My Mute Bride

My Mute Bride Chapter 23

“Clean up this place and pour another cup of tea,” ordered Sue.

After the woman left, Rachel fished her cell phone out of the kitchen sink. Unfortunately, the cell phone had been thoroughly submerged under water and could not be switched on anymore.

Rachel didn’t expect Amber to have the nerve to be so reckless in the Burton Residence. However, when she recalled how Amber had just acted like a spoiled child in front of Justin, she was somewhat saddened. It wasn’t because of Justin, but because she had seen Amber having her way in such a way as she grew up.

Amber will get whatever she wants as long as she acts like a spoiled child before the people around her. On the contrary, I… Never mind, everyone has their own destiny, she thought to herself. After putting her cell phone away, she gathered the porcelain shards and threw them into the garbage can without saying a word. Then, she dished up the desserts again, made the tea, and brought them to the living room.

At this moment, the servants had treated the wound on Amber’s hand. In reality, her injury wasn’t serious. It was merely a small cut made by the porcelain shards, and it had stopped bleeding while the servant was bandaging it, but Amber’s eyes were still teary. “It hurts so much, Justin. Is the wound not bandaged properly?”

Justin held her hand and looked at it carefully. Then, he replied impassively, “It’s not a big deal. If you’re worried, I’ll have someone take you to the hospital.”

“Will the wound be infected? I might have to get a tetanus shot.”

Rachel felt like laughing deep down inside upon hearing Amber’s words. The woman studied medicine herself, yet she pretended to be naive and ignorant.

“Why are you still standing over there, Rachel?” Sue snapped when she suddenly noticed Rachel coming out. “Not only are you mute, but you’re clumsy and oblivious as well. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and come over to apologize to Amber.”

Rachel was stunned. Why should she apologize? She didn’t do anything wrong. After putting down the desserts and the tea, she silently stepped to one side.

Sue refused to let her off, though. “Did you hear me telling you to apologize? Are you not only mute but also deaf?”

“Never mind, Madam Parham.” Amber leaned against Justin while assuming a magnanimous demeanor. “Rachel probably didn’t mean it.”
