My Mute Bride

Chapter 55 The Reason for Staying

Hans replied firmly, “Of course!”

Without a doubt, he’d love to help her out so that she could live well. If not, he wouldn’t have decided to return to work in the country.

If so, you should just stay out of this.

“Why?” He frowned in utter disbelief.

If my guess is correct, the text was from Amber.

Amber’s warning was still fresh in her mind. If the Burtons and the Hudsons were a pool of mud, she was already knee-deep in it. She had no wish to get Hans involved in the mess.

“Amber Hudson?” His frown deepened. “Why would she do that?”

Back in high school, Amber was a grade lower since she was younger. Because of that, Hans did not interact with her much, and his only knowledge of her was her being Rachel’s sister.

Hans’ question took Rachel by surprise, and a bold guess popped up into her mind. She started to suspect that all the scheme was merely Amber’s plot to make her leave the Burtons.

I don’t know. Still, she kept the idea to herself.

“Rachel.” After calming down, Hans attempted to persuade her. “No matter who sent me the text, the content is a fact. Am I right? If the Burtons are unfair to you, you don’t have to stay with them and endure the sufferings.”

She shook her head.

I am not staying at the Burtons for their sake.

“Who are you doing this for?”

At this point, Hans did not get her at all.

Since Rachel’s grandmother had been discharged from the hospital after a successful surgery, as long as she agreed to it, she could totally leave the city that brought her sorrows with her grandma.

A short hesitation later, she finally confessed the real reason behind her insistence on staying put.
