Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 139

Liam and the doctors were puzzled at the mention of Mrs. Killian. They wondered when Bernard had gotten married. The young lady looked barely of age.

Although their curiosity peaked, the doctors silently stared at Aaron, keeping their thoughts to themselves.

…

Outside the window, darkness gradually gave way to the breaking dawn, marking the end of the heart-wrenching wait.

In the operating room, Hera's forehead glistened with sweat as she deftly removed the bullet with the forceps in her left hand.

The sound of the bullet hitting the metal tray echoed through the otherwise quiet operating room, drowned out only by the hum of machinery.

Johnson's eyes lit up with overwhelming joy.

They had succeeded! Judging by the vital signs monitor readings, Bernard's condition had been resolved without any complications.

While he and other seasoned doctors had spent hours deliberating over a viable surgical plan, Hera had effortlessly completed the surgery after a quick examination of the CT scans and Bernard's pulse.

He found her to be truly remarkable.

Johnson suddenly recalled Bernard's search for Dr. Shadow. It seemed they no longer needed Dr. Shadow now that they had Hera.

"Stitch him up," Hera instructed Johnson.

As Johnson closed the wound with sutures, she applied a few more acupuncture needles to Bernard.

With the surgery now concluded, Johnson moved to open the operating room door while Hera removed her gloves and gently brushed her fingers against Bernard's cheeks. She let out a sigh of relief.
