The Revenge of the Mute Wife Chapter 72
Deborah had a broad smile on her face as she left the doctor's office with Jayden. The examination revealed that the damage to her throat wasn't severe enough to require a risky surgery. "Technology has helped medicine a lot. This non-surgical operation is something new to me," Jayden remarked as they exited the building. [It certainly would be faster to have the surgery but I don’t want to do it because of the baby. According to the doctor, he’ll carefully remove the tissue blocking my vocal cords bit by bit, trying not to reopen the wound.] "That sounds complicated, but you seem very happy and excited about it." [I’ve been longing to hear words that give me hope for years.] "You know, now I'm going to be jealous of the doctor," Jayden commented as he opened the car door for her. [What? Why?] Deborah asked playfully as Jayden got into the car. "Because I’ve never seen that radiant smile on you before," Jayden said while buckling his seatbelt. [I’m just thrilled to rega

[It’s you!] Deborah ran to hug the redhead, a wide smile on her face. "You’ve really grown. You’re not the little girl I remember," the redhead said, amused, as he returned the hug. Jayden felt a twinge of jealousy at the sight, although the man seemed somewhat older. Caroline, on the other hand, sighed and smiled, recognizing the person. It was time to reveal the truth. Meanwhile, Elliot and Christian watched the scene intently. "Dad, who is he?" Elliot asked, eyeing the redhead curiously. "He’s a friend,” said George. "You know, I’m surprised you recognized me," the redhead said, pulling away from the hug. [It’s because you haven’t changed much.] "Oh, that’s a compliment. But you know, I haven't changed because I stole the fountain of youth," the man joked, making Deborah laugh. Jayden cleared his throat, frowning at the redhead. "And you are...?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. [Right, guys, let me introduce you to Nicholas. He was my grandfather’s best apprentice at

"That’s true, you’re your mom’s spitting image," Caroline said, leaning in to look at the photo. "Let me see," Elliot requested. "Yes, Deborah is the living image of Alexandra," Nicholas commented amusedly. "By the way, Christian..." "Yes?" Christian replied, also looking at the photo. "I heard from George that you’re looking into crushing those usurping worms," Nicholas said, looking Christian in the eye. "But if you’re relying on that old will, you won’t win." "Old will?" Christian repeated, surprised. "I think you’re mistaken, Nicholas. The copy I got was from the government archives and..." He trailed off as Nicholas handed him a folder to read. "It’s a fake will. It was created with specific terms to catch Frederick’s attention and keep him busy trying to circumvent them." "But... wait, this date..." Christian said, noticing the detail. [What’s wrong?] Deborah asked. "As a lawyer, you know that the most recent will is the valid one," George explained. "The one yo

Deborah was stunned by what she had just heard. "And to clear up that nasty accusation from earlier, I never neglected you... What I did was ask someone very special to take on that task." [What...?] "Someone's been watching over Deborah?" Jayden asked, raising an eyebrow. "Not exactly," Nicholas replied, pointing to Caroline. "I couldn't approach you directly to help because Frederick was too close. So, I asked my niece for help." [Niece…] Deborah looked at her friend, who simply smiled. "Yeah, my mom is his sister," Caroline said, stepping closer. "But before you think or do anything crazy, let me tell you that he asked me to become your friend and take care of you. Over time, though, I did it because I wanted to, not because I had to. I like you, Deborah, and you're my best friend," she said, taking Deborah's hands and looking into her eyes. Deborah was amazed by what she heard, but when she felt her friend trembling slightly and saw the fear in her eyes, Deborah simpl

Sophia felt a mix of anger and anxiety. It had been four days since she kicked out that idiot Roger, and he still hadn't returned to see her. Adding to her frustration, she found out that the medical bill hadn't been paid—the hospital was now threatening to call the police if it wasn't settled soon. "This has to be a joke! You kill your own child and now you abandon me?" She fumed, waiting for Roger to answer her call. "Damn it, pick up!" "I told you not to push him too hard," her friend mocked from beside her, flipping through a magazine. "Shut up. He loves me and owes me his life and eternal gratitude." "Doubtful. Maybe he's not coming to see you because his mom already told him the truth about your lie." Sophia hung up after the tenth unanswered call, gripped the phone tightly, and snapped at her friend, "You know, I didn't ask for your opinion." "Why don't you just use some of the money you stole from him and pay it off?" Sophia’s friend asked. "Why don’t you pay my h

"A house?" Sophia repeated, excitement lighting up her face. "That's fantastic, honey!" "Yeah, I convinced my father to give me another chance so he bought me a new house to live in." "That's wonderful, honey. It means you'll slowly get back everything that belongs to us and—" "Us?" Roger raised an eyebrow, his tone turning mocking. "What are you talking about?" "Well—" "Sophia, I'm moving out. As for you... I don't care what you do from now on." "Roger, are you abandoning me now that we lost our baby?" "What baby?" "What do you mean, 'what baby?' Our child, the one I lost because of that stupid argument." "All I remember is you faking a faint and spilling blood on my expensive carpet." "What…?" Sophia looked at him, shocked and slightly angry. "How can you talk like that about my miscarriage?" she shouted, starting to cry. "Sophia, I won't fall for your bad acting," Roger said, frowning. "You should know that while you were asleep, another doctor examined you and
The Revenge of the Mute Wife Chapter 78
Since the meeting with Nicholas and George, a week had passed. Things got more complicated as Christian and Caroline formulated a new plan against the Andersons. ‘Why does everything have to be so complicated?’ Deborah thought, letting out a sigh as she stood up to stretch a bit after working on her computer. Everyone had been busy with paperwork, silently reclaiming all her family’s properties and putting them under James’s name. The plan was to attack Frederick and his family legally later on. While the plan made sense to her, it also filled her with fear. Putting everything in her son’s name was risky, just like Alexandra did with her. Coupled with Frederick’s greed, her mother ended up dead. What if Deborah suffered the same fate as her mother? What would happen to her baby? Would James be handed over to Frederick with the pathetic excuse of being his grandfather? Would they give him to Vanessa to raise? Deborah doubted Vanessa would ever care for the baby with love and ten

Jayden looked at the pin in amazement before a broad smile spread across his lips. "Of course, I accept being James's dad," he said, taking the accessory and pinning it to his shirt. He leaned in to kiss Deborah's lips. "You’re such a tease, you scared me." [Huh? What are you talking about?] Deborah asked with confusion in her eyes. "It’s just that when you came over with the box, I thought you were going to propose to me." [Oh, no. It was just the perfect box I found to put the pin in.] "Good. I thought you had outdone me and ruined my plan." [What?] "Ah… nothing, my love," Jayden said quickly, laughing nervously as he mentally scolded himself for almost ruining his own plans. "Um, well, as James's official dad, how about we go to the company tomorrow to look at the catalog for children's room decorations?" [I like that idea.] "Yay, we have plans for tomorrow. And also, do you remember tonight’s plan?" [Yes, my love. Later, we’re going to have dinner at your parent
