Chapter 801 Emergency
Zhane felt a heat surge through his body as Hera’s words reached his ears. The simple thanks she gave him made his heart swell, a rush of emotion flooding him like fireworks exploding in his chest.
In that moment, his mind was consumed by nothing but her. He never realized how deeply being appreciated and recognized by the woman he loved could affect him. The joy he felt now far surpassed any recognition he had ever received, whether it was completing a complex surgery or making a groundbreaking discovery.
To him, Hera’s gratitude was more than any accolade or achievement—it was everything.
He had never imagined, in a million years, that he would fall this deeply for someone. Yet, here he was—completely, irrevocably in love with her. As he kissed Hera, Zhane’s eyes reddened, the overwhelming emotion threatening to spill over.
But this time, they didn’t push beyond the kiss. They chose to savor the moment, to let the depth of their connection settle into something pure. It wasn’t that they feared tainting their feelings—it simply felt right. In that moment, they wanted nothing more than to feel each other’s presence, to live in the now without rushing forward.
For Hera, this simple act of closeness was enough to quiet the whirlwind inside her. She stopped thinking about the novel’s plot, her fate as the cannon fodder, or how to rewrite her future. All those worries faded into the background. For now, it was just them, and that was all that mattered.
She was still reeling from the happiness that came with finally seeing the fruits of her hard work. After everything she had endured, it finally felt like her efforts were paying off.
Although her relationship with the male leads had started with deception and manipulation, now, for the first time, she felt she could truly move forward with them.
Yet, at the back of her mind, she knew she owed them the truth—her real identity, her secrets, and the reason she had approached them in the first place.
