My Mute Bride

“Rest well at the hospital. I’ll ask my men to watch your ward 24/7, so you won’t be able to die,” Justin coldly mentioned before he left and closed the door with a loud slam, causing the room to shake a little.

It was pretty soon after that when Jennifer entered.

“Mrs. Burton, why are you still being so stubborn with Mr. Burton?”

Nevertheless, Rachel rested her head on the pillow as she remained silent.

Then, Jennifer rolled up Rachel’s bed and opened the thermal bottle that she brought. “Mr. Burton had someone prepare this chicken soup for you because he said that you’ll surely be hungry once you’re awake. You don’t even know how long you’ve been out cold and Mr. Burton has been guarding your side the entire time. Come on, have some soup.”

Yet, Rachel, who was pale, looked away.

Jennifer sighed. “Why would you torture yourself like this?”

Torture myself? Rachel wanted to laugh when she heard that. Am I the one torturing myself? For the past six months, is the humiliation that Justin brought upon me still not enough? I’m sick of giving up all my pride just to be humiliated. All I’ve wanted is to die but that can only be wishful thinking now.

It was in the afternoon when Amber entered Jefferey’s office with a document file.

“Miss Hudson, the president is still in a discussion. You can’t just enter as you wish.”

“Dad!!!”

The secretary looked anxious as Amber barged into the office while he was in the midst of a discussion with his client. “President, Miss Hudson insisted on entering and we couldn’t stop her.”

A frowning Jefferey apologized to his client, “That’s about it for the contract. I’ll arrange for someone to draft a new version of the contract as soon as possible.”

“Glad to work with you.”

After he sent the client off, Jefferey closed the door to his office and glared at Amber. “You’re getting even more outrageous now. Don’t you know that I was in a meeting? Do you know how bad the consequences are for barging in like this?”
