He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 366

Nelson jolted upright in his seat, convinced he had misheard. Just yesterday, they said his condition was improving!

He massaged his throbbing temples. "Are you absolutely sure you're not joking?"

"Mr. Saint, we are incredibly sorry. Mr. Lane pulled his oxygen tube out himself."

Nelson nearly dropped his phone. His fingers trembled violently, and he barely registered the rest of the doctor's explanation.

He swallowed hard multiple times before hanging up, staring blankly out the windshield.

A primal terror began to violently multiply in his chest. He pulled his own tube out?

Why?

It made zero sense.

Truthfully, Nelson had never once respected anyone in the Lane family.

Nadine was greedy and self-serving.

Beatrice played the devoted mother but was incredibly calculated.

As for Walter, he was an absolute coward—a failure in the real world who resorted to playing a tyrant inside his own home.

And Brooks was just a pathetic carbon copy of his parents.

Nelson had always looked at them with sheer disgust. The mere thought that Juniper was tied to such a family made his blood boil.

But Walter had been receiving the best medical care money could buy. Why would he suddenly choose to die?

His illness had deteriorated so fast that even lifting his hand was a grueling effort. Yanking out a securely fastened oxygen tube would have required dozens of agonizing, repeated attempts. He genuinely wanted to die. Why?

Nelson's Adam's apple bobbed frantically. A horrific, sickening theory crept into his mind—Walter had overheard his conversation with Yvonne.

His hands gripped the steering wheel in a death grip. No, that was impossible. There was no way Walter Lane would sacrifice his own life just because someone insulted his daughter.

He was too much of a coward! Even after humiliating himself in front of all those elites, he had only dared to slap Juniper to vent his frustration.

His violence was only ever aimed at those weaker than him because he knew Juniper wouldn't fight back.

The veins on the back of Nelson's hands bulged aggressively. He refused to believe it. Or rather, he was utterly terrified to believe it.

He fiercely convinced himself that it couldn't be the truth.

Because if it was, how much would Juniper hate him?
