Meanwhile, Jude only stayed over for a night before returning to the filming set. It turned out thatshe was briefly in Astoria for a shooting. Hence, later that day, Selena dressed Juniper up to headout. Due to the cold weather, she wrapped Juniper in many layers until the little girl waddled aroundlike a penguin.
“Juniper, are you sure you want to visit Jameson? Are you not angry at him anymore?”
Juniper nodded earnestly. “Yes, I am not mad at him anymore. Mr. Handsome’s mistake has nothingto do with the two boys. I really hope that he will get better soon.”
Pleased, Selena caressed the bangs on Juniper’s forehead. “Good girl. Let’s go.”
Then, Juniper held her mother’s hand, and the idea of meeting her friend soon cheered her upgreatly.
When they opened the door to leave, however, they bumped into Pierre, whose hand was frozenmid-air in an attempt to press the doorbell. Selena stared wide-eyed at him, and he returned a blankstare at her. The expressions on their faces were amusing to watch, and an awkward air lingeredaround them.
“Jamie!” Juniper jumped excitedly and gave him a big hug. “Are you feeling better?”
Thanks to the children, the awkwardness between the adults dissolved in no time. Then, Selenaquickly pulled Jameson into the warmth of the house. “Come in now. It’s freezing out there.”
In the meantime, Pierre followed Jameson into the house even though he was uninvited.
The moment the boy was inside the house, Selena was already at work. She deftly peeled off thelayers of winter clothing on Juniper and helped Jameson to take off his jacket as well. Now that shehad taken a closer look at the boy, she noticed his drastically thinner figure and felt sorry for him.Even though she knew that the twins were Meredith’s children, she did not have the heart to holdgrudges against the kids just because she had a conflict with their parents.
Then, she felt his forehead for his body temperature and commented, “You are still running a highfever—at least 38 degrees Celsius and above. You need to take medicine. Have you been to thehospital?”
Although she did not look at Pierre at all, he understood that she was addressing the question tohim. “Our family doctor has performed a check-up on him. He likely has Roseola, but it is not aconfirmed diagnosis yet.”
Hearing that, Selena sighed in relief. “If it’s Roseola, that is not a major concern at all. When hisfever goes down and he develops rashes, he will recover fully, but he still needs to takeparacetamol now.” Next, she grabbed a thermometer to measure Jameson’s body temperature.Indeed, just like she had guessed, his temperature was hovering around 38 degrees. Hence, shequickly found some paracetamol and made Jameson take it.
Perhaps due to the change in environment, Jameson was more cheerful even though he was stillfeverish. “I want pineapple rice,” he told Selena, looking at her with puppy eyes.
In response, she sighed and rubbed his head. “No, pineapple rice is too heavy for you becauseyou’re sick now. How about this? I will make you something nice. Is that cool? You will not bedisappointed.”
“Mommy is super good at cooking. You tried her food before, didn’t you?” Juniper said.
To that, Jameson nodded in agreement and waited to be served. Soon, the two kids were playinghappily together, while Selena left Pierre alone in the living room and busied herself in the kitchen.Having nothing to do, he leaned against the sofa, feeling left out.
