Someone had placed that device on him deliberately, and the thought sent a chill through her entire body.
That evening, when Christopher returned home, he found something he had not seen in years, which was his son laughing while soft music played in the background.
Noah moved freely without the device, and the sound did not frighten him anymore, which made the scene feel almost unreal.
Caroline stepped forward and said firmly, “Your son can hear, and that device is harming him,” hoping that the truth would finally be acknowledged.
Christopher barely paused before responding coldly, “You are dismissed immediately,” because accepting her words would mean admitting years of neglect.
Caroline tried once more, saying, “Please, just test it yourself before making that decision,” but he turned away without listening.
She left the mansion that night, carrying the weight of a truth that no one inside seemed ready to face.
Christopher could not sleep later that night because her words repeated endlessly in his mind, refusing to fade no matter how much he tried to ignore them.
