Chapter 898: Don’t cry because of me
"Leo! Open the door!" Hera banged the door while yelling for the person inside to open it. "I said open the door! Leo! Come out!"
When she excused herself from Dragon, she dragged her feet straight to the guest house. As expected, no one was there. So, she went straight to his room to talk to him. But alas, the door was locked and Leo wouldn’t talk to her.
"Leo, let’s talk!" she yelled as she continuously banged the door. "I heard that he’s sending you away! Leo! Do you know what that means?! You can’t go!"
Hera clenched her teeth as she desperately rattled the doorknob while pounding on the door. Much to her dismay, it wouldn’t open. Just a day ago, she told him she wouldn’t come in here anymore, nor would she see him again.
Just yesterday, she bid him farewell and said all those harsh words to him. But here she was, banging the door with all her might to see him.
"Come on!" she called through her gritted teeth, this time, kicking the door open. "Please! Open the door!"
Hera stopped when she figured she wouldn’t break this door down. She slowly placed her hands on the surface of the door, her knuckles bruised from all the knocking and banging. Tears streamed down her cheeks, biting her quivering lips, feeling her knees turn as soft as tofu.
"Please." Compared to the volume of her yells, her voice this time was barely above a whisper. "Don’t go. He will... he will... I won’t be able to take it if you die. I put you in this situation. If not for me, he wouldn’t even know your existence."
Hera closed her eyes, but her tears simply pooled underneath her eyelids. "I know it’s stupid and I know I said all those hurtful things yesterday, but... please... let’s talk."
