Chapter 281
Chapter 281 Her Biological Father
Most specialists would rmend patients to get a transnt—either a bone marrow or a cord blood
one—if they met the requirements, as a rpse would most probably be more severe than the first
time. If anything went wrong, it was likely that not even a bone marrow transnt would help.
Needless to say, modern medicine was constantly being improved, so nobody had the final answer
regarding treatment methods. Nobody dared to im the methods as either foolproof or unfeasible. In
fact, a lot of the doctors tended to leave the oue up to fate.
Therefore, Selena promptly submitted a request for the hospital to start finding a match for Juniper.
When Melissa caught wind of the news, she had everyone get tested in an attempt to find a match for
Juniper.

After all, the more tests they conducted, the higher the chance in that regard. After everybody was
tested, all that remained was to wait for the results. Due to theplexity of the tests, a few days were
needed before they could get the results.
When the doctor did his rounds, Selena inquired about the progress of the matching test. Shaking his
head, the doctor told her, “Don’t worry too much. We have yet to get results.” Selena nodded in
response, as she knew she was being impatient. On the next instant, the doctor asked, “However, I
haven’t seen the child’s father. Does she not have one?”
Selena’s heart sank upon hearing the question, as she had totally forgotten about him, or rather, she
had always thought that Juniper had no father. All along, Juniper belonged to her alone, so she was
without any other rtions. However, she realized at that moment that Juniper’s father mighte in
handy.
“Um, I am not judging you. However, from a purely medical point of view, the patient’s siblings are the
first choice as donors, as fullypatible transnts have a lower chance of rejection, as well as a
higher sess rate. The second choice will be to find a full match from the bone marrow bank, but
there is a low chance of being able to achieve that.
Besides, there are a lot of people on the bone marrow bank’s waiting list, so we won’t be considering
that option for the time being. Instead, it will be our backup n. The third option will be a half match
from the patient’s parents. As the child has half of each parent’s genes, the parents will be a half
match, but the father’s marrow will be preferred for its higherpatibility rate.
Usually, male donors are preferred over female donors, the young over the old, and the children over
the parents. I hope you can understand that if you and her father are her only immediate family, we will
actually prefer the father as her donor.”
After listening to the doctor’s exnation, Selena realized all of a sudden how cruel of a joke the whole
ordeal was. She wished that she could be a matching donor for Juniper. “Let’s discuss it again when
we have the results.”
“Sure. We might have better options once the results are out.” With that, the doctor left.
On the other hand, Juniper was in better spirits while she looked at Selena. “Mom, I miss Mr.
Handsome.”
When Selena heard that, she caressed Juniper’s face while asking, “Why are you missing him all of a
sudden?”
“I just miss him. I never got to bid him goodbye when we left. Mom, did you have a fight with him?”
Juniper was a sensitive child, and her sensitivity was what pushed her to be so mature.
Heaving a sigh, Selena exined, “We have some bad blood between us, so I don’t think we will be
getting married. Juniper, I know you like him a lot and had been hoping for him to be your father.
Will you me me for this?” She stared at her daughter as if she wasn’t her daughter, but her best
friend.
“No, I won’t me you. Mommy, although I have been pushing you to get married, I still wish for your
happiness above all.”
Without warning, Selena’s tears fell. “Thank you, my darling. Thank you for your understanding. Having
you is the best thing that has ever happened to me.”
