Selena nodded at him. “Thank you, Jojo. Thanks for giving me the advice.”
“You’re welcome.”
“So are you ready to sleep now?”
Joaquin nodded and lay down obediently. Jameson and Juniper were breathing loudly and steadily beside him, both deep in their dreamland.
She bent over to give Joaquin a kiss on his forehead. “Jojo, I’m lucky to have you. I love you.”
His face instantly blushed from her confession, and he quickly shut his eyes.
She did not take that personally because she knew that Joaquin was different from Jameson and Juniper. He was not as expressive as the other two; he always looked shy and embarrassed.
She tucked him under the blanket and turned around. At that moment, she heard his tiny voice from behind. “I love you too, Mommy.”
When she turned around in pleasant surprise, he had closed his eyes, looking calmly asleep, as if his words just now were nothing but a vivid dream.
She smiled and picked up her phone to text Pierre. She wanted to know if he was done for the day, even though she had no idea what he was up to.
After giving it a second thought, she put away her phone. I’d better not disturb him.
At that time, Pierre happened to have returned to the hospital.
Juniper’s room was a suite, with the patient’s room located at the innermost area. Outside, there was a guest room leading to the entrance of the suite that was furnished with desks and some sofas.
Selena shut the door to the room and turned to him. “Have you had dinner? Do you want to order some takeout?”
Pierre appeared carefree and bright. “Didn’t you leave some food for me?”
“Huh?” She stared blankly at him.
