He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 364

Brooks was a filial son, but his devotion had morphed into cowardly submission after years of Nadine Lane's constant belittling.

Now, he had no one left, and his child wasn't even his. In his frantic rush to get to the hospital, he had fallen out of his chair multiple times. Sometimes he wondered if using Juniper's money to buy that house had cursed him. This was all retribution.

A kind stranger had eventually pushed him into the lobby, but his clothes were still covered in dirt from his falls.

Juniper looked up at him, her eyes completely hollow. "Brooks."

Brooks wanted to scream, but the sheer volume of tragedies he had endured lately left him entirely speechless.

With absolute numbness, Juniper pushed his wheelchair down to the morgue to see Walter one last time. Even now, his eyes refused to close.

Brooks slumped over the edge of the table, agonizingly gripping the white sheet covering the body.

They stayed in silence for ten minutes before Brooks finally choked out, "Did Dad..."

Juniper blinked. She was physically standing in the room, but her soul felt a million miles away, making every sound around her echo with a hollow, surreal distance.

"The doctor said he pulled the tube out himself."

"I don't believe it!"

Pure hatred flared in Brooks's eyes. He grabbed Juniper's wrist. "Someone must have gone into his room! Did you check the cameras?"

Her mind was a chaotic blur, her eyelashes fluttering down. "I checked them last night."

The footage showed that after she and Alistair had left, Nelson had walked away, and no one else had entered the room.

"Then it was Nelson!"

Brooks clenched his fists, staring down at his useless legs. "He ordered his men to break my legs! Juniper, it's him! He is a curse on our family. Getting close to him only brings absolute ruin."

Juniper swallowed hard, organizing the cremation before pushing Brooks outside. The sun was warm, but she felt entirely frozen to the core.

Brooks couldn't stop sobbing. He had thought he was out of tears, but the pain just kept coming.
