Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1116:

The man reached out and took Kallie’s hand abruptly. Her first impulse was to summon the bodyguards, but as the man looked up, revealing an unfamiliar face, she unexpectedly blurted out, “Clayton?”

Clayton was taken aback, not expecting Kallie to recall his name despite her memory loss, signaling the success of the prior hypnotic session. This gave him confidence that his schemes might succeed. A cautious smile briefly passed over his face as he feigned a look of nervous excitement. His eyes brimming with tears, he softly spoke.

“Kallie, I finally get to see you. I’ve risked so much just for this moment.”noveldrama

Confusion swirled through Kallie’s thoughts. Despite her amnesia, she remembered Clayton as her husband. Before this trip, she had resolved with Jake to fully disclose their situation to Clayton upon meeting him. Looking into Clayton’s eyes, Kallie’s initial doubts slowly began to dissipate. Yet, she couldn’t shake off a residual skepticism about his intentions. What exactly did he mean by having risked everything to meet her?

Kallie, fighting back her confusion, spoke with a distant tone.

“I don’t recall the past or anything about you. I hear a voice inside saying you’re my husband, but I’m not sure if that’s true.”

A spark of hope lit up in Clayton’s eyes upon hearing her words. Before he could reply, Kallie continued, “Let’s discuss this since we’re here. I sense my memories might be incorrect—you might not be my husband—because when I look at you, I…”

“Don’t feel any connection. I doubt I would marry without love. Were we truly married?”

Kallie’s gaze on Clayton carried a mix of skepticism and hope for clarity.

Clayton caught her implication and chastised himself for his failure in whisking away the semi-hypnotized Kallie months earlier. Still, he held onto the belief that she, having been partly influenced by hypnosis, should have a soft spot for him. While the hypnosis had muddled her mind, deceiving her into believing he was her husband, she had once again fallen for Jake—a fact he refused to accept.

Jake and Kallie seemed irresistibly drawn to each other, destined to be together.

Not reconciled with the fruitless efforts he had put in to make Kallie fall for him and still resenting Jake for causing his downfall, Clayton resolved not to stand idly by and watch Jake and Kallie reconcile.

Clayton inhaled deeply, choosing not to confront Kallie with harsh words. Patting on a resigned smile, he said, “The past is complex and can’t be unraveled quickly. Could we find a quiet spot to talk? You can have the bodyguards follow if it makes you feel safer. Just keep them out of sight. If Jake discovers this, I might not make it out alive.” His tone appeared sincere.

Kallie aimed to resolve their issues, yet she couldn’t shake off her concerns about Clayton and Jake’s tumultuous relationship. Lacey had once hinted that Jake might harbor ill intentions toward Clayton, which Kallie had initially dismissed but now felt plausible. She was unclear about the origin of their feud but had chosen Jake and didn’t want to waver. While her curiosity about their past conflicts persisted, her primary desire was to uncover her own history.

Kallie and Clayton moved to an unoccupied hospital room and shut themselves in.

As Clayton gazed at Kallie, his eyes brimmed with tears. Catching himself, he covered his eyes with his hand, murmuring, “Kallie, I… Seeing you safe and sound means everything to me.”

Kallie was confused yet concealed her emotions, saying, “Mr. Morgan, if you have something to say, please say it quickly. Jake will start looking for me if he doesn’t see me when he returns.”
