Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 870:

Brysen instinctively dropped to her knees, bowing her head submissively. Neal felt no pity for her, only a surge of twisted satisfaction.

“Good girl. Keep this up, and I might even let you eat today,” he sneered.

With that, Neal pulled Brysen along and marched off to arrange for her discharge.

The nurse eyed Brysen and Neal suspiciously.

“The doctor recommended that the patient stay for observation, especially since her external injuries haven’t fully healed yet.”

“Plus, Miss Nixon has already paid for a month’s stay. So there’s no need to worry about the cost.”

Neal flashed a charming smile at the nurse as he gestured toward Brysen.

“I’m her boyfriend,” he explained.

“I’ve already discussed it with Miss Nixon, and we both agree that she should recover at home with me. Besides, she hates hospitals.”

The nurse was still hesitant.

“But her injuries haven’t healed.”

Neal’s smile vanished, and his voice hardened.

“I said she wanted to leave the hospital. Why are you giving me so much trouble? I’m her fiancée! I have the right to make decisions about her care!” he snapped.

The nurse, feeling stuck, turned to Brysen.

“Ma’am, do you want to be discharged? We strongly recommend staying until you’ve fully recovered.”

Neal clenched his fists, shooting Brysen a threatening look.

Brysen felt Neal’s eyes on her, and a wave of terror washed over her. Memories, dark and suffocating, flooded her mind. Brysen felt a surge of humiliation so intense that she almost fainted. But she knew she couldn’t give in. If she provoked Neal, who knew what he might do to her?

Meeting the nurse’s encouraging gaze, Brysen shook her head and shrank behind Neal, silently agreeing to the discharge.

Since Brysen was determined to leave, the nurse couldn’t stop her. The discharge paperwork was completed quickly.

As Brysen walked out with Neal, the nurse shook her head and muttered to herself, “That guy seems like a real hothead.”

“I don’t see how he’s going to take care of her. Something doesn’t seem right.”noveldrama

Kallie heard that Brysen had checked herself out of the hospital. She double-checked with the nurse, who confirmed that Brysen had insisted on leaving. Though puzzled, Kallie didn’t dwell on it. Maybe it was for the best that Brysen was with Neal.

Brysen had been through a lot lately, and she hadn’t been able to speak up for herself. This was the first time Brysen had clearly stated what she wanted since the hospitalization.

Kallie felt a wave of anxiety wash over her. She needed to clear her head, so she decided to head to the nearby hills for some peace and quiet.
