Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 938

Chapter 938

Outside, Rhea slapped her cheeks to cool off. Her heart still raced. Did anyone see?

“Dr. Neufeld?” a woman’s voice called.

It was the mother of a patient, carrying her young daughter. Concern sparked in Rhea as she noticed how pale and withdrawn the girl looked.

After a few questions, Rhea learned this wasn’t the girl’s first visit—it was a recurring issue. In her office, she examined her, frowning. “Her stomach’s fine. Where’s the pain?”

The mother hesitated. Rhea softened her tone. “You’re safe here. Don’t worry. We’re here to help, not judge.”

That gentleness cracked something open. The woman broke down, sobbing. Rhea gently comforted her, coaxing out the truth—and what came out was almost too much to bear.

She was a rural housewife, married off young to a man eight years older. She’d spent years keeping house, caring for in-laws, trying to be the perfect wife. Then, after she gave birth to a daughter, her husband, obsessed with having a son, grew increasingly violent. Lately, she’d discovered he’d done something unforgivable—he had assaulted their little girl.
