Chapter 13 You Will Propose, Right?
Selena sat on the floor before leaning against the bed in a daze. She then reached out to touch Juniper’s head. “It’s okay. You go back to sleep, and I’ll get myself some cold medicine.”
With that, Selena tried to get up, but her knees gave way, and she fell to the ground.
“Mommy, you should rest. I’ll go get Miss Linda to come over.” Juniper rolled out of bed and went to look for her phone. Just when she was about to call Selena’s assistant Linda, she suddenly thought of an idea. Next, she dialed Pierre’s number instead.
Selena was so weak that she didn’t notice what Juniper was doing. She simply thought that her daughter was calling Linda.
Pierre was asleep in the middle of the night when he heard a noise coming from the phone and saw Juniper’s call. Feeling rather odd about it, he picked it up.
“Hello.”
“Mr. Handsome, my mommy has a fever, and it’s awful. Will you come over?”
Pierre barely hesitated before saying, “Yes.”
The woman had been bathing in cold water for the whole afternoon, so it was unsurprising that her body could not stand it. Pierre was living in the villa next to hers, but in order to hide the fact that they lived so close, he deliberately delayed for ten minutes before going over.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Selena slumped at the edge of the bed in delirium.
Hearing the noise, Selena said with her eyes closed, “Linda? You there? I may need to go to the hospital. Please call a cab for me, and you stay home with Juniper. She can’t go to the hospital; there are too many bacteria and viruses there.”
Pierre walked over and picked Selena up. She struggled to raise her eyes to see the upside-down face in front of her, but before she had the strength to say anything, her eyelids drooped again.
“It’s okay. I can wear a face mask!” Juniper had already gotten out the face mask.
Pierre took Selena directly to the hospital.
The hospital’s emergency room was full of people at night, and the hospital beds were all filled. On the other hand, the IV room was emptier, but there were only benches there and no beds.
After consulting with the doctor, going through the tests, and getting the medicine, the nurse finally gave Selena an IV drip.
Selena was still weakly leaning on Pierre’s broad shoulders in a drowsy state.
Juniper held Selena’s hand, which had the IV needle in it, and pouted in a heartbroken manner. “Poor Mommy. Mommy, sleep well, and you will be fine.”
She patted Selena’s head and sat down by her side obediently. Meanwhile, Pierre looked at this pair of mother and daughter and thought that they were like each other’s carbon copy.
“Mr. Handsome, do you like my mommy?”
Pierre looked at Juniper’s innocent and lovely face. Do I like Selena? He and Selena had only known each other for a few days, so at best, he was just somewhat interested in her.
“Yeah.” Facing this adorable child, he decided to lie to her.
“Then do you love her?” Juniper asked immediately afterward.
“Yeah.”
Juniper heard Pierre’s words and finally let out a sigh of relief.
