Chapter 750 Someone Came Back From The Dead
"Babe!" Athena’s face instantly lit up the moment she saw Hera. But then, her attention quickly shifted to the sleek new car parked beside her, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
"A new car, huh? Let me guess, a gift from one of your lovers?" she teased, already circling the vehicle with an appraising look, her curiosity completely overshadowing the fact that they had an audience.
"This is a sweet ride!" she exclaimed, grinning as she playfully smacked Hera on the back. The force of it, however, was enough to send a tingling sensation rippling through Hera’s spine, making her gasp for air.
Hera shot a glare at Athena before dramatically rolling her eyes. "Is this your way of showing you’re jealous? That stings, you know..." She reached back, trying to rub the sore spot, but it was just out of her reach, making her scowl even more at Athena.
Athena, however, only burst into laughter, clearly amused. But something about her mood seemed off—she was too happy. Hera narrowed her eyes suspiciously, sensing that Athena was hiding something.
Her curiosity piqued, but before she could even ask, a sudden tug on her wrist from behind startled her.
Reacting on instinct, Hera swiftly stepped back, rotating her arm and shifting her hips as she attempted to grab and flip the person over her shoulder. But they were faster—anticipating her move, they stepped back just in time, creating distance between them.
Since Hera hadn’t managed to catch the person, she quickly turned around, ready to confront whoever had grabbed her. But the moment her eyes landed on them, she froze in surprise—she had almost forgotten about this person.
"Alexi?" Hera hesitantly called out, her voice laced with uncertainty. Her eyes swept over him, taking in his disheveled appearance.
The Alexi she remembered was strong, healthy, and well-built, with a handsome face. But the man standing before her now was a shadow of that memory—thinner, unkempt, and wrapped in gauze, particularly around his head. He looked as if he had just been discharged from the hospital... or maybe, escaped from one.
Hearing Hera call his name, Alexi’s eyes lit up with hope. The unkempt stubble growing under his chin had altered his appearance so much that even his former fans failed to recognize him.
