Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1100:

This subtle movement didn’t escape Kallie’s vigilant eyes. She then noticed a chilling blueness overtaking Elma’s fingertips, the skin there shaded a disturbing dark blue right under the nails—a sight only perceptible upon close examination.
