"Mr. MacQuoid, drink some water to calm yourself down. I think you can talk now. You said you can't talk before, so I'm afraid it's a lie, right?"
Adam finally realized that he had been exposed.
He took the glass of water and drank it all in big gulps, suppressing the panic in his heart.
"I...I couldn't talk initially, but I was scared too much just now, so I can talk again all of a sudden."
"I wonder what scared you? After all, none of the people here saw the woman you mentioned. Is it because you've been too busy with work recently that you're too nervous? That might be why you saw things that don't exist. Perhaps you feel that you can't speak because of this reason too."
After Adam drank the water, he felt that he had calmed down. He sat up from the sofa.
Although the reason Quinn mentioned was to embarrass him, it also gave him a way out. Otherwise, would Adam really admit that he was pretending to be mute just now?
