Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 426

However, the news of her being unable to conceive still came as a huge blow to her. What’s going to become of Juniper, then?

Once she got home, Pierre could tell that she was bothered by something just by the look on her face. But she had to conceal her emotions in front of her children, so Pierre didn’t get a chance to talk to her about it then. That was the thing about having children around—they always had to control themselves and contain their emotions. Pierre finally brought the question up once the children were asleep. “Did you get your body checkup report?” he asked when they got into their room.

“It’s out.” Selena gave him a faint smile. “Everything’s fine. Today was a tiring day; let’s go to bed.”

He grabbed onto her hand as he could tell that she was hiding something from him. “Spit it out. If you really want to hide something from me, you should work on your acting skills to make sure that I don’t realize anything at all. The moment I realize something, I’m not going to let you go so easily anymore!” He gave her a light smack on her bottom as he spoke.

“I’m really fine. I’ve just been too busy recently.” She didn’t want to tell him about the news.

If she couldn’t conceive a child, then someone else would have to be Juniper’s donor. Joaquin and Jameson were way too young—Selena and Pierre would never allow children their age to undergo such a procedure. If Selena couldn’t do it, then Pierre was their only option. However, due to Pierre’s identity, he would have to give up on everything he had now if he wanted to become Juniper’s donor. His job required him to be in his peak physical condition at all times, and that would no longer be possible after he completed the procedure. Selena didn’t want to make things hard for him.

Right then, Pierre pressed his palms against Selena’s cheeks. “Didn’t we agree that we would deal with everything together? Tell me what’s bothering you.”

She knew that she wouldn’t be able to hide the truth forever. “The doctor said that I… might not be able to conceive a child again.”

“We can just not have children anymore. We already have three, anyway!” The grin on Pierre’s face stiffened right after he finished his sentence—he realized what had been troubling Selena then. The couple looked at one another before Selena slowly lowered her gaze. They both knew what was going on in each other’s minds, and they both understood what it meant.

After a moment of silence, Pierre rubbed his thumb against Selena’s cheek. “It’s fine. I’m sure we’ll find a way.”

Selena knew that they didn’t have any other choice—their limited options were all spread out in front of their eyes. But she simply looked away and agreed to his statement then. “Yeah. I’m sure we’ll find a way.”

“Did the doctor explain why you can’t have a child anymore?” he asked.

“Yeah. The doctor said that it was due to my poor recovery after giving birth to the triplets. But he didn’t make the situation sound that bleak—he gave me a contact number for a traditional Chinese doctor and said that I might be able to give birth with the help of some traditional treatments.” A grin finally formed on Selena’s face. “Since you’re so good in bed, perhaps you might be able to compensate for the things that I lack in my body, right?”

Pierre giggled in amusement, but they both understood that it was a mere joke to make themselves feel better. He also knew that the issue was severe—a patient’s case was usually hopeless if their Western doctor told them to try out a traditional Chinese doctor’s treatments. Doctors generally try their best to sound hopeful for their patients so that their patients wouldn’t feel too disheartened. Everyone’s kept alive because of that sliver of hope that we all hold in our hearts, anyway. But I guess we shouldn’t be too optimistic about Selena being able to conceive a child again. “I’m sorry.” Pierre pulled her into his arms. “It’s all my fault. You wouldn’t have had to suffer so much if I had managed to find you earlier.” It’s all because of me. She got pregnant; she gave birth to triplets; she got chased out of the house and sent to work under Hades all because of me. I’m the reason she’s in this state right now.
