Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 139

When they got to the hospital, Juniper was already in the general ward. Linda cried so hard that her eyes were all swollen. Due to the fact that she was a crybaby, she began wailing as soon as she saw Selena. “Miss Yard! You’re finally back! I was so scared!” Still unnerved by the experience, she threw herself into Selena’s arms.

Seeing that Juniper was asleep, Selena took her away from the ward. “How’s Juniper’s condition?”

“The doctor said she’s alright as her bones are still relatively soft compared to adults. However, she does have several bruises on her legs, and she was shocked by the incident.”

Heaving a sigh, Selena exclaimed, “All is well as long as she’s alright.”

“How did the accident happen?” Pierre threw her a question while wearing a frown, seemingly in deep thought.

“I went to fetch her at the kindergarten when her lessons were finished, but the car broke down while we were on our way back. Juniper waited by the road after getting out of the car while I called for help. It was then a car came crashing our way.” Lowering her head with guilt, she apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss Yard. I thought we would be able to settle the issue very quickly, so I didn’t set up a roadblock, nor did I put on the hazard lights. It all happened because of my negligence. I should’ve been constantly watching over Juniper.”

Pierre said nothing in response as if in deep thought, as the accident seemed too weird. Although Linda didn’t set up a roadblock, nor did she put on the hazard lights, the driver still shouldn’t have crashed into them upon noticing her car unless the driver was blind. Besides, Juniper was a steadfast girl despite her age, and coupled by the fact that Selena taught her well, she would never run around while by a road.

On the other hand, Selena caressed Linda’s head before comforting her, “It’s alright. This isn’t your fault, as what’s bound to come will find us anyway. It’s enough that Juniper is alright. You must be tired after spending the past few days taking care of her, so go back and get some rest. I’ll take over things here.”

Although Linda was determined to stay out of guilt, she eventually returned home upon Selena’s insistence. After pulling the blanket over Juniper, Selena checked on Pierre. “You should also leave. At least inform your family that you’re safe after such a major incident.”

“Okay. Give me a call if you need anything.” Without dallying, he left the hospital, as there were a lot of things that he needed to take care of. As soon as he got into the car, he gave Niall a call, instructing the latter to retrieve footage of the site of the accident. It would help to clarify everything that happened.

Later on, he returned to Fowler Residence, which came as a surprise to John. Seeing Pierre limping through the doorway, John cleared his throat. Then, Helen quickly asked, “Pierre, I heard you were injured. How’s your condition?” Knowing that John was too proud to ask despite his eagerness to know about Pierre’s injury, she took it upon herself to inquire about her son.

“I got shot, but it wasn’t anything major.” Pierre glossed over the condition of his injury.

“What took you so long then if you’re alright? Don’t you know that we worry about you?” John chided him, during which he maintained his silence. To him, John had always been like that. Worry? I’m pretty sure he’s only worried that no one will be available to take over the company if I die.

Helen shook her head at John before saying, “Pierre, Meredith is at home. She’s been worried about you, so you should at least inform her that you’re alright after all that happened. Go upstairs and get some rest.”
