Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1491:

With that, he pulled his jacket up to cover her head, so no one could see her face.noveldrama

As Clayton rushed out with Caitlin in his arms, he saw two people at the door. He paused just long enough to flash them a slight smile.

The two people responded with bright smiles and deep bows, expressing their gratitude to Clayton. Clayton’s expression was all the confirmation they needed to continue.

They knew they had carried out their task perfectly. Now, they only had to wait for their payment.

Had Caitlin’s head not been covered, she might have recognized that the two people were the same ones she had overheard talking earlier. Clueless about the truth, all Caitlin saw was her hero. Clayton was the man who had saved her when she desperately needed help.

Soon enough, Caitlin was in Clayton’s car, relieved to have left Kallie’s house. She wasn’t sure if it was just in her mind, but a faint sense of strength seemed to be returning to her body.

Clayton made sure Caitlin was properly covered, adjusting the jacket with care while keeping a respectful distance between them.

His thoughtfulness touched Caitlin’s heart. Though her cheeks remained flushed, she was slowly starting to feel like herself again. When she finally spoke, her voice came out low and hoarse. “Mr. Morgan, I don’t think Miss Fletcher was behind what happened today. Please don’t blame her for it.”

It wasn’t that Caitlin wanted to defend Beth. She just couldn’t allow a misunderstanding to fester between Beth and Clayton because of her. Staying silent and letting Clayton get the wrong idea wasn’t an option.

Clayton’s eyes darkened slightly. “Don’t try to defend her. If she’s responsible, then she should be held accountable.”

Caitlin quickly shook her head in protest. “No, no, it truly wasn’t her doing. I heard everything clearly today. It might involve someone else.” Caitlin’s sadness deepened. She couldn’t bear the thought that Kallie had tried to hurt her.

“Who?” Clayton’s gaze fixed on Caitlin.

Caitlin merely bit her lip and stayed silent, her eyes brimming with tears.

Clayton let out a sigh and softly patted Caitlin’s head. “Just look at you. You’re trying so hard to clear Beth’s name, but you can’t bring yourself to name anyone else. From where I stand, Beth is still the most obvious suspect. Who else would go this far?”

Tears began to overflow from Caitlin’s eyes, cascading down her cheeks, but she made no move to wipe them away. She had nothing on now but Clayton’s jacket. Any small movement could expose her body. So, she allowed her tears to flow freely.

Clayton reached out slowly and brushed the tears trailing down her cheeks. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have pressed you like that. You’ve been through so much.”

“Let’s focus on getting you to the hospital first, okay? Asking you these questions is just adding to your stress.” Caitlin started to nod, but another wave of dizziness washed over her.
