The Silent Wife

Chapter 103

Rachel gritted her teeth as she held her despair in. I don’t know.

“You don’t know? I was gone for less than two hours, but he was already unconscious when I came back. Blood was everywhere, but you were nowhere to be seen. And you tell me you don’t know?”

How is he looking now?

“Take a guess, genius,” Janice growled. “Comminuted fracture. The doctor suggests getting his left leg amputated and replacing it with a prosthetic. Do you have any idea what this will cost him?”
