He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 314

Yara Jenkins stood with her hands on her hips, protecting Juniper like a fierce mother hen. "Who else would I be cursing at? Stay the hell away from June before people start claiming she's the one harassing you again. Do you have any idea how much damage you caused her when you just walked away? She was locked up in..."

Before she could finish, Juniper cut her off. "Yara, that's enough."

Yara snapped her mouth shut. She knew Juniper well enough to understand that dragging up the past was too humiliating.

Besides, what was the point of telling him? Nelson's only goal now was to make Juniper suffer—Juniper had heard him say it herself. If he found out what she had endured, he'd probably just gloat.

Yara lifted her chin defiantly, her finger practically jabbing Nelson in the face. "Get the hell out. Just you standing there is polluting the air in this room! Let me tell you, Nelson, as long as I have breath in my body, I will never let you near June again! I will literally die before I let it happen!"

She was dead serious, refusing to yield an inch.

Nelson thought she was completely unhinged. Did Yara actually believe he was the one who owed Juniper an apology?

He let out a cold, mocking laugh. "Do you realize that with one word from me, you'd never work in this hospital again?"

Juniper knew how ruthless he could be; he always followed through on his threats. She frowned. "Yara, enough."

Juniper found it somewhat amusing and gently shook Yara's arm. "Alright, Nurse Yara, aren't you afraid of getting fired?"

Of course Yara was afraid; her job was her lifeline, and she had worked incredibly hard to pass the exams to get it. But she had seen what Juniper looked like back then, and she knew exactly how much she had suffered.

She grabbed Juniper by the shoulders, staring at her intensely. "If you ever get back together with Nelson, I swear I'll go find a rope and hang myself! June, swear to me right now. Swear it."

Juniper quickly covered Yara's mouth, looking highly disapproving. "I can swear on my own life, but never on yours. And don't joke about things like that. The universe might be listening."
