My Mute Bride

My Mute Bride Chapter 157

“Mrs. Burton, what’s wrong with you?” As soon as Jennifer saw Rachel’s pained appearance, she hurriedly went forward.

Rachel felt as if something was about to burst out of her brain as she frantically gripped her forehead, but she failed to suppress the pain. As she let out a cry of pain, she fell to the floor.

“Mrs. Burton!” Jennifer’s face paled with fear.

The colorful world suddenly turned black and white as time wildly receded to that scene in the isolated mountainous area more than twenty years ago, where birds and animals fluttered among the mountains and

forests…

The dream that had been with her for more than twenty years was gradually becoming clearer at this moment. At this moment, the gentle silhouette that had its back to her for twenty years slowly turned around.

The woman’s long hair hung over her shoulder as she revealed a warm smile and dimples on her cheeks. “Katie, didn’t I ask you to stay at home with Grandma? Why are you following me up the mountain again?”

Rachel’s lips vibrated. Despite the inability to make a sound, the memory of those children’s songs suddenly became incomparably clear to her with the name of each herb echoing in her ears.

“Mom, are we not going to pick herbs today?”

“Katie, we have guests at home. I have something to tell this man, so head out and play for a while. Grandma is at the back of the mountain, so go and find her, okay?”

“Okay!”
