eyes downward, taking a hesitant step back. The decision was clear—she wouldn’t push her way inside. 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.
