Chapter 1000: Doesn’t belong to anywhere
Meanwhile, in the intensive care unit...
Heaven kept her eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling. It had been a while since Dominic left her alone. She told him whatever he wanted to know, and everything she could tell him.
But one thing.
Hera’s thoughts.
Just like when she woke up in Hera’s body, the memories the latter had left behind filled her head. It was the same when she woke up in this body. Even though this was her own body, she didn’t feel like it was hers anymore.
"The memories she created in this body... were just as haunting as the ones she had in her body," she whispered. "Because they weren’t mine."
In Hera’s original body, the memories of the original owner of the body were always gore. It was full of danger and pain. They were memories that could put a person on medication to keep going in life. They were traumatizing.
The memories of the original Hera created as Heaven Liu might be beautiful, but they were also unacceptable. Not because Heaven couldn’t accept that she could’ve lived a happy life, but rather, because Hera created those memories with this face, body, and identity.
Now that they returned to their original bodies, she wouldn’t easily reclaim everything.
Dominic might’ve known immediately, but what about Sebastian and Miracle? They knew their mother was Heaven and they would continue to believe so.
"I feel like a fraud in my own body." She closed her eyes and tears pooled behind her eyelids. "I don’t belong in her body, but I also don’t belong here. Why did she have to save me?"
