He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 237

Lydia looked incredibly smug as she spoke, her lips curving into a triumphant smirk while she scrutinized Juniper's reaction.

Juniper had previously suspected someone had bribed Nadine to stage Brooks's accident, but no one in her family had believed her.

She looked up slowly to meet Lydia's gaze. Lydia raised a brow perfectly. "Nelson was the one who had your brother crippled. And I just had someone deliver that lovely little secret right to Brooks at the hospital. Oh, and I also made sure to inform him that you spent last night warming Nelson's bed."

Lydia casually flipped her hair over her shoulder, seamlessly slipping back into her flawlessly elegant persona. "As for how your brother is going to react to all of this... well, that's not my problem."

She turned, got back into her luxury car, and signaled the driver to pull away.

She wasn't stupid enough to cause a massive scene in a public space. There were plenty of pawns willing to do the dirty work for her.

She was going to slowly, agonizingly push Juniper to the brink of a total mental collapse, while making absolutely sure Nelson washed his hands of her forever.

If Juniper were simply killed off now, Nelson would never forget her.

The living could never compete with a ghost.

Lydia leaned back against the plush leather seat and closed her eyes. Thank God she still had Josie. Nelson loved that girl unconditionally.

She lowered her lashes, staring at the message on her phone. After a moment's hesitation, she typed out a text to the overseas hospital.

Within minutes, the overseas facility contacted Nelson, informing him that they were preparing to transfer Kieran back to Metropolis.

Kieran had passed the critical danger zone but remained entirely comatose, trapped in a vegetative state.

Lydia's fingers tightened around her phone. She had debated whether to pull this trigger, but she clearly had no other options left.

If she wanted Nelson to despise Juniper, Kieran had to be brought into play.

When Nelson received the call, he was genuinely surprised.

Her voice was raw and hoarse. She didn't step out of the elevator.

Nelson stepped inside and offered a comforting nod. "I'll go pick him up. I'll handle all the arrangements."

Lydia rubbed her tear-streaked eyes. "I know. It's just Josie..."

She reached out, her fingers lightly gripping the sleeve of his jacket. Her tone was pleading. "Josie is highly sensitive right now. I'm worried she'll..."

Nelson looked down at her pale fingers. "Josie doesn't need to know. You and I just need to visit Kieran as much as possible. The doctors said talking to him increases the chances of him waking up."

Lydia nodded, pressing her lips together. "Nelson... could you try to keep Juniper away from me from now on? Please? Just seeing her gives me a migraine."

She brought a hand to her temple, her face entirely devoid of color. "A truly blinding headache. You understand, right?"
