Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1531:

A frown tugged at Sophie’s lips as she murmured sleepily, “Are you tired? I’m not a baby anymore. You and Dad don’t have to stay up for me.”

Kallie’s tense expression melted into something warm as she gently pressed her hand to Sophie’s forehead, relieved to find it cool to the touch. “What are you saying?” she chided softly, a gentle smile forming. “No matter how old you get, you’ll always be our little girl. We couldn’t possibly rest easy without keeping an eye on you. And look—you’re already doing much better.”

Maybe it was the remnants of her fever, or perhaps it was just one of those rare nights, but Sophie clung to her mother more than usual. “Mom, can you hug me?”

Kallie hesitated, her gaze flicking to the IV in Sophie’s hand. Not wanting to risk disturbing it, she slid onto the bed instead, gathering her daughter close in a careful embrace.

“It’s still early,” Kallie whispered. “Get some more rest. I’ll sing you a lullaby.”

Sophie nodded against her shoulder, her small body relaxing as Kallie’s soft voice filled the room, lulling Sophie back into peaceful sleep.
