    Chapter 489


    Grace was at the hospital visiting Nelson. This time, Nelson was awake and interacting with K


    Corbyn who was also in the room. K Corbyn was pointing at various objects and telling Nelson what


    they were.


    Nelson was listening attentively, literally listening. He would asionally point at the item that K


    Corbyn mentioned earlier and she would repeat it for him.


    Grace called out, “Nelson.”


    At that moment, the boy turned around to look in her


    direction.


    This had never happened before. That meant that Nelson. could hear her voice! Grace was ted for


    the boy.


    Since Nelson could hear now, it meant that there was a


    chance he could learn to speak in the future. As long as be wore a hearing aid, he could then function


    like a normal


    person.


    Although three years old was a littlete as doctors usually rmend that treatment begin as early


    as possible, the opportunity was notpletely over as most children are not


    fully developed yet and would still absorb new sounds andnguages like a sponge.


    Grace went forward and ruffled the boy’s head. “Nelson, you can now hear sounds. It won’t be long


    before you start


    talking.”


    The boy was very excited to hear Grace’s voice. He waved both hands. Then, he pointed all over the


    room while making some audible sounds as if trying to express himself.


    Grace smiled and responded to each item that the boy pointed at.


    “Why are you here today? Haven’t you just recently visited Nelson?” K Corbyn asked.


    “Nelson was still sleeping thest time I came. That’s why I came again today to see him. Fortunately,


    I’m in luck to see Nelson awake,” Grace said. Then, she asked K Corbyn, “How is Nelson now? Is


    this considered a good sign?”


    “It’s not bad. He can be discharged in another two days’ time. Later, he’ll need to go to special sses


    for about a year. The doctor said that if he does well there, he should be able to catch up with his


    speech. Then, he’ll be able to proceed with regr kindergarten.”


    “If that’s the case, it’s great to hear,” Grace said.


    “Yea.” K Corbyn smiled and let her mother bring Nelson for


    a stroll around the hospital before she poured a cup of water


    for Grace. “Mr. Reed isn’t here today.”


    “Yes, he went to his office. I had nothing to do at home and


    was bored. So I came over here.”


    “You and him…” K Corbyn hesitated for a moment. “You don’t need to make yourself so tired by


    working as a delivery


    person at my shop. Mr. Reed can find you plenty of suitable


    jobs.”

    Who would have thought that Jason’s girlfriend would be working as a delivery person in her small


    restaurant? Even K Corbyn herself could hardly believe that.


    Grace pursed her lips and said, “Perhaps… But probably out of dignity, I wish that I can be independent


    to a certain. degree, I don’t wish to be a parasite who relies fully on him.”


    Perhaps the lesson she obtained from her rtionship with Sean Stevens was so great that she was


    insistent on this, matter up till now.
