The attacks quickly turned malevolent, leaving Hera without any defenders. In just one morning, her reputation had already been shattered. When Logan discovered what was happening, he rushed around the campus searching for Hera. However, he was frequently interrupted by girls eager to get his number or simply to meet him.
For the first time, the usually timid Logan found himself snapping at people who pestered him while he frantically searched for Hera. His concern that she might be bullied or deeply hurt by the nder drove him to push back against the interruptions.
He didn’t even realize that he had snarled angrily at the girls dying him, sending them away in tears. Unmoved by their distress, his anxiety only intensified as he imagined Hera crying in the same way, surrounded by people pointing fingers and mocking her.
The situation was deeply unsettling for him, reopening old wounds from his childhood when he was bullied for being different. He didn’t want Hera to endure such a nightmare. He admired her confidence and sunny personality, seeing her as his sun and moon, a beacon of light and warmth in his life.
She was the person who shone brighter than anyone else in the sky, and during dark times, she was also the light guiding lost souls like him, ensuring they wouldn’t be swallowed by the abyss and giving them a chance to improve and live better.
As he frantically searched the vast campus, tears welled up in his eyes, turning them red with worry. The more he failed to find Hera, the darker his thoughts grew, gued by grim possibilities he could barely stand. The idea of her being at the center of such cruelty was unbearable to him. He’d endure the bullying himself withoutint, but seeing Hera subjected to it ignited a deep, unfamiliar hatred within him, a feeling he had never known before.
He loathed those who sought to hurt Hera, a woman who had done nothing wrong and was not only beautiful but also genuinely kind andpassionate. She had gone out of her way to help a struggling boy like him, giving him a chance to stand on his own without asking for anything in return. Yet, despite her kindness, she was being maligned and treated with contempt. It enraged him to see someone so selfless and deserving of respect being degraded and disrespected.
Unable to find Hera on his own, he called his assistant for help. He instructed them to reach out to Hera’s assistant and their manager, Betty, to inform them of the situation while he continued his search across the campus. He wanted to cover all bases to ensure her safety. Aware of the online attacks targeting Hera, he feared that some of her anti-fans might try to harm her.
<i>’Is it her anti-fans causing this trouble, or could it be Alexi’s overzealous supporters targeting her?’</i> Logan wondered, his shirt soaked with sweat as he continued his frantic search around the campus.
Logan chanted silent prayers for Hera’s safety as he continued his desperate search around the campus. He was on the verge of tears, feeling like a lost puppy searching for its owner in a crowded city. Fortunately, just as he was about to lose hope, he spotted Hera sitting under a tree, deeply engrossed in a book about advanced business knowledge.
Hera, wearing headphones, sat calmly under the tree, absorbed in her book, oblivious to the students around her who were loudly gossiping and trying to provoke her. Despite their tant attempts to get under her skin, Hera remained unaffected and indifferent. When Logan saw her handling the situation with such grace, he couldn’t hold back his tears.
Logan walked straight up to Hera, and as soon as he was in front of her, he copsed onto his knees, sobbing uncontrobly like a child.
