The Return of the War Legate Chapter 262
Joshua and Heather were so terrified that they hastily backed away from the guns that were suddenly pointed at them.They had no choice but to step back inside the house. The door was shut from the outside as soon as they entered.The ambiance in the house changed drastically. Joshua and Heather were shaking and their faces were ghastly pale.Joshua said shakily, “I… Isla… How… How dare you report me to the police… Tell me, was the money not used for Juno’s treatment? Even though the treatment didn’t work, you were the one who wanted to give it a try, right?”Isla and Juno ignored him.Adrian said, “Enter.”The door opened and an entourage trooped into the house. “Sir!”Adrian beckoned and said, “Freeze Joshua, Heather, and all the other family members’ bank accounts. Have the department investigate the flow of the money and report back to me.”“Yes, sir!” The entourage answered and immediately exited the house.In reality, Adrian had already reached out to the department befo

Joshua broke down, as did Heather.Both of them bowed down and cried profusely. “We’re sorry! We were wrong. Please spare us. We’re begging you. We were wrong!”At this very moment, Joshua and Heather did not have the courage to behave arrogantly anymore. Both of them were almost driven to madness. If they had known that this would happen, they would not have had the courage to take the money no matter how bold they were.“Sir, please spare me. I’m begging. I’ve learned from my mistake.” Joshua bowed frantically.Heather was bawling.“Sir, please don’t kill me. I don’t want to die. Please set me free. I have a pretty face and I’ll sleep with you. You can do anything to me. Just don’t kill me. I’m begging you!”“It was all Joshua’s doing. I had nothing to do with it,” Heather said as she cried and pointed at her husband.There was a saying that a married couple would behave selfishly in the face of trouble, and this saying was reflected at this very moment.Heather and Joshua we

Rue and Samantha looked at each other. They were utterly confused over Adrian’s request.“What are you talking about, Adrian? Why are you asking Mother to foster a girl? Where did you suddenly come up with such an idea?” Samantha asked in puzzlement.Then, Adrian told them about Juno and her mother. Samantha was instantly saddened when she heard the sorrowful tale, and Rue, who was also a mother, felt agonized.How could a mother willingly leave her child? Had Samantha and Adaline not kept Rue company over the years when Adrian was not around, she would have lost her mind.“That’s the situation, Mother. Please give it some thought,” Adrian said to Rue when he was done with telling the story.Rue fell silent. After all, it was not a trivial matter to foster a child.“What’s your thought on this, Sam? Juno and her mother are rather pitiful. If Isla were to pass away, Juno would be left all alone without any family.“On the other hand, how far can a disabled girl go in life?”Rue

He turned around and said to Isla, “This is my mother. You can tell her everything that you want her to know about Juno. If you have no objections, I’ll be taking Juno today and I’ll send you to the hospital for treatment. You have to try to get better.”Adrian left after he was done speaking while Samantha and Rue stayed.Isla said to Rue, “Please take a seat, both of you. I’ll get you some water.”“Dear, we’re not thirsty. Take a seat and we’ll talk.” Rue stopped Isla.Isla nodded and took a seat opposite Rue. She then asked, “Dear, are you Adrian’s mother?”Rue said, “Yes. My name is Rue Blanchet, and just like you, my husband has passed away. However, I’ve been more fortunate in life.“Adrian told me about your family’s situation. I myself have a son and a daughter. My daughter is nineteen years old and she’s attending university now.”“That’s nice. My daughter is almost eighteen too,” Isla said.Rue smiled. Then, she remembered something and added, “Oh right, I forgot to i

Finally, Juno’s fate was decided.She was to join Adrian’s family.Isla decided to let Rue adopt her daughter and went through with the procedures that afternoon, officially making Juno Rue’s daughter.Juno packed up her belongings and prepared to leave the home where she grew up, even accepting the hurt that came with parting with her mother. She remained silent throughout the entire time, demonstrating an extraordinarily powerful mental fortitude.Juno was fully focused on packing up her luggage. She put in all of her clothes, belongings, and even her books. After that, she placed it in the trunk of Samantha’s car.Samantha gave Adrian a call after all of it was done and an ambulance arrived in the yard shortly after. When the medical staff came out of the ambulance, Adrian was right behind them.He stood before Isla and said, “I’ve hired the best in Southrive. You’ll receive treatment at Swallowston for the time being. I’ll make sure they do their very best to try and heal you

Adaline, who had always been a very kind girl, took good care of Juno.She packed up a lot of her belongings in her room so that there would be space for Juno to put hers.Rue prepared a scrumptious meal for them that night, which was probably the best meal Juno had ever eaten in her life.At dinner, she could feel the warmth from her new family as they heaped food onto her plate. She was trying her best to accept her new family, hoping that she would get used to it one day.***Juno had lived with Samantha for a few days now. However, she hadn’t seen Adrian much since he was not around much.Adrian would always be already out when she woke up in the morning and would have already fallen asleep by the time he returned at night.Juno had not missed out a single lesson, while Samantha would always drive her to school in the morning. After she was done with classes, Juno would head off to Swallowston Hospital to visit Isla, spending most of her free time taking care of her biologic

Hearing this, Juno pursed her lips as she said, “It was raining heavily after school that day and I wanted to stay dry so that my bag wouldn’t get wet. I ended up being run over by a car while trying to look for shelter.“I wasn’t able to move my legs when I came to.” Juno retold the story, while Shawn nodded his head.At that moment, Rue walked in and asked, “Can my daughter walk again, Professor Shawn?”Juno was eager to hear his reply too, hoping that she would be able to return to living as an ordinary woman.Shawn pondered for a while before he said, “I’ll only be able to answer that question after I’ve diagnosed you properly. Do you have your medical records? May I see them please?”“Yes, of course! My mother would take me for checkups every month.“They’re in the drawer in my room, Sam,” Juno said to Samantha.“Okay, I’ll go fetch them.”Samantha soon returned with a bundle of medical reports, including blood tests, X-rays, and so forth.Shawn and Danton studied them fo

Shawn said, “Your thought process may be normal, but that doesn’t mean your brain functions are. Simply put, your brain functions are the key to you controlling your body.“Abnormalities in brain functions aren’t severe and wouldn’t cause any damage to your brain. However, there will usually be some flaw in one’s limbs whenever this happens.“Take a look at your x-ray scan. You’ve got a shadow over here, which I suspect is a blood clot. This thing is causing your brain function to be flawed. It’s also the reason why your muscle growth is extraordinarily high to the point where your nerves are being compressed and numbed.”Everyone approached to look at the scan, while Juno felt that Shawn’s diagnosis was unprecedented.‘I’ve seen many doctors, but none of them have ever said that there’s something wrong with my brain.’“Professor Shawn, no hospital has ever been able to tell that there’s something wrong with my head despite my numerous visits,” Juno said.“There’s only a partial
