My Mute Wife

The phone was hung up and Lexie was shaking all over as she hurriedly called back.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is an empty number …”

She ‘ah’d’ several times at the TV wall, and the large living room echoed with hoarse sounds.

The mind buzzes.

Alan …

Alan is now the only person who can save Grandma.

She ran outside almost without thinking.

Hotel lobby on the first floor.

As soon as Lexie got off the elevator, she saw Alan get into a car at the door.

She went after them like crazy.

“Ahhhhhh”

Lexie tried to call out to Alan, but no sound came out of her throat, and she watched as the black car drove away from the door.

She chased after the car with her bare feet, as if she could not feel the pain drilling in the bottom of her feet, and kept chasing the sedan to the street, desperately.

The car stopped at the traffic light intersection, looking to catch up when Lexie’s knees went weak, the whole person fell toward the ground, instant blackness in front of his eyes.

The intense pain spread from her knees throughout her body, and she barely had the strength to lift her head, curled up on the side of the road like a dying shrimp.

Passersby pointing.

“What happened to that guy?”

“I don’t know, should I call the police?”

“It’s a girl.”

“Is it a car accident, how come you’re not even wearing shoes?”

“…”

I don’t know how long it took, but a male voice came over the chaos of people, “Ma’am?”

Lexie’s brain went ‘buzz’.

“Mr. Howard, it’s Mrs.!”

Jack shouted sharply towards behind him.

When Lexie looked up, the tall figure was striding towards her through the crowd.

The moment they looked at each other, Alan’s cold, frosty face was now screwed up, “You don’t want to die? Chasing a car on the road?”

[Please, save grandma.

Lexie lay at Alan’s feet, holding back the pain and gesturing toward him for help.

Alan’s brow frowned fiercely, a touch of heartache almost overflowed from the bottom of the cold eyes, not to say that she picked her up and quickly folded back to the car.

“Go back to the hotel and call a doctor.”

“Yes, Mr. Howard.”

Lexie’s knees, elbows, soles of feet are all wounds, the doctor treated for a while, half of the blood alcohol cotton balls and gauze thrown in the trash.

“It’s nothing serious, it’s just a trauma, just be careful not to touch the water to prevent infection.”

“Thank you, doctor.”

Jack sends the doctor out.

“Mr. Howard, there’s something fishy about this.”

“Something fishy is big.”

Alan sunken face, “we just confirmed the winning bid, the foot after someone in J City kidnapped the grandmother threatened us to withdraw the bid, the biggest suspect is our opposite the two.”

“But which family moved the hand?”

“That depends on which one of them knows more about me.”

Threatening him to withdraw the bid, not to arrest the Howard family, not to arrest his rightful fianc?? e, but to arrest the rumors of the most cold ex-wife’s grandmother, this turn is too big.

“In your opinion, which one is it, Jin Mao Group?”

“I’m afraid it’s neither.”

Jack was stunned, “Neither?”

“Go check out what my second uncle has been up to lately.”

The words fell, Jack instantly enlightened, “I’m going to check.”

Lexie was awakened by a nightmare.

When she woke up it was completely dark, she sat up violently from the bed, her cheeks were stained with cold sweat, her broken hair was messy on her face, and her whole body was pale and frightening.

“Awake?”

A man’s voice came from the bed.

Lexie snapped out of it.

How is grandma? Did you save grandma?

“I’ve asked Jack to take care of the rescue, and the police should have the results soon.”

Police?

Lexie blanched.

[No police!

Absolutely no police should be called.

If the kidnappers were alerted, grandma would be dead.

“What can I do that the police can’t do?”

Alan’s glib tone was so cold that Lexie felt as if she had just seen it in a nightmare.

In the dim light, she gritted her teeth and lifted the covers, ignoring the pain in her knees and feet, and fell to her knees in front of Alan, tears instantly coming out of her eyes.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

I can’t afford to lose her.

At this moment, she put down all her dignity, [The other party said that if you are willing to give up the tender of L City, grandma will be safe!

She choked up, tears couldn’t stop falling, and her eyes were red.

Alan pinched her chin, without a trace of movement in his cold eyes, and said coldly, “When you put the monitor in my study, why didn’t you think to ask me?”

A listener?

He found out?

Alan raised his hand and the phone fell on the carpet in front of her, and the recording inside the phone played out.

It was the entire conversation in the study where Alan and Mr. Jorden traded.

Lexie’s face was instantly ashen.

After sending it to Flora, she forgot to delete the original recording from her phone, and Alan actually looked at her phone.

Alan pinched her cheek hard, forcing her to look up at himself as she cried out in pain, “Tell me, what do you want?”

“I can’t believe I didn’t know that you had so much guts.”

“Who did you give this recording to?”

Lexie gritted her teeth so hard that blood froth ground out of the corners of her lips.

[No, I didn’t give it to anyone, I really didn’t give it to anyone!

She knew very well that once she admitted it, her grandmother would be hopeless.

“So what are you bugging for? Curious?”

Alan’s voice snapped up, “Do you think I’m stupid? That I’ve been too patient and indulgent with you?”

In order for Jack to find out the source of the kidnapper’s calls received by Lexie as soon as possible, he touches Lexie’s cell phone, but he does not expect a lot of unexpected gains.

The moment this recording appeared, it knocked the pity out of his heart.

Lexie had nothing more to say, and she stared at Alan with one eye in despair.

Even if she has to die, she can just ask him to save her grandma.

Those eyes overflowed with watery mist, imprinted in Alan’s eyes, somewhere in his heart suddenly touched.

Alan was suddenly annoyed and threw her away to go out alone, and just as he took a step, his foot tripped.

Looking down she saw Lexie prostrate at her feet and was clinging to his leg for dear life.

[Please save grandma, I beg you].

“Why should I save her? What kind of person is she to me? Worth me giving up a hundred million dollar project?”

Alan impatiently shook her off and coldly dropped the words, “Stay here honestly, you’re not going anywhere without my permission.”

After a loud ‘bang’, the room fell into a dead-like silence.

Lexie ran like crazy to smash the door, hissing out a hoarse, unpleasant voice, but always only a ‘ah’ word, all the anger and despair all drowned in the throat.
