Chapter 268
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

She turned around and looked at Adrian before asking, “Are you asleep?”Adrian too turned around and replied, “No, I’m not. What’s the matter?”“I can’t sleep. What are you thinking about though?” Samantha asked.In truth, Adrian was not thinking about anything. However, he was obligated to answer her question, or a sensitive woman like herself would surely think that he had something to hide.Hence, he replied, “I was thinking about whether it’s time for us to buy a new house. This one’s pretty small so it’s really inconvenient.”“You and your dirty thoughts!” Samantha’s face glowed red as she shot him a glare.“How is that in any way dirty?” Adrian asked in surprise.“What do you think? That sounded so dirty and nasty!” Adrian shot her a smile, whose face had turned red once again. Although she claimed it to be dirty, she knew that their conversation was the start of a beautiful married life.Thus, she had no idea what she could say at that moment. She was out of topics to

Samantha managed to slip into dreamland thanks to Adrian consoling her.The next morning, a series of changes happened in Swallowston. Unlike before, there were people from the Battle Warrior Department patrolling the streets.These patrols were tightening Swallowston’s defenses, causing all the other citizens to be afraid that something major was about to happen.***That morning, Samantha left home after she was done with breakfast.Adrian was about to step out with her when Rue stopped him.“Can I have a word with you, Adrian?” Rue said.As Adrian stopped and looked at Rue in confusion, she grabbed his hands and said, “I saw a lot of people from the department on the streets when I was at the market this morning. Is it true that Southrive’s outer region is going to fight the Luposians?”In the past, Rue would never be bothered about such things, but things were different now. This meant that her son was not going to be able to lead a normal life anymore.Adrian could tell t

Adrian started to drive off, but Barry suddenly shouted, “My mother’s going to die soon! She’s suffering from severe psychotic breaks. Sometimes she’s lucid, but other times, she behaves like a lunatic. The doctor says she only has three years to live at most if this keeps up.“Her greatest wish is for me to don a military uniform and return home a glorious man to make her proud! I want to become a soldier while she’s still alive, but I come from an underprivileged family, so I’m ineligible to enter the recruitment process.“Please!” Barry shouted.At that moment, the car let off a screech as it came to a halt. Barry’s speech had struck a chord in the deepest parts of Adrian’s heart.‘I suppose that’s the only thing he can do for his mother at this point. Perhaps I should give him a chance.’“You have three seconds to get in,” Adrian said.Barry fiercely ran toward the car when he heard this and dove back in.“Does this mean you’re accepting me, Master?” Barry asked excitedly.
