Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 129

Hera stayed silent, considering if the bead bracelet counted as a gift.

However, since Gideon had asked for it, she would check if there were any left.

"Here, Hera, have some tea," Andrew said as he prepared tea and poured her a cup.

"Thank you," Hera said as she took a sip of it.

"If it's about joining the Everett Group, then let's not talk about it."

"It's not. I noticed your proficiency in acupuncture. Would you like to consider using your skills toearn money? I have a friend who is looking for alternative medicine practitioners," Andrewsuggested.

Having owed Hera a favor from his time teaching in the mountains and another due to Christopher,Andrew wanted to repay her kindness and perhaps recruit her into the influential circle of theLudden family.

When the news of the Everett family's bankruptcy broke, he swiftly contacted Hera to offer hisassistance via WhatsApp. However, she coldly rebuffed his request.

After being rejected, he regretted his impulsive actions. Knowing Hera's character, he realized shewouldn't accept a favor without a valid reason.

"I'm not interested in minor ailments. They're not challenging enough. But I might consider difficultand complex cases," Hera replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Andrew couldn't help but admire her even more. He felt that her medical skillsmust be profound to instill such confidence in her.

"My mother has had rheumatism for decades. She can't get out of bed lately. Could you take a lookat her?" he asked.

Hera glanced at him indifferently as if suspecting that his initial suggestion was merely an excuseand this was his true intention. However, considering that he had helped with Gino's matter in theschool clinic earlier, she nodded in agreement.

…

At Pineview Hospital, Amelia sat by Lennon's bedside. At that moment, Queenie entered the room.

"Is he awake?" she asked.

Amelia shook her head.

"Not yet."

Since Camille left last time, Lennon had fallen into a deep sleep and hadn't woken up since.

During this period, she delicately inquired of Camille why he hadn't awakened yet. However, Camillesimply reassured her, urging her not to fret, and then proceeded to attend to other matters.

Seeing how busy she was, Amelia felt embarrassed to ask further. After all, she was the one askingfor favors.

"It's been so many days, and you still haven't contacted Camille to come and see him!" Queeniescolded angrily.

"Camille has been very busy lately..."

"How busy can she be even to schedule an appointment?" Queenie snapped.

Since the incident with Raven last time, she had been looking at Amelia with disdain.

She wondered why others' daughters were outstanding and perfect while hers seemed useless.

Amelia tried to explain, but she gave up when she thought about how inferior she was to her brotherand Camille in Queenie's eyes. Then, she turned around and left the ward with her phone in hand.

Just as she was about to call Camille, she happened to see Camille chatting and laughing with anelegant lady.

"Camille!"

Amelia immediately greeted her.

Camille noticed her and nodded with a smile.

"Amy."

"Camille, my grandfather still hasn't woken up. Could you please look at him again?" Amelia heldCamille's hand and pleaded.

As Camille glanced at the hospital room door behind her, her gaze momentarily drifted. However,she quickly refocused and smiled kindly.

"Of course. Just wait a moment. Let me finish up with Mrs. Ludwig's family first, then I'll come replaceyou."

"Thank you."

Amelia nodded gratefully.

"Ms. Chime, you truly live up to your reputation as a miracle doctor with your compassion and skill,"the elegant lady complimented.

Camille smiled and accompanied her to another hospital room.

An hour later, Camille arrived at Lennon's hospital room.

She frowned at the vegetative old man in the hospital bed, unable to figure out where the problemlay.

But she decided to try that method at the sight of Queenie and Amelia's expectant looks.
