Task NO.1: How To Pursue Miss CEO

Chapter 266

Chapter 266 Proposal Preparation

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-class mission, but the main guy here is you. Nobody can propose in your place, so you have to do it yourself,” Barbie piped up.

Hades snorted once more. “Naturally.” “So what’s your goosebump-inducing, eighties-romcom-esque proposal speech have you come up with?” Barbie gave him a curious look.

When he heard that, Hades glanced 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 moment later, she exclaimed, “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 a coma, 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 alarm from the machines made her jump. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

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 while later, 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 moment later, 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.
