He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 131

Her back remained perfectly straight until she realized he was truly gone, his footsteps fading away. Only then did she slowly relax.

Alistair asked, "Does your leg still hurt? Should I take a look at it?"

"His grandmother's doctor checked it yesterday. He told me not to move around too much for the next couple of days."

Alistair simply hummed in acknowledgment. Instead of bringing up Nelson, he naturally steered the conversation toward hospital matters.

Juniper's tense body relaxed further. She offered a small smile and joined in the chat.

Upstairs, Nelson followed the old lady into the study.

The window here offered a clear view of the two people chatting happily below.

The old lady and Nelson both stood by the window. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became, a smile touching her lips. "Alistair is naturally gifted in medicine, and he's handsome too. With him taking care of June, I'd be at ease. What do you think?"

"Gifted with scraps, you mean?"

The old lady angrily rubbed her temples, but she ended up laughing out loud. "Your mouth is absolutely unforgiving."

Nelson didn't reply, his gaze fixed intently on the scene below.

Whenever he was near Juniper, she grew as tense and alert as a startled rabbit, her discomfort visible to the naked eye. But now that he was gone, she was having a great time chatting with that man.

His aura turned a bit cold. He heard the old lady ask, "Aren't you going to work today? Why are you here? Nelson, don't treat me like a fool. You came here for June, didn't you? Could it be that you..."

"You're overthinking things."

The old lady was still a bit suspicious, but saw him quickly look away, no longer staring downstairs. "I just think this Alistair guy has questionable character."
