Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 452

"Did you send the medicine I gave you the last time for testing?" Hera asked while slowly opening the acupuncture kit on the table.

Having suffered at Camille's hands, Aurora had taken some drugs, almost causing her to miscarry.

Given her past experience, Hera was certain that after Aurora received the medicine from her, she definitely would have it tested. Only when the medicine was certified to be safe would she dare to consume

it.

Aurora gazed at Hera while covering her pale lips without a word.

"Based on the current situation, you should know very well that it's not up to me whether I can help you keep your baby. That depends on whether the culprit who swapped out the medicine wants you to give birth to this baby," Hera explained.

Hearing that made Aurora lean against the headboard with a pale face. She seemed somewhat dazed and frightened.

Hera stared at her pitiful state and recalled the time when Bernard was poisoned. She suddenly found it hilarious and saddening.

This was the Killian family. On the surface, they seemed to be a harmonious and happy family that had a mutual affection for one another. In reality, the family was being torn apart from within, engaged in internal conflict and betrayal.

If Catherine hadn't forcibly taken her away from the Killian residence, Hera might not have grown up in a safe environment.

Aurora recalled all the people she had been in contact with during this period, and they were her family members. The thought made her skin crawl.

"What should I do now?" Aurora asked with reddened eyes. Aside from Hera, who could help her with pregnancy, she had no idea who else she could trust now.

"I can't reverse the harm caused by the medicine you took last time. If you want to give birth to a completely healthy child, I suggest you give up on this one now. Once you're healthy again, you can have another-"Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"No! Absolutely not!" Aurora immediately interrupted Hera before she could finish speaking. After ten years, her prayers for a child were finally answered. She was afraid that if she gave up on the baby now, she would never have a child again.

"Aren't you a miracle doctor? No matter what, you must help me keep my baby!"

Aurora kneeled on the bed while tugging at Hera's clothes, tearfully begging, "As long as you can help me keep the baby, I'll do anything you ask of me!"

Hera had been waiting for these words, so she asked right away, "Who ordered Queenie's murder?"

Aurora looked up, startled. "I don't know!"

Hera narrowed her eyes while staring at her. "Then, what do you know?"

Aurora's lips quivered. "I..."

"Think it through before you answer me." Hera rolled a silver needle between her fingertips.

"Your answer will impact my ability to reduce the remaining poison in your body that will affect your

baby. You don't want your baby to be born a cripple, right?"

The legitimate threat made Aurora gulp. As a daughter of the Killians, she had been pampered from a young age, and everything had to go her way. Anyone who dared to threaten her would be dead by now.

But she was helpless before Hera. Aurora had to give in for the sake of her baby.

She changed her position and lay flat on the bed before slowly saying, "I was the one who asked Queenie to keep Isabella and Madison hidden."

Hera maintained a blank expression as she used the alcohol pads to sterilize the silver needle between her fingers. She then placed it at the acupuncture point on Aurora's arm. "Why did you want to hide them away?"
