He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 178

Eleanor nearly twisted her nose in frustration. She complained to Reggie, "I have no idea where he gets that awful personality. He's absolutely infuriating. And why did he even come here today? Just to drop off some tea? He could have sent anyone to do that."

Reggie knew exactly why Nelson was there, but he wisely played dumb. "I really couldn't say, Ma'am."

Shortly after, Juniper received a call from an unknown number. It was Nelson using Quinn's phone.

The moment she accepted the call, his icy voice came through the speaker.

"Add my number back. Come to my house. We'll talk about this in person."

He hung up before she could say another word.

Juniper stood frozen. Taking a deep breath, she didn't add his number.

Nelson seemed entirely unbothered by the delay.

For the next three days, Juniper didn't reach out or add his contact.

It was a silent, agonizing standoff.

It wasn't until Walter started coughing up blood in his hospital bed that the stalemate broke. The doctor pulled Juniper and Beatrice into the hallway for a grim conversation.

"If you're choosing to forgo treatment, you can take him home today."

Beatrice hesitated, her heart twisting in her chest.

Should she use the two million dollars? But even if she did, it wouldn't solve the issue of the missing foreign specialists and equipment.
