Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1142:

Luckily, Leo showed up with backup right at the crucial moment. As some held the intruder down, the rest rushed Lacey off to the hospital. Lacey was vomiting dark blood the entire time. The pain in her stomach was so overwhelming that it almost drove her mad. Her face contorted in sheer anguish. The pain was too much to bear. She never wanted to go through anything like this again. All she wanted was for her actions to exonerate her this time.

Once everything was settled, Leo stood in the room where Lacey had previously rested and gotten poisoned. His frown deepened as he stared at the wide-open window. The window showed no signs of being forced open, which suggested that it had been left open originally.

While it was common to open windows for some fresh air, it was odd to do so on cold nights in the mountains, where the cold breeze was nearly unbearable. Nobody would choose to sleep with the window open.

However, Leo thought it wasn’t reasonable to suspect Lacey solely because of the open window. After all, Lacey had been poisoned. She had no reason to hurt herself. It was possible, though, that Lacey might have been the one to poison Jake, which could explain why she had poison on her.

At first, Leo had his suspicions about Lacey but hadn’t shared them with Jake, as he didn’t believe them himself. After all, it was obvious to everyone how deeply Lacey wanted to be with Jake. If Jake were to die, it would do Lacey no good whatsoever. Leo felt he was probably overthinking it.
