The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 557

Sabrina’s lackey quickly dug up information about Lionel Hudson. “Miss Sabrina, he really is a member of the royal family.”

“Isn’t he an Astronian?”

“But his wife is a noble from the Yatruinian royal family. You’re probably familiar with her…” the underling hesitated. “It’s Lady Natasha.”

Her expression changed immediately. “Lady Natasha? Are you sure?”

It was fine if it were anyone else, but why did it have to be Lady Natasha, the most famous female ambassador from the Yatruinian royal family?

“Miss Sabrina, if Rachel ever tells them about us…”

“She will never get the chance.” Sabrina’s face darkened. “I will never give it to her.”

Over the last few days, Rachel had remained at the homestay at the foot of Somerset Mountain. Her daily routine, except for meals, consisted of walks with Justin. Regina’s ankle hadn’t healed fully, but she didn’t stop trying to go with them.

“I’m bored here all alone. Take me along, Rachel!”

“The mountain paths are difficult to walk on. We can’t take you because you’re in a wheelchair.”

“I can walk on my own.” As Regina said so, she rose from her wheelchair. Rachel stared at Regina’s legs, noting that the girl did not dare to place her hurt leg on the ground.

“No. You have to stay here.”

Justin could not let this continue because he knew that Regina would think of how to torment everyone if she didn’t get her way. Therefore, he decided on a compromise. “Look, you can come with us. But if we reach a part where the paths are too difficult to walk on, we have to turn back.”

“Okay,” Regina answered enthusiastically.

“You don’t have to listen to her. How can we go hiking when she’s with us?”

Justin looked behind Regina. “Bobby’s coming too, so we probably don’t need to worry.”

Bobby, a boy who worked at the homestay, had cared for Regina over the past few days and followed her wherever she went. So when he heard Justin’s words, Bobby scratched his head and smiled toothily. “If it’s too difficult to walk, I’ll carry Little Sis on my back.”

“Who’s your little sis?” Regina glared at him and said in annoyance. “You stupid boy.”

Despite being insulted, he wasn’t angry at all as he chirped, “I call anyone younger than me my little sis.”

“I’m one year older than you!”

He was only fifteen—younger than Regina— but he had lived and worked here year-round, making his skin very tanned. So, it was true that he didn’t look younger than her.

Nevertheless, she was adamant about being the eldest of the two. “You should call me Big Sis!”

He shook his head and refused to change how he addressed her, looking peculiarly stubborn.

“Not talking again? Talking to you is a waste of effort.” Regina rolled her eyes and urged him. “Come on, let’s go. I’m bored as hell after staying in this place.”

Rachel felt resigned as she watched their interaction. Regina had a temper; if not for her good looks, no one would care about her. There was no help for this world that prioritized one’s beauty over everything.

Rachel and Justin had been walking up and down the mountain every morning, afternoon, and evening, so they were extremely familiar with the trail. So naturally, they quickly left Regina and Bobby behind.

“Rachel, wait for me!”

“At least help me up faster.”

“Oh, you are so dumb!”

Rachel could hear Regina’s distant complaints about Bobby, and she was speechless. “Even with how she’s acting, Bobby hasn’t lost his temper. Village children are really well-behaved.”
