Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1452:

Kallie’s eyes narrowed slightly, her foot still firmly planted on Jack. “Now that I’ve heard that, there’s no chance I’m letting you go,” she said, her voice cold and unwavering. “It’s only right that I seek justice for those you’ve harmed.”

Jack howled in agony, “They had it coming!”

His words only fueled the outrage of the onlookers, who continued to record his despicable behavior on their phones. But all they could do was document the scene—calling the police would likely be futile. People like Jack often had the police in their corner, looking out for one another while disregarding the well-being of the common folk.

Seeing that the situation was ripe for making her point, Kallie finally let Jack go.

Jack scrambled to his feet, looking disheveled and humiliated. He considered fighting back, but when his eyes met Kallie’s cold, unflinching gaze, another sharp pain flared in his body. He glared at Kallie, seething with frustration, before slinking away in defeat. After Jack and his bodyguards retreated, the onlookers slowly dispersed, leaving the scene behind.

Kallie quickly scooped up Jeanette and soothed her with gentle pats on the back. “It’s all sorted now. Get some rest. Everything will feel better after a good sleep.”

Jeanette gazed up at Kallie, her eyes filled with awe. “Kallie, you’re incredible. I wish I could be as courageous as you.”

Even abroad, confronted by daunting adversaries, Kallie had remained fearless. Her composure had never wavered, as if she had prepared for this all along. Jeanette deeply admired this sharpness in Kallie.

Nestled in Kallie’s warm embrace, Jeanette’s eyes fluttered closed, and she slowly drifted to sleep.

Jeanette was soon lost in a vivid dream. In it, her mother appeared, smiling tenderly and speaking softly. “Jeanette, it comforts me to see you leading such a fulfilling life, surrounded by those who care for you. Please look after yourself. It worries me to watch over you from heaven.”

Tears welled up in Jeanette’s eyes as she embraced her mother tightly. “Mom, I miss you so much. I almost can’t remember your face.” But suddenly, a chilling stare interrupted her reunion. The next second, she was jerked from her mother’s comforting hold. Confused, she looked up into the cold, unyielding eyes of Lacey.

Until that moment, Jeanette had been happy. Despite Lacey’s countless wrongdoings, she couldn’t help but miss her after all this time. Lacey had surprisingly appeared in her dream.

Jeanette reached out to her. “Lacey, is that really you? I’ve missed you. How have you been? Are they treating you well in prison? Don’t worry, I’m working hard on my studies, and when you’re released, we’ll start a new life together. Just promise me you won’t cause any trouble for Kallie and Jake, and I’ll make sure they go easy on you.”

To Jeanette’s surprise, Lacey looked at her with coldness and contempt in her eyes. “You fool, you’re just their lapdog now. I regret ever having you as my sister. If I had another chance, I would have left by myself. I never should have taken you away from that hell. You’re not worth saving.”

As Lacey spoke, she pinched Jeanette’s face sharply.noveldrama

Even though it was just a dream, Jeanette felt an unexpected pain. Seeing Lacey like this and hearing those cruel words made her heart constrict. It felt as though it was being crushed by a relentless hammer, making it difficult for her to breathe.
