Female Novel
Chapter 142
Selena burst into tears as soon as she heard what Juniper said. I’m so undeserving of thisthoughtful and obedient child.
“Mommy, don’t cry.” Juniper struggled to prop herself up before handing Selena some tissues towipe her tears. Selena took them before holding Juniper in her arms while sitting by the bed.
“Mommy, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I should’ve taken good care of myself instead of making youworry.”
“No, Juniper, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have left you with Miss Linda. We’ll never be apart ever again,okay?”
Juniper nodded her head eagerly. “Yeah. You can always bring me around with you after I get older.I promise to never cause trouble, tee-hee.”
Hearing that, Selena stuck her face to Juniper’s while feeling sorry for her.
“Mommy, do you think my injuries will leave scars? Will I look ugly?”
“No, they won’t. They’re only light scratches, so they’ll recover soon. You have nothing to worryabout.”
“Okay!” Juniper gave a firm nod. “Mommy, it was thanks to Miss Linda that I was alright, so youhave to give her a bonus. She was so incredible. I never knew she learned martial arts. Shemanaged to push me out of harm’s way in a flash!”
“Are you serious?” Selena gawked at her. All this time, Linda gave her an impression of being anextremely tender girl. There were a lot of competitors who applied for the position as her assistantthe same time as Linda did. When put in comparison to everyone else, neither her capabilities norher education seemed remarkable.
Back then, Selena already decided on who to hire, but she heard Linda calling her family when shewent to the restroom. Weeping, she was apologizing over the phone for having failed to enter JNSCorporation. However, instead of consoling her, the person on the phone scolded her for being afailure and a disappointment.
It wasn’t until later on that Selena came to know Linda had a younger brother. Her family was partialto the boy, so she was forced to pay for her brother’s tuition. Perhaps due to once being in a similarcircumstance, Selena could empathize with Linda, so hiring Linda was in fact an emotional decision.
After she started working for her, Linda was indeed rather incapable, so she was constantlyreprimanded, after which she would cry. Therefore, Selena’s impression of her was that of acrybaby, as well as a delicate girl in need of her protection. Considering the above, she neverexpected Linda to have learned martial arts. It was a shocking revelation.
“Mommy, I’m not lying! Miss Linda reacted lightning-fast when the car came crashing our way! Afterpushing me away, she rolled over before quickly getting to her feet again!” Juniper was in total awewhen she spoke. “I’m going to ask her where she learned martial arts next time! I also want to learnit so that I can protect you!”
Selena rubbed her face on Juniper’s tiny cheeks. “Aw, you’re so nice! You’re my dear sweetheart!”novelbin
“Aw, you’re so nice! The dear sweetheart’s Mommy!”
Holding onto each other, they chuckled jovially. However, Selena acknowledged it was odd thatLinda knew martial arts, as she just didn’t seem like the type.
When Linda dropped by the next day to visit Juniper, Selena casually said, “Linda, Juniper told me Ishould thank you for saving her. She also told me you know martial arts. Since when did you learnthat?”
“Yeah! Miss Linda, where did you learn that? I want to learn too!” Juniper cried in excitement.
