He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 262

Maybe being backed into a corner by these psychos had finally pushed her over the edge.

Nelson stared at her in utter shock. It was painfully obvious he thought Juniper had completely lost her mind.

"Are you even human, Juniper? Do you hear what's coming out of your mouth?"

Juniper tilted her chin up, holding the puppy tight. "Then tell her to stay the hell away from me. Looking at your perfectly happy little family makes me sick to my stomach."

With that, she turned and walked away. Moonlight nudged affectionately against her chin, looking incredibly sweet.

A smile finally returned to Juniper's lips as she nuzzled the puppy back. "Let's go home."

Josie was still sitting on the ground, wailing at the top of her lungs. "Dad! That bad woman! That horrible woman! Waaaah!"

Lydia looked heartbroken. Still bearing the red mark of Juniper's slap, she hurried over and helped Josie up. "Stop crying, sweetie."

"Mom, does it hurt? I'll blow on it for you."

Lydia shook her head, then looked up at Nelson with pitiful, tear-filled eyes. "Nelson, is Leo going to be okay?"

Leo was the cat's name. Josie had picked it out.

Nelson didn't answer. His gaze was fixed solely on Juniper.

She had already gotten into her car, placing the puppy in the passenger seat.

Even from a distance, he could see the genuine, radiant smile on her face—the kind of smile he hadn't seen from her in years.

Noticing where his attention was directed, a momentary flash of pure, twisted hatred crossed Lydia's face.

Her breathing turned ragged. *Juniper. That vile bitch!*

She covertly pinched Josie's arm. Josie's wailing instantly pitched an octave higher, finally dragging Nelson's attention back.

He crouched down and rubbed the little girl's head. "Stop crying."
