The Silent Wife

Chapter 234

After Rachel left the ward, Justin looked down at the back of his hand. Her warmth still lingered there from when she had smacked his hand away.

The sunset outside the window couldn’t have come at a better time, and the evening sun dyed the entire sky lovely warm hues. At that moment, Justin’s lips curved up into a shallow smile. A gentle warmth settled on his face, warming away the coldness.

People should look ahead, and the past was not important.

Justin wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but Rachel didn’t come back. He was about to press the buzzer and ask a nurse about this when Frankie suddenly knocked on the door and entered. “Mr. Burton.”

“Why are you in such a rush?”

Frankie was supposed to deliver some papers, but he had worked up a sweat running here. “I just came from the parking lot. I saw Miss Hudson being taken away by some people from the villa.”

Justin’s expression changed.

At the same time, Rachel was sitting inside a black Rolls-Royce with a spacious interior. The world outside the car zoomed past her.

The sound of a ringing tone reverberated inside the car. She gripped her phone and glanced at the old butler next to her.

“Can I take this phone call?” she asked, neither panicked nor comfortable with the situation.

When he saw the name ‘Julian’ on her phone screen, the butler nodded his head. “You may, Miss Hudson.”

Rachel answered the call and said, “Hello, Julian. Something has come up at the last moment, so I can’t go back with you. Sorry about this, but please pick up Charlotte and Samuel for me and send them home.”

Julian’s voice drifted over the speakers. There was a hint of anxiety in his voice. “Are you okay? Where are you now?”

“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”

Rachel never once mentioned that she had been kidnapped throughout the conversation.
