My Mute Bride

When Rachel exited the hospital, the sky was already dark.

“Rachel?”

A familiar voice from behind her caught her by surprise. Instinctively, she turned around and saw Janice.

The woman was holding a thermal container and had just left the parking lot. She seemed to be walking toward the inpatient department.

“Have you come to see Hans?”

Rachel shook her head and frowned.

There’s something I have to deal with here.

“To think I expected you to have thought it through.” Suddenly, Janice’s face turned gloomy. “What did you say to Hans that made him drop the lawsuit out of nowhere? He’s returning for further treatment at the end of the month.”

However, Rachel revealed nothing.

Despite the guilt in her heart, she didn’t know how to explain things to Janice. Perhaps in this case, saying nothing was the best choice as a late apology could never justify one’s mistakes.

“Where are you headed to?”

Home.

Janice nodded her head and said, “I see. Coincidentally, Hans wanted me to hand you something, but since you’re already here, why don’t you go and get it from him instead?”

Upon hearing that, Rachel was taken aback.

When she saw how the woman hesitated, Janice vented her frustration and said, “He’s leaving soon. Aren’t you going to see him even for a bit? Where’s your heart, Rachel?”

I don’t mean it like that.

“In that case, what are you waiting for?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Janice put the container in Rachel’s hand.

With that, Rachel entered the ward with the container in hand.

Janice was right-Hans was leaving soon, and it was only right for her to see him for one last time.

In the ward, Hans was seen reading a book by the window while sitting in a wheelchair-the sight pained her deeply.

When she saw him, Rachel zoned out and stood by the door for a long while.
