Chapter 1000: Doesn’t belong to anywhere
Meanwhile, in the intensive care unit...
Heaven kept her eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling. It had been a while since Dominic left her alone. She told him whatever he wanted to know, and everything she could tell him.
But one thing.
Hera’s thoughts.
Just like when she woke up in Hera’s body, the memories the latter had left behind filled her head. It was the same when she woke up in this body. Even though this was her own body, she didn’t feel like it was hers anymore.
"The memories she created in this body... were just as haunting as the ones she had in her body," she whispered. "Because they weren’t mine."
In Hera’s original body, the memories of the original owner of the body were always gore. It was full of danger and pain. They were memories that could put a person on medication to keep going in life. They were traumatizing.
The memories of the original Hera created as Heaven Liu might be beautiful, but they were also unacceptable. Not because Heaven couldn’t accept that she could’ve lived a happy life, but rather, because Hera created those memories with this face, body, and identity.
Now that they returned to their original bodies, she wouldn’t easily reclaim everything.
Dominic might’ve known immediately, but what about Sebastian and Miracle? They knew their mother was Heaven and they would continue to believe so.
"I feel like a fraud in my own body." She closed her eyes and tears pooled behind her eyelids. "I don’t belong in her body, but I also don’t belong here. Why did she have to save me?"
If Hera didn’t save her and stopped after rescuing Leo, this wouldn’t have happened. Heaven was able to stomach Dragon’s tortures after all.
"She’s wrong... she doesn’t owe me."
Just as she claimed, she remembered every memory of the original Hera left in it. Which also meant she could perfectly follow Hera’s train of thought. It was true Hera didn’t have to save her. The real Hera also thought of that.
If she stayed away from this, it wouldn’t be a problem. After all, she was no saint and a hero who had a mission to save the world.
But why did Hera put herself in this situation? Why did she risk her life when she could’ve just jumped out of the car to save herself?
[Because that’s the least I can do for her.]
Suddenly, Heaven’s own words uttered by Hera rang in her head. That was her reason. The real Hera would never give up this life as Heaven Liu. Hence, she wanted to save her because it was the only thing she could do for the real Heaven.
"The more she does this, the more bad and useless I am," she whimpered, telling herself she should’ve just died as Hera. "I should’ve just let him torture me until I’m dead, so guilt wouldn’t cripple me."
Heaven covered her eyes with her arm, sniffing hard, sobbing. She felt like a joke and having to welcome Hera’s thoughts didn’t make her feel better. If anything, it only highlighted how useless she was. After all that big talk regarding showing the real Hera that this face also has a future, sounded like an empty promise now.
It would be a lie if Heaven didn’t wish to return to her body. Every time she woke up as Hera was a torture, every time she had to smile lovingly at Dragon, feel his touch without flinching, receive his kisses without throwing up, and say the words he wanted to hear even if it turned her stomach. It was hell.
But now that she returned to her body, she realized being back in her original body wasn’t as pleasant as she thought it was. Because at the end of the day, she was Heaven Liu.
Be it in Hera’s body or her own, she was this kind of person.
Pathetic, useless, a burden.
First, she burdened Leo as Hera, and now, Dominic and, for sure, Sebastian. She would just keep hurting people and herself.
"I should’ve just died..." she pounded her chest, sobbing through her gritted teeth. "Why do I have to live? Just let me die! Let me die!!! I hate myself! I hate you!"
Her screams and loud cries earned the attention of those outside the ward. When they entered the intensive care, they all rushed to Heaven to restrain her from hurting herself more. However, she continued to lose control of herself, forcing the staff to sedate her to calm her down.
"Useless..." she whispered as the drug slowly acted. "... please... just let me... die..."
As Heaven slowly fell unconscious, another person rushed to the intensive care unit along with the doctors and nurses. Axel stood across the room, watching how they restrained Heaven and sedated her. His eyes were wide, standing motionless, listening to her fading whimpers until she lost consciousness.
"Sis..." he whispered as a layer of tears coated his eyes. "Why are you... saying that?"
******
Axel stayed with Heaven even after the doctors reassured him she would be fine. His brother was still talking to those guys and no one else would look after her. Knowing his brother, nothing would matter if it was about his wife. Not that he blamed Dominic or questioned his feelings for his wife now.
"Why do you always worry me?" Axel muttered, eyes on Heaven. "Don’t say that again, sis. Don’t say that you want to die."
He pressed his lips as tight as he could as he held back his tears. He couldn’t help but remember what Heaven was like in the past. Back then, they didn’t have a good relationship. So after his constant bullying, Heaven exploded in anger.
At that time, she also said the same thing: she also wanted to die and didn’t want Dominic or Sebastian in her life. It angered him, but at the same time, he felt bad. After that, as much as possible, he avoided her because he knew not seeing her was the least he could do for the two of them. He hated her, but he didn’t wish for her to die.
"You should apologize when you wake up," he forced out a breath, holding her hand with trembling and sweaty hands. "Because... I’m scared you’d go back to that kind of person again."
"I heard what happened." Just then, Moose and Dominic came into the intensive care unit as soon as they heard what happened. "Is she okay?"
Dominic and Moose halted as they saw Axel wiping his tears with the back of his fist.
"Axel," called Dominic, only to see his little brother look up at him.
"Transfer her," Axel requested firmly. "I’ll look after her, but I can’t if she’s in here. Transfer her."
"Second young master, I’m sure you already heard about her situation —"
"I’ll look after her," Axel stressed, keeping his eyes on Dominic. "My sister is not fine and during this time, she needs someone who will look after her at all times."
His voice cracked as his breathing turned jagged. "Bro, please. My sister needs her family; she needs Basti. I promise I’ll be careful. Move her somewhere near us... please."
Dominic pressed his lips into a thin line, observing Axel’s sincerity quietly. How could he tell Axel that seeing Sebastian might not be what she needed? If anything, moving her closer to them and letting her see the children might worsen her emotional state.
Because that woman... isn’t the sister, Axel thought. It wasn’t the woman who would happily come home and hug her children as her means of recharging. She wasn’t the woman Dominic loved so deeply it hurt.
"Moose, prepare her transfer papers," Dominic ordered while holding Axel’s gaze.
"Dom —"
"I told you. My protection applies to my family..." Dominic remarked as if saying this tore his heart into pieces. "... that includes Heaven Liu."
