Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 828:

He pondered for a moment before ordering:

‘Make sure Kallie doesn’t come to see me for a while.

Make my condition look serious, like I have several critical illness alerts.

Do you understand what I mean?’

The doctor nodded and walked out.

Clayton reached up and touched his chest.

It still hurt.

Not that he was risking his life just for his plans to conquer Kallie’s heart, but he knew his heart was slightly displaced toward the centre, instead of being on the normal left side.

By doing this, he alleviated some of Kallie’s suspicions about him, which was worth it.

Clayton looked at the wall as if he could see Kallie resting in the next room.

He muttered, ‘Kallie, I’ve made countless sacrifices for you.

When will you finally understand how I feel?’

He thought his efforts and patience would eventually pay off, and the day would come when she would truly fall in love with him.

But before that day came, he had to remove all the obstacles that stood in his way, making sure Kallie didn’t discover his plans.

Jake was one of those obstacles.

So far, none of his men had found any trace of Jake, much less his body.

Clayton had already prepared himself for the worst, that Jake would be alive even after receiving serious injuries.

However, if Jake really was alive, why hadn’t he tried to find them?

Clayton had sent his men all over Burmoos to monitor Jake’s movements, in case there were any.

He would be on the alert immediately if Jake even thought of contacting Kallie.

So far, however, there was not a single sign.

Clayton deduced three possible explanations for this.

The most likely was that Jake hadn’t survived, which would be a relief to Clayton.

Or it could be that Jake had somehow lost his memory and forgotten all about Burmoos, which would also be an ideal outcome for Clayton.

The worst-case scenario, the one Clayton feared the most, was that Jake had discovered his plans.

But Clayton doubted Jake was perceptive enough to realise his intentions.

He had always kept his true ambitions a secret, even from Kallie.

It seemed to him that the first two explanations were more likely.

Under the assumption that Clayton was seriously injured, according to the doctors’ constant critical reports, Kallie remained in the hospital for a full week, her unease taking hold of her.

When the doctors finally confirmed that Clayton was out of danger, she let out a deep sigh of relief.

As she watched Clayton, still pale and weak, being wheeled out of the ICU, her eyes filled with tears.

Anxiously, she approached the doctor.

‘I…

Cost is not an issue.

Please make sure he gets the best care possible.

And once she recovers, will there be any lasting side effects?’
