Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 158

Alan's forte lay within internal medicine, so he didn't know much about acupuncture. As he looked at the points where the needles were inserted, he felt that Hera had pinpointed every needle correctly. Hence, he began to wonder about Hera's identity.

"Ouch! It hurts so much! She woke me up, you say? Well, she certainly did that by stabbing me!"

Mildred shoved Lilith away before plucking a needle out of her body.

Hera didn't say anything, nor did she stop Mildred.

"Oh, my God! Dr. Pittson, please give me a check-up right now! I feel so dizzy, and my heart palpitations are above the charts! Is that brat planning to kill me with her needles?" Mildred moaned in pain.

When Alan heard Mildred's laments, all speculations about Hera's medical skills vanished immediately.

To him, saving Mildred's life took priority.

He yanked his wrist from Hera's grip forcefully before removing all of the needles from Mildred's body. In fact, he worked so fast that Lilith only managed to regain her senses a while later. By then, it was already too late for her to stop the doctor.

"Hera, will your grandma be alright?" Lilith gazed at Hera worriedly.

Hera hated it the most whenever her patients refused to cooperate with the treatment process. She put her silver needles away before snapping coldly, "She's doomed. You'd better start making arrangements for her funeral soon."

"Huh?" Lilith was so frightened that her hands began trembling. "Is… Is she really doomed?"

Hera fell silent at the question.

She was just cracking a joke. Why did Lilith take her seriously?

Then again, it was true that Mildred wouldn't be able to live for long if things were to go on like this.

"She'll be a goner sooner or later," Hera explained.

"Just listen to that brat, Dr. Pittson! She's clearly here to murder me! That's murder, you know! Hurry up and perform a full body check-up on me! I need you to check whether or not she's poisoned me!"

Alan was worried that Mildred's life was in danger, so he and the head nurse quickly moved Mildred from the hospital bed to a nearby wheelchair. Then, they wheeled her to another room so that they could perform a complete body check-up on her.

Before they left, Alan instructed the security guards to watch Hera.

"Don't let her leave! If anything happens to the patient, she'll have to be held responsible!"

After that, he said to Lilith, "You're the patient's family member, so you must come along as well!"
