Chapter 903: My heart will never be yours
"Thank you for everything. I really appreciate your help. Now I can leave with a smile on my face."
Hera stood motionless in her spot, watching Leo fearlessly taunt Dragon. Leo’s action not only rendered her speechless but everyone present. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they even felt terrified for him. Dragon might be as calm as a still, but every single one of them knew exactly what he was capable of.
Some felt Leo was foolishly brave, but at the same time, they found him... outrageously amazing for being able to maintain his cool after that.
’Leo...’Hera called in her mind, staring at Leo’s back as the man walked away. ’You really are foolish... but I think I am more foolish than you.’
Her tensed shoulders relaxed as her face softened. Her tight fist loosened up slowly and the corner of her mouth curled up into a subtle smile.
’Miracle happens when you believe in it,’ she whispered to herself, turning to Dragon ever so slowly. ’He’s still alive. I can still see him. I’ve been praying all night for someone to save him, but I didn’t do anything aside from that.’
Looking at Dragon’s dark expression, Hera swallowed the tension in her throat. ’This might waste all his efforts to keep me away from the terrible repercussion, but... if I can save him, I would. Even if I get hurt in the process and even if I have to fall deeper into this inferno, I don’t mind.’
Dragon’s dark expression slowly changed as he heard a faint thud from his side. Shifting his gaze to where the sound came from, deep lines appeared between his brows when his eyes fell on the floor. There, Hera was kneeling.
"Hera," he called, confused with a tinge of annoyance. "What are you doing?"
