Chapter 266: If that is what you want
There were many things Bear could remember about Hera. His life revolved around her for many years, but there was one thing he could never forget about her.
Back then, Hera would habitually suggest that he retire from his duties. Some days, he would feel annoyed by her, as it made him feel less wanted. Other times, he would appreciate her intention behind her suggestions.
Hera had always wished to be like everybody else. However, she didn’t have the capability to trust someone to a certain degree or let anyone in that area of her heart. Thus, her wish to become a mother or wife was farfetched. It wasn’t because there wasn’t anyone willing to give her family, but rather, Hera wasn’t desperate enough. So, she was glad that Bear found someone whom he could trust, love, and someone who had accepted not just his light, but also his darkness.
Even on her deathbed, Hera kept telling Bear to take care of his wife. To make up for all the time he was absent and the troubles he had caused her. That was a part of her last will.
But alas...
"Bernard!" Her voice shook, eyes bloodshot. "Can you hear yourself? Esme was there when you needed her the most! And yet, where were you when she needed you?!"
For a moment, time stopped for Bear as her furious remarks echoed in his mind. His pupils went wide, staring at the furious Heaven Liu as she ground her teeth angrily.
How?
How did you know her name?
No.
That wasn’t the right question.
