Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 584

Andy sat cross-legged on the floor, with a tea set arranged neatly on the table in front of him. Selena gave him a respectful bow the moment she entered. “I’m so sorry for all the trouble we’ve caused in the past two days, Doctor Werner. We’ll get ready to leave once the roads clear up a little.”

The doctor looked up at her for a moment before he gave her a dismissive wave. “You can stop with that pretentious act. Do you think I don’t know what’s going on in your mind?”

Blood rushed to Selena’s face as she responded with an awkward laugh. This old man doesn’t filter his words at all, huh. “Well, is there a reason you’ve asked for me, Doctor Werner?” she asked.

He pointed at a tatami cushion, indicating for her to take a seat opposite him. “What sort of disease are you looking to cure?” he asked.

“I would like to get pregnant again,” she replied.

Her words were met with a rather haughty scoff. “Those three kids are your children, aren’t they?”

“Yeah. All three of them. They’re triplets.” Selena didn’t seem to mind his response—she had accepted the fact that no one else would be able to comprehend her desire to have another child.

“You want to have another child after giving birth to three of them? Have you forgotten how torturous it was to have a child?” he asked. Selena didn’t say anything—she simply listened to him talk as she didn’t wish to explain herself any further. He finally stopped for a moment before he lifted his chin. “Give me your hands,” he ordered.

She held her hands out, and Andy felt for a pulse on her right hand before shifting over to the left. He then stroked his beard thoughtfully. Selena kept quiet and waited for him to say something.

Andy eventually nodded his head. “You don’t have any diseases, but it will be hard for you to get pregnant again. I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to get another child.” Selena felt her heart sinking upon hearing his words. She hadn’t expected a traditional Chinese doctor to tell her the same things that the other doctors did. “It’s hard, but it’s not impossible,” Andy continued.

“Can you help me, Doctor Werner?” she asked.

“I can try,” he uttered as he continued to smoothen his beard with his fingers. “But I have one condition.”

“What is it?” Selena had always assumed that god-like individuals like Andy weren’t interested in their own benefits, so she was surprised to hear that he actually had a condition.

“I want your daughter to become my apprentice,” he said.

She was too stunned to say anything as she hadn’t expected him to request Juniper as his apprentice. “Well…” She wasn’t entirely against the idea of it, but she thought that Juniper was simply too young. Traditional Chinese medicine was a challenging subject to master, and Selena didn’t want Juniper to suffer in any way. Ever since she found out about Juniper’s illness, all she hoped for her daughter was a healthy and happy childhood. Selena had never thought about Juniper’s education or her career and specialization. In fact, Selena didn’t mind even if Juniper never got a job at all—Pierre and Selena could take care of Juniper for the rest of their lives. She simply wanted Juniper to live a worry-free life.

“What? Are you not okay with it?” Andy knitted his brows and glared at Selena. “Do you know how many people out there wish that I was their master? I’ve chased all of them away! You should be honored that I’m asking for your daughter personally. How dare you reject me!” He was clearly frustrated.

“No, no. That’s not what I meant. To be honest, I’m not the only one who needs help from a doctor. I’m also here because of my children. My daughter, Juniper, had previously been diagnosed with leukemia. She had a bone marrow transplant, and my son was her donor. Although they are all fine now, I still think that they seem rather weak. I was hoping that you would be able to help improve their health.” She lowered her gaze as she continued, “Juniper is a really thoughtful and mature kid. She didn’t complain—not even once—when she received her treatment at the hospital, and she even tried to comfort me during then. She had suffered a great deal during both her hospitalizations. I understand that she should feel honored to have been chosen by you as her apprentice. Our whole family feels honored.”
