Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 317

"If I said I'm just here to treat you, would you believe me?"

Hera looked at the handsome face that was right in front of her, hearing the sound of a heart thumping loudly. She couldn't tell whether it was coming from her or Bernard.

His hot breath tickled her face as if it would melt her.

"I wouldn't." Bernard's maic voice was a little hoarse, sending shivers up her spine.

Hera was speechless. Gideon really did a number on her this time! She would never be able to explain herself. The more she tried to explain, the more it would look like she was trying to cover up, so she gave up.

Bernard also didn't probe further. He just went to shower.

After 20 minutes, the sound of running water stopped, and the door to the bathroom opened. Bernard was wearing a loose, white bathrobe and came out emanating cold air.

Hera could feel the cool air on him. She realized that he had been showering for 20 minutes with cold water.

She didn't dare to push his limits any further, so she said, "Let's stop messing around. Blow dry your hair and lie on the bed. I'll administer acupuncture on you."

However, he didn't move.

Hera raised an eyebrow. "You don't want the treatment anymore?" She

"Take this medicine first." Hera handed him a glass of warm water and a black pill.

Bernard didn't ask any questions. He took the pill from her hand and swallowed it.

Hera teased, "Aren't you worried that I'm feeding you poison?"

"No. If I die by your hands, it'll be worth it," Bernard replied.

Hera clicked her tongue and retorted, "How cringe."

Since Bernard didn't ask anything, Hera didn't need to explain either The pill was made mainly using the Eclipse Stone. If she were to explain further, she would be exposing a lot of information about herself.

After swallowing the pill, Bernard felt a warmth in his belly. Then, he felt a wave of drowsiness crash over him.

"How long will the treatment take?" He lay down on the bed and began sending messages on his phone.

"I'll take half an hour to administer acupuncture. After that, you should fall into a deep sleep. As for when you will wake up, it depends on your body and mind's recovery. I estimate it to be around 12 to 42 hours.

"During this time, you can't be disturbed. I suggest you put your phone on silent mode or turn it off."
