My Mute Wife

Lexie gritted her teeth and held back her emotions, [I don’t know.

“You don’t know? I just left from the hospital that day, left less than two hours before and after, went back and saw him alone passed out in bed, the room was full of blood, you didn’t know where you were, you didn’t know?”

[How is he doing now?

“Not good!” Flora’s tone intensified, “A comminuted fracture, the doctor’s recommendation is to amputate and install a prosthesis, do you know what that means for him?”

Lexie gritted her teeth to death and fought back the tears.

“What do you really think?”

[Sorry.]

“Is it useful to be sorry? What the hell are you doing? What are you going to continue to cover up for the Howard family and the Mitchell family when things have gone this far?”

[I’m still checking, you wait for me for a while.

“I can wait, Myles can’t,” Flora raged, “Lexie, I’ve seen how Myles treats you, he’s determined to get you out of the Howard family, even out of J City, but what are you doing? He got hurt and you can’t even tell me who did it?”

Lexie never mentioned it, a hand wrung red.

She can not say, the Howard family in J City’s status is extraordinary, although Flora is the deputy director of the Bureau of Investigation, but she even the Mitchell family this matter have to visit, everywhere scrupulous, not to mention the Howard family.

Lexie was well aware that it would take someone in a higher position, and more conclusive evidence, to bring Alan down.

“Good, you don’t know do you?” Flora slapped a piece of information on the table, “This is the lawsuit, I’m sure this is Alan’s doing, the prosecution is already involved, on the day of the trial I want you to come and testify, I don’t believe you have no conscience at all.”

“You’re on your own!”

With those words, Flora took off.

Lexie sits alone in the cafe, pale.

She drove to the hospital alone.

“The surgical plan needs to be signed by the family as soon as possible, and the sooner it’s done, the better the outcome will be.”

“My father is abroad and can’t come over for a while, and I’m not going to alarm them, I’ll just sign.”

Myles’ voice came from the ward, a little weak.

“She knocked on the door, but did not dare to enter.

“Lexie?” asked Myles, his gaze lifting from behind the doctor and landing on the doorway.

The doctor said, “Then think about it for a while, I’ll go out first.”

“Well, thank you, doctor.”

Myles patted the side of the bed, squeezing out a smile despite his weakness, “Why don’t you come in when you’re here, come sit down.”

Myles’ left leg was wrapped tightly and exposed outside the quilt.

As soon as Lexie saw him like this, her heart cracked, her nose got sore and tears fell down.

[Sorry.]

“Silly girl, what are you saying sorry to me? Don’t cry, it’s too ugly,” Myles raised his hand, but found that he couldn’t reach Lexie, the remaining section was only ten centimeters away, but it was like the end of the world.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

His complexion was much dimmer for a moment.

“Lexie, you can’t stay with the Howard family any longer, Alan is too dangerous a person.”

[I’m the one who got you into trouble.]

“It’s not your fault, I lost a leg, but it’s all still worth it if you stop in time, Lexie, come with me abroad, I can’t protect you here.”

This is the most impotent sentence Myles has uttered since he returned home.

He was once such a spirited teenager who felt that with a sense of justice, he could fight all the injustice in the world, but in front of reality, his light was silenced by the darkness without a sound.

A great sense of powerlessness came up from the bottom of my heart.

Lexie pinched her palm fiercely and was silent for a long time.

[Drop the charges, okay?

Myles blushed, “What did you say?”

[Drop the charges against Alan, you go abroad for treatment, and don’t come back.]

Lexie’s gaze was stoic, her reddened eyes pressed with sinking pain.

She knew how much the words hurt Myles, but she had to say them.

“Lexie, are you afraid of him? You’re threatened by him, aren’t you?” Myles suddenly got cranky, “Why should you be afraid of him? My law firm has the best lawyers in the country, and they all said that the evidence is overwhelming this time, and once the trial starts, Alan will definitely go to jail!”

[Impossible.]

“There is no impossibility, things happen!”

Myles struggled to grab Lexie’s arm, and the pain from the tear in his leg hit him, sending him back to the bed with a heavy thud.

Lexie scrambled to hold him up.

“Lexie! You have to divorce him!”

[No way! Myles, listen to me for once, okay? Drop the case. If you really want what’s best for me, you’ll drop the case!

“What if I don’t want to?”

The two men were at a standstill, and Lexie gritted her teeth for a long time.

[I’m in love with him, I can’t leave him, everything will be fine as long as you go].

Myles’ face took a sharp turn for the worse.

He grabbed Lexie’s arm, “No way! You could never fall in love with someone like that!”

Lexie’s face was surprisingly calm as she jerked her arm out with force.

[For the sake of friends, withdraw the complaint, thank you.

After saying this, she stood up, [Get some rest.

“Lexie!”

Myles’ voice echoed through the ward.

“With a clang, he fell off the bed.

Lexie’s hand clutching the door handle trembled hard, and finally gritted her teeth and closed the door and left without looking back.

She personally pushed away the only man in the world who truly loved and cherished her besides her grandmother, and was physically and mentally wounded.

Why have things come to this point?

She has no time to think, but to continue to go on, so that those who deserve retribution, all get the punishment they deserve, whether it is Peter, or Alan.

Over the weekend, Tina’s engagement party.

The ballroom was gilded and full of money.

Lexie had just finished processing the financial information in the morning and came alone.

“Lexie!”

It’s a familiar voice that Lexie has seen before.

Lydia Hunt, carrying the hem of her blue dress skirt, jogged over a few steps and said with a smile, “What took you so long to get here? Lexie, Alan is over there, let me take you to him!”

Lexie nodded her head.

The two of them were just about to leave when they ran into Tina and Edith Mitchell head-on.

Tina is today’s protagonist, a white evening gown sarong, the Howard family little princess of the faction full.

As soon as Tina saw Lexie, she rolled her eyes, “What a bummer.”

“Sis, you’re here too, huh?” Edith eyed Lexie and Lydia oddly, “I thought you weren’t coming today, everyone thought Alan was bringing his secretary to the engagement party.”

“Sis, how come you can’t even compare to a secretary now?”

Lexie clenched her fingers and had no words to retort.
