Chapter 379: Why Should I Give It to You
After Ella and Eric had left, Lauren finally stepped into the room to check on Henry.
She entered quietly, poured a glass of water, and brought it to Henry’s lips. These days, he no longer required a feeding tube and could consume liquid meals.
Suddenly, Lauren’s hand froze mid-air. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at Henry’s face.
There were unmistakable tear tracks running down his cheeks.
"Henry, you... you reacted! You’re aware of something! Oh my gosh!" Lauren exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement. She quickly set the glass down and grabbed her phone from a nearby table.

"Henry, look how good I am to you. I recorded Ella’s voice. Let me play it for you again!" Lauren said eagerly, pressing play on the recording.
