Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO
Chapter 579

Chapter 579 Sliver of Hope

The boss lady had a conflicted look on her face. "Young lady, who is seeking treatment? Is it an elderly person? Doctor Werner dislikes treating elderly people. He considers them to have lived long enough, so he doesn't want to waste time on them."

In a hurry, Selena explained her own condition to the boss lady. The boss lady chuckled. "For your case, he would be even less inclined to treat you. A few years back, sterile couples would visit him, and most of them ended up succeeding in conceiving.

However, he no longer takes on such cases during recent years. Besides, why do you still want to conceive when you already have three children? To him, this is even more of a waste of time."

Selena was a little disappointed after listening to that, as she really wanted another child. "Young lady, just listen to my advice. You already have three children, and have suffered enough throughout your pregnancy, so forget about it." The boss lady gave her a pat on the hand.

Selena hung her head low. While others might not be able to understand her wish to conceive again, she just felt like doing so. She wanted to replace her memories of her first pregnancy, as well as give birth to a child who was born out of love and whose birth was looked forward to.

She wanted Pierre and the kids to experience the creation of life, as well as the process of a baby growing up within her. She just really wanted to give birth to another baby.

Upon noticing that Selena seemed disheartened while hanging her head low, the boss lady heaved a sigh. "I guess you just like children that much. Women sure are the same in the sense that they never learn their lessons.

When they are pregnant with the first child, most of them would think that they won't go through the process again even if it would cost them their lives. However, they would happily go through that same process again in a few years."

Selena was amused by the boss lady's remarks.

"You can give it a try if you're not willing to give up. Starting from the house tomorrow, go around the mountain until you reach the south-eastern part of it. From there, you should be able to replace Doctor Werner's house after climbing up halfway."

"Thank you, madam."

The boss lady merely shook her head. "You don't need to thank me since I haven't done anything. Moreover, I have to remind you not to hold out too much hope, as it is very unlikely that he will treat you."

By that point, Selena had lost hope of seeking treatment for herself. Nonetheless, she asked, "Madam, will the doctor treat children? To be honest, I'm not only seeking treatment for myself. My daughter had leukemia, and she once had a bone marrow transplant. Therefore, I wish to replace her some medicine that would help nurse her health. After all, she's still young, so I hope that she will no longer be plagued by any disease."

The boss lady's eyes lit up. "Children have better chances of getting treatment from him, as he likes kids. The patients he took on recently have all been children. If you're seeking treatment for your children, you should bring them along. With your children around you, Doctor Werner might very well look into your condition too."

Selena regained a sliver of hope after hearing that. Even if the doctor refused to treat her, it would be worthwhile if he would help nurse Juniper and Jameson back to health. Therefore, Pierre and Selena went back home the next day, as they planned to bring the children along during the next trip.

As soon as the children heard they would go hiking, they were elated. Throughout their journey, they had been singing and laughing while in the car. Had Selena known they would feel that excited over a hike, she would've brought them along sooner. Due to the fact that they had kids with them, they couldn't travel fast. Thus, they spent a night at the boss lady's place before going into the mountains the next day.

The weather wasn't all that great the next day. With the cold weather, it wasn't the best day for a hike, but the kids insisted on going. Due to their insistence, Selena could only relent. With that, they began their way up into the mountains.

The trail that the boss lady showed them was a well-traveled path. The locals did some repairs to the path because of the frequent tourist visits, so it was much easier to walk on compared to the one which they took a few days ago.
