He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 170

Not to mention, Alistair was young, commanding, and exuded an undeniable aura of authority.

Beatrice immediately reeled in her hysteria. "And you are?"

"I'm a friend of Juniper's. We recently decided to try dating, but due to our demanding schedules, we've had to put things on hold. I certainly didn't expect her family to be hit with such a crisis."

Taken aback, Beatrice quickly shot a desperate look at Juniper, silently demanding confirmation.

Juniper’s spirit was already reduced to ashes; her head was throbbing with blinding pain.

Exercising perfect boundaries, Alistair simply kept a supportive arm around her shoulders. "I'm an attending physician at this hospital. I'm going to take Juniper home to rest, and then I'll review Mr. Lane's charts. If there's anything I can do to help, I absolutely will."

Beatrice aggressively shoved Juniper forward, looking like she wanted to physically toss her into Alistair's arms.

"Go on then! June, hurry up and go with him."

Juniper moved like a wooden puppet. A wave of intense nausea hit her; her migraine was so severe it made her want to vomit.

From the nightmare at the hotel last night to this very second, the relentless trauma had forced her to bury all her emotions until she was suffocating.

Sensing she was on the verge of collapsing, Alistair tightened his grip, silently anchoring her.

Watching him guide her away, Beatrice noted his prestigious title and striking looks.

Catching a passing nurse, Beatrice quickly grabbed her wrist. "Do you know that doctor? What's his deal? Is he a big shot?"

The moment the young nurse heard Alistair's name, she lit up. "Dr. Vaughn is incredible! He did his advanced fellowship abroad. A top-tier private hospital offered him an absolute fortune—millions of dollars a year—to jump ship, and he turned them down! He's the golden boy of our hospital, and he's gorgeous too."

Beatrice couldn't believe her ears. A man of that caliber was actually interested in Juniper?

Juniper didn't even have her college diploma!

She swallowed hard. "Is he... is he married?"

And yet, Juniper had somehow stumbled into it.

From the moment Nadine married into the Lane family, she had been violently jealous of Juniper’s beauty.

She was jealous that Juniper had snagged someone as powerful as Nelson, while Nelson had never given Nadine the time of day.

And now, even with her reputation in absolute ruins, Juniper had effortlessly secured another elite safety net.

What exactly was so special about this used trash?!

Nadine’s entire body went rigid with envy, her chest burning with so much resentment she felt she might explode.

If her husband had even a fraction of that competence, she wouldn't be suffering like this, terrified of losing her only home!

Why did Juniper always get all the luck!
