My Mute Bride

After a long while of dry heaving, Rachel suddenly lifted her head at Julian’s question.

Following his line of sight, she lowered her head to see her abdomen. In that instant, she zoned out as if she had just realized something.

Meanwhile, Justin was taking care of Gloria in the ward.

After getting anesthetized the night before, she finally woke up. Seeing the man that was snoozing beside her, she carefully lifted her hand and caressed his face.

Justin opened his eyes. “You’re awake.”

Gloria hastily withdrew her hand as she trembled and gasped.

“Don’t move, they’ve put a cast on your leg.” Justin pressed her shoulders and continued, “The doctor said that you should rest more, but don’t worry, it’s nothing serious.”

After nodding her head, she rested against the pillow and turned to Justin.

“Something was wrong with the horse I rode.”

“I know. I’ve sent my men to look into it.”

“The horse was meant to be ridden by Rachel, so whoever did it wasn’t actually targeting me.”

Upon hearing that, Justin’s eyebrows furrowed somewhat. “Are you saying that someone wants to cause Rachel harm?”

“Yes.”

After letting out a deep sigh, Gloria lifted her head and lowered it back down into a more comfortable position. “Many people hate seeing her hanging around you. Even though I haven’t been in Riverdale for long, I’ve seen numerous people who detest her, but I cannot tell who the suspect might possibly be.”

“Don’t worry, they’ll figure it out.”

After covering her with the sheets, Justin then informed, “I’ll go get the doctor.”

Just as he was about to leave, Gloria suddenly grabbed his wrist. “Justin.”

He was slightly dazed by this and asked, “What is it?”

Gloria’s eyes were filled with a sense of dependence as she asked, “You will never abandon me no matter what happens, right?”

Justin’s gaze was firm as he held her hand and answered, “Never.”
