My Mute Bride

Rachel moved straight back to Nancy’s place without bringing much with her. When Nancy saw her coming back with all her luggage, she immediately realized that something was wrong. “Why are you moving back suddenly, Rachel? Did something happen?”

However, Rachel gave her no response. She washed her hands as she stood in the bathroom, rubbing soap on her palms again and again as if to wash something away.

“Are you trying to worry me to death, Rachel? If you keep doing this, I’ll give Dr. Peters a call.”

Suddenly, the woman came to her senses and stopped Nancy. Let’s move away from Riverdale, Grandma.

Nancy looked dumbfounded and stunned upon hearing this.

The next day, Victor put the suitcases into the trunk before clapping the dust off his hands. “Remember to give me a call when you and Madam Tiller arrive at the new place, Rachel. Tell me your address, and I’ll go to visit you two when I’m free.”

Rachel forced a smile while pointing at his unkempt blond hair. A student should behave like a student. Dyeing your hair back to black would suit you better, you know.

Victor scratched his head. “I’ll keep that in mind.” As the car slowly drove away from the neighborhood, he ran after the car, waved his hand, and shouted, “You have to call me, Rachel! I’ll definitely dye my hair black when I see you next time!”

The car soon disappeared at the neighborhood’s entrance, and Victor walked back in dejection. There were still some belongings in Nancy’s apartment, all of which Rachel had given to him.

As soon as Victor reached the entrance to the apartment building, he bumped into someone in a moment of inattention. “Hey!” The lady’s shrill voice was somewhat harsh to the ear. He frowned in displeasure and looked back, only to see a young lady hopping backward on crutches. Turns out that she’s a cripple, he thought to himself.

The lady glared at Victor. “Are you blind? Why don’t you watch where you’re going?”

Victor was miffed in the first place, so the lady’s words enraged him even more. He snapped, “Who are you accusing of being blind? Don’t you know how to speak properly?”

“What’s wrong with you? You look like an undesirable person. Are you really a resident of this neighborhood? Are you here to steal things?” Gloria asked. Suddenly, she realized something and immediately reached into her pocket. “Where’s my cell phone?”

“Me? Steal things?” Victor’s face was livid with rage. “Are you here to fake an accident to blackmail me?”
