My Marriage to a Mute Girl novel Chapter 9

Lexie had stayed at the hospital, but just at ten o'clock at night, Peter called her again.

After looking at it for a long time without answering, but the phone continued to flicker, finally, she gritted her teeth and answered it.

Peter's voice was cold and unusual, "After hearing Edith say that you left the Howard family in the morning, I guessed that you were at the hospital with your grandma, so I'm sure you're clear on why I disconnected the hospital's money."

Lexie pursed her lips, and she knew clearly that it was because she hadn't finished what he had told her.

Immediately afterwards, she heard Peter sneer, "Do you not want to go back to the Howard family? I'm telling you, Lexie, you have to go back! If you refuse to go back, I will make all the hospitals in the city not dare to take in your grandma, you understand I can do that. Of course, if you don't believe me, you can boldly try, if your grandma dies accidentally, you're the one who killed her."

Lexie's expression suddenly changed.

She squeezed her phone, breathing hard with anger, and how she wished in this moment that she could speak up and let out all her frustrations with this father.

Peter achieved his goal and smiled in satisfaction, "You better behave or you can't afford the consequences."

After he hung up the phone, Lexie's eyes fell on the face of her grandma on the hospital bed, and her heart thought bitterly, if she had some success, she wouldn't have been taken by her father at will, and her grandma's condition wouldn't have to be delayed until now.

Now at eleven o'clock at night, she took a deep breath and took a taxi back to the Howard family.

The maids were resting.

Lexie hadn't eaten any food since the morning, and she lightened her steps to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Just as she reached the living room, she was startled by the dark figure leaning against the corner.

Apparently, the man had spotted her too.

Why is Alan here? Where's Edith?

"What are you looking for?"

Seeing her look around, Alan narrowed his eyes and asked.

Lexie took out a pen and paper and wrote down two words: [Sister]

Alan's gaze became dark as he stared at the woman's face, "Aren't you afraid that I'll let Edith replace you?"

Lexie was baffled by his question and didn't know what to say for a while.

He flicked the unburned cigarette butt on his fingertips with two fingers, the butt then fell to the ground, the spark died out, and he raised his eyes to look at her, "Edith is staying at the Howard family, what to say and what not to say in front of her in the future, I hope you understand this."

Lexie froze, was this a warning that she couldn't make Edith angry?
