Female Novel
Chapter 279
However, Selena realized when the truth was uncovered that Pierre wasn’t in fact doubting her. Thereason he refused to marry her was because he wanted to protect her. In fact, his identity dictatedthat he would never be able to indulge in marital bliss. Seeing that he wasn’t riled up by the fact thatshe was a spy, she figured he must’ve loved her, or else he would’ve already put a bullet throughher head. However, she wasn’t exactly certain if her conjecture was right. She already mademultiple misjudgements prior to this, so she no longer had the courage to make a guess.
By the next morning, Juniper rose with the sun. Upon noticing that Selena was back when sheopened her eyes, a smile bloomed on her face.
“You’re finally awake. What would you like to have for breakfast?”
“Um... I’d like some congee.”
“Sure. I’ll go get some for you.” With that, Selena left to buy breakfast. She returned later on in ajolly mood with the congee that Juniper wanted, only to see Juniper sitting on the bed with her faceand hands smeared with blood. “Juniper!” Making a dash toward her daughter, she asked, “Whathappened?”
“Don’t worry, Mom. It’s just a nosebleed.” Juniper seemed much calmer than her mother, as itwasn’t her first time getting a nosebleed.
Deftly, Selena helped Juniper stop the bleeding. Although she managed to stop it, she was still alittle worried about her, so she had a doctor do a checkup on Juniper. Later on, she was called intothe doctor’s office.
Ever since Juniper was hospitalized, she came to learn more about the doctor’s office. The doctorswould only speak to patients there whenever a grave situation occurred. If the patient wasrecovering or never had much of a problem to begin with, the doctor would simply talk to them in the
ward without needing to have a conversation in the office. Therefore, she was inexplicably nervous.“Doctor, does my daughter’s nose bleed indicate something really bad?”
Instead of giving an immediate reply, the doctor pondered on the question before answering, “Yes.”
The doctor’s definitive reply made her feel as if her world was crumbling. Why are the heavensunwilling to let go of this poor child? “What’s her condition?”
With his palm facing downward, the doctor made a gesture to indicate to her to keep calm. “Youhave to remain calm. Listen to my explanation first.”
However, it was just impossible to not get all agitated. “Doctor, tell me the truth. I can handle it.”
“Your daughter has leukemia.”novelbin
I knew it! Selena screwed her eyes shut in agony. Seeing that the doctor called her into his officeover something as minor as a nosebleed, she already had an inkling that Juniper might haveleukemia. However, having her conjecture being confirmed by the doctor was still devastating. “Howcould this be? Juniper...” She choked on her own words.
“Miss Yard, you don’t need to be overly concerned. With modern medicine, we have moreknowledge regarding leukemia, so we have less to fear.”
It wasn’t until then that Selena lifted her head to look at the doctor. “Is there a cure?”
“Your daughter is lucky, as her condition isn’t terminal. Besides, she is still young, so she has a highchance of making a full recovery after treatment. We have a few patients with a similar case whowere cured, so we will definitely be able to get her condition under control as well as present acure.”
The doctor’s explanation seemed to have given her some hope. If all goes according to what thedoctor says, there’s still much hope in the situation! she thought to herself. “So what do we need todo? Do we need a bone marrow transplant?”
“While that might be the best option, her current condition isn’t very severe, so we can first try outother regular options for treatment first.”
