Chapter 581 An Eccentric

The hut was clean and meticulous, which was a pleasant sight to behold. When the group passed by the study, a rich scent of herbs drifted out. "My master is in there. You should go greet him." "Doctor Werner, I'm sorry to have imposed ourselves on you," Selena said politely.

"Hmph! What kind of parents bring their children on an outing during such a cold day? By the way, don't even think about using the kids to put pressure on me into administering any sort of treatment! Leave once the snow stops!" The gray-haired doctor who reprimanded them had his back to the entrance, so none of them could see his face. All they knew was that he had a powerful voice.

The old man smiled awkwardly. "This way please. My master has a bad temper, so please don't take his words to heart."

"I don't think he's just grumpy." Pierre snorted.

Upon hearing that, Selena glared at him. "I'm sorry, mister, and thank you for your assistance."

The old man was polite and kind as he showed them to a guest room. "We only have a single room here. I'm afraid it will be a tight squeeze considering you have three children, but please bear with it." "Sure. Thank you."

"However, my master no longer treats the sick, nor does he like the company of strangers. After the snow stops and the trail clears out a little, I'm afraid you'll have to leave." "Okay."

After offering them some hot water and snacks, the old man left. Although the hut was small, it was warm. The kids never got to spend time in a mountain before that, so they-especially Juniper and Jameson -were awfully excited as they admired the snow while leaning against the window.

After having some snacks, Selena got Juniper and Jameson to join Joaquin, who was already fast asleep after lying down in bed, to take a nap. Even Pierre and Selena fell asleep soon after, as they were also exhausted after two consecutive hikes.

A while later, Juniper opened her eyes to poke at Jameson. "Jamie, Jamie..."

Jameson was a little full, so he was already feeling groggy. Muttering to himself, he rolled over in bed.

Seeing that, Juniper asked, "Won't you play with me?"

"No..."

After being rejected, Juniper blinked as she lay awake in bed. However, she couldn't fall asleep at all. Upon noticing that the snow was still falling outside when she looked out of the window, she figured she should build a snowman so that she could show them to her parents when they woke up.

Therefore, she snuck out of the door after putting on her winter clothes. She built a tiny snowman, but it didn't have a nose, so she wanted to replace something that she could use as its nose. When she noticed ar open door, she entered it.

When Selena woke up, she noticed that Juniper was no longer in the room, which jolted her awake from her semi-conscious state. Then, she woke Pierre, who was sleeping beside her. "Wake up! Quick, you need to get up! Juniper is missing!" In order to not wake Jameson and Joaquin, she made sure to keep her voice low.

When Pierre opened his eyes, he noticed that Juniper was indeed not in the room. "She'd better not have wandered off anywhere," he muttered. Then, the two grown-ups put on their clothes before starting their search. The hut wasn't big, and the door was locked, so they figured she had to be somewhere in the hut.

"Juniper is young and curious. I hope she didn't do anything that will bring us trouble. We already annoyed Doctor Werner; we can't further aggravate the situation." Selena was feeling anxious. Although the hu wasn't huge, it wasn't that easy to replace a kid, as it had a lot of rooms.

"So what if we annoy that old geezer? He won't treat you anyway!" Pierre didn't care if he offended the owner of the hut.

"That's an entirely different matter! You can't just offend Doctor Werner because he didn't want to treat me. Anyway, where did Juniper go?" Selena was getting even more worried.

"Hmph. I'll blow up this mountain if anything happens to my daughter!"
