A clear voice suddenly pierced the silence her ears had known for so long, and for a moment, Summer Thorne was too stunned to react.
In fact, it took her several moments to realize it was Ivan Gray's voice.
They were in the same car, with him in the front and her in the back. Ivan Gray drove smoothly, his demeanor perfectly normal.
But no one could have possibly imagined that Summer Thorne's hearing would suddenly, partially return.
She didn't know when Ivan Gray had started speaking, nor did she know what he had said before this.
But the few sentences she had just caught left her momentarily stunned.
Before she could fully process it, the car fell silent once more, making her wonder if her hearing had returned for a mere instant, only to disappear again.
But in the next moment, Ivan Gray's voice sounded again—
"You have no idea how much he needs you. He desperately wants you by his side, but he won't hurt you, so he'd rather bear the pain alone..."
