My Mute Bride

Chapter 331 It’s Too Late for Regrets

Irwin trembled as he continued, “I treated Rae like my own granddaughter. She wept so hard and insisted that I release you. I thought… I was thinking that it wouldn’t be easy to deal with a ten-year-old child, anyway. If you were released, then so be it. Besides, it’s impossible for you to escape far in the forest located so deep in the mountains. You could never go home—”

Before he could finish speaking, Justin suddenly lifted him up by his neck. “What the hell are you talking about!? The person who rescued me was a little girl named Katie! How could it have been Rae?!”

The man was shaken so badly that he could barely breathe. “Rae… is Katie…”

Those words were undoubtedly a huge shock that exploded violently in Justin’s mind. Rae is Katie?! That’s impossible! “Explain clearly!”

“President Burton, he has already passed out!” Frankie saw what had happened from the side and quickly stepped forward to stop Justin. He was afraid that if things were to continue, it would only lead to the man’s death. “Hurry up and send him to the hospital.”

Irwin was an old man. Moreover, he was bleeding non-stop from where his finger had been chopped. If they did not send him to the hospital soon, there was a high possibility that he could die from extreme loss of blood.

Justin snapped back to his senses. “Send him to the hospital! Contact the hospital!”

This old man is the only person who knows the truth of what happened back then. I can’t let him die. His hands were covered in blood and his thoughts were a chaotic mess while they were on the way to the hospital. How could Rachel be Katie?

All the clues from the past suddenly surfaced in his mind. Rachel had been kidnapped and sold when she was a little girl. Her grandmother had a good relationship with Irwin as the two of them were neighbors. Jefferey brought back an illegitimate daughter twenty years ago and claimed that she was a congenital mute…

Along the corridor in the hospital, Frankie hurried over with a document in his hand. “President Burton, this is the hospital’s medical records.”

Justin took the documents. His complexion immediately turned pale at the sight of Rachel’s name on the document. After pursuing the medical records written inside, he stumbled without any warning and had to lean against the wall just to barely maintain his balance.

Rachel’s muteness was not congenital. The cause for her condition was clearly written on the medical record—she had sustained damage to her vocal cords in a fire twenty years ago. The record also contained the signature of her attending doctor, Julian Peters.
