He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 102

The only reason Lydia remembered the woman's name was because Audrey had been the most vocal in insulting Juniper that day.

When it came to dealing with Juniper, Lydia preferred keeping her own hands clean.

So, she turned her attention to Audrey, who was walking out of the building.

Audrey was clutching a stack of medical reports. Anyone who came to this exclusive hospital was either filthy rich or highly connected. She had likely hooked up with someone wealthy.

Lydia took the initiative to speak up. "It's you?"

Audrey looked up, stunned to see Lydia's face. "Ms. Thorne?"

She hadn't expected to run into the heiress here. Her eyes lit up with pleasant surprise. "I didn't expect to see you here."

"Josie is sick. Nelson and I brought her in to get checked."

With that, Lydia cast a deliberate glance into the distance, acting as if she had only just noticed Juniper standing there. She frowned slightly.

Audrey followed her line of sight and scoffed immediately upon seeing Juniper. "When is she going to stop pestering him? Nelson has such terrible luck running into her. Last time, she lured him to the gates of her neighborhood, and he looked absolutely furious."

Lydia offered a graceful smile, acting as if she were used to it. "It's fine. Nelson probably doesn't even care."

Audrey let out a harsh sneer. "Of course he doesn't care. He's so happy being with you now. Juniper always plays the pathetic victim to scam people, but who knows how many men she's hooking up with behind closed doors. It's disgusting."

Lydia didn't fully understand where this woman's deep-seated malice toward Juniper came from.

That was, until someone called Audrey's name.

Audrey's demeanor flipped instantly. She jogged over to the man with a bright smile. "The results are out. I'm pregnant!"

The man appeared to be a rising star in the entertainment industry, his face obscured by a cap and a mask.

It clicked for Lydia. This was the guy who had relentlessly pursued Juniper back in college.

She remembered him so vividly because Nelson had looked absolutely murderous that day.

Even though Nelson and Juniper had been together back then, they had kept it a secret.

"Juniper, you really are a lingering ghost!"

When Yorke heard the name, he raised an eyebrow. He squinted, and upon seeing her face clearly, a wave of recognition hit him.

His Adam's apple bobbed. The woman's face was flushed with a soft, rosy hue, making her look thoroughly ravished.

He hadn't seen Juniper in years. He vividly recalled what she looked like in college—pure as a freshly bloomed flower, yet so poor she had nothing left but her stubborn pride. Girls like that were the most fun to break.

He had been obsessed with her back then, but right after he confessed, he was ambushed and beaten to a pulp by an unknown group. It had taken him months to fully recover.

He thought he had long given up on her. After all, beautiful women were everywhere, especially in the entertainment circle.

But Juniper's beauty and aura were truly one of a kind. Fragile, pitiful, yet radiating a defiant stubbornness. She looked like a dew-kissed reed, practically begging to be claimed.

Yorke's eyes shamelessly roamed up and down her body, his dark intentions fully exposed.

Audrey hadn't expected him to still harbor feelings for Juniper after all these years. Her scalp prickled with fury, and she shoved Juniper even harder. "Why don't you just drop dead!"
