Chapter 465 Will We Die?

Selena left the place after she finished speaking. After getting into her car, she heaved a sigh of relief. Even though she had managed to defeat Helen, another battle awaited her.

Her new assistant, Alex Rouse, was a replacement for Linda. "President Yard, we don't have the will, so why did you say we have it?"

"If I didn't lie to them, they would try to look for the will at all costs. By then, the Fowler Family will be in chaos. At least they'll stay put and do their own work now. After the operation, I'll deal with them again."

Alex put on a smile. "President Yard, this is such a brilliant idea. Those people will definitely work hard during this period of time. Even if they can't inherit anything, they'll still think that you'll reward them handsomely because of their diligence."

Exhausted, Selena closed her eyes and said nothing. A moment later, she uttered, "To the hospital."

"President Yard, you haven't taken a rest for the past two days. Why don't you go home now?"

"No. Go to the hospital now."

Meanwhile, the doctors and nurses were getting ready for the operation. Juniper's operation would be on the next day, so Joaquin had to stay in the hospital for the preparation as well. The ward was quiet. Joaquin was reading a book on a chair while Juniper was gazing out the window on a bed.

All of a sudden, she called out, "Jojo."

Joaquin shifted his attention to her. "Yeah?"

"Is it painful to undergo an operation?"

Joaquin put down his book and walked up to her. "The doctor will give you some anesthesia so that you won't feel any pain. The operation will be over when you wake up. However, when the anesthesia wears off, you might feel a little painful, but it should be tolerable, and you'll get better soon." He explained to her in his own way.

"Will it be painful for you, then?" Juniper gazed at him with her innocent eyes.

After a moment of hesitation, Joaquin replied, "No."

"I'm relieved, then." Juniper smiled and extended her hand.

Staring at her hand, Joaquin gave it a thought and took it. It was then he realized that her hand was cold. She was a cheerful girl, so she remained positive even in the face of her illness and operation. However, she was a young kid, so she would feel frightened after all. Not knowing how to console her, Joaquin could only keep holding her hand.

"Jojo, will we die?" Juniper asked.

Joaquin didn't know how to respond to her, for he wasn't used to lying. "We may or may not die."

Juniper knew this was the answer he would give. "At least one of us should survive, alright?" Joaquin didn't understand her.

"If only Jamie was left, he would give our daddy and mommy a headache. After all, he knows nothing, and he isn't as obedient as we are," Juniper continued with a smile. Her hair was shaved off before the operation.

Joaquin remembered that Juniper was sobbing under her quilt on that day. When her hair was being shaved, the nurse kept complimenting her that she was a good girl. However, right after the nurse stepped out of the room, she hid under her quilt and started wailing. At that time, he could do nothing but leave the room and close the door for her.

In fact, Juniper's smile appeared to be sweeter when she was without her hair. Her round head and her small teeth were a funny combination, but Joaquin wasn't in the mood to laugh.

"Jojo, if I die and you survive, please go to Emerald Island and feed the seagulls for me. Also, help me to pick up some seashells and crabs."
