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
However, it would seem that fate just loved playing tricks.Over the next few days, Juno visited Isla while receiving treatment from Shawn.But no matter how Samantha and the others led by Kendall pushed to create the cure for cancer, they were not able to achieve a breakthrough in such a short time.Alas, Isla passed away in Swallowston Hospital five days later.“Where are you going, Juno?”Juno ignored her teacher’s question and left the school in tears when she received news of her mother’s passing. By the time she arrived at the hospital, her mother’s body had already been sent to the mortuary.Samantha, Adrian, and Rue had hurried to the hospital the moment they found out that Isla had passed away.Juno was in her wheelchair, crying her eyes out outside the mortuary. Samantha held Juno, trying her best to calm the girl, but it was all for naught.That afternoon, Isla’s body was sent to the funeral parlor. Juno chased after the hearse that delivered her there for a very lon
Samantha shook her head.“He told me he’s got a few army buddies coming to Swallowston and would be out for gatherings, so I haven’t paid it much attention.”Samantha’s expectations of Adrian had dropped significantly as of later. When he first returned, she had been so strict with him that she controlled his every move, but after being together for such a long time, the couple had slowly grown a lot closer.Rue acknowledged this and said, “Let’s not wait for him if that’s the case. Hurry up and come eat your food, Juno. Have you finished your homework?”“Yes, I’ve finished them all.”“Good. You’ll be sitting for your university entrance exams soon, so you must focus on your studies. When you get into a good university, you’ll be able to become as capable as Sam.”Rue was very fond of Samantha. Not only was Samantha beautiful, but she was also righteous, kind, and strong enough to lead an entire company.Juno nodded, while Samantha brought out an exquisite-looking package and sa
Samantha was suddenly hit by a wave of memories when Rue mentioned this.Violet’s birthday was coming up in two days, which means the Cowells were probably going to prepare a party for her. When that time comes, Samantha’s aunts would probably be there too.At a loss, Samantha said, “I’m not sure if I should go since Grandmother despises me.”Nathan, Hugo, Francis, and Clara were going to be there, so Samantha’s presence would only serve as a laughingstock for them. However, it would not be logical for her to be absent either.“She’s still your elder at the end of the day, so why don’t you buy a gift and get Adrian to go with you?” Rue had always been one to respect her elders, thus she expressed this view to Samantha.“I’ll ask Adrian tonight and see what he thinks.”“Okay.”***At eleven that night, Samantha had already showered and was lying in bed as she read a book when Adrian got home.“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Adrian asked when he entered the room.Adrian had his ha
