The Silent Wife

“Nope.”

Samuel shook his head as he turned to the bedroom and added, “But Mr. Peters and Godmother came home with us, and they’re chatting outside right now. It sounds like they are talking about Daddy.”

“Quickly, go listen to what they’re saying.”

Hastily, Charlotte expressed, “Something big must have happened.”

Rolling out of the bed, Samuel tiptoed to the door and cracked it open before putting his ear against the thin gap. In the living room, Julian was seen to be applying some blood-circulating ointment on Rachel’s arm.

While doing that, he instructed, “Just rub it like this. Twice a day and the swelling will subside in two days.”

“Thanks.”

With an expressionless face, Rachel unrolled her sleeve. As she was doing that, Jolly furiously questioned, “Is Justin some kind of bruiser? Is he sick in the head? How dare he lay his hand on you under broad daylight! That man would have murdered you if we weren’t here!”

“He asked me about the safe box. He must’ve figured out something.”

Stunned, Jolly seemed to have understood something. “What did you say?”

Shaking her head, Rachel assured, “Nothing, and that’s how things ended up this way.”

Based on everything that had happened up until now, Justin would surely bar her from seeing Charlotte and himself and be overwhelmingly defensive against her.

In response, Jolly defended, “So what if you opened the safe box? What about the things he did in the past? He could be sent to jail for those!”

“Have you forgotten that he lost his memory? He doesn’t remember anything from the past.”

“How convenient. He’s taking advantage of his memory loss, yet you’re still defending him.”

Leering at Jolly, Julian blurted, “Calm down, Jolly.”
