Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 143: When Kallie woke up, her entire body ached.

Jake was nowhere in sight. Only a handful of caregivers bustled about her.

One noticed Kallie's open eyes and quickly approached. "Miss, you must rest and keep still. Your baby is doing just fine. You're incredibly fortunate. Despite the impact, there's no harm done to the baby." Confusion clouded Kallie's mind.

Hearing about her baby and recalling that Jake had taken her to the hospital sent her nerves spiraling.

Kallie began to gesture wildly, desperate to know Jake's whereabouts.

Luckily, the caregivers Jake had arranged were fluent in sign language and calmly explained to Kallie, “Mr. Reeves had urgent business elsewhere and has left.” Kallie felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. This was no dream. Jake had indeed taken her to the hospital, which meant he must have known about her pregnancy.

Kallie had always known that Jake might discover it one day, but she never anticipated it would be this soon. She was completely unprepared emotionally. How did Jake react? His absence from the hospital spoke volumes.

Consumed by anxiety, Kallie couldn't bear to stay another minute. She flung off her covers and tried to leave, but the caregivers immediately intervened.

One of them spoke with grave concern. "Miss, this is serious. You're not in any condition to be moving around. You need to rest." Kallie's face was ashen, her eyes wide with terror as she surveyed her surroundings. Too many things had happened. Her nerves frayed, and all she wanted was to flee to somewhere safe. She was tired of being at others' mercy.

Your source of stories: galThe thought of Jake forcing her to terminate the pregnancy was unbearable. What could she possibly do against him? In a moment of desperation, Kallie seized the IV tube and threatened to rip it out.

This action shocked everyone present.

With tears streaming down her face yet resolve in her eyes, Kallie motioned for them to let her go.

However, even after Kallie managed to leave the ward, escaping the hospital proved impossible. She was sedated and returned.

This time, the room was empty.

As the caregivers exited, one by one, Kallie heard the door lock behind them.

Kallie was overwhelmed by despair. It was like being trapped in a cage.

"That's basically the gist of it, Mr. Reeves, but I assure you, she wasn't hurt. While she was under, the doctors examined her. Other than semotional distress, she's completely fine." Jake's expression turned grim. "She woke up and immediately tried to leave?" "Yes," Edgar replied, detailing further. "The first question she asked after coming to was whether you had brought her to the hospital. It seems she still holds saffection for you. Her current behavior likely stems from fear and shock. Perhaps..." Edgar paused, gauging Jake's mood. Seeing no sign of anger, he ventured further, "Perhaps if you were by her side, she might not feel so frightened." Jake scoffed at the suggestion. "She's aware that I was the one who took her to the hospital, and she's trying to ve, disregarding her own health. Do you really think my presence would comfort her?" At this, Edgar found himself speechless.

Jake's expression hardened. “Haven't I made it clear I don't want to hear anything related to her? I did what was required by taking her to the hospital. She's fixated on divorcingand didn't even consider seeking my aid when she was captured and bullied. Why should I bother about her anymore?" Edgar sighed quietly, knowing Jake didn't mean his words, and attempted to steer the conversation elsewhere. "The doctor mentioned there's something important to discuss with you regarding her condition. Would you liketo set up a meeting?" Jake responded immediately, his voice firm. "I don't want to hear anything about Kallie. Understood?" "Understood," Edgar replied, his tone laced with frustration.

Jake had departed soon after bringing Kallie to the hospital. Although his actions suggested indifference, his earlier request for the doctor to keep Edgar informed about any updates betrayed his concern. Exasperation washed over Edgar. The stubbornness of both Jake and Kallie was immensely frustrating. Kallie continued to rest, sleeping through the day and night. Upon awakening, she felt significantly better.

Her attitude had shifted. She was now more cooperative, diligently following her treatment plan and taking her meals and medications on time.

Determined, Kallie had resolved to prioritize her health, regardless of Jake's intentions concerning their future or the baby. Her well-being was paramount.

In moments of idleness, Kallie's gaze would drift to the window, lost in the view outside.

Everything seemed calm and peaceful, yet inside Kallie, a slow, creeping sense of uncertainty was torturing her. Kallie stared at the hospital entrance until a familiar silhouette appeared. Her heart started pounding. It was none other than Jake.

Kallie leaped to her feet. She was resolved that, regardless of what Jake might be thinking, she needed answers. Kallie rushed to the hospital room door and banged on it. Shortly after, it swung open to reveal the sgroup of caregivers, who greeted her with polite expressions. "Do you need anything? We can assist with anything but discharge requests." Kallie shook her head, gesturing urgently that she had seen Jake at the hospital and needed to speak with him. The caregivers exchanged unsure looks, but eventually, they nodded in agreement.

Shortly thereafter, a message cthrough. Jake had agreed to meet He asked Kallie to wait in her room until someone would escort her to the doctor's office.

m With only half an hour until the appointment, Kallie's impatience grew. She She signaled to one of the caregivers that her matter was urgent and she wished to go immediately.

The caregiver, unable to dissuade Kallie, conceded. He escorted herto the medical center, and they arrived just as Jake was deep in conversation with the doctor. Kallie reached out to open the door but paused, deciding to wait instead.

The argument inside was loud enough that Kallie couldn't just ignore it.

"Are you certain she's pregnant?" Jake's voice cthrough.

"Yes, the test results confirm her pregnancy. Mr. Reeves, how do you intend to handle this?" the doctor asked. "Tell her that if she wants to stay, she has to get rid of the baby," Jake stated firmly, his decision clear.

Kallie's heart sank as she overheard the words. A chill ran through her veins, and she staggered slightly, struggling to maintain her composure.

From Kallie's perspective, Jake was shirking his responsibilities, opting for the easiest way out, suggesting an abortion.

Caressing her stomach, Kallie felt a powerful resolve flood through her. She was not about to give up her baby so easily.
