Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1472:

Caitlin gripped the scarf tightly and walked out slowly. She broke into a jog, her cheeks burning with humiliation under the weight of countless stares.

Watching from the sidelines, Beth kept pressing her. “What’s wrong with you? You’re moving so slowly that the scarf isn’t even fluttering! How is it supposed to dry like that? Pick up the pace!”

Already weak from hunger and exhaustion, Caitlin gasped for breath after only a few steps. However, Beth’s taunting words made her grit her teeth and push forward.

After just two laps, Caitlin couldn’t take it anymore. Her chest tightened, her breath came in ragged gasps, and the world around her began to blur.

Still, Beth showed no mercy. “Caitlin, what do you think you’re doing? If that scarf touches the ground and gets dirty, do you have millions to replace it? Or would you rather be my servant forever?”

Fear gripped Caitlin, urging her to pick up the pace. But in her rush, the effects of hypoglycemia took over, and she fainted.

Before completely passing out, Caitlin could still make out Beth’s angry screams. “Caitlin, what are you doing? Are you trying to destroy my scarf, you bitch! You’re going to…” But Beth’s yelling abruptly stopped.

Caitlin couldn’t tell if she had passed out completely and lost all sense of sound, or if Beth had just cut herself off.

When she regained consciousness, Caitlin was taken aback to find herself not on the floor, but resting comfortably on a couch. A wave of fear briefly swept over her. She was certain that Beth wouldn’t be so kind-hearted—there had to be some hidden agenda at play.

Without thinking, Caitlin tried to rise but felt weak and dizzy. Her struggle with low blood sugar persisted.noveldrama

Looking up, Caitlin saw the servants watching her, their faces marked by strange expressions—surprise, concern, and even fear were evident in their eyes.

Due to Beth’s influence, the Fletcher family’s staff had always scorned Caitlin.

As Caitlin pondered why they were looking at her this way, a buzzing sound caught her attention. Listening carefully, she realized it was the sound of a heated argument. The voices were familiar—unmistakably Clayton’s and Beth’s.

Clayton’s tone was icy, laden with reproach. “Beth, why are you treating her this way? Are you making her life hell just because of me? I never thought you could be this cruel.”

Beth sounded upset and furious. “How am I cruel? I just can’t stand her. We’re about to be married, and she keeps trying to seduce you. As a woman, I understand her intentions perfectly. Also, who told you I was mistreating her? She willingly took the offer as my servant. She just did her job.”

Clayton let out a cold laugh. “Do I need to call everyone here to get to the bottom of this? Do you take me for a fool?”

Beth fell silent, struck by a sense of unease. Indeed, her actions toward Caitlin had been overly harsh.

Slowly, Caitlin realized Clayton was defending her. But more than feeling grateful, she was filled with fear. Once Clayton left, would she suffer even more?

Above all, Caitlin didn’t want Clayton to be caught up in this. He had already done so much for her, and she didn’t want to be a burden to him.

With this in mind, Caitlin braced her frail body and slowly stood. As she did, something slipped off her.
