Chapter 356


    Once they saw that Selena had returned, both Melissa and Joshua thoughtfully left the ward even


    before they were told to do so. They wanted to allow Selena to spend more time with her daughter.


    That night, Selena slept in the ward itself with her arms tightly wrapped around Juniper. “The doctor


    told me that I can give birth to another child and that we can use the blood from my umbilical cord to


    treat your illness, Juniper,” Selena whispered.


    “Are you nning to have another baby with Mr. Handsome, Mommy?” Juniper paid no attention to


    the second half of Selena’s sentence.


    Selena gently caressed the young girl’s hair. “Do you think that would be a good idea?”

    “Of course! That way, I can be someone’s elder sister!” Juniper’s eyes lit up for a moment. “But I


    don’t want to take the blood from the baby’s umbilical cord.”


    “Why not?” Selena asked.


    Juniper’s eyes twinkled as brightly as the constetions in the night sky. “I want the baby to be born


    into a world where we all love her, not a world where I need her, Mommy,” she uttered as her clear


    gazended on Selena.


    Selena felt a lump forming in her throat—the young girl’s words had directly struck her in her soft


    spot. I really have the best daughter in the world, she thought as she gently fondled Juniper’s hair.


    She couldn’t manage to speak without choking on her tears then, so she simply pulled Juniper in for


    a tight hug.


    “Mommy, if the baby grows up and finds out that she only existed because I needed her help, she


    would be really sad. That’s why I don’t want to take the blood from her umbilical cord. Promise me


    that it won’t happen, okay, Mommy?” Juniper continued.


    “Okay. I promise. I promise you that it won’t happen.” Selena kissed the young girl on her forehead.


    …


    Selena had hoped for Hades to change his mind in the three days before their wedding, but it didn’t


    happen in the end. She didn’t catch a glimpse of him until the day of the wedding itself. On the day


    itself, Selena sat quietly in her room as she waited for the day to start.


    Barbie arranged for a stylist and a makeup artist to doll Selena up. Hades was a unique individual—


    he couldn’t adhere to theypeople’s tedious traditions and ceremonies. Their wedding was


    therefore just a simple celebration hosted in the castle itself—they wouldn’t need to travel


    anywhere.


    The guests were mostly Hades and Satan’s followers. Being the supportive brother he was, Satan


    had practically ordered every one of his followers to show up at Hades’ wedding. Selena could hear


    themotion happening outside her room from the moment she woke up in the morning. Once


    the stylist arrived, she sat down in front of the mirror and allowed the stylist to move her around.


    Barbie pushed the door open and stuck her head into the room. “You’re going to send everyone


    falling head over heels, you gorgeous bride!”


    Selena forced a smile onto her face as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. What’s the purpose


    of looking pretty when I’m not getting married to the man I love?


    “Are they all ready?” Selena asked.


    “You’re the only missing piece now!” Barbie sat down beside Selena as she continued rambling. “I


    saw Hades in a full suit earlier. Gosh, he was so attractive! He looked stunning. You’ll have to


    control your hormonester.”


    However, Selena wasn’t in the mood to talk about such matters—her mind was aplete mess.


    Right then, Melissa rushed back from the hospital and stopped by to greet Selena. “Hey, Selena. I


    can’t leave Juniper alone for too long, so I’m afraid I’ll have to leave halfway through the wedding


    ceremony.”


    “Thank you so much for helping,” Selena replied.


    “There’s no need to thank me.” Melissa could tell that Selena was troubled by something—Selena


    wouldn’t have hidden the wedding from Juniper otherwise.


    “Selena, are you… okay?” Melissa asked.


    Barbie was nowhere near as perceptive or sensitive as Melissa was, and she replied before Selena


    could say anything. “I bet she’s about to faint from happiness! Hahahaha…”


    Selena simply shed Melissa a smile. “I’m fine.”


    The time came for the wedding ceremony to begin officially. One of the past owners of the castle


    was a religious man, so there was a huge cross on disy in the ballroom. Hades had hired a priest


    for the ceremony, and the priest stood before the cross in his white, formal vestment right then as


    he waited for the bride and groom’s arrival.
