Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1490:

Still, Caitlin felt a burning urge to confront Kallie for going this far. Could a wounded ego really justify tearing someone else’s life apart? Had all the kindness Kallie once showed her been nothing more than an act?

Hot tears ran down Caitlin’s cheeks, and her body wouldn’t budge. Worse still, her head was spinning faster and her senses grew foggier with each breath.

Just then, the door creaked open.

Through her blurred vision, Caitlin saw a man she had never seen before. His gaze was dark and unmistakably lustful.

Caitlin wanted to scream, to cry out for help, to push him away—anything. But no sound came from her lips. She was filled with dread, and her body shook uncontrollably.

The man approached her, grinning lewdly and rubbing his hands together. He then began to touch her.

Under the drug’s effect, Caitlin’s limbs gave out completely. Her body collapsed like a puppet whose strings had been severed, utterly powerless and vulnerable.

The man’s fingers fumbled with her buttons, stripping her.

Each movement sent waves of dread through Caitlin, and she squeezed her eyes shut, praying for it all to stop.

Suddenly, a guttural groan filled her ear. The next second, the man collapsed onto her.

Startled and dazed, Caitlin hesitantly opened her eyes. Clayton was there, pushing the now-unconscious man off her.

“Caitlin?” Clayton called out softly. His voice was laced with what appeared to be worry, and his forehead was damp with sweat. He gave her a gentle shake. “Can you hear me? Do you have any strength?” Caitlin wanted to respond, to nod or even whisper that she was okay, but she felt very weak. Tears continued to flow freely down her face. Clayton quickly shrugged off his jacket and draped it around her exposed body with care. He then carefully lifted her into his arms.

Held gently in Clayton’s arms, Caitlin felt a strange sense of safety wrap around her. Her tears slowly stopped, and she muttered, “Thank you.”

Maybe due to the lingering effects of the drug, her voice sounded strangely suggestive. Realizing this, she quickly closed her mouth, her cheeks burning with embarrassment.

Clayton, however, didn’t seem to notice. His expression was stern. “It has to be Beth. As soon as I heard she brought you here, I had a bad feeling. I came as fast as I could. But since Kallie and I aren’t exactly on good terms, she refused to let me in. I had to find another way to reach you. Fortunately, I got here just in time. Everything is still alright.”

Caitlin wanted to tell him he was wrong, that Beth wasn’t the one behind this, but her voice got caught in her throat. She then clutched Clayton’s clothes tightly.

Clayton took the gesture for fear and wrapped his arms around her a little tighter. “It’s okay. You’re safe now. I’m getting you out of here. We’ll stop by the hospital first.”
