Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 826:

Holding back sobs, Kallie shook her head and pointed desperately towards Clayton as he was being transferred onto a stretcher.

‘Forget about me.

Focus your attention on him!’ she urged, her voice filled with desperation.

She couldn’t bear the thought of being beholden to him again.

Though she had no love for him and no desire to be with him, she never wished him dead.

The thought of his demise filled her with dread, fearing a lifetime of remorse and pain.

When Edgar arrived at the hospital, Kallie had already changed and was sitting quietly outside the emergency room, her gaze empty and distant.

Edgar noticed Kallie’s hands shaking uncontrollably and sat down beside her, trying to offer her some comfort.

‘Don’t worry.

Mr. Morgan is going to pull through,’ he assured her gently.

Kallie’s voice sounded husky when she spoke.

‘Have you figured out who’s behind the attack?’

Edgar shook his head, his expression full of regret.

‘Sorry, no.’

Kallie showed no anger.

Instead, she closed her eyes and muttered, ‘I figured it out.

Whoever orchestrated this must have significant power.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare attack me so brazenly.’

Edgar hesitated before voicing his suspicion.

‘While we recognise that Clayton saved you, there’s something that doesn’t add up.

The incident happened right near the Reeves Group headquarters.

Who would dare to do such a thing? Besides, the timing is suspicious.

Shortly after I sent you the message about firing the men Clayton had arranged, this attack occurred…’

His voice trailed off, filled with frustration.

Edgar had always been skeptical of Clayton’s intentions, but given the help Clayton had given Kallie, he found it hard to criticize him now.

Kallie’s eyes, filled with sadness, met Edgar’s.

‘That’s precisely what I was thinking before he got hurt.

It all seemed too coincidental.

But the doctor just told me that the knife went just a centimetre past his heart,’ she said, her voice breaking as she began to sob softly.

Edgar was taken aback, clearly not expecting the situation to develop in this way.

He looked stunned, muttering to himself, ‘Within an inch of his heart?’

Edgar thought that, if this was true, that meant Clayton hadn’t orchestrated the whole thing, despite the odd timing.

If Clayton had been planning this elaborate act, he wouldn’t have had to risk his own life.

Kallie sighed, her thoughts a jumbled mess that caused her a pounding headache and overwhelming fatigue.

‘Not that I trust Clayton completely.

However, given the circumstances, I owe him this favour, and I have no idea how to repay it.

Edgar, I need you to continue the investigation.

This danger to our security must be resolved.
