Under the Heiress' Facade
Chapter 343

Poppy fruit could be used as medicine. Its juice had anesthetic, analgesic, hypnotic, and antispasmodic effects, but excessive use could lead to addiction. It was the main element in opium production.

Camille was so bold to use such a harmful substance in such large quantities. She even asked Mary to eat it for a week. She was causing more harm than good to her patient!

Was this how she treated patients under the name Dr. Shadow?

Hera was angry. Her bottom line was to save people and not harm them.

"What's wrong with this medicine?"

Ralph noticed Hera's expression change and focused on the pills in her hand.

She returned to her senses and put the pills back into the bottle. "It's nothing. I'll take this away. Don't take medicine randomly in the future."

Mary also noticed Hera's anger. She realized something but didn't say a word. Instead, she showed a cheerful smile. "I won't take anything else from here on out. I'll only take the medicine you prescribe."

After she finished speaking, she turned to Ralph and said seriously, "I heard that you made things difficult for Hera when I was in a coma. Apologize to her. Also, pay her the medical bills."

Ralph was straightforward and immediately apologized to Hera, "I apologize for the offense, Ms. Youngworth. You're my mother's great savior. If you face any difficulties in the future, you can come to me—"

"Stop talking nonsense and come up with something practical! Just give her a few million!" Mary interrupted him.

Hera had mentioned that she was short of money, so this sum of money should be enough to satisfy her.

Hera and Ralph were quite speechless.

"Mom, don't be so vulgar." After saying that, Ralph took a check from his assistant and handed it to Hera. "Here is our sincerity, Ms. Youngworth. Please accept it."

Hera looked at the check, which was worth 30 million. She felt satisfied and accepted it with ease.

"I'll deliver the rest of the medicine when the time comes," she said.

"Thank you, Ms. Youngworth," Ralph responded.

Afterward, he asked the maid to bring breakfast. Hera stayed in Mary's room, chatting and having breakfast with her.

Mary was kind and reminded Hera of Catherine.

Catherine hadn't taken the initiative to contact Hera since she took Giselle back to the village.

Although Hera occasionally called

her, they never talked much.

Catherine always claimed she

busy and would hang up the call shortly.

After finishing breakfast, Mary sighed heavily.

"What's wrong, Mrs. Ludden Senior?" Hera asked.

Mary looked at Hera and sighed again. "It's a pity that Chris likes men. Otherwise, you might become my granddaughter-in-law." Hera said helplessly, "I already have a boyfriend."

"You have a boyfriend?" Mary was shocked and asked, "Who is he? Is he good to you? Does he have. money? If not, break up with him. If Chris is out of the question, you may consider Aaron."

Hera remained silent for a moment before gently stating the name, "It's Bernard Killian."

The sound of a vase falling on the floor behind the screen interrupted their conversation.

Pansy immediately went out. She then saw the person outside the screen and exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Christopher, Mr. Everett!"

Christopher had brought Gideon in

and they happened to overhear the

conversation. As he was too

stunned, he accidentally knocked over the vase on the side.
