Chapter 1038: Ten seasons
"We don’t have so much time," Gray remarked as he peeked through the door, checking if there was anyone outside. When she made sure no one was coming, he closed it carefully and locked it. He turned his head to the crib.
Standing beside the crib was Hera, looking down at the beautiful and chubby baby in it. Soft giggles echoed in the playroom as Miracle reached for the person standing by her crib.
"She’s not crying," Hera whispered, erecting her index to let Miracle hold it. "And she also has a very strong grip."
The panic swelling up in Gray’s heart slowly disappeared, watching Hera play with her daughter. He sighed deeply, leaning his back against the door. When Hera and Sebastian parted, Gray followed her to the fire exit. He wasn’t surprised when she suddenly asked him for a favor. In fact, he sort of expected that she would ask him to help her see Miracle.
Which explained the situation.
Gray distracted Miriam, telling her there was something Axel wanted her to do, and volunteered to look after Miracle. Hera snuck in when Miriam left.
"My Miracle," Hera whispered lovingly. "Did she gain more weight?"
Her eyes softened even more at the adorable big bun holding her finger. She was so cute and as white as snow.
"I will see you grow up, Miracle," she promised quietly. "Mommy will ensure you and your brother will have a life... just like everybody else. A normal one where you can be as free as a bird, fail as many times as you can and learn as much from them. A life without fear, without hate, and danger."
