Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1524:

Caitlin refused to meet Kallie’s gaze as more tears poured down her face. As she turned back to face Kallie again, her sadness and pain were palpable.

She couldn’t view the situation any differently. Who else but Kallie and Jake could carry out such an act on their property? She was sure that Beth did not have the means to do that. She just didn’t understand. Why would Kallie want to harm her? Why try to destroy her?

Kallie felt exhausted seeing Caitlin’s reluctance to talk. She moved closer, hoping to shorten the distance between them, but Caitlin avoided her, looking guarded and cold. “There’s nothing left to discuss between us. Just act as if we’ve never known each other. My issues are mine alone. They’re none of your business, so stay out of them.”

Despite Caitlin’s standoffish attitude, Kallie wasn’t ready to back down. “But Clayton is not a good person. He doesn’t have your best interests at heart. Don’t let him deceive you. I understand you’re upset with me, but you can’t trust Clayton.”

Caitlin was deeply in love with Clayton, so she couldn’t tolerate any criticism of him. Her anger flared, and her expression turned icy. “I know Clayton well enough. I don’t need your warnings. Kallie, it’s clear you’re just upset because he likes me now.”

Kallie was baffled. “Upset? Why would I be upset? There’s nothing for me to be upset about.”

Caitlin smirked but said nothing. Her silence spoke volumes.

Kallie suddenly felt disappointed. She could tell that someone had intentionally caused a misunderstanding between her and Caitlin. She hadn’t imagined Caitlin would see her in such a negative light. Caitlin should have known she wasn’t like that. Since Caitlin still didn’t trust her, Kallie saw no reason to persist.

The warmth drained from Kallie’s eyes, and her voice grew cold. “You’ve made your choice, so I’ll step back. From now on, Caitlin, you’re on your own. I’m out of your business. Just be clear, there’s a deep rift between Clayton and me. Choose his side, and I won’t hold back next time we cross paths.” With that, Kallie walked away.

Caitlin watched Kallie go, her eyes filled with mixed emotions.

As Kallie exited the ward, she ran into Clayton.

Clayton gave a slight smile when he saw Kallie.

Unable to contain her fury, Kallie struck him across the face.

Taken aback, Clayton touched his cheek, stunned by her reaction.

Shaking with rage, Kallie’s voice cut through the air. “Clayton, don’t think I’m unaware of your schemes. I just can’t fathom why you can’t seem to let me go after all this time.”

Rather than respond with anger, Clayton laughed, rubbing his cheek. “Kallie, I like the fact that you hate me. Your hatred means you haven’t forgotten me. As long as you remember me instead of ignoring me. Remember how we used to be friends, when you saw me as your closest ally? What changed?”

Kallie was repulsed by Clayton’s attitude. Her eyes clearly conveyed her disgust. “But Clayton, if I had a choice, I’d rather never have met you. The worst decision I made in my life was to treat you as my friend.”
