Chapter 210 The Target

Leo's usually silent demeanor transformed as he locked eyes with Hera, a fierce intensity burning in his gaze. Hera, retrieving the pill bottle from her bag, found her hand trembling involuntarily under his penetrating stare. She felt as though she were being scrutinized by a predator, poised to pounce and consume her at any moment.

Despite her nerves, Hera opened the pill bottle. "Hera..." Leo's voice, laced with intimacy, reached her ears, intensifying her insecurity. His penetrating gaze added to her unease, causing her stomach to churn incessantly. This level of nervousness was unprecedented for Hera; even when she first encountered Leo in similar circumstances, she hadn't reacted so strongly.
