My Mute Wife

After returning from the Mitchell family’s birthday banquet, Lexie had been distracted.

She left for the hospital early the next morning.

“Day in and day out, just live in the hospita,” Diana stood in front of the dining table and said angrily.

Marry said, “Madam, don’t worry, Mr. Alan will divorce her soon.”

“How so?”

“Even now they are still sleeping in separate rooms, if woman doesn’t have a child, the relationship can last lone, let alone the fact that she is a mute.”

Hearing that, Diana subconsciously glanced upstairs, suddenly thought of something and said meaningfully, “Then if another woman has a child, won’t the problem be solved?”

In the inpatient unit of Renhe Hospital, Grandma was recovering well and able to get out of bed and walk around.

Lexie was in the hospital room eating breakfast with her grandma.

[Grandma, I have a question.]

“What is it?”

[You said last time that my dad took me home because of something else, not because my mom died?]

Grandmother’s hand paused, “Why do you suddenly want to ask this?”

Lexie smiled gently, [I used to get a headache when I thought about my childhood, then you always told me not to think about it, and I’ve forgotten all about it now. If I don’t ask, I won’t even remember what my mother looked like].

“You miss your mother, right?” Grandma sighed and took Lexie into her arms, patting her shoulder to comfort her, “Don’t think too much about it, since you can’t remember, just be happy.”

Lexie leaned into her grandmother’s arms with a complicated look.

[Grandma, my dad told me that my mom died in a car accident.]

Grandmother looked gloomy and silent.

Because of her status as an illegitimate daughter, Lexie rarely had the chance to be able to mention her birth mother, whether it was in front of Peter or in front of the rest of the Mitchell family.

The fact that her mother died in a car accident was the one she heard the most.

“That’s right.”

Grandma’s voice was obscure and reluctant.

Lexie straightened up, [But you told me before that my voice was burnt from a fire in the mountain forest, mom had been living with us, and a car can’t go there, how could there be a car accident?]This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Even if she didn’t have any recollection of it, she had heard her grandmother talk about it many times.

Before being picked up by the Mitchell family, she and her grandmother and mother lived in a remote mountainous area where there were not even roads and cars could not drive in at all, so when there was a sudden mountain fire, the fire brigade could not even get in.

Grandma inclined her face, clearly avoiding the question, “Why are you suddenly asking this today?”

Lexie tugged at her grandmother’s sleeve and tried to get her to look up at herself and talk.

“Lexie, I’m tired and want to sleep.” Grandma’s voice was hoarse as she laid down.

Seeing that, Lexie didn’t dare to ask any more questions.

Ever since she was a child, her grandmother had rarely mentioned her mother, and now that she was in poor health, Lexie was even more afraid to stimulate her.

Especially when she had already established that the cause of his mother’s death back then was definitely not an accident.

After Grandma slept, Lexie closed the door and went out.

“Lexie,” She met Kevin who had just come to work, “why are you here so early today?”

He had originally wanted to bring her her, but was informed by Diana that Lexie had left early in the morning.

Lexie just nodded and gave a forced smile.

“What’s wrong? What’s bothering you?”

Lexie shook her head.

“Is it about the rental?” Kevin inquired with concern.

Lexie was not in a position to explain too much and simply nodded.

Think of it as a rental thing, and indeed renting was enough of a headache for her.

Kevin smiled, “You don’t have to worry about that, I’ve arranged it for you.”

Lexie looked staggered.

It had been arranged?

“The World Trade New Town one kilometer from Renhe Hospital.” Once he entered the door of the department, Kevin put the key on his desk and showed the photo to Lexie.

“It has two bedrooms, it’s a house of my friend. He’s going abroad for his PhD for two years, so it’s vacant.”

Lexie didn’t even look at it and shook her head directly, [Your friend’s house is not appropriate for grandma to live in.]

“Don’t worry, I already talked to my friend, he said the price doesn’t matter, just don’t damage those furniture of his.”

Lexie was still hesitating, but Kevin had already taken out the rental contract, “It has gone through the formal process, I am just doing a favor, don’t have pressure.”

Since so, Lexie felt embarrassed to refuse.

Kevin had already helped her a lot, but Lexie knew very well that she should stay away from him.

[Thanks, but I can’t take it.]

Lexie returned the contract with a determined look, [Dr. Stewart, my grandma will be discharged from the hospital after some time, I will find a house on my own. Thank you for taking care of me and grandma all this time.]

Kevin’s expression darkened, “You don’t have to be so polite with me.”

Lexie shook her head, clenched the note, got up and was ready to leave.

Kevin knew nothing he could say would help.

Looking at Lexie’s leaving figure, he felt lost.

He’d never wanted to help a girl so badly as he did now, and he’d never been so frustrated for she had turned down his help.

Intuition told him that Lexie was avoiding him.

It was already late in the afternoon when Jack entered Alan’s office with a document in hand.

“Mr. Alan, here’s the investigation report you asked for.”

Alan nodded slightly, flipping through the documents while instructing, “Say it.”

“It is urgent, there are still specific details that I haven’t been able to verify, but we found out that the woman who died in the car accident is not Miss Mitchell’s mother.”

Alan glanced up at him, “Go on.”

“The age is wrong, the woman was twenty-three when she died unexpectedly, but Miss Mitchell was eight years old when she was picked up and brought back to the Mitchell family.”

Alan’s gaze was cold as he said, “That doesn’t say much.”

Peter might have some special fetish to make a fifteen year old woman get pregnant.

“It’s not just about age, there is something that has been overlooked before, Miss Mitchell’s grandma.”

Alan’s gaze landed on the document, just in time to see the column on the identity of Lexie’s grandma.

Jack said, “Miss Mitchell’s grandmother’s hometown is Laoshan, and this woman who died in a car accident has nothing to do with it.”

Laoshan?

Alan’s hand suddenly trembled, and he frowned.

Jack suddenly realized something and his face froze violently.

He forgot that the place that could not be mentioned most before his boss was Laoshan.

In the biggest abduction case in J City that year, Alan was abducted by human traffickers, causing him to almost die in Laoshan.
