Chapter 143 Suspicious Assistant
The smile on Linda’s face seemed forced, as the corner of her lips were twitching ever so slightly. “H-
How’s that possible? I don’t know martial arts!” Pulling her lips into a thin line, Linda smiled. “Isn’t there
amon saying about how humans have unlimited potential? All I could think of back then was to
save Juniper, so I suppose the crisis unlocked my potential.”
Juniper was decidedly a little disappointed, while Selena smiled awkwardly. “Well, I’ll have to thank you
anyway. I don’t know what would happen to Juniper if it wasn’t for you.”
With a much more rxed smile, Linda scratched her head. “Miss Yard, you don’t have to be so formal
with me. I’ve been looking after Juniper ever since she was a baby, so she’s like my child.”
Her remark led to her being flicked on the forehead by Selena. “You should get a boyfriend if you want
a child!”
All she did was smile back at Selena shyly.
Under Pierre’s arrangement, Juniper was admitted into a VIP ward and assigned under specialists for
optimal treatment. However, Selena didn’t think they needed to go that far, as Juniper only suffered
some bruises, which wasn’t that big of a deal. Two days into her treatment, Juniper beganining
that she would like to be discharged. Perhaps because she was hospitalized countless times when she
was young, so she was disinclined to remain in there for long.
Due to Pierre’s orders, the doctors dared not ck off on their job. Therefore, they suggested that she
should do a full medical screening. Thinking that it was about time for Juniper to have a screening as
she had done so regrly while in Springvale, Selena gave her consent.
The doctors performed numerous screening sessions, with a few of them requiring a few more days
before the results would be out, so Selena applied for Juniper to be discharged after all the screenings
were done with.
Back in the safety of her home, Juniper fell asleep when Selena was telling her a bedtime story. After
tucking her in, Selena returned to her room, but just as she was about to draw the curtains, she saw
someone staring at her from outside the window. Holding onto a ss of red wine, Pierre seemed to
have been waiting for a while. Then, he tilted his head, signaling for her to go to him.
After drawing the curtains, she left the house knowing that she couldn’t hide forever. Going over, she
realized that the door was unlocked when she was about to knock on it. Perhaps Pierre left it like that
for her. However, she didn’t want to go upstairs to the bedroom, as it was too suggestive of a ce.
Sitting down on the sofa, she decided to wait, but Pierre was nowhere to be seen no matter how long
she spent down there.
In the meantime, she knew she couldn’t dally, as she had a child at home. What if Juniper has a
nightmare, or if she needs anything? After cursing him multiple times in her mind, she relented and
went upstairs. When she arrived, Pierre was standing in the study with the same ss of wine in his
hands. He was standing in front of the window in the same pose, just that he was in a different room.
“Hey!” Upon hearing her call out to him, Pierre turned around, motioning for her toe forward, which
sheplied with reluctantly. As soon as she walked over to him, Pierre held her in his arms while
allowing her to stand in front of the window. “You—”
“Shh… Look outside.” Pierre ced a finger on his lips. Then, Selena turned to look at the skies
outside.

There was a silvery crescent moon, but not a single star was in sight in the vast expanse of the sky,
which made the moon seem all the more lonely. However, it was also as proud as could be while it
shone. Admittedly, it was a mesmerizing sight to behold on the dark backdrop of the sky. The scenery
was so healing that Selena forgot why she was there in the first ce.
