My Mute Bride

Julian was driving back to the city from the suburbs. Not long after he exited the compound, he saw a malicious-looking man on the passenger’s seat of a van that passed him by.

At first, he didn’t pay heed to it, but he started feeling uneasy after he went on for some distance.

All the people in the van wore black. What could their business in the suburbs be at midnight?

“Pardon, the number that you have dialed cannot be reached. Please call…”

Both Victor and Gloria couldn’t be reached by their phones.

At once, he made a U-turn and headed back toward the villa.

By the time he arrived, the villa was in a mess.

The bodyguards were on the ground, defeated and in pain. Rushing into the bedroom, he was met with a sight of Gloria and Victor passed out on the floor, and Rachel sitting in a pool of blood at the corner of the room.

“Rachel!”

The lights on the operating table were bright and blinding.

The sound of machines colliding rang in her ears, yet she was still too weak to open her eyes. She could only hear the sound of the doctor and nurses speaking by her side.

The moment her body was cut open, the pain that she initially felt numb to suddenly soared once again. The stimulation to her pain-receptor nerves was so unbearable she was about to pass out.

At this moment, she felt like she was diving into an abyss. Every time she felt like she was about to drown and die, she would get a breath of air only to drown again.

It went on and on.

By the time Justin rushed to the hospital, it was already the wee hours of the next day.

“How is she?”

He held onto Julian hastily.

With an expressionless face, Julian told him, “This child is gone.”

The four words were like a hammer that was slammed down on Justin’s heart.

The look in his eyes wavered as he staggered a few steps back. Leaning against the wall, he was in utter disbelief.
