“I’m bored, Mommy.” Juniper was still young after all, so she didn’t have much patience. Public hospitals were crowded, so many even had to wait for the entire day just to see the doctor.
“It’s just a little longer, for my turn is coming soon.” Selena glanced at the number in her hand before shifting her gaze to the screen above her head. It’s just a few people more.
“I’m thirsty, Mommy. Can I go and buy a drink?” The vending machine was just a few steps away from them.
“Alright, we’ll go together.”
With some money in her hand, Juniper happily skipped to the vending machine that sold beverages and snacks. Plastering herself to the display window, she darted her eyes left and right.
At this precise moment, Selena’s cell phone rang. It’s a call from Linda, so this must be a business matter. However, there were too many people here, so it wasn’t conducive for a phone call. Coincidentally, the stairwell was just at the side, so she told her daughter, “Juniper, come and find me at the stairwell later. I’m going to take a call. Hurry up, okay?”
“Okay, Mommy!”
Selena kept an eye on Juniper as she walked into the stairwell. There was a window on the door of the stairwell, so she kept Juniper in sight through the window while answering her call.
Meanwhile, Meredith was wearing a mask and sunglasses, whereas Megan didn’t put on any disguise. The two of them walked over, chatting and laughing. “Look! Isn’t that Selena’s daughter?” As Megan said this, she was all geared up to rush over. “What bad luck! Selena must be somewhere nearby!”
“Megan, let’s not mess with her. She’s now with Pierre, after all.”
“Are you afraid of her? How could you be afraid of her, Merry? She stole your man, so she’s a seductress, a third party who’s scorned by everyone! I’ll teach her a lesson today!” As Megan spoke, she stalked toward Juniper menacingly.
