Chapter 1075: Come back to me somehow
The sound of the motorbike roaring on the road rang in the air as Hera sped through the highway. She kept switching lanes at high speed, making the very few cars honk at her. She even thought she heard curses along the way, but she wasn’t so sure about it. She didn’t pay attention.
Hera just kept speeding, as if she was running out of time. Regardless of the dangers that were being carried out by her actions, she didn’t care. It wasn’t like a little bit of pain was enough to scare her anymore. She was already in unimaginable pain that an accident sounded like a piece of cake.
Her grip on the lever tightened, eyes fixed on the road, tears on them.
"I can’t..." Dominic’s sobs rang in her ears, still feeling his lingering hold on her body. "Hera, I... can’t... it hurts."
Hera clenched her teeth, twisting down the lever to speed up even more.
When Dominic embraced her as tight as he could, he kept begging her through his quiet sobs. He was almost choking, clasping her clothes as if that was the least he could do to stop her. She had never seen him break down that much. Even when she "died" as Heaven the first time, Dominic managed to keep his composure.
But tonight, he couldn’t.
It broke him and made him vulnerable to anything. She could no longer say she was in a hundred times more pain because what she saw, what she felt, and what she heard from his voice was pain even she couldn’t measure.
It made her want to come back, to bend, to tell him, "Fine, let’s find another way to do this." Hence, she was driving as if the road behind her was crumbling. She had to get away fast because, if not, she could see herself coming back to him and swallowing everything she had said. No matter how shameless that appeared.
