The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132

Julian was driving back to the city from the suburbs. Not long after he exited the compound, he saw a malicious-looking man on the passenger’s seat of a van that passed him by.

At first, he didn’t pay heed to it, but he started feeling uneasy after he went on for some distance.

All the people in the van wore black. What could their business in the suburbs be at midnight?

“Pardon, the number that you have dialed cannot be reached. Please call…”

Both Victor and Gloria couldn’t be reached by their phones.

At once, he made a U-turn and headed back toward the villa.

By the time he arrived, the villa was in a mess.

The bodyguards were on the ground, defeated and in pain. Rushing into the bedroom, he was met with a sight of Gloria and Victor passed out on the floor, and Rachel sitting in a pool of blood at the corner of the room.

“Rachel!”

The lights on the operating table were bright and blinding.

The sound of machines colliding rang in her ears, yet she was still too weak to open her eyes. She could only hear the sound of the doctor and nurses speaking by her side.

The moment her body was cut open, the pain that she initially felt numb to suddenly soared once again. The stimulation to her pain-receptor nerves was so unbearable she was about to pass out.

At this moment, she felt like she was diving into an abyss. Every time she felt like she was about to drown and die, she would get a breath of air only to drown again.

It went on and on.

By the time Justin rushed to the hospital, it was already the wee hours of the next day.

“How is she?”

He held onto Julian hastily.

With an expressionless face, Julian told him, “This child is gone.”

The four words were like a hammer that was slammed down on Justin’s heart.

The look in his eyes wavered as he staggered a few steps back. Leaning against the wall, he was in utter disbelief.

“Who did this?”

After Julian heard that, his face turned dark. “You should ask yourself!”

After all, it was clear whose position was threatened by the very existence of the child.

The next day, when Rachel regained consciousness, it was already noon.

When she opened her eyes, she could see Justin by her bedside. With that, she was surprised. Out of instinct, she wanted to move her hand, but she realized that he was holding onto it. He must’ve held it for some time because it felt a little numb.

It didn’t take long before he woke up. As their eyes met the atmosphere felt stoic and stagnate.

“You’re awake? How do you feel? Do you feel discomfort anywhere?”

Leaning on the pillow, she couldn’t reply with her hand held.

It was only then that he let go of her hand.

A red mark could be seen from where he held onto her.

Why are you here?

After asking that, she realized that the surrounding wasn’t the villa in the suburbs. Why am I here?

The hospital?

At this moment, the immense pain from her lower body surged through her body, making her pupils contract. She looked toward him and signed, What happened to me?

His cold face seemed tense. Needless to say, he didn’t know how to break it to her.

After a moment, he looked into her eyes and took a deep breath before saying, “Rae, we can still have kids in the future.”

Her face turned pale in a split second.

Her memory of the previous night gushed into her head at once.

Those men in black who appeared suddenly, Victor and Gloria who were on the ground, the stick that was

“Ah!”

Pushing him away with the strength she could muster, she hugged her head as she retreated to the corner of her bed in fear.

“Rae!” He had never seen her like this.
