Suspicious Assistant

Selena burst into tears as soon as she heard what Juniper said. I'm so undeserving of this thoughtful and obedient child.

"Mommy, don't cry." Juniper struggled to prop herself up before handing Selena some tissues to wipe her tears. Selena took them before holding Juniper in her arms while sitting by the bed.

"Mommy, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I should've taken good care of myself instead of making you worry."

"No, Juniper, it's my fault. I shouldn't have left you with Miss Linda. We'll never be apart ever again, okay?"

Juniper nodded her head eagerly. "Yeah. You can always bring me around with you after I get older. I promise to never cause trouble, tee-hee."

Hearing that, Selena stuck her face to Juniper's while feeling sorry for her.

"Mommy, do you think my injuries will leave scars? Will I look ugly?"

"No, they won't. They're only light scratches, so they'll recover soon. You have nothing to worry about."
