Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1526:

Even though Sophie was sick, she was always perceptive. In a weak voice, she asked, “Mom, what’s the matter? You look a little troubled.”

Kallie sat down next to Sophie’s bed and gently stroked her forehead. Feeling the heat from Sophie’s fever, she grew concerned. “It’s nothing. Just some issues at work, nothing serious. You need to focus on getting better. You’ve lost so much weight. If you don’t take better care of yourself, I might have to stop you from going to those competitions.”

Upon hearing her mother’s words, Sophie quickly agreed, batting her eyelashes and putting on her most endearing expression. “Mom, I promise I’ll rest well and take good care of myself.”

Kallie softened immediately. “I’m just pulling your leg. Don’t make me worry like that again.”

Sophie nodded.

Kallie and Jake remained by Sophie’s side until her fever began to subside.

After taking her medicine, Sophie began to feel sleepy, and she soon fell asleep.noveldrama

Standing on the balcony, Kallie had mixed feelings.

The VIP room was like a small apartment, with an additional room—if Kallie and Jake chose not to go home at night, they had the option to stay there.

Reflecting on the previous day’s events, Kallie felt a whirlwind of emotions. She felt sorry for Caitlin. She hadn’t imagined that Caitlin had faced so many difficulties but had chosen not to ask for her help.

Kallie had wanted to help Caitlin, but she didn’t know where to start, especially since Caitlin was fiercely independent and stubborn. She hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.

Aware that Caitlin had been ensnared by Clayton’s scheme, Kallie couldn’t just look away. After all, Clayton had targeted Caitlin because of her.

Deep in thought, Kallie didn’t notice Jake approaching until he wrapped his arms around her. For a brief moment, she felt confused.

She turned to face Jake.

His embrace brought warmth and comfort, easing her distress. Jake tenderly kissed her forehead and asked, “It’s cold out here. Aren’t you worried about catching a cold?”

Kallie shook her head. “I’m just overwhelmed, and the cold air seems to clear my mind.”

Jake paused and then asked, “Is this about Caitlin?”

Kallie nodded. They were right next to the room where the commotion had happened, and it hadn’t been quiet. It made sense that Jake was aware of the situation.

Jake pondered for a moment and said, “I had someone investigate the situation. It turns out that Caitlin was carried away by Clayton that day. Our drinks were spiked. The spiked cup of water was eventually poured on Caitlin. There was no need to guess what happened next.”
