Hera gazed towards the door of her mother's hospital room. Ah, she had been staring at it for the past 10 minutes. Hoping for a miracle."Alright, I'll think about everything while working today," Hera said eventually. She decided to get up and hurriedly make her way to a restaurant. Of course, to work.Hera quickened her pace. Ah, she was almost late for today. But thankfully, her boss was aware of her situation so far. So, she felt relieved about that."Almost there," Hera muttered. She then rushed to change her clothes and started working.Today, Hera had the afternoon shift. That meant she would work until nightfall. No problem, she preferred working at that time because if it were in the morning, she would have to go back to the hospital to take care of her critically ill mother."Hera, I thought you wouldn't come today," said Jessy - one of her understanding colleagues, just like her boss, of course.Hera looked at Jessy and smiled, "Of course I'll come, besides, I've already ha

"What? You're unusually kind, Sean," Hera's heart raced as she remained kneeling in her current position. Well, at least she could identify this kind man. His name was Sean."Thank you, Mr. Sean. I'm deeply sorry for what happened tonight," Hera said afterwards.Sean looked at Hera, even smiling faintly upon hearing her, "Stand up, it's not nice if others see you like that."Hera blushed again. Oh, this kind man made Hera regret her actions so much. She had been so reckless.Obediently, Hera stood up and nodded, "I'll replace your drink with a new one. Please wait a moment."Hera immediately left and was followed by David afterward."You're very kind, for once," Nick, Sean's friend who had been instigating the situation, said."It's none of your business," Sean replied, then smiled to himself.On one hand, David immediately instructed other staff to make a new drink for Sean."No, let me do it. After all, I'm the one at fault for what happened," Hera said. But still, David shook his h

Hera sighed for the umpteenth time. That night, she had indeed decided to stay overnight at the hospital, and she also wanted to meet the doctor who was handling her mother."Hera."The woman turned towards the source of the voice, smiling, and then rose to her feet. "Yes, Sus? Can I meet the doctor who is treating my mother now?""I'm sorry, Hera. But apparently, the doctor is performing emergency surgery tonight, so you can come tomorrow morning and meet him. Regarding your mother, I'll keep watching over her, as usual. You can go back home and rest," the nurse said.Hera smiled bravely. "Thank you, Sus. Please let me know if there's anything, and I'll stay here.""It's your choice. But you can go back home if you want, then I'll excuse myself," the nurse said and then went into Hera's mother's ward.Hera let the woman go to take care of her mother. This time, she sat back in her original position and bowed her head.Her mind returned to a piece of information she received yesterday

Hera opened her eyes instantly. She felt as if her body was shattered when she tried to move."Where am I?" Hera muttered softly.She tried to remember everything. After realizing something, it seemed that Hera chose to sit."Oh my, that night," Hera muttered suddenly.Yes, it could be said that it was a very unusual event for Hera. She was not unfamiliar with the activities in the bedroom around her, especially in New York. However, Hera had a principle to maintain her chastity until she got married. Because, she thought her chastity was the most beautiful crown for her future husband.But apparently, all of that disappeared in one night."It doesn't matter, anyway, I did it all for my mother," Hera muttered."I never do foreplay or the foreplay that many people do out there. It's because I'm impatient, and I don't care if my partner feels uncomfortable. Besides, they get their reward, whatever they want, I will grant it afterward."All those words echoed in Hera's mind until that mo

Hera is waiting for her mother's administrative details. Ah, of course, she feels so happy and eager to finish everything soon. She has also met with the Doctor who is taking care of her mother."I heard directly from the Doctor, if Mom is getting better, then I can take Mom back home," Hera murmured. She was even impatient to bring her mother back home.Hera smiled as she received a piece of paper there. She accepted it enthusiastically. Ah, finally, all the administrative details of her mother's hospitalization have been settled."Thank you," Hera murmured as she was about to get up from her seat, but suddenly she bumped into a Doctor who was walking towards her. Yes, they were walking in opposite directions, of course."Hera?"Feeling that the Doctor knew her, Hera immediately raised her head. Her eyes widened, "Thomas?"The man named Thomas smiled broadly, "Oh my, we meet here. How are you?"Hera smiled upon hearing that. Yes, Thomas was one of her old school friends. They seemed

Since Nick's presence in the room, their conversation continued until finally a ringtone from Sean's phone interrupted it.Sean sighed heavily as he read the name displayed on his phone screen at the moment.Eventually, Sean accepted the call."Yes, hello.""Ah, here's the one Mom has been waiting for since earlier. Are you so busy that it took you quite a while to answer this call?"Sean fell silent for a moment upon hearing that. He was sure that question was the main thing to be asked of him."Yes, I'm very busy.""But you can still chat with Nick apparently. Busy from where, do you mean?"Sean glanced at Nick instantly, and there Nick seemed to just chuckle as Sean looked at him sharply."Oh, come on. What's up? What do I have to do today?""Not much, just accompany Mom for lunch today. You can also bring someone, maybe a woman you want to introduce to Mom?""Alright, this time I'll choose the restaurant.""Oh, of course. Send the address to Mom."Sean immediately checked some res

Hera tried to shake off her awkwardness. For the past 30 minutes, she and Sean had been sitting in silence like this, facing each other.She didn't know why Sean had invited her to a restaurant in the afternoon, but Hera didn't dwell on it. In fact, she was grateful that Sean hadn't invited her to a hotel or something similar. She felt safe this time, she thought."Do you not like the food you ordered?" Sean asked suddenly, looking at Hera who had been visibly uneasy since earlier. Even when their food arrived, she still showed it quite clearly."No, of course everything is delicious. I just feel a bit awkward, sorry," Hera finally said honestly. Somehow, it felt difficult to lie to this man. His aura was strong and intimidating. Quite strange."Just relax. I just wanted to have my lunch, albeit late, but it doesn't matter. I happened to choose this restaurant because it's close to your workplace, right? So, I invited you along," Sean explained while continuing to enjoy his steak.Her

Hera hailed a taxi that had taken her to a skyscraper building.After paying the fare, she quickly got out of the taxi and appeared to be amazed by what she was seeing now."It seems he lives in one of the famous penthouses in New York," Hera murmured, looking incredibly impressed.Sean had told her that she could enter without contacting him first. This was because Hera had special access to enter the luxurious place, information she received from Sean when they met at the restaurant a while ago.Ping!Assisted by the elevator, Hera waited for the door to open. After a few moments, Sean appeared, wearing only a black hoodie and trousers. Somehow, he looked quite youthful in that attire, appearing fresher and younger."Why didn't you just come in? I told you, didn't I?" Sean asked Hera."It's okay, I'm still not used to it. But some people on the lower floors even offered to escort me here. I felt embarrassed and chose to decline," Hera said.Sean didn't respond to that. "Come in," he
