    Chapter 142 A Thoughtful Child


    Selena burst into tears as soon as she heard what Juniper said. I’m so undeserving of this thoughtful


    and obedient child.


    “Mommy, don’t cry.” Juniper struggled to prop herself up before handing Selena some tissues to wipe


    her tears. Selena took them before holding Juniper in her arms while sitting by the bed.


    “Mommy, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I should’ve taken good care of myself instead of making you worry.”


    “No, Juniper, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have left you with Miss Linda. We’ll never be apart ever again,


    okay?”


    Juniper nodded her head eagerly. “Yeah. You can always bring me around with you after I get older. I


    promise to never cause trouble, tee-hee.”


    Hearing that, Selena stuck her face to Juniper’s while feeling sorry for her.

    “Mommy, do you think my injuries will leave scars? Will I look ugly?”


    “No, they won’t. They’re only light scratches, so they’ll recover soon. You have nothing to worry about.”


    “Okay!” Juniper gave a firm nod. “Mommy, it was thanks to Miss Linda that I was alright, so you have to


    give her a bonus. She was so incredible. I never knew she learned martial arts. She managed to push


    me out of harm’s way in a sh!”


    “Are you serious?” Selena gawked at her. All this time, Linda gave her an impression of being an


    extremely tender girl. There were a lot ofpetitors who applied for the position as her assistant the


    same time as Linda did. When put inparison to everyone else, neither her capabilities nor her


    education seemed remarkable.


    Back then, Selena already decided on who to hire, but she heard Linda calling her family when she


    went to the restroom. Weeping, she was apologizing over the phone for having failed to enter JNS


    Corporation. However, instead of consoling her, the person on the phone scolded her for being a failure


    and a disappointment.


    It wasn’t untilter on that Selena came to know Linda had a younger brother. Her family was partial to


    the boy, so she was forced to pay for her brother’s tuition. Perhaps due to once being in a simr


    circumstance, Selena could empathize with Linda, so hiring Linda was in fact an emotional decision.


    After she started working for her, Linda was indeed rather incapable, so she was constantly


    reprimanded, after which she would cry. Therefore, Selena’s impression of her was that of a crybaby,


    as well as a delicate girl in need of her protection. Considering the above, she never expected Linda to


    have learned martial arts. It was a shocking revtion.


    “Mommy, I’m not lying! Miss Linda reacted lightning-fast when the car came crashing our way! After


    pushing me away, she rolled over before quickly getting to her feet again!” Juniper was in total awe


    when she spoke. “I’m going to ask her where she learned martial arts next time! I also want to learn it


    so that I can protect you!”


    Selena rubbed her face on Juniper’s tiny cheeks. “Aw, you’re so nice! You’re my dear sweetheart!”


    “Aw, you’re so nice! The dear sweetheart’s Mommy!”


    Holding onto each other, they chuckled jovially. However, Selena acknowledged it was odd that Linda


    knew martial arts, as she just didn’t seem like the type.


    When Linda dropped by the next day to visit Juniper, Selena casually said, “Linda, Juniper told me I


    should thank you for saving her. She also told me you know martial arts. Since when did you learn


    that?”


    “Yeah! Miss Linda, where did you learn that? I want to learn too!” Juniper cried in excitement.
