Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1237:

Inside, there appeared to be something resembling an altar. At its center knelt an elderly woman with white hair. The servant who opened the door also looked aged. They both appeared frail and harmless. Kallie understood that the servant’s actions were meant to show they posed no threat. She let out a dry laugh and explained, “I didn’t mean it that way. I just thought maybe this elderly lady was doing something important and didn’t want to disturb her.”

The servant replied, “It’s alright. Mrs. White has been expecting you for quite a while. Would you mind going in to speak with her?” Hearing this, Kallie felt compelled to go inside. She inhaled deeply and walked through the doorway.

Once Kallie entered, both servants, the one inside the room and the one at the door, left. They shut the door, leaving only Kallie and the elderly woman alone in the room.

The elderly woman said nothing and appeared to be deeply engrossed in prayer.

Though confused, Kallie chose to wait quietly.

However, as the minutes ticked by with no words from the elderly woman, Kallie became increasingly restless. It wasn’t that she lacked patience, but her thoughts were consumed with the urgency of locating Jake as quickly as possible. She couldn’t afford to spend time on anything else.

Just as Kallie was about to fumble for an excuse to leave, the elderly woman said softly, “Kallie, you’ve blossomed into a mature and elegant woman. Do you not remember me?”
