Chapter 539 Good News And Bad News
Before Hera closed her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Dave’s face. A knowing smile spread across his lips as he lay on the bed, his gaze still fixed on her.
It was as if his expression was saying, ’I did great, didn’t I? Saved you from having to explain yourself...’ Hera couldn’t help but smile faintly in return, silently acknowledging his unexpected help.
It was only then that Hera realized Dave’s actions had been a calculated move, designed to help her avoid the awkwardness of an explanation or the guilt of offering a half-believable excuse.
It dawned on her that everyone had already picked up on the fact that she was hiding something, yet they all chose to turn a blind eye.
Instead, they played along with Dave’s antics, shifting the focus and easing the tension in the air.
In a way, they were all complicit, working together to give Hera a way out without having to confront the truth.
For some reason, Hera felt like she was choking on her own words.
She could only reach out and pat Dave’s hair a few times, unsure of what else to do. Dave closed his eyes, a satisfied gleam in his gaze, his eyes turning into crescent moons as he basked in the silent praise from his favorite person.
Hera took a deep breath and closed her eyes, pushing all the thoughts swirling in her mind aside.
The group took a nap and woke up just before lunch.
Since Hera hadn’t returned to the penthouse, Hannah and Amy assumed she had stayed at the hospital with Rafael.
