Female Novel
Chapter 387
It’s going to be rowdy from now on.
Juniper’s doctor summoned Selena three days after that. “Your daughter may be discharged now,Miss Yard.”
Selena was glad to hear that. “Can she? Is she fit enough now?”novelbin
“Yes. All her stats are normal, and she’s in a stable state, so she’s fine for now. But you shouldknow relapses can easily happen. Only a bone marrow transplant or cord blood treatment can fullyheal her.”
Selena nodded. “I know that.”
“I think Juniper’s in a great state. You can try for a baby if you want and use its cord blood to treatJuniper, Miss Yard.”
Selena hung her head low. She wanted for Juniper to get a bone marrow transplant, but her fatherwas Pierre. He was a soldier, and a bone marrow transplant would affect his body adversely. If hewent through with it, that’d spell the end for his military life. Juniper’s brothers’ bone marrow wouldwork, but they were just kids, and she didn’t want them to suffer at that age.
The best way was to try for another child and use its cord blood to help Juniper, but Juniper saidthat she wanted babies to be born out of love rather than necessity.
“What is it, Miss Yard? Is something the matter?”
Selena shook her head. “We’re still thinking about it. Thank you anyway, doctor.”
“Of course. You may go through the discharge paperwork now.”
“Sure.” Selena was happy when she left the doctor’s office. Finally, Juniper can live a normal child’slife instead of getting cooped up in a little ward.
At the same time, the kids were plotting something in the ward. “Haven’t you guys noticed? Daddy’sbeen absent these days,” Juniper blurted. She was close to her father, after all.
“Nope. Now that you mentioned it, has he ever visited Juniper before?” Jameson was the last toappear, so he didn’t know much about the previous events. All he cared about was his unfinishedsandwich. Yummy.
“No,” Joaquin answered firmly.
“I think Mommy and Daddy must be fighting.” Juniper pouted. “I bet that’s the case, or he wouldhave come for me by now. Mommy must have gotten on his nerves again.”
Selena would be heartbroken if she heard that. She’d probably think, All that time on her, wasted.
“Or maybe it’s the other way around.” Joaquin knew what his father was like. Well, the couple wasfighting almost every day anyway, but it was different this time. Pierre was right in Digton City, sohe’d have time for a visit at night no matter how busy he was, but he never came. Not even once.
Selena came in while they were still in the middle of discussion. Joaquin coughed, and the kidsstopped talking.
“What were you plotting?” Selena teased them. “Good news. We can leave soon.”
“Mommy, why hasn’t Daddy come to see me these past couple of days?” Juniper blinked at Selenainnocently.
Selena’s smile froze. How should I explain this to them? Damn you, Pierre. Now I have to handle allthis sh*t. “He’s busy.”
Juniper didn’t call her out on that lie. “Can you call him then, Mommy? Like right now? Tell him Imiss him.”
