My Mute Bride

Chapter 45 Her Mother’s Cause of Death

Rachel had always been in a daze ever since she returned from the Hudson Family’s birthday banquet.

She went to the hospital the next morning.

“She always goes out every day. At this point, she might as well stay at the hospital.” Sue stood in front of the dining table as she glared at Rachel, but she didn’t stop Rachel.

“Madam, I don’t think you should worry too much about it since she definitely won’t last long with Mr. Burton,” Mrs. Duncan answered.

“Why do you think so?”

“The two of them are still sleeping in different rooms at this moment and if this woman can’t bear any child for him, they won’t last long even if they don’t hate each other. On top of that, she is a mute.”

Upon listening to Mrs. Duncan’s words, Sue subconsciously glanced upstairs and suddenly thought of something. “Then, if another woman bears his child, won’t this solve all of our problems?” she asked thoughtfully.

Inside the ward of Tran-Q, Nancy was recovering well and she could now begin to walk.

Rachel was accompanying Nancy while she ate her breakfast. Granny, can I ask you something?

“What is it?”

Last time, you told me that my dad brought me home because of something else. Wasn’t it because my mom passed away?

Nancy’s hand trembled slightly as she ate the porridge. “Why are you suddenly asking me this?”

Rachel gently smiled. In the past, I would get a headache whenever I tried to remember my childhood, so you always told me not to think about it. Now, I’ve completely forgotten everything. If I don’t ask you, I may not even remember what my mom looks like.

“Are you starting to miss your mom?” Nancy sighed as she pulled Rachel into her arms and patted the younger woman’s shoulder to comfort her. “Don’t think too much if you can’t remember. All you need to do is to be happy.”

As she leaned against her granny’s arms, Rachel was filled with mixed emotions.
