Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 136

"I'm sure Dr. Shadow can cure Mary's rheumatoid arthritis, so just stay out of it," Jane said confidently.

Hera remained silent, her attention drawn to her phone buzzing in her pocket. Glancing at it, she saw it was from Bernard. Stepping aside to answer the call, Aaron's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ms. Youngworth, Bernard is in trouble. He's badly injured, and I'm afraid he might not make it. Where are you?"

Hera's mind went blank, her breath catching in her throat.

"Ms. Youngworth? Are you there?" Aaron's voice pulled Hera back to reality.

Shaking off the shock, she replied, "Pick me up at the Ludden residence."

With that, she ended the call and turned to Andrew.

"Something's come up. I have to go."

"Are you alright, Hera?"

Andrew's concern was evident in his voice as he noticed her pale expression. But before he could inquire further, Hera had already left in a hurry.

"Christopher, please see her off," Andrew immediately instructed.

Christopher nodded and ran after Hera.

"Andrew, make sure to get a more professional doctor next time," Jane remarked with a chuckle.

"Just look at how quickly she ran when I mentioned Dr. Shadow."

"I believe something urgent must have come up. Otherwise, she wouldn't have left so abruptly," Andrew replied with a serious expression before walking away.

"That doesn't change the fact she ran away!" Jane scoffed, returning to Mary's room.

"What's the matter, Mrs. Ludden?" Camille asked, emerging from the room.
