Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 155

"You should eat up. After breakfast, make sure to take your meds. I'll try to be back as soon as I can," Hera said, albeit helplessly.

Only then did Bernard slowly sit up on his bed. His dark eyes were still fixed on her face.

"It hurts. Feed me…"

Hera shot a glance at the laptop, which was sitting on the nightstand. She reminded Bernard, "Mr. Killian, you injured your leg, not your hands."

"My leg hurts so much that my hands have gone weak from the pain. If you don't feed me, I won't eat anything."

Bernard moved to lie back down as he spoke.

Hera was speechless once again. She could tell that Bernard was pretending to be in pain just to gain her sympathy.

As Hera remained unmoved, Bernard added, "It's not like I'm going to die of starvation just by skipping one meal…"

Hera remained silent the whole time.

She glanced at the time, knowing that if she were to continue wasting her time on Bernard, she wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon. Hence, she picked up the bowl and started feeding him spoonfuls of consommé.

Bernard spent 40 minutes eating his breakfast by dilly-dallying a lot.

Before Hera left, Bernard said to her, "I've already arranged a car for you. The driver's waiting for you in the foyer right now. He'll be in charge of driving you everywhere today. Come back soon, okay? I'll wait for you at home."

Hera fell silent at his words. She had a feeling that she was stuck with a man-child instead of a husband.

…

Hera and Lilith met up at the entrance of Pineview Hospital. Gino had tagged along as well.

When Gino saw Hera, he immediately plastered a resentful expression on his face.

"Why did you leave without me yesterday? You didn't even go home as well! I even bought you a cake just to celebrate your birthday with you, you know!"

Having spotted Gino's miffed expression, Hera fished out two pieces of chocolate from her pocket and passed them to him.
