"Isn't that right, Frank?"
Dragon narrowed his eyes as he held Leo's challenging gaze. After a second, the corner of his lips slowly curled up, amused at this man's deceptive skills and how quickly he adapted to the situation.
"That is correct," Dragon nodded, snapping his eyes at his wife. "It was Leo's wish to spare you from this even further."
"But…" Hera bit her bottom lip as she sighed deeply. "How is that possible?"
"Hera," Dragon squeezed her shoulder mildly. "What matters is that you are okay now, and Leo will be fine."
"See?" Leo smiled. "I'm fine, so don't feel disheartened anymore."
Hera assessed the reassuring smile plastered on Leo's face. She then looked up at her husband, only to see his smile.
"Fine," she conceded. "I'll try."
Both men smiled in satisfaction, but what she failed to notice was the glint in their eyes.
