Chapter 284
Chapter 284 Have You Ever Thought of Leaving?
Juniper even lifted her clothes to check on her own belly button. “Wow, Mom! Let’s choose to give birth
to a baby! Not only will it cure me, but I will also finally get a sibling!”
While observing her innocent smile, Selena couldn’t help but give her a pinch on the face. “Then, do
you want a brother or a sister?”
“A sister! I want a sister! We can wear pretty dresses together if I have a younger sister! I can also y
pretend with her! But I think a brother will be fine too. I will love whoever you give birth to!” The more
she spoke, the more excited she got, as evident from the glint of yearning in her eyes.
“Mom, since I used to live in your stomach, I think that having a sibling is such a fateful encounter since
he or she will also be living in the same ce where I used to live in.”
“Indeed.” That was especially the case with siblings, as they grew up in the same womb one after the
other. “We’ll talk about having a babyter on. For now, I will have to go find your biological father.”
“Okay! You can go without worries! I will be a good girl!”
When Selena heard that, she nodded, feeling grateful that she had Juniper as her daughter. After that,
she didn’t dwell any further on the subject of Juniper’s biological father, as she knew for sure that
Megan couldn’t possibly have paired her up with anybody remotely decent. Hence, she wouldn’t hold
high hopes for him, but neither did she wish for Juniper to have any hopes for him, as they were bound
to be disappointed.
Therefore, all Selena hoped for was that he was healthy enough to function as a donor; his current
appearance, character and upation wouldn’t matter to them.
Soon, she got in touch with Melissa to discuss the matter, but thetter didn’t think it was a wise
decision. “Selena, Hades took the test out of his own volition, so you have nothing to worry about. He
wouldn’t have taken the test if he wasn’t willing to be a donor.”
There was a moment’s pause before Selena asked, “Melissa, have you ever thought of leaving?”
“Leaving?” Melissa wasn’t quite sure what she meant.
“Yeah. Leave here so you can get away from such a risky lifestyle that requires you to go on missions
that put your life on the line. You can live a normal life by getting married with Joshua and having kids
together.” There was a serious look on Selena’s face when she stared at Melissa.
However, Melissa merely let out an awkward chuckle. “I don’t think my current life is bad, considering
I’ve already died once. I no longer fear death. I was brought to the organization when I was ten to be
groomed into who I am today. I’ve been living like this ever since then. Yes, it’s a blessing that I get to
meet Joshua, but I never thought of giving birth to children, as they’re a hassle to deal with.”
“That’s why you’ll never understand a mother’s feelings, especially when I managed to push through
my life because of Juniper. I do not wish a life of tribtion upon her. I don’t care if I am put through all
of it, but she shouldn’t be as she’s far too young.
She should live like a normal child, and I can only give her a normal life if I also live as a normal
woman, as a mother.” Heaving a sigh, Selena went on to say, “I have no other choice. I no longer wish
to be associated with Hades, so I will not reach out to him unless the situation dictates that I absolutely
should.”
When Melissa heard that, she smiled faintly. “I do not im to understand your circumstances as a
mother, but I will support your decision. Hang in there, Selena. You’ll find that man.”All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Selena nodded resolutely. For now, she would put all thoughts of conceiving another baby aside, as
she couldn’t possibly do it alone. After leaving Juniper in Melissa’s care, she returned to Astoria alone.
It was a risky move in itself, as she would be at a disadvantage if John ever found out that she did so.
Thus, she returned to Astoria discreetly.
