Under the Heiress' Facade

Amid the chaos, Hera traced Demand’s arm until she reached an acupuncture point, LIL. She pressed down hard on it.

Once Bernard’s grip weakened, Hera dashed away quickly. She rested her back against the wall, breathing heavily

Suddenly, there was aloud crash. Holding his head in pain, Bemad punched the wall next to Hera. His fist left a bloody mark on the white surface.

“Bernard!“Douglas rushed forward and rapped his arms around Bernard’s waist, pulling Dernard away from the wall to prevent further injury.

“Get a doctor, now!” Douglas yelled at Hera

Hera took a deep breath, bear gripping her as she watched Bernard’s struggle in agony. She had narrowly avoided being choked by him!

Seving Hera’s hesitation, Douglas shouted urgently, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up. I can’t hold him much longer!”

“Release him. I’ll take care of this.” Hera’s hand dropped to her side with a swift motion, a silver needle appeared between her fingertips.

Douglas was speechless by how calm she sounded.

When Bernard was in the throes of sickness, he’d morph into a wild beast. He would become so unney that even two grown men would struggle to restrain him. So, how could Hera possibly handle him?

As Douglas silently muttered, he suddenly received an elbow from Beard. Donglas granted as he was forcefully shoved away, crashing onto the ground.

In the grip of his illness, Bernard looked like a crazed beast ready to pounce on anything insight

He charged toward Hera, but she remained calm and unbethered. She aimed her silver needle and skillfully Beard’s M–HN–acupuncture point.

Bernard trace. Then, he slumped weakly toward Hera.

Douglas was amazed to see that Hera possessed a hidden weapon!

Later, h

r, he started to mull over the situation. How was it possible for Her to bring Beard under control with just one needle? Even two burly men couldn’t manage to restrain

manager Bernard during his episodes

In the infirmary, Bernard slowly woke up. His eyes fluttered open to find Hera above him. She had a pretty face with captivating eyes, though a hint of coldness lingered in her gaze.

He noticed faint, pleasant scent coming from her. Her hands were gently saying his temples, rasing away his discomfort. It had been ages since he felt this relaxed.

Bernard enjoyed the feeling. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

However, Hera saw through his act Her cold voice echoed from above “Stop faking. You’re awake.”

Douglas had been waiting nearby, and as soon as he heard Beard wake up, he rushed to his bedside. “Bernard, are you alright? Johnson is coming. You’ve never been out for so long before I was so worried”

Bernard didn’t reply, but he couldn’t pretend anymore. He pushed himelt up to sit, his denwance becoming sukma “Lend”

Douglas was startled by Bernard’s sudden outburst. Het hurt and confused by Beard’s harsh words, with a boy heart, he murmured, “Alright”

Thim, he quietly left the infirmary

Hera remained silent.

Bernard leaned back against the hospital bed, his eyes locked onto his bandaged hand, Lost in thought, he seemed to be reflecting on recent events

“Professor Kiljan, if you’re feeling better, I’ll head out,” Hera said before turning away. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

She had wanted to leave earlier, but Douglas had insisted that she stay and Bernard woke up,

*Considering the means my siblings use, do you really think they’ll let you got they findout you’re still alive? Beard questioned.

He lifted his gaze,)

„fixing it upon Hera’s Figure Without the barrier of his gold–rimmed glasses, his eyes sparkled with a piercing intensity.

Hera halted abruptly, memories of the dreadful events of that year flooding back. The biter conflicts among the Killian siblings Bed to Lucius‘ wrong imprisonment and Daphne’s tragic death in a car accident.

Demand’s mention of “the means my siblings use” appeared to separate himself from past events. But was the truth really that sample?

“Oh, you’re Bernard? Hera spun around as if she had just identified them before her. Yet, herexpression stayed cold

Observing this, Bernard couldn’t suppress a small smile. Want her attempt at acting somewhat awkward? the saw through it but decided not to point it out.

His perring gase softened slightly as he asked, “You’re not in a hurry to keep your distance from me anymore?

“What do you want?” Hera questioned

She was unsure of Bernard’s motives. Was he considering informing the killians that she was still alive?

Bemand noticed the wariness in her eyes, and it unsettled him. Maintaining calm demeanor, he gestured towed her. “Come here. Let me have a look. Is your neck okay? Herstood her ground, her icy stare locked on hi Uncle Bernard, there’s something wrong with you!”

Bernard was at a loss for words. He knew something was off about him, but here absolute confidence made him feel uneasy.

*Your assistant just you in modem medication, which includes Gabapentin and Carbamazepine. These are specifically used to treat neuropathic pain. “Considering the symptoms you’ve been experiencing during your episodes, it seems like you’ve been dealing with chronic headaches for quite a while, era explained.

She remembered the moment when Douglas brought Beard to the infirmary Douglas had the doctor take care of Bernard’s hand injury and then sent the doctor away After that, Douglas took out a

small bottle of medicine, gave Bernard a pill from it, and then made a phone radi.

Hera noticed the pill at that moment. Its shape resembled a modem medication that her online friend had researched for treating headaches, prompting her to take a closer look “Go on,” Benadorped

He narrowed his eyes at Hera, who seemed to give off an air of aloofness that kept everyone at arm’s length.

How had the once affectionate little princess, who used to cling to him every day, changed so much?

“This medication can bring about side effects and shouldn’t be used for a long time. I’ve learned alternative medicine from my grandmother, and I can help you treat this illness.” Hera suggested

Then, she added, “But in return, you must keep the fact that I’m alive a secret from the Killians until I reach adulthood.”
