My Mute Bride

“Mrs. Burton, your wounds…”

As the maid attended to Rachel’s bath, she was shocked to see the numerous injuries on Rachel’s body.

Rachel had sustained all those wounds while she was in Brookeville and she didn’t take proper care of them nowadays; this was why they were infected and inflamed.

However, she didn’t seem like she cared. She simply lay in the bathtub and stared at the lights above her.

The light from the ceiling lights cast flickering shadows, making her dizzy. Everything that happened in the past half year replayed itself like a movie in her head.

At first, she wanted to get Nancy’s sickness treated, which was why she was forced to marry Justin in Amber’s place. However, it was exactly because of her lingering ties with him that caused Nancy’s death in the end.

At the end of the cycle, Rachel felt like everything she did was for naught.

After Rachel emerged from the bath, the maid helped her to the bed and to rest on her back. “Mrs. Burton, rest well. Young Master Justin went out moments ago and we’re not sure whether he will be back tonight.”

Upon tearing that, Rachel covered herself with a blanket and made herself comfortable. She didn’t have the slightest curiosity on where Justin went.

When the maid saw that, she sighed and left, closing the door after her.

Meanwhile, the night breeze was blowing on the river bank.

After hearing the sound of a car motor, Amber immediately turned around. “Justin.”

He wore a jet black suit and seemed to melt into the dark night. “Where’s the item?”

She gritted her teeth. “I brought it, alright, but Justin, don’t you think you owe me an explanation? I went around and worked tirelessly these few days for your sake, but the moment you were released, you looked for Rachel instead. If you really can’t let go of her, why bother getting engaged with me?”

“Because you are Amber Hudson.” The look in Justin’s eyes was unfazed. “Right from the start, the one I am supposed to marry is you, not her.”

Amber was stunned.
