Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1209:

Already weak, she couldn’t bear the thought of it failing him now. If Jake had gone too far, his actions could have turned deadly for Clayton.

Kallie’s mind churned as she tried to understand what could’ve driven Jake to act so recklessly. It was so unlike him.

Her breath caught, and her pupils constricted in alarm. She quickened her pace without thinking, her heels clicking sharply against the floor.

But before she could reach Clayton, Jake’s men moved to block her path. She froze, fists clenching at her sides, as she heard the heavy tread of approaching footsteps.
