My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 457
Chapter 456
….
Nara looked at Austin’s face with tears streaming down her cheeks.
But in the next moment, Austin flung her hand away. He looked at her with annoyance and disgust in his voice. “What are you doing? You stupid mute, you’re filthy!”
Nara stumbled back, looking at him in disbelief.
She stared at Austin, dumbfounded.
Her voice was a bit hoarse, making Austin unable to hear her clearly. After pushing Nara away, he couldn’t help but say, “What bad luck! If my clothes get dirty because of your touch, my sister may ignore me when she sees me. If that happens, I definitely won’t let you off the hook!”
Nara looked at him in disbelief.
The face of the man before her and the brother she remembered from her childhood couldn’t merge in her eyes…
She then looked toward Lady Gill…
The kind, loving eyes from her childhood were now coldly staring at her. “Keep away from my son! Don’t infect him with your muteness! If it weren’t for you, how could our family and the Olsens have come to such a stage?!”
Lady Gill then looked toward the bodyguards. “What are you standing around for? Get these two out of here, now!”
Then, she pointed to Keira. “Remember her face. From now on, they are both banned from entering our hospital!”
The bodyguards outside immediately rushed in toward Nara and Keira. “Please leave.”
Keira said coldly, “We can leave ourselves.”
She looked toward Nara.
Nara’s eyes were brimming with tears, her expression indescribable as she looked toward Austin and Lady Gill…
She bit her lip hard with a look of stubbornness and unwillingness in her eyes.
She clenched her fists, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. Holding Keira’s arm, she turned and walked out.
As she passed by Austin, she didn’t glance at him again.
Time seemed to slow down in that moment…
With a mother and a brother like them… Good riddance!
Austin stepped back, casting her a disdainful glance before taking out his phone to redial his sister’s number. “The phone you’re calling is switched off…”
Austin said, “Mom, is my sister living in such poverty that she can’t pay her phone bill? Or maybe her phone isn’t good enough and ran out of battery!”
With teary eyes, Austin continued. “She must have suffered a lot.”
Lady Gill said, “We must find her as soon as possible! We have to make it up to her!”
Austin nodded, “Okay.”
Lying on the hospital bed, Jackson listened to their conversation and glanced at Nara as she walked away. He smirked darkly and gloated inwardly.
…
After leaving the hospital, Keira saw Nara in a dejected mood. She walked on the street as if her soul had been drained, numb to her surroundings.
Her wound wasn’t severe and had already begun to scab over. Keira only needed to bandage it up.
Thinking that Nara was worried about not having a job, Keira took her hand and said, “Why don’t you submit a resume to the Nora Research Institute?”
Nara was surprised, and then let out a bitter smile. She thought, “Miss Olsen probably doesn’t realize how stringent the Nora Research Institute’s hiring standards are,” but she still nodded in compliance. She never liked to trouble other people…
Keira was going to take Nara home.
But Nara took out paper and pen and attempted to write, only to find that her injured hand couldn’t.
She lowered her gaze and compliantly let Keira drive her to the alley entrance.
The alley was too narrow for the car to enter, so Nara got out to walk the long, winding path at the mouth of the alley.
Keira wanted to accompany her, but Nara refused.
Then, under Keira’s watchful eye, Nara exited the car and entered the alley.
She walked a long time in the alley, finally stopping by the water pipe, which was a block away from her house. She washed her face, then leaned against it, quietly waiting for time to pass.
Only after six in the evening did she turn around, pat her face, and enter her house.
After she entered, Keira and Lewis emerged from around the corner, approaching the wall just in time to hear Nara’s happy voice, “Ah!”
Matias asked, “How was the internship today?”
Then, seemingly noticing Nara’s wound, he asked, “What happened to your hand? Has someone injured you?”
Matias understood sign language. Hence, Nara could communicate with him without difficulty.
Separated by a door, Keira saw Nara smiling, gesturing with her hands. Although Keira didn’t understand sign language, she could guess the meaning, “No, I got hurt taking care of a patient! How was your day at home? I’m so tired. Do we have any food?”
Matias then relaxed, hobbling as he spoke. “Dinner’s on the stove. I made sure to save you some. I made your favorite chicken wings. Nara, are you okay?”
Nara nodded, continuing to gesture. “I’m fine. I have to work tomorrow, and I’m dead tired. I’ll go to sleep after dinner.”
Matias nodded.
Nara went into her room.
…
Keira felt sorry for the girl.
She looked at Lewis, sighing silently.
Lewis said, “We should arrange for someone to protect them.”
Keira nodded. “They must be protected, but I don’t want to restrict their freedom, and if the Gill family is targeting them, we can’t be around all the time.”
Lewis pursed his lips. “Let’s protect them for now.”
“Yeah.”
The two slowly turned around and returned to the car, driving toward the South residence.
…
Meanwhile, in the hospital.
The bodyguards checked all the medical staff and patients one by one. The few young women close to Nara’s age were all proven not to be members of the Gill family; moreover, their phone numbers didn’t match the one Austin had.
Austin paced anxiously. “Mom, what’s going on? My sister was here. How could she have disappeared?”
Lady Gill furrowed her brow, suddenly thinking of something. “Could it be…”
