Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1289:

A servant lifted Kallie’s skirt and found a large patch of her skin had turned red, clearly indicating a burn.

The stark contrast against Kallie’s delicate skin was both striking and alarming.

Kallie barely showed any sign of pain and just frowned.

“This looks so bad. Will my legs be scarred? What should I do now?”

Florrie breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that Kallie’s legs were really unable to move.

However, Florrie failed to notice the intense pain Kallie was hiding. Cold sweat soaked Kallie’s back from the effort of enduring it. Kallie’s resilience had been forged through the hardships she had gone through. Her endurance level was above that of an average human. Only then did Florrie begin to fear that Kallie might report the incident to Gracelyn.

In a desperate move, Florrie knelt before Kallie and started slapping herself.

“Miss Nixon, this is all my fault. Please, I’m begging you, don’t tell Mrs. White. I’d be ruined if she found out.”

Internally, Kallie sneered at the display. Despite understanding the potential consequences, Florrie still chose to act this way. It was only right for Florrie to face the repercussions.
