He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 177

Watching her walk away, Brooks felt a heavy knot twist in his chest.

He jogged to catch up with her. "But do you remember when we used to catch crabs and dig for mud loaches together when we were little? Why do you only hold onto the bad memories?"

Juniper stopped in her tracks. "If I only remembered the bad things, I would have abandoned you all a long time ago."

It was precisely because she remembered both the good and the bad that it hurt this much.

Brooks instantly fell silent.

Stepping out of the hospital entrance, Juniper immediately dialed Eleanor's number.

Eleanor listened quietly as Juniper explained the entire situation, her brow furrowing.

She wanted to tell Juniper to just walk away from the Lane family, but she knew family ties, much like love, were complicated and highly personal.

"June, give me a moment. I'll go ask Nelson. He's handling all of the Saint family's affairs right now. He might have a solution."

Nelson...

Juniper's throat tightened. Nelson would never make this easy for her.

"Eleanor, Nelson..."

Before she could finish, Eleanor chuckled through the phone. "Speak of the devil. He's been visiting quite often lately. Let me talk to him first, and I'll call you right back, alright?"

Juniper could only force a small smile. "Okay."

Eleanor hung up the phone. She had found Nelson's recent behavior extremely suspicious. When he first returned to the country, he rarely visited. Now, he was showing up entirely too often.

Nelson handed the expensive tea he had brought to Reggie. Reggie occasionally acted as a butler and driver, mostly driving when Eleanor rarely went out.

Reggie had figured out the complicated dynamic between Nelson and Juniper the last time he drove them, but he knew better than to gossip in front of Eleanor.
