Chapter 1027: You and me
More people arrived at the mansion every five minutes. Some arrived by a chopper, others by car. There were even those who came on foot. Most of them knew each other, but some of the arrivals were new faces. Faces they had never seen before except Hera. Fortunately, Hera provided them with a system to make the process easier. Since an enemy managed to sneak in amid the situation, the security tightened.
Hera watched everything from the window, sitting on the wide windowsill, that provided enough space for a person to sit on. Tiger, on the other hand, sat on the chair near her spot, wiping the blood off her hands.
"I talked to Princess," he said, breaking the prolonged silence between them. "She told me the kids are fine. Dominic raised more security around them and Basti also knew the news was fake."
Tiger glanced up, his eyes landing on her side profile. She still had her eyes on the window beside her, bearing no reaction or emotion.
"Should I keep talking about them?" he asked quietly. "Or does it only hurt you?"
"How was she?" Hera whispered emotionlessly after another minute of silence. "Heaven. Was she fine?"
"Mentally, she’s a mess. But, physically?" Tiger nodded, setting his attention to the gaps of her finger to continue wiping them. "It’s a miracle. From what I heard, she was supposed to be brain-dead and even if she woke up, she would have brain damage. But when she woke up, she had the energy to lose her mind. Though she was able to tell us the effects whenever you switched bodies before she went hysterical."
Tiger stopped wiping her hand, holding it and stroking the back of her hand with his thumb. "To be honest, I don’t know if that should make me feel happy."
"Heaven is Heaven and no matter what, I am Hera," she muttered, eyes still on the busy crowd in the wide landscape. "Everything in this world always falls to their rightful place. I should’ve known her body isn’t my place, and going back is inevitable."
