My Mute Bride Chapter 155


    “Amber? You’re confusing the truth with lies.” Julian tried to grab Amber’s phone, but since he was


    supporting Rachel, Amber managed to easily avoid him.


    Amber answered, “Dr. Peters, why would you be scared if you aren’t guilty?”


    “You”


    The tension was almost tangible in the air when a figure appeared behind her. “What’s going on?”


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Upon hearing Justin’s voice, Amber immediately hopped on the opportunity and started to make her


    usation. “Justin, I was about to tell you that I came here to visit Rachel, but I bumped into them


    smooching. You told me that even after divorce, she’s still part of the Burton Family. It doesn’t look like


    she shares the same sentiment. Look at how happy she is.”


    When he saw Julian holding onto Rachel, his expression darkened.


    “Justin.”


    “Who allowed you toe here?”


    “Huh?”


    Amber was stunned.


    Justin spoke coldly, “You have no business here and there’s no need for you to visit her either.”


    He walked past her to yank Rachel away from Julian before returning to the ward section.


    Amber was left behind to stare at the two disappearing figures and she had only taken two steps


    toward them when Julian halted her. “Amber, you’re a daughter of the Hudson Family. Why do you


    have to resort to such underhanded methods to join the Burton Family?”


    “Justin is my fiancé right now!”


    “Really?! Comining about your fiance’s ex-wife to him? I thought I was watching a drama where the


    concubine is trying to use the legal wife.”


    “A concubine? Julian, you, who’s the concubine here?”


    Amber was so furious that she was stomping her feet.


    She had initially left Tran-Q because she couldn’t stand Julian’s coldness toward her. Her father even


    stressed that she would be better off marrying him instead of Justin, but she never saw the point in it.


    She was unable to see the benefits about a man who continued to find faults with her and thought that


    he was blind to side with that woman.


    Justin took Rachel to her ward.


    With a stumble, she fell into a sitting position on the bed.


    Miss Jennifer was tidying up the room and upon seeing the sight, she was shocked. “When did you


    arrive, Mr. Burton? What happened?”


    His expression was dark. “Who let her out?”


    She was careful to choose her words. “I saw the flowers outside blooming beautifully and since the


    weather was also perfect, I allowed her to take a walk outside. The doctor also said that getting some


    fresh air would help the patients to recover better.”


    “Then, why didn’t you go with her?”


    Justin’s single question had caused Miss Jennifer to break out in a nervous sweat.


    Rachel stood up. I’m the one who wanted to go out for a walk. This has nothing to do with Miss


    Jennifer.


    “Mrs. Burton.”


    “The outdoor type, aren’t you?” Justin sneered, “I wonder what is so nice to look at out there. Is it the


    flowers? Or a certain someone?”


    Julian is a doctor at Tran-Q. As long as I’m outside, it’s not strange to run into him. If you don’t want to


    see us together, I don’t mind changing hospitals.


    After she expressed everything that she wanted, Rachel lowered her hands.


    “Miss Jennifer, please leave us alone for now.”


    Upon hearing Justin’s order, Miss Jennifer hurried off.


    After the door was closed, Justin and Rachel were the only ones left in the room.


    “Do you really think I’d care if you contacted Julian?” He gave her a look. “I know his character better


    than you do. It is his principle to help the sick and needy. You are only a patient in his eyes, nothing


    more than a weakling to sympathize.”


    Rachel gripped the sheets under her.


    Even though she only saw Julian as a friend, Justin’s way of describing it was simply blunt shaming.


    In this man’s eyes, she was only a disabled person who should stay behind the scenes. He was


    indicating that no normal man would want her.


    Rachel couldn’t even retort Justin’s words.


    Was it not out ofpassion that Julian helped her?


    Upon seeing her darkening expression, Justin started to regret his heavy choice of words.


    Amber’s voice sounded from outside. “Justin.”


    The previous emotions disappeared from his face.


    At this moment, she entered and soon felt the tension in the air. She then said softly, “Justin, I brought


    over some fruits, so I was wondering where I should put them.”


    “No need. She’s notcking anything here.”


    “I know, but I just wanted to express my concern.”


    With that, Amber ced the fruits on the table. “Get well soon, Rachel. No matter what, we’re still


    family. Blood is thicker than water, right? Dad wille to visit after two days when he’s done with his


    work.”


    Rachel frowned, but she didn’t make a sound.


    When she had learned about her origins, she had severed all ties with the Hudson Family.


    “Justin, we still have to see Grandpa tonight, don’t we?”


    Grandpa? Rachel thought.


    She felt a cold hand tightening around her heart.


    Justin is bringing Amber to see Arthur? Right, they are engaged and will be married soon. Isn’t it


    normal to meet each other’s families then?


    At that thought, Rachel’s tight grip on the sheets loosened. No matter how awful she felt, her face was


    calm and void of any expression.


    Justin stole a nce at Rachel. When he saw her indifference, he felt anger rising within him.


    Amber took his arm. “Justin, we’re going to bete. We shouldn’t make our elders wait. Let’s go.”


    “Okay.”


    As she heard the door close, Rachel slowly lifted a hand to her chest.


    She felt that the pain in her chest was urring far more often for some unknown reason.


    Amber was still clinging onto Justin’s arm when they left the hospital with glee in her heart. “Justin, is


    my attire too simple for the party tonight?”


    He suddenly removed his arm from her grasp and coldly answered, “Didn’t I ask you to wait until I’m


    done? Why did youe all the way here?”


    Amber was stunned. “I… I came here to visit Rachel. I didn’t know you’d be here as well.”


    “Are you two even that close?”


    “We”


    “Since you’re not really close to her, you can quit faking it. You don’t have toe to the hospital


    anymore.”


    With that, Justin entered the car.


    Amber stood on the spot; her nails dug into her palms while her lips formed a thin line.


    Even though he never praised Rachel and never even stood up for her, Amber could see how


    important Rachel was in his eyes.


    At the thought of the various scuffles between them, Amber felt threatened. “Justin, are you free this


    Saturday?”


    “Why?”


    “My dad has arranged a charity event for me. Hudson Pharmaceuticals has funded some children’s


    homes in the mountain areas before and now that some of the children have made it far in life, they


    decided to establish a charity foundation with Hudson Pharmaceuticals.”


    Upon seeing Justin’sck of interest, she let out a sigh on purpose. “When Hudson Pharmaceuticals


    decided to develop that area in Somerset Mountain to create a ce for children to go to, we had to


    exercise notable effort as well. Now, we feel at ease to see the children doing so well.”


    Somerset Mountain? He suddenly turned toward Amber. “What did you just say? The ce that


    Hudson Pharmaceuticals funded?”
