My Mute Bride Chapter 163

“I’ll get my men to check all the neighborhoods that are near a river.” Janice put the glass shard down, looking troubled. “But this will be a big project, so we might go a while without any clues.” If Rachel is locked up somewhere near a river, that means every neighborhood in Riverdale that is near a river is going to be on our list.

Upon hearing that, Gloria offered, “My friend can help. I’ll ask them.”

“No. That’s too conspicuous. You’d best lay low or Justin will know something’s up. It’s going to be a problem if he takes Rachel somewhere else.”

“I don’t think he will. He’s seriously injured.” The mention of Justin’s situation saddened Gloria. Even though everyone thought he was a cruel person, she couldn’t bring herself to agree. She was really worried for him when she knew he was injured.

Julian patted her shoulder to show solidarity as he shared her sentiment, after all. Justin was his cousin so even though they weren’t on the best of terms, he was still Julian’s family. “Don’t feel too pressured, Gloria. We’re not betraying him. Just trying to make sure he won’t do something he’ll regret for the rest of his life.”

Gloria nodded.

“Then that’s it for now. I’ll assemble the squad,” Janice said.

“Okay.”

The room was as dim as ever as there was only a small opening on the window that allowed sunlight to shine on the room. Rachel was watching some TV as usual, and a can of sour plums sat on the table before her. Aside from the TV, she had nothing that could connect her to the outside world.

Someone came to dispose of everything that had glass in it the day after Justin was injured. When Justin came himself, he saw a dozen or so plums lying on the table. “You like those plums? I’ll get Frankie to buy more tomorrow.”
