Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1130:

Kallie was hesitant about how to break the news, so she opted for a direct approach.

“Edgar, can you find a way to help Elma and me leave? I’m thinking of taking Elma abroad, but I don’t know who else to trust, so I reached out to you.”

Edgar’s response came with a tinge of shock.

“Help you leave? Where exactly are you right now?”

After Kallie relayed the address, she continued, “This place is crawling with Jake’s people. Edgar, I believe you’re the only one who can help us. Our fate is entirely in your hands.”noveldrama

Kallie chose not to reveal to Edgar her struggles with amnesia, instead using her current predicament as leverage to convince him. The gravity of her situation weighed heavily on her, her nerves frayed by the risky gambit she felt compelled to undertake.

Edgar paused, lost in thought and silent for a long moment.

Kallie felt a twinge of unease. She had braced herself for this reaction, yet disappointment washed over her all the same. However, she harbored no resentment toward Edgar. She realized she had been a bit too hasty.

Recognizing this, Kallie’s voice grew gentle.

“Edgar, I apologize. I acted too hastily. Please, disregard what I said earlier. Just pretend today’s conversation never happened.”

Kallie’s hand hovered over the button to end the call when Edgar’s resolute voice broke through.

“I’ll help you. You’ve helped me in the past. I owe you for that, and honestly, this task is well within my capabilities. Though you’re not far, I’ll need a bit of time to get everything ready. Will dinner time be okay?”

A spark of hope ignited in Kallie’s eyes.

“Thank you.”

Edgar responded with a light laugh.

“No, I should be thanking you.” In the years of Jake’s absence, when the Reeves Group lacked leadership and was vulnerable to attacks, Kallie had stood firm and thwarted multiple attempts by former adversaries to destabilize the company, repeatedly safeguarding its interests.

Edgar was aware that Kallie had intervened on behalf of Jake, but it was still a favor. Plus, in the face of Jake’s harsh dismissal months earlier, Kallie was the only one brave enough to defend him.

Edgar was the type to remember such acts of kindness deeply. He had long resolved that no matter what he relinquished in life, he could never turn a blind eye if Kallie found herself in peril. Assisting her now would make him feel he had returned the favor a bit.

Edgar’s earlier promise of whisking Kallie and Elma away was just to reassure her. He was acutely aware that taking them away under Jake’s watchful eyes was akin to tiptoeing through a minefield—a perilously tough endeavor. He could only hope that their shared history might soften Jake’s potential backlash.

With his decision firmly in place, Edgar took a moment to say goodbye to his wife and his child.

Meanwhile, Kallie was holed up in the room with Elma, her anxiety palpable. She compulsively checked on Elma’s well-being, unable to settle until she was certain of Elma’s safety.

Initially, Elma had been poised to confront Jake with some pressing questions, but witnessing Kallie’s distressed state, she chose to remain by Kallie’s side instead.

As the evening wore on and dinner time loomed, Kallie’s agitation only intensified.

To her relief, Edgar had just sent a message, informing her that he and his team had arrived but needed her to bring Elma downstairs.
