Chapter 729: He knew.
On the day of Hera’s death, most reapers gathered in the private facility where Hera was admitted. Deborah could remember how dangerous the atmosphere in the facility was at that time. The Reapers took up the entire floor; some were weeping quietly, while others were throwing huge fits.
Deborah remembered a few of them threatening the doctors. But alas, in the end, none of them could change their boss’s mind.
Hera Cruel decided to die through a mercy kill. She didn’t want to stay longer, thinking she had already settled everything. She disbanded the Reapers and got rid of any authorities from her people’s backs. For Hera, not being a burden to her people was the right thing to do.
But for Deborah, that was the stupidest thing she had done. This decision led to Dragon exploiting Hera’s vulnerability and resulted in June’s death.
Standing in the morgue, Deborah darted her eyes between the women lying motionless on the steel bed. They had the same face, though June didn’t look as sickly as Hera.
’This...’Deborah could feel her heart thud against her chest. A thin layer of tears coated her eyes as the veins in her sclera turned red. ’This is his plan all along?’
"Deb..."
Deborah’s breath hitched as she heard June’s weak voice. She furrowed her brows, seeing June trying her best to lift her hand.
"June," she whispered as she rushed to June’s side to hold her hand.
