Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1448:

Jeanette might be young, but Kallie wasn’t worried about her misusing it. They needed to stay in touch, and it wasn’t great for Jeanette to keep borrowing phones from other people.

When Kallie arrived at the ward and saw the empty bed, her heart skipped a beat. She rushed to the hospital reception.

“Excuse me, where’s the patient from VIP Room 2? Why isn’t she in her room?” Her voice was tight with tension. “She was badly hurt, and I even hired a caregiver for her. She wasn’t supposed to be discharged today.”

The nurse shot Kallie a strange look but didn’t answer right away. Instead, she grabbed the phone and called security.

“Can you come to the front desk? We’ve got a situation here.”

Kallie’s stomach dropped. Her unease grew stronger. Her brows knitted together, and her voice cut through the air, sharp and icy. “Where the hell is she? If you don’t give me a real answer, I’ll have no choice but to call the cops.”

The nurse cleared her throat, as if trying to buy herself some time. “You’re Miss Nixon, right? We’ve been told not to take in any patient related to you or even you yourself. Please, try to understand.”

Kallie’s anger flared up like a fire igniting. “This is a hospital! Aren’t you supposed to be saving lives?”

The nurse’s face hardened. “Please take that young girl back with you. I am merely following orders. Kindly don’t make things difficult for me. Let me tell you something—no hospital around here will take that young girl in. Maybe you should think about who you’ve offended.”

Kallie instantly connected the dots—Lisa was likely behind all this, venting her frustration in this way.

Lisa couldn’t do anything to Kallie or her kids, who were far away in Avalon, so she had taken her anger out on Jeanette instead.

Kallie forced herself to stay calm. After taking a steadying breath, she asked, “Can you at least tell me where the girl is now?” The nurse casually flicked her finger down the hallway.

Kallie followed the direction the nurse pointed to and saw a few beds scattered down the corridor. Her heart nearly stopped when she noticed the wide open windows, letting in the icy wind. With Jeanette’s injuries that severe, leaving her in this state was reckless.

Kallie’s eyes blazed with cold fury as she shot the nurse a piercing look. “If you can get in touch with that woman, tell her she’d better pray nothing happens to the patient. Otherwise, she’ll regret this day for the rest of her miserable life.”

The nurse didn’t say a word but stepped back, visibly intimidated by the fire burning in Kallie’s eyes.

With that, Kallie hurried down the hall. At the far end of the corridor, she found Jeanette burning with fever. Jeanette had received no care at all, only a thin blanket thrown over her frail form.

Seeing Jeanette curled up in pain, shivering, Kallie’s heart broke. Flashbacks of Elma’s past illnesses rushed through her mind.

“Jeanette,” Kallie called softly, caressing Jeanette’s flushed face, her voice trembling with worry. “Jeanette, I’m here. I’ll make sure you’re safe.”
