Chapter 142
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 flash!”
“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 of competitors who applied for the position as her assistant the same time as Linda did. When put in comparison 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 until later 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 similar 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 revelation.
“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?”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Yeah! Miss Linda, where did you learn that? I want to learn too!” Juniper cried in excitement.
