Gary turned his head to look at the slip of paper in Nara's hand.
But before he could see it, Mrs. Spencer pushed Nara away. "You mute, stop pestering my son! Stay away from him! He's going to marry Miss Gill!"
Pushed back a couple of steps, Nara stood there dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.
All she could do was watch helplessly as Gary was led away by Mrs. Spencer, her eyes reddening with reluctance and sorrow. She was too weak to stand still.
After Gary and Mrs. Spencer left, Nara's vision blurred, and she collapsed to the ground.
...
Once Gary had left the area of small houses, his expression became sad. His face was filled with reluctance. He would take a few steps and then look back.
Mrs. Spencer said, "Don't look back anymore. Let her become your old flame. Son, I'm doing this for your good. A mute is quite inconvenient in daily life. If you break up now, you'll remember her good qualities. Otherwise, your life together would be a mess."
