Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 112

Bernard held his phone in his left hand and flipped it in his palm as he contemplated the question.

Samson's face was a picture of confusion at this seemingly random inquiry. He wondered about its connection to Bernard giving the Eclipse Stone away.

Samson racked his brains but couldn't make sense of it. So, he discreetly pulled out his phone and quickly Googled the question.

He selected a response and tentatively said, "Maybe it means the girl likes the guy… and that she values the gifts he gives…"

"I think so, too," Bernard replied with a smirk.

It turned out that Hera was the anonymous miracle doctor he had been searching for all this time.

She also deliberately lied to him about not attending the auction. He wondered if she was planning to surprise him and if he should keep up the pretense.

Sensing something amiss, Samson observed Bernard's strange behavior.

Suddenly, the door burst open with a loud bang.

Johnson dashed in.

He panted and asked, "Where is Dr. Shadow?"

He idolized the miracle doctor.

When Samson saw him, he hurriedly pulled Johnson aside and whispered, "Dr. Shadow is gone. Quick! Check on Bernard. Is he alright?"

Then, he steered Johnson toward Bernard.

At that moment, Bernard was sitting on his throne with his legs crossed. Johnson saw Bernard leisurely sipping his red wine. He didn't look sick at all.

"Bernard, why—"

Bernard interrupted him, "Johnson, schedule a time for me to meet with Dr. Shadow."

Johnson hesitated. He realized Bernard wasn't talking about a formal meeting.

"Are you receiving treatment? Don't you have Ms. Hera?"

Johnson recalled their decision to forgo seeking out the miracle doctor upon meeting Hera. After securing the Eclipse Stone and entrusting it to Dr. Shadow, the sudden urgency for another meeting hinted at something more significant.

"Are you falling for someone else?"

Bernard took a sip of his wine.

"You single lads wouldn't understand."
