The substitute bride is a mute

Chapter 33

As Clark looked at the beautiful handwriting, Judy's soft and innocent eyes came to his mind. How could such a submissive woman have a liking for this poem?

…

Meanwhile, Judy returned to the Reid manor.

Lora was the only one in the living room, wiping the table. When she saw Judy come back, she acted as if Judy was invisible.

Judy didn't get angry either. "Where is Mdm. Hebert?" If she wasn't home, Judy could relax and rest in her room for a while.

Lora frowned. "Mrs. Reid, what are you gesturing about? I don't understand."

Judy was stunned. The gestures she made were not entirely sign language. Anybody could understand based on her expression.

Just as she was about to take out a notebook to write, a familiar voice suddenly came from the back. "Mom went out to socialize. Why are you asking for her?"

Judy turned her head and saw Dominic smiling at her.

Judy nodded at him as a greeting and wrote in the notebook. "It's nothing. I brought some things from home. It's meant for Mdm. Hebert."

The things Judy brought back were prepared by Matthew. After all, she was the daughter of the Blake family. Even if she was not favored, the Blake family still had to rely on her for certain matters. The Blake family couldn't neglect this courtesy so they prepared some gifts.

"She should be back later. Just give it to Lora."

Judy nodded, indicating that she understood. "Why are you at home? Don't you have to go to work?"

"I have a day off today," Dominic explained. "By the way, I'm going to the hospital later. Do you want to go with me?"

Judy hesitated. Then, shook her head, politely declining. "I'm not going to the hospital today. I'll go tomorrow."

Thinking of Clark's bad attitude towards her when she met Dominic before, she shivered. It would be better not to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings. Keeping it this way was beneficial to all.

Then, Judy pointed upstairs and made a sleeping gesture, indicating that she was going upstairs to rest.

Dominic's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness that was almost imperceptible, but he still nodded. "Okay, go ahead."

Watching Judy's meek figure from the back, somehow, Dominic's desire to protect her intensified.

…

As night fell, the south-facing bedroom on the second floor of the Blake mansion was still brightly lit.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Pendleton. I'll report to the hospital on time tomorrow morning." Jenna held the phone, her voice filled with undisguised joy.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After hanging up the phone, she looked at the job offer notification on her phone screen and immediately sent a message to Clark. "Clark, I received the hospital's notification. I didn't expect you to help me so soon. Thank you."

She waited for a long time but received no reply.

It was already 11:00 pm. Thoughts of Clark back at the Reid manor at this hour, lying in bed with Judy, flooded Jenna's mind. The smile on Jenna's face gradually froze.

No, Judy and Clark didn't sleep in the same room at all. Sally had told her that.

But Matthew's intentions...

Jenna quickly rummaged through the drawer, her mind a mess. She reached for the white paper package she had picked up by Judy's bed when she left the room that morning.

Majoring in modern medicine, Jenna could tell from a glance and by smell what the powders were in the white paper package.

Having grown up exposed to medicine formulas, she had acquired the ability to identify them quickly.

If she guessed right, this was what Matthew had given Judy. Did Matthew instruct Judy to give Clark this medicine?
