Chapter 317
After her treatment, Juniper had been feeling groggy. When she opened her eyes, she saw Pierre’sface directly in front of her. “Am I dreaming? Are you really Mr. Handsome?” She sprung up frombed to hug his neck. “I missed you so much! I even dreamed of you last night!”
Pierre held her in his arms. “Is that so? I missed you, too.” Whenever he was with Juniper, he wouldhide his sharp edge and speak in an exceptionally gentle tone.
“Mr. Handsome, why are you here?” Juniper questioned while checking him out curiously.
“I heard you summoning me in your dreams, so I came here as fast as I could.” He nudged hernose before she brushed her nose with his. Then, both of them laughed.
“Does the treatment hurt?” The smile on Pierre’s face stiffened all of a sudden.
Hearing that, Juniper shook her head. “It doesn’t. I’m not afraid, either.”
“Does the medicine taste bitter?”
With a pout on her face, Juniper nodded. “Yeah, it’s bitter. I wonder how long I’ll have to take themfor. They’re really bitter.”
Pierre caressed her hair, feeling sorry for her. “You’ll recover soon. After that, you won’t have to takemedicine anymore.”
All of a sudden, she grabbed his hand while asking, “Mr. Handsome, can you promise me onething?”
“Sure, just tell me.”
“If I die, can you please take care of my mother for me?”
Upon listening to her request, Pierre was overcome with a sense of melancholy, his words stuck inhis throat, paining him greatly.
“I know my mother thinks I won’t die, but who knows when I’m still sick? I’ll do my best to live on,but if—I mean, what if—I died, my poor mother will be left all alone, so Mr. Handsome, you have totake care of her in my stead.”
The sight of her pleading to him was heart-wrenching. She’s so mature for her age.
“You won’t die, Juniper. Trust me; you won’t.”
With a smile on her face, she nodded resolutely. “But if I still end up dying—”novelbin
“I’ll take care of your mother,” he quickly replied.
“Swear to me.”
Upon hearing that, he lifted three fingers, while Juniper stuck her ear close to his chest. “I swearthat I’ll take good care of your mother.”
“Okay, I can hear that you’re being sincere.” Juniper removed herself with a satisfied look on herface.
While he wanted to spend more time with her, he was short on time. “I have to go, Juniper. Staystrong and well, and make sure you listen to the doctor.”
“Sure, I will.”
After that, Pierre left the hospital. Juniper wasn’t quite awake during Pierre’s visit, so she fell asleepagain after letting out a yawn. When she woke up again, she felt as if she had a dream in whichPierre came to visit her.
Meanwhile, Pierre started making a series of arrangements by stopping all other tasks to focus onfinding Juniper’s biological father. Upon taking note of his decisions, Niall reminded, “PresidentFowler, do you still remember the beggar we met that day? Didn’t he say he has clues? Shouldn’twe go find him? He might be able to recall something.”
Hearing that, Pierre smirked. “Are you assuming that he’ll be able to provide us with leads?”
Startled, Niall asked, “Are you implying that he’s swindling us, and is just wanting to be afreeloader?”
“Anyway, I do need to meet him.”
After getting off the flight, they went to the mansion where they used to accommodate the beggar;there were servants who had been instructed to tend to the beggar’s needs. Upon entering thehouse, they saw a radiant man in a suit. The man had his hair trimmed, while his dark skin had ahealthy glow to it. All in all, he looked quite handsome.
