Chapter 183
“I’m bored, Mommy.” Juniper was still young after all, so she didn’t have much patience. Publichospitals were crowded, so many even had to wait for the entire day just to see the doctor.
“It’s just a little longer, for my turn is coming soon.” Selena glanced at the number in her hand beforeshifting her gaze to the screen above her head. It’s just a few people more.
“I’m thirsty, Mommy. Can I go and buy a drink?” The vending machine was just a few steps awayfrom them.
“Alright, we’ll go together.”
With some money in her hand, Juniper happily skipped to the vending machine that sold beveragesand snacks. Plastering herself to the display window, she darted her eyes left and right.
At this precise moment, Selena’s cell phone rang. It’s a call from Linda, so this must be a businessmatter. However, there were too many people here, so it wasn’t conducive for a phone call.Coincidentally, the stairwell was just at the side, so she told her daughter, “Juniper, come and findme at the stairwell later. I’m going to take a call. Hurry up, okay?”
“Okay, Mommy!”
Selena kept an eye on Juniper as she walked into the stairwell. There was a window on the door ofthe stairwell, so she kept Juniper in sight through the window while answering her call.
Meanwhile, Meredith was wearing a mask and sunglasses, whereas Megan didn’t put on anydisguise. The two of them walked over, chatting and laughing. “Look! Isn’t that Selena’s daughter?”As Megan said this, she was all geared up to rush over. “What bad luck! Selena must besomewhere nearby!”
“Megan, let’s not mess with her. She’s now with Pierre, after all.”
“Are you afraid of her? How could you be afraid of her, Merry? She stole your man, so she’s aseductress, a third party who’s scorned by everyone! I’ll teach her a lesson today!” As Meganspoke, she stalked toward Juniper menacingly.
In the blink of an eye, Selena discovered Juniper gone from the vending machine, striking abjectfear into her. “We’ll talk later. I’m hanging up!”
Then, she swiftly exited the stairwell and sprinted to the vending machine, but there was no sign ofJuniper even when she swung her gaze everywhere. Thus, she hurriedly asked the people in thevicinity, “Excuse me, but did you see a little girl who’s this tall, dressed in red sports attire?” Sheused hand gestures in her description while speaking, but most of them replied in the negative.After all, everyone was here for treatment, so they hadn’t bothered about someone else’s child.novelbin
As she anxiously looked around, someone suddenly patted her thigh. “I saw her. Two women cameover earlier and took her there.” It was an old lady who spoke, and she pointed at the escalator. Itwas the third floor here, so there was an escalator.
After conveying her thanks, Selena raced in the direction indicated by the old lady. However, shedidn’t see Juniper. Instead, she saw two women—Meredith and Megan. Quickly charging over, shegrabbed Megan’s collar. “Where’s Juniper?”
Megan saw red at her violent attitude. “Are you a rabid dog that rushed up to bite me?”
“If I were a rabid dog, you’d be the first person I maul!” Selena snarled viciously. “Where’s Juniper?Return my daughter to me!”
“You’re looking for your daughter? Beg me. If you beg me, I’ll find her for you.”
Sure enough, they took Juniper away! Selena stared at Megan with intense enmity. “Give me mychild!” she roared, attracting the attention of many.
As Selena held Megan’s collar, she exerted pressure. Having trouble breathing, Megan startedstruggling wildly, and the two of them grappled, stumbling to the escalator’s landing plate. Theascending escalator was out of order, so it was currently at a standstill.
“Stop it!” Meredith called out helplessly.
“Talk!” Selena bellowed.
