Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 844

Juniper delivered the A-N0 plant strains to the suburban lab and instructed Harold to guard them carefully. She then contacted Ebony Fox, reminding her that her treatment would begin soon and forbidding her from wandering off.

Only when she called did she learn from Dana that Ebony Fox, upon hearing Celine was fine, had rushed back to the Subterra Vanguard main base to deal with some matters.

Ebony Fox answered her call and, before Juniper could say a word, quickly blurted out, “I’m back, I’m back! I’m at Cloudscape Community, don’t be mad.”

“You’re at Cloudscape Community?” Juniper’s anger subsided considerably, her voice softening. “Fine. Don’t you dare run off again.”

“Okay,” Ebony Fox mumbled.

After hanging up, she felt a lingering sense of fear. Her little sister wasn’t very old, but she had quite a temper. A fierce one, at that.

Ebony Fox slumped into a chair, her breathing labored and her face pale.

“Ebony, are you alright?” Dana asked with concern.

“I’m fine,” Ebony Fox shook her head, offering a weak smile. “I just didn’t sleep well. A nap should do the trick.”

“Alright, then.” Dana sighed in relief. “You get some rest. I’m going out to buy groceries,” she added lovingly, picking up her small basket.

“Okay.” Ebony Fox nodded, smiling as she saw Dana out.

Once the door closed, Ebony Fox quickly took her medicine, and the symptoms slowly faded. She stood up and walked to the bedroom window, leaning out to look down at the street below.

“So annoying. Why isn’t Juniper back yet?”

Meanwhile, Kurt Schwartz, after a nasty injury that had him laid up for two months, was finally able to stand and was desperate to get out of the house.

Juniper had given him a sports car, and there were many features he still hadn’t figured out. He’d been itching to go over and ask her for help. Hearing Juniper was coming back today, he had specially bought her favorite cake.

Kurt limped to the door, a cake box in hand, his leg still not fully healed. The door was slightly ajar. He pushed it open carefully and scanned the living room. No one was there.
