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. Before Ella entered the room earlier, Lauren had discreetly left her phone behind, recording everything.
She knew Henry cared deeply for Ella, so she had secretly recorded Ella's visit. It was her way of giving Henry something familiar to hear, hoping it might comfort him.
