Chapter 995: You’re safe now, Heaven.
"Can she get up and fight in this state? From a doctor’s point of view and a friend, can she?"
Moose’s remarks halted at Dominic’s sudden question. Deep lines appeared between his brows, observing Dominic, who was still staring intensely at his wife.
"Fight?" Moose scoffed. "To be honest, if I’m being personal, she can. With all her injuries healing up at such an impossible speed, she might be running around in a few days. That is, if she responds!"
"Wait." He paused and frowned, looking at Dominic in displeasure. "Do you think she would escape?"
"No. I’m not talking about her," Dominic whispered, eyes still on Heaven, planting his hand on her shoulder. He smiled while his lips quivered, patting her shoulder as mild as he could, it almost appeared awkward. "You’re safe now, Heaven."
He nodded reassuringly, swallowing down the lump in his throat. Those present especially, Bear, Moose, Fig, and Tiger furrowed their brows. Did he call her Heaven? As far as they knew, Dominic had been calling her Hera whenever it was them. But then again, Ivy and Axel were present.
That must be the reason... they thought until they heard Dominic’s next remarks.
"Leo is also safe," added Dominic and everyone almost held their breath as her eyes crawled in Dominic’s direction. "I checked on him a few days ago, and he wouldn’t stop telling me to help you. He was practically begging. He was worried sick that something bad might have happened to you."
Tears slowly rolled down Heaven’s temple, staring at Dominic squarely. Her lips parted, quivering as she tried to whisper out her words.
"It’s... my fault." Her voice was coarse and shaky, speaking just a few words left a painful scratch on her throat, but she forced herself to speak more. "... sorry... I’m sorry, Dominic Zhu."
Moose dropped the chart in his hand while everyone’s faces went blank, staring at her listlessly. Tiger even staggered back, grasping what this situation was.
