The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93 

The news of the false Andersons‘ arrest became the hottest gossip of the week, and no one could wait to start talking about it. All the news outlets began covering the story as a breaking report when Vanessa and Cassandra were seen being led out of the Anderson mansion in handcuffs. 

And as a consequence, reporters immediately began searching for Deborah’s residence to interview her, hoping to get her perspective on the situation. However, since she lived in a private location with tight security, they couldn’t get in easily. No one knew her phone number to call and ask her questions either. 

“It seems you’re quite the celebrity now, my love,” Jayden remarked as they carefully drove away from their home. 

[It appears so] Deborah was wearing a blonde wig to go unnoticed by the cameras. 

“You know, with that wig, we look like my parents,” Jayden teased, causing her to laugh. 

[But I’m not going to dye it] 

“Hey, I never said I wanted you to be blonde. I love your beautiful chestnut hair,” Jayden complimented her, making her blush. 

The drive to Dr. Martin’s clinic was uneventful, as today was the beginning of Deborah’s treatment to heal her vocal cords. When they arrived at the hospital, they headed straight to the doctor’s office, where he was already waiting for them. 

Dr. Martin wasn’t surprised to see Deborah wearing a wig, but he asked her to remove it so it wouldn’t interfere during the treatment–she needed to lie down for an extended period. 

She complied, getting comfortable on the bed prepared for her. Jayden watched attentively, holding her hand for support and keeping her relaxed. 

The treatment was experimental, but Deborah agreed to it because it was non–invasive–there was no use of medications that could affect James’s health. 

The three–hour treatment felt like an eternity for the couple. However, when the doctor finally stepped back and sighed in relief, they too could breathe easier. 

“And done, we’re finished,” Dr. Martin announced as the nurse wiped the sweat from his brow while he removed his mask. “You can drink some water now.” 

With Jayden’s help, Deborah sat up and took a sip of water, placing a hand on her throat, which felt a bit 

strange. 

“For now, I recommend you only drink water for the rest of the day. I know it feels a little odd because your body had adapted to the scar tissue over the years, and now that it’s gone, it feels like something is missing, right?” 

[Yes.] She nodded, feeling her partner’s comforting embrace. 

“Doc, does this mean she’ll be able to start talking?” Jayden asked, looking the doctor in the eye. 

“Yes and no. 

Deborah looked at the doctor, puzzled by his answer.
