My Marriage to a Mute Girl

Chapter 27 The Howard family

Lexie was in pain from being pinched, but could only make a whimpering sound, hoarse, even the

driver couldn't help but take one more look in the rearview mirror, unable to bear it in his heart.

"Where's the stuff Peter gave you?"

His cold and deep voice echoed in the carriage. He clearly saw that Peter had given something to

Lexie, but it was interrupted by Edith at the house.

Lexie's eyes were filled with tears as she shook her head repeatedly.

This soft look of her rebelliousness fell in Alan's eyes, and the force in his hand involuntarily eased.

So much time had passed, even if she had really been given something, it would have been hidden by

her long ago.

"You'd better remember that as long as you stay in the Howard family, you are a member of the Howard

family, and it's better to behave well, or don't blame me for being rude."

Lexie shrank in a corner of the car seat with a stunned look on her face and Alan directly let go of his

hand.

Lexie's position in the Mitchell family was clear to him, and even if it wasn't clear before, this trip to the

Mitchell family today made it very clear.

If she didn't have something in Peter's hand, she wouldn't be so obedient to this so-called father of

hers.

Thinking about the hospital, Alan had some ideas.

Lexie looked at Alan in fear, one hand covering her hurtful chin, her back tightly leaning against the car

door. Making sure Alan had let her go, she took a breath of relief.

In that moment just now, she had the feeling of being in the abyss.

Staying by Alan's side was really a heart-testing thing.

After sending Lexie back to the Howard's house, Alan went straight to the company.

The assistant Jack came with a cup of tea.

"Mr. Alan, the hospital has been contacted, and Miss Mitchell can go to the hospital tomorrow for her

internship."

"Have you talked to Kevin?" Alan didn't look up, and after taking a sip of tea, he turned the book over a

page.

"Not yet, Dr. Stewart is not at the hospital today, but the dean will notify him."

Alan nodded, "Lexie's grandma is also in that hospital?"

"Yes," Jack nodded, "Dr. Stewart is indeed the chief surgeon, and ......"

Hearing Jack's hesitant tone, Alan lifted his head, his eyebrows cold, "And what?"

"The records on the hospital show that Dr. Stewart paid for the surgery for her grandma."

Jack hadn't figured out why Kevin helped Lexie's grandma?

Alan's brow furrowed slightly.

Seeing the book Alan was flipping through in his hand, Jack's expression faintly stalled.

Half a minute later, he hesitated, "Mr. Alan, you seem to be quite concerned about your wife lately."

It was a sign language book that he had never seen in Alan's office before, and Alan had brought it with

him as soon as he arrived today and hadn't stopped flipping through it until now.

Thinking about Lexie's situation, Jack's heart was somewhat mixed up.

"Shall we have the hospital and get a more senior doctor to have the surgery?"

Alan was thinking about something and was pulled back into his thoughts when he heard this, giving

Jack a cold look.

Jack winced inwardly and knew that he had said something wrong, "I am sorry."

After the assistant left, the office fell silent.

Alan's long fingers rubbed the pages of the book in his hand, flipped to the last page and found a page

of words on the blank, it could be seen that it had been a long time, the handwriting had faded a bit, but

still could be clearly seen, it was a transcription of "To the Oak Tree".

[If I love you, I will never be like a climbing trumpet vine, relying on your high branch to show off myself

......]

Looking at the graceful handwriting, Lexie's soft and clean eyes occurred to Alan's mind, so she also

liked this poem?

Lexie returned to Howard's house.

In the living room, only Marry was cleaning the table, and when she saw Lexie return, she didn't even

say hello.

Lexie was not angry, [Where is Mrs. Stewart?]

If Diana wasn't home, she'd be able to breathe a sigh of relief and go upstairs for some rest.

But Marry frowned, "Why are you gesturing? I can't read it."

Lexie froze, the gestures she had just made were not exactly in sign language, ordinary people could

perfectly follow her expressions to see what she meant.

As she was about to take out her book to write, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her, "My

mother is out, what do you want from her?" Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

As soon as Lexie turned around, she saw Kevin looking at her with a slight smile.

Lexie nodded at him as a greeting, and wrote on the book she pulled out, [Nothing, I brought some

things from home for Mrs. Stewart]

The things brought back were prepared by Peter.

After all, she was the daughter of the Mitchell family. Though she was no longer favored, his father still

had to rely on her to do things, so he had prepared some gifts.

"She shouldn't be back until later, just give it to Marry."

Lexie nodded, indicating that he knew.

[Why are you home? Not at work?]

"It's my day off," Kevin explained, "By the way, I'm going to the hospital later, do you want to come with

me?"

Lexie was slightly stunned and shook her head after a moment of silence, smiling faintly as she

refused.

[I'm not going to the hospital today, but tomorrow.]

Thinking about her earlier contact with Kevin and Alan's poor attitude towards herself, her heart chilled,

it was best not to cause any more unnecessary misunderstandings, and it was good for everyone.

After saying this, Lexie pointed upstairs and made a sleeping gesture, indicating that she was going

upstairs to rest.

Unheard loss surfaced in Kevin's eyes, but he nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

Looking at Lexie's figure going upstairs, obviously a little weak, for some reason, the feeling in Kevin's

heart that he wanted to protect her became even stronger.

As the night gradually sank, the bedroom on the second floor of the Mitchell’s villa was lit up.

"Yes, thank you, Dean, I will go to the hospital tomorrow morning on time."

Edith held the phone, and the tone of her voice was one of unconcealed joy.

Hanging up the phone, she looked at the induction notice she received on her phone screen and

immediately sent a message over to Alan, "Alan, I received the news from the hospital, I didn't even

expect you to do it for me so soon, thank you."

But she did not receive any reply.

It was already eleven o'clock at night, and when she thought that Alan should have returned home at

this time, lying in a bed with Lexie, the smile on Edith's face froze.

No, Lexie and Alan didn't sleep in the same room at all, Diana had told her that.

But what the father meant ......

Edith quickly rummaged through the drawer and pulled out a white paper packet.

It was picked up next to Lexie's bed when she left her room in the morning.

She majored in pharmacology, and grew up with herbal formulas, so she knew what the white paper

bag contained by smelling it.

If she was not mistaken, this was given to Lexie by her father. Her father asked Lexie to drug

Alan?
