Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1115:

Lacey’s suggestion to return was logical, and Jake was inclined to agree. He inquired, “Is the hospital far? Should I send someone along with you?”

Lacey declined his offer and proposed deliberately, “If you don’t mind, we could find a place to rest for the day and continue the journey tomorrow. Still, if you’re in a rush, I can guide you now, but it may still be a full day’s drive. Although my condition seems serious, I can manage to pull myself together.”

Upon hearing this, Jake’s mind shifted to Kallie’s severe carsickness. With such a long journey ahead, he decided it was best to rest for a night before setting off.

“Is the hospital you mentioned located in the town? Is there another town nearby?” Jake asked.

Lacey, barely hiding her smug smile, nodded.

“It’s in town, about a half-hour away.”

Jake agreed.

“Alright, I’ll bring Kallie to the hospital as well.” He then left to find Kallie.noveldrama

Lacey watched him leave, a hint of disappointment in her gaze, but she quickly regained her composure. Regardless, she had reached her objective. Even if Kallie hadn’t been plagued by carsickness, Lacey would have made sure Kallie ended up in the hospital using drugs if needed. After all, the unfolding of her and Clayton’s plan depended on this hospital visit.

Dreading the hospital visit, Kallie protested, “It’s merely carsickness. Let’s not overreact.”

Jake, serious, countered, “We should have it checked regardless. Plus, even if we skip the hospital, we still need a good rest today given we have another full day of travel tomorrow.”

Convinced by the long drive ahead, Kallie agreed with a sigh.

“Then let’s head to the hospital.”

The group made their way to the town’s hospital.

To their surprise, the small town appeared neglected, and the infrastructure was underdeveloped. However, in contrast, the hospital itself was new, standing out starkly against the dilapidated surroundings.

Jake, ever cautious, had someone inquire about the facility.

It was revealed that the hospital had been funded by a wealthy individual seeking a good reputation and had only been constructed two years prior.

Jake’s doubts evaporated instantly. Two years ago, no one could have predicted he would bring his family here.

The day’s events seemed merely accidental to Jake and Kallie. Both Lacey and Kallie ended up visiting the doctor.

Lacey’s condition was indeed more serious than Kallie’s. She required an IV drip, yet the procedure was brief.

Jake, concerned for her well-being, assigned bodyguards to ensure her safety.

After the doctor had prescribed medication for Kallie, their next plan was to rest at a hotel in town.

Just then, Jake’s phone buzzed. Seeing Lacey’s name on the display, he excused himself to take the call outside.

Meanwhile, Kallie, having gathered her medication, turned to find Jake missing and decided to wait.

During her wait, a man in a baseball cap swiftly approached her.

Kallie’s brow furrowed, a strange familiarity with the man unsettling her. As he drew nearer, her anxiety grew, not from excitement but from a deep-seated unease.
