Chapter 746
Pierre stroked Selena's hair and replied, "Isn't it better to have fewer people you care about? There's less to worry about."
With that, he kissed Selena's brow. "Just put all your attention on me."
Amused, Selena thought that Pierre was unhappy that she was paying too much attention to their children and had neglected him. After that, Pierre's kiss slowly moved downward and then landed on Selena's lips, kissing those lips that he longed for.
Noting the increase in speed of his breathing, she slowly pushed him away. "You haven't slept well these days, and you've been running around during the day. How can you still have the mood to—"
"It just so happens that you've helped me get rid of the negative emotions, so now I can change my mood..."
At that, Selena was speechless.
Meanwhile, Jude leaned against the window, looking at the brilliant lights outside. Feeling melancholic, she sent a message to Satan: 'Satan, you have to promise me one thing. If one day you really have to go toe to toe with Pierre, don't hurt Selena and her children, okay?"
Not waiting for Satan to reply, Jude sent another message. 'Selena is the only family I have in this world."
She did not call Selena her friend or soul sister but addressed her as her family instead. This made it clear how important Selena was to her. Soon, Satan sent a reply. 'Alright.'
It was only one simple word, but it was more than enough.
'What are you doing?' Finally, Jude could text her long-distance boyfriend like any other couple.
'Just finished work. How about you?'
'I... I am thinking about you.'
Unexpectedly, Satan just simply replied with an 'Oh.'
This made Jude feel rather upset. 'Don't you miss me?'
'I do.'Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Looking at the phone screen, Jude curved up her lips, and her smile did not go away for a long time.
It was Jason's surgery day at the hospital, so Jocelyn went to the nearby church to pray beforehand so that Jason's surgery would go as smoothly as possible. Later, Wyatt came early to start some preoperative preparations.
Soon, the lights in the operating
room came on, and both Jocelyn
and Linda guarded outside the door. While Jocelyn kept her hands clasped together and silently prayed, Linda sat on the edge of her seat. Although this was a hospital, Linda did not dare to be careless. She had been hiding in the ward and not going out if she could. Even when facing the doctors and nurses, she was extremely careful. However, today was the day of surgery, so it was inappropriate if she was not sitting outside the operating room. The surgery area in this hospital was set up such that all the operating rooms were in the same area. Hence, all surgeries conducted that day were in the same location, just in different rooms. Thus, there were all kinds of people coming and going. Linda was afraid that if she
accidentally bumped in Someone,
she would be caught by Pierre. She knew that she couldn't continue to stay here, and she must find a place to hide.
"Aunt Jocelyn, my stomach is not feeling too well. I'm going to the restroom." Linda stood up.
"Okay, go ahead." Jocelyn's eyes
didn't even open; she was still praying with her hands clasped together for her son so that everything would go well. When Linda just came to the restroom door, she saw several people in suits coming her way.
"There she is!" A bodyguard recognized Linda.
At that moment, Linda quickly turned around and fled in the direction of the operating room with the bodyguards chasing after her. Such a commotion broke out on this side of the surgery area, and everyone didn't know what was happening.
"Aunt Jocelyn, Aunt Jocelyn, save me!"
The bodyguards ran straight toward Linda.
"Who are you people, and what do you want?" Jocelyn jerked to her feet.
