Meanwhile, Juniper was sitting in a room while fiddling with the herbs on the table.
“What do you think you’re doing?” someone chided.
The herb that she was holding fell from her hand as she whipped her head to look at the gray-haired old man. “I wasn’t doing anything.”
On the other hand, both Pierre and Selena were shocked when they heard the scolding. Both of them hurried toward where the noise came from, only to see Juniper sitting in the room. While glancing at the doctor, Selena apologized immediately. “I’m sorry! The kids were taking a nap, but she wandered off without us knowing. I’m so sorry!”
On the contrary, Pierre didn’t feel sorry at all, as his daughter was far more important than the old geezer was to him. Just when Selena quickly swiped in to carry Juniper in her arms, the doctor, Andy Werner, walked up to the table while caressing his gray beard. Before they could leave the room, Andy ordered, “Halt!”
“Be more forgiving, you old geezer! She’s just a kid, so she doesn’t know much! What was it that she broke? I’ll pay you back!” Pierre was glaring at Andy with discontent.
Selena immediately signaled Pierre with a look. “I’m sorry, Doctor Werner. My daughter didn’t do it on purpose. Although I don’t know what she broke, we will compensate for your loss.”
No matter what she said, Andy merely stared at the herbs in silence. His peculiar reaction caused the adults to exchange a glance, as neither had any idea what he had in mind. “Kiddo, come over here.” With a wave of his hand, he called for Juniper, ignoring the two adults like they were thin air.
After glancing at Pierre, Selena eventually let go of Juniper. “Come on, go and apologize to Doctor Werner.”
As she was told, Juniper went up to Andy to apologize to him. “I’m sorry for touching your things without your permission, Doctor Werner.”
