Bab 501: [Bonus chapter] Such a precious life

Hera never understood her mother's remarks back then. Even when she grew older, she didn't have a deeper understanding of what Felice meant about her thoughts on delivering Hera to life. But the second she heard the baby's vociferous cry echo in the delivery room for the first time, her mind felt clearer than ever.
