Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 970:

With this realization, Lacey headed downstairs, finding the servant busy preparing Elma’s medicine.

“I’ll take care of it. You go fetch some fresh herbs,” Lacey instructed coldly.

No one suspected a thing, and soon, they all left.

Seizing the opportunity, Lacey carefully poured the poison into Elma’s medicine.noveldrama

Elsewhere, ever since Elma resided with Jake, Kallie couldn’t shake the lingering discomfort. Though Elma was once resistant to her, over the years, Elma had become unexpectedly clingy.

Sophie had matured, developed her own thoughts, and become more reserved. Calvin, being a boy, didn’t quite understand how to be clingy. With Elma’s presence, the atmosphere felt more lively.

Kallie made it a point to have video calls with Elma every night, with Sophie and Calvin joining in.

Kallie had to admit Elma looked rosier under Lacey’s treatment. Lacey’s character might raise doubts, but her medical skills were undeniably impressive.

If it weren’t for Lacey’s questionable motives, Kallie would have felt completely at ease leaving Elma in her care.

Right now, Kallie, miles away, was on a video call with Elma.

Elma’s face lit up as she recounted her day with Jake, her voice animated.

Kallie’s voice was tinged with helplessness as she replied, “Elma, you don’t need to tell me your dad’s business. Those are his secrets. It’s not for you to share with me.”

Elma furrowed her brow, puzzled.

“But my dad knows I tell you about all these things! He doesn’t mind at all. Maybe he even wants me to tell you.”

Kallie chuckled and brushed off Elma’s words, treating them as innocent ramblings, not worth taking too seriously.

After ending the call, Kallie finally noticed Brysen sitting quietly beside her.

Kallie hadn’t even noticed Brysen come in.

Kallie had taken Brysen to see the family doctor after bringing her back from Halsland. The doctor diagnosed Brysen with severe depression, which was causing symptoms that resembled autism.

Years of mistreatment by Neal had taken a toll on Brysen’s mental health. Medication and therapy could only do so much to help her. For Brysen to truly recover, she needed to overcome her emotional trauma.

Kallie’s heart ached for Brysen.

Some of Kallie’s subordinates suggested using hypnosis to lure Brysen into revealing who had hurt her and what had happened on that fateful day. By doing so, Kallie would know who was the trigger of Brysen’s trauma. But Kallie refused. Forcing Brysen to relive those painful memories could make things even worse. If steering clear of dredging up the past meant Brysen could find some peace, it was acceptable.
