Chapter 641 Sick
“Give me a second. I’ll get you some ice.” Joaquin left, but he came back a short while later with some ice wrapped in a handkerchief. Then, he put that on her swollen palm.
Juniper smiled at him. “I can’t stay up with you guys on Fridays anymore, or I won’t be able to wake up on time on Saturday mornings.” “Is that why you were punished?”
“Yes. I was too sleepy, and I dozed off in class.” She pouted. “I see. I’ll remind you the next time, and I’ll tell Jameson too.” Joaquin was applying the ice ever so gently, worried he might hurt her.
“Sure.” After that, Juniper went back to her list of acupoints. “You go ahead. I’ll be quiet.”
“Alright.” In the meantime, Selena was about to see how Juniper was doing when she saw what Joaquin was doing. He was trying to lessen the swelling, and he wiped the water off Juniper’s hand from time to time.
Also, he blew on the swelling so it could go away quicker. On the other hand, Juniper was studying the list of acupoints like nobody’s business.
When Selena realized how close her kids had become, she smiled happily. They’re all grown up. They don’t need me anymore, I think. They can face a lot of things themselves now.
At that thought, she closed the door quietly before going back to her room. It was a lovely night that night, and she could see the moon hanging serenely in the sky from her window. Suddenly, she started missing Pierre. I wonder if he’s doing fine.
Selena thought that she might have overworked herself—either that, or her body might be breaking down since she was down with a cold after working overtime for a few days. She wouldn’t stop sneezing, and her snot wouldn’t stop flowing.
