Chapter 738 The Notebook
Seeing Zhane’s stern expression, Dave pouted dramatically, pulling an exaggerated face. However, after a few seconds, he slumped his shoulders in defeat and nodded. With that, they pushed thoughts of Athena and Zen aside, focusing instead on their queen—Hera—who was still fast asleep in the other room.
Zhane moved silently, making his way toward the bedroom. Carefully, he cracked the door open just enough to peek inside. His lips curled into a small smirk at the sight before him—Hera and Luke were still snuggled up together, fast asleep, completely at ease.
Zhane let out a quiet chuckle before gently closing the door. Without wasting time, he made a call to request a fresh set of clothes and toiletries for Hera, ensuring she would have everything she needed for a warm shower once she woke up.
He wasn’t alone—both Dave and Rafael were also making their own preparations.
Dave called the hotel’s kitchen to ensure that a meal would be ready for Hera when she woke up. He was meticulous with his request, making sure the food wasn’t just delicious but also nutritious, complete with soup and a well-balanced entrée.
Meanwhile, Rafael reached out to Hera’s manager, Betty, to confirm and make sure that no activities should be scheduled for the day. He didn’t mention the scandal currently spreading online or how Hera had almost been dragged into it.
Instead, he simply made it clear that Hera needed a break today and, if possible, asked Betty to keep tomorrow’s schedule tentative, leaving the decision up to Hera on whether she wanted to work or continue resting.
Once everything was arranged, the three of them quietly returned to the room, slipping back into bed and wrapping Hera in their arms.
Zhane, who had managed to slip in beside Hera, pulled her closer, wrapping her in a gentle embrace. Deep in sleep, Hera only stirred slightly before instinctively snuggling closer to him, her mouth slightly open as she remained lost in her dreams. Zhane couldn’t help but smile affectionately at the sight.
Carefully, he brushed aside a few strands of hair clinging to her lips, tucking them behind her ear before pressing his face against the top of her head. With a contented sigh, he closed his eyes.
Rafael and Dave settled in behind Zhane and Luke, finding their own comfortable positions before drifting off as well. The soft, steady rhythm of Hera’s breathing filled the quiet room, lulling them into rest.
