Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1398:

Seeing the resolve in Caitlin’s eyes, Kallie chose not to push any further. There was no point—she understood how Caitlin felt. After spending some time with Caitlin and confirming that she had no other issues and was slowly drifting off to sleep, Kallie finally left. But just as she reached the hospital’s main entrance, something made her pause. A familiar figure caught her eye. Her gaze narrowed in hesitation as she turned her head. There was no mistake—it was Clayton. But what was he doing here?

Before she could take a second look, he vanished—swallowed up by the passing crowd.

Kallie shook her head, telling herself she was probably just overthinking it. Even if it had been Clayton, there must have been a reason for him to be in a place like this. She hoped things weren’t as bad as she feared.
