Chapter 347: [Bonus - ] Life was truly a series of thousands of tiny miracles.
[SHORT FLASHBACK]
"I’m sorry, darling. Please don’t cry anymore. I’m not worth it. I was bad, you know? If you know how bad I used to be, you will think this end is fitting. I’m not worth the tears, Dom. So, don’t cry baby."
Hera slowly closed her eyes, unaware of the tears that pooled underneath her eyelids.
Heaven watched Hera use her remaining time to comfort him with soft eyes. Seeing the two of them somehow brought this pain to her heart.
"No, you are worth every tear," said Heaven quietly, marching toward the bed where the three (Hera, Dominic, and her body) were at. "Hera —"
"I said leave!" this time, Hera snapped at her as she growled. Her aggressiveness made Heaven’s breath hitched, sensing the ominous aura seeping out of Hera’s fiery eyes.
But instead of backing away, Heaven mustered her courage to stay.
"Hera —"
"One more time, Heaven Liu." Hera hissed, almost digging a hole into Heaven’s hollow figure with her gaze. "One more time and —"
"Take care of me!" Heaven yelled with all the courage left in her, stopping Hera mid-sentence. She bit her lips, forcing a bitter smile as she took a step closer. "I won’t deny that I was a little angry and jealous that you are living my life, but then again, this life... was not mine. The life you are living isn’t my life, but the life you created. The only part I am in it is because of my body."
Heaven took a deep breath as she stood by the bed. It took a lot of guts to stop Hera from speaking, but she understood they were running out of time now.
