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.

Exhaling softly, Kallie pulled out her phone and made a quick call. For now, she’d have a few people keep an eye on Caitlin—just in case. This wasn’t about spying. It was about keeping Caitlin safe.

Caitlin had fallen asleep, but her rest was far from peaceful. She found herself trapped in a nightmare—one where she hadn’t escaped her captors. Clayton had been there, but instead of rescuing her, he had merely stood by, watching as those men dragged her away.

The nightmare worsened. She was tormented by a sadist, and when it was over, she was thrown into a lavish banquet full of pristine, polished guests. In stark contrast, she was unrecognizable—broken, filthy, ruined.
