Chapter 266


    Everything was prepared, and they were only waiting for Selena, who still hadn’t shown up.


    “What do you think, boss?” Ken pointed at the decorations.


    Hades merely grunted in response.


    “Boss, this might be an S-ss mission, but the main guy here is you. Nobody can propose in your


    ce, so you have to do it yourself,” Barbie piped up.


    Hades snorted once more. “Naturally.”


    “So what’s your goosebump-inducing, eighties-ro-esque proposal speech have youe up


    with?” Barbie gave him a curious look.


    When he heard that, Hades nced at her from the corner of his eye. “Stay out of it.”


    “Aw, tell us. We can modify it a bit. Make it more romantic.”


    Unexpectedly, Joshua raised his hand slowly. “I wrote it for him.”


    “What?!” Everyone gasped. He even asks someone else to write a proposal speech for him? If


    Selena finds out about it, she wouldn’t say yes even if she wants to.


    “Why isn’t she back yet?” Hades was getting impatient.


    “Why don’t I call her?” Melissa took her phone out. A momentter, she eximed, “What?! Car


    crash?!”


    Meanwhile, Selena was still in the hospital. Thanks to the timely blood transfusion, Juniper had


    gotten out of the woods, and was transferred to a normal ward.


    The little girl was in aa, bandages wrapped around her head and the many injuries on her


    body. The doctor said Juniper’s leg was fractured, but they had handled it during the surgery.


    Selena sat by the bed, her heart broken into a million pieces. Why does Juniper have to go through


    so much suffering? It’s all my fault. I didn’t do enough for her.


    At that thought, tears streamed down Selena’s cheek. There were times when she just wanted to


    stop, do nothing, and take care of Juniper properly.


    However, she was only human; she only had two arms, two legs, one heart, and a brain, so she


    could only do one thing at a time. If she did more than one thing at once, everything would go


    wrong. Selena just wanted to stop, but she couldn’t.


    Then, she patted Juniper’s head. As the girl had just gotten out of a terrible circumstance, she was


    constantly monitored by machines, and they kept beeping.


    When she was about to get some water to wipe the blood off Juniper, the sudden sound of rm


    from the machines made her jump.


    After Selena saw what was on the screen, she bolted to the nurse, who called the doctor after


    taking a look at Juniper. Then, Selena was pushed out of the room. “Sorry, but you need to leave.


    We have to apply some emergency measures.”


    “What’s happening to her? I thought she’s out of the woods?” Despite Selena’s protests, she was


    still pushed out of the room, so she stood outside, alone and at a loss, her heart sinking once again


    to the depths of despair.


    A short whileter, the doctor and nurses pushed Juniper out, and Selena stopped them. “Where


    are you taking her?”


    “It’s an emergency. We have to send her to the ICU,” the nurse answered curtly. “Please move


    away. If we get there even one momentter, it might mean the child’s death.”


    Fearing for Juniper’s safety, Selena immediately moved out of the way, though she followed the


    medical staff to the ICU where Juniper was sent to, but she couldn’t go in. ICUs didn’t allow


    anyone’s entrance, not even if it was the patient’s family.


    Hence, Selena was barred from taking one more step ahead. “What is going on, doctor? I thought


    she’s already out of the critical state.” Selena was extremely distressed.


    The doctor shook his head. “We aren’t very sure. The patient’s condition is unstable, and we need


    to save her quickly.” Then, the doctor left in a hurry, apparently not having any time to talk. Hence,


    Selena was left alone, staring dumbly at the ICU.N?velDrama.Org content rights.
