Joshua and Heather were so terrified that they hastily backed away from the guns that were suddenly pointed at them.They had no choice but to step back inside the house. The door was shut from the outside as soon as they entered.The ambiance in the house changed drastically. Joshua and Heather were shaking and their faces were ghastly pale.Joshua said shakily, “I… Isla… How… How dare you report me to the police… Tell me, was the money not used for Juno’s treatment? Even though the treatment didn’t work, you were the one who wanted to give it a try, right?”Isla and Juno ignored him.Adrian said, “Enter.”The door opened and an entourage trooped into the house. “Sir!”Adrian beckoned and said, “Freeze Joshua, Heather, and all the other family members’ bank accounts. Have the department investigate the flow of the money and report back to me.”“Yes, sir!” The entourage answered and immediately exited the house.In reality, Adrian had already reached out to the department befo

Rue and Samantha looked at each other. They were utterly confused over Adrian’s request.“What are you talking about, Adrian? Why are you asking Mother to foster a girl? Where did you suddenly come up with such an idea?” Samantha asked in puzzlement.Then, Adrian told them about Juno and her mother. Samantha was instantly saddened when she heard the sorrowful tale, and Rue, who was also a mother, felt agonized.How could a mother willingly leave her child? Had Samantha and Adaline not kept Rue company over the years when Adrian was not around, she would have lost her mind.“That’s the situation, Mother. Please give it some thought,” Adrian said to Rue when he was done with telling the story.Rue fell silent. After all, it was not a trivial matter to foster a child.“What’s your thought on this, Sam? Juno and her mother are rather pitiful. If Isla were to pass away, Juno would be left all alone without any family.“On the other hand, how far can a disabled girl go in life?”Rue

Finally, Juno’s fate was decided.She was to join Adrian’s family.Isla decided to let Rue adopt her daughter and went through with the procedures that afternoon, officially making Juno Rue’s daughter.Juno packed up her belongings and prepared to leave the home where she grew up, even accepting the hurt that came with parting with her mother. She remained silent throughout the entire time, demonstrating an extraordinarily powerful mental fortitude.Juno was fully focused on packing up her luggage. She put in all of her clothes, belongings, and even her books. After that, she placed it in the trunk of Samantha’s car.Samantha gave Adrian a call after all of it was done and an ambulance arrived in the yard shortly after. When the medical staff came out of the ambulance, Adrian was right behind them.He stood before Isla and said, “I’ve hired the best in Southrive. You’ll receive treatment at Swallowston for the time being. I’ll make sure they do their very best to try and heal you

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

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
