?Chapter 336:


    Despite her earlier excitement, Kiera now hid behind Malcolm, too shy toe forward.


    Slightly surprised by her sudden timidity, Malcolm raised his eyebrows.


    “Kiera, didn’t you have something to say to Elena?” he asked gently.


    Kiera bit her lips, finally mustering the courage to nce at Elena. She was about to step forward when she caught sight of Louis’ amused expression and froze.


    Crimson flushed her cheeks, and even the tips of her ears turned red as she met Louis’ teasing gaze.


    Warmly, Elena smiled and asked, “What do you want to say to me, Kiera?”


    Encouraged by Elena’s question, Kiera finally stepped out from behind Malcolm, her face still flushed with shyness.


    Thick bangs covered half her face, revealing only her bright, innocent eyes that now held a mixture of nervousness and determination. Her rosy cheeks made her look incredibly endearing.


    Gathering her courage, she spoke softly, her voice sweet. “Elena, I can now say aplete sentence.”


    A blend of shyness and excitement sparkled in her eyes as she shared her achievement. Anyone could see that being able to speak like ordinary people brought Kiera immense joy.


    The corners of Elena’s lips curved into a warm smile. “That’s remarkable, Kiera.”


    Hearing Elena’s praise, Kiera’s face deepened into an even richer shade of red. Deep down, she knew it wasn’t anything extraordinary for most, but for her, this milestone meant everything.


    There was a time when Kiera believed she would never hear or speak again.


    During her stay at Chasen’s house, she had grown ustomed to a silent, lonely world.


    But now, everything had changed—she not only lived with her father and brother but could also hear and speak.


    For Kiera, this felt like an impossible dream that had somehowe true. She owed it all to Elena, whom she admired deeply.


    With careful hands, Kiera produced a handmade doll and shyly offered it to Elena.

    “Is this for me?” Elena asked.


    Kiera nodded quietly, uncertain if Elena would appreciate such a simple gift.


    “It’s really cute. Thank you,” Elena said warmly.


    Seeing Elena’s appreciation, Kiera pressed her lips together and smiled bashfully.


    At that moment, a deep, yful voice interrupted the tender exchange. Louis squinted mischievously. “So, you brought a gift for Elena. Where’s mine?”


    At his unexpected inquiry, Kiera’s eyes flickered nervously, and she lowered her head in momentary embarrassment.


    Louis gritted his teeth in mock offense. “After all the training I gave you, and I can’t even get a gift from you?”


    With Elena preupied with other matters and Louis having some free time after finishing his film project, Elena had entrusted Kiera’s rehabilitation sessions to him.


    Being put on the spot so directly made Kiera visibly flustered as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other.
