Chapter 897: What’s best for everyone
The next day...
"What?" Hera felt her entire body turn cold as if someone just splashed her with a bucket of ice-cold water. At the back of her mind, she was hoping she heard Dragon wrong.
Dragon, who was in the head seat, picked up the napkin as he explained.
"I’ve discussed it with Leo, and we both agreed it’s best for his recovery," His tone laced with nonchalance as he wiped his mouth. "Although he looks fine, Leo’s condition is far more complicated than it appears. So, he needs a more sophisticated treatment which unfortunately is unavailable in this country. That is why he needs to go abroad and receive treatment there."
Dragon placed the cloth on the table, fluttering his eyelashes back to her slowly. "He’s leaving tomorrow."
"Why..." Hera trailed off as she lowered her eyes, trying to process his announcement so early in the morning. "... so sudden?"
"It’s not sudden, Hera." Dragon leaned back, seeing her reaction as natural as she had been close to Leo. Therefore, he expected such a reaction from her. "We’ve already discussed this even before you met him. It was just that the specialist who could look after him was very busy at that time. So, he had to stay here and follow the instructions the specialist told us."
"I didn’t mention it to you because I think it wasn’t my place to do so," he continued without blinking. "I was simply hoping he would tell you about it, but seeing your reaction, I was wrong. In the end, he still made me break the news to you."
Hera slowly lifted her eyes to Dragon, opening and closing her mouth, but no words came out. All she could do was stare at those pair of apathetic eyes looking straight at her.
