He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 381

Juniper's mind was in a haze. She was already running a fever, and now everything was a chaotic blur. She numbly clutched the hem of Nelson's shirt.

Nelson had taken a shower and changed clothes before coming over. Now, looking down at her, he saw nothing but brokenness and confusion in her eyes. It was as if she could never hold on to anything in her life.

Her whole life seemed to be a series of farewells, parting with everything she loved.

A sharp pain struck Nelson's chest. He pulled her tightly into his arms. "It's fine. The person who sent this picture just wants to scare you. I've already had my men track the location. It's right here in the city. We'll find them soon."

Juniper was completely lifeless. She couldn't even manage to tremble; there was only a dead silence.

A call came in shortly after, confirming the exact location.

Nelson immediately headed for the door, but remembering Juniper was alone, he turned back and grabbed her wrist. "Let's go find Moonlight right now. My men are already heading there, and it's not far from here."

Juniper's eyes remained vacant as she let him pull her along.

When he pushed her into the car, Nelson leaned over to buckle her seatbelt.

But he didn't pull back right away. Instead, he cupped her face with one hand and gently kissed her lips. "It's okay. Don't worry."

Juniper blinked, completely unresponsive.

Since Finn was brought back to the Lawrence family a few years ago, he still carried the ruthlessness of someone who had fought his way up from the bottom. The elite circle didn't exactly welcome this kind of vibe because it was too dangerous. It felt like anyone who crossed him would end up badly, which was why no one in the Lawrence family could currently go up against him.

Nelson and Finn had crossed paths and fought in the past. After learning each other's backgrounds, they started collaborating long-term. Their personalities matched, making them best friends.

Finn didn't usually like attending the social gatherings in their circle; he was the outlier.

Lucas was beaten black and blue, laughing maniacally. "Just my rotten luck! My rotten luck!"

When he saw Nelson, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot. "Nelson, I remember now. I remember everything. Do you know why I targeted Juniper last time? My cousin told me to. Hahahaha! I was living the good life abroad, but she told me she saw Juniper in the city and that she was even prettier than before. I've had a thing for Juniper's stubbornness since college! I was intrigued, so I rushed back just to sleep with her. But I never expected... I never expected you'd cripple me for her! So I had to get revenge on you!"
