My Marriage to a Mute Girl novel Chapter 27

Lexie was in pain from being pinched, but could only make a whimpering sound, hoarse, even the driver couldn't help but take one more look in the rearview mirror, unable to bear it in his heart.

"Where's the stuff Peter gave you?"

His cold and deep voice echoed in the carriage. He clearly saw that Peter had given something to Lexie, but it was interrupted by Edith at the house.

Lexie's eyes were filled with tears as she shook her head repeatedly.

This soft look of her rebelliousness fell in Alan's eyes, and the force in his hand involuntarily eased.

So much time had passed, even if she had really been given something, it would have been hidden by her long ago.

"You'd better remember that as long as you stay in the Howard family, you are a member of the Howard family, and it's better to behave well, or don't blame me for being rude."

Lexie shrank in a corner of the car seat with a stunned look on her face and Alan directly let go of his hand.

Lexie's position in the Mitchell family was clear to him, and even if it wasn't clear before, this trip to the Mitchell family today made it very clear.

If she didn't have something in Peter's hand, she wouldn't be so obedient to this so-called father of hers.

Thinking about the hospital, Alan had some ideas.

Lexie looked at Alan in fear, one hand covering her hurtful chin, her back tightly leaning against the car door. Making sure Alan had let her go, she took a breath of relief.

In that moment just now, she had the feeling of being in the abyss.

Staying by Alan's side was really a heart-testing thing.

After sending Lexie back to the Howard's house, Alan went straight to the company.

The assistant Jack came with a cup of tea.

"Mr. Alan, the hospital has been contacted, and Miss Mitchell can go to the hospital tomorrow for her internship."

"Have you talked to Kevin?" Alan didn't look up, and after taking a sip of tea, he turned the book over a page.

"Not yet, Dr. Stewart is not at the hospital today, but the dean will notify him."

Alan nodded, "Lexie's grandma is also in that hospital?"

"Yes," Jack nodded, "Dr. Stewart is indeed the chief surgeon, and ......"

Hearing Jack's hesitant tone, Alan lifted his head, his eyebrows cold, "And what?"

"The records on the hospital show that Dr. Stewart paid for the surgery for her grandma."

Jack hadn't figured out why Kevin helped Lexie's grandma?

Alan's brow furrowed slightly.

Seeing the book Alan was flipping through in his hand, Jack's expression faintly stalled.

Half a minute later, he hesitated, "Mr. Alan, you seem to be quite concerned about your wife lately."

It was a sign language book that he had never seen in Alan's office before, and Alan had brought it with him as soon as he arrived today and hadn't stopped flipping through it until now.

Thinking about Lexie's situation, Jack's heart was somewhat mixed up.

"Shall we have the hospital and get a more senior doctor to have the surgery?"

Alan was thinking about something and was pulled back into his thoughts when he heard this, giving Jack a cold look.

Jack winced inwardly and knew that he had said something wrong, "I am sorry."

After the assistant left, the office fell silent.

Alan's long fingers rubbed the pages of the book in his hand, flipped to the last page and found a page of words on the blank, it could be seen that it had been a long time, the handwriting had faded a bit, but still could be clearly seen, it was a transcription of "To the Oak Tree".
