Chapter 564 Little Minx
"Y-you’re talking to me?" Minerva stammered, her voice tinged with surprise as she looked up to find Hera’s eyes on her.
The unexpected attention caught her off guard, nearly causing her to choke on her food again.
Her flustered gaze instinctively darted to her brother, seeking reassurance.
Though she had begun to warm up to Hera, the guilt from her past actions lingered, making her feel unworthy of Hera’s kindness.
However, when her eyes met Rafael’s, she found him smiling at her with an encouraging, doting expression, as though he was content just watching his two favorite people interact.
Taking a deep breath to steady her racing heart, Minerva mustered the courage to respond.
"A-A-Anything Sister Hera brings would be best," Minerva muttered softly, her voice shy but loud enough for everyone in the ward to hear.
Hera’s smile widened, and she nodded in acknowledgment without saying another word.
Turning her attention back to Rafael, she resumed feeding him, and he ate with enthusiasm, a satisfied grin never leaving his face.
Rafael, fully embracing the role of a spoiled young master, continued to point playfully at the dishes he wanted, his smile growing brighter each time Hera indulged his requests.
The warm atmosphere filled the room, leaving an unspoken sense of harmony among everyone present.
