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.
