"Isn't a million dollars supposed to be chump change for you, Mr. Killian?"
Right from the start, Damian felt that Bernard looked quite familiar. Now, he finally recalled the latter's identity.
Bernard was the seventh son of the Killian family. He was Albert's favorite son.
Unfortunately, his status as a bastard child was an eyesore to Chad, the current head of the Killian family, after Albert's passing. Hence, he was dumped to the military army for training.
Then again, the amount of stocks Bernard possessed was second to Chad's, making him a rather important figure in the Killian family.
"Don't think you'll get a freebie just because you know my name. There's no such thing as a free treatment," Bernard said coldly.
Both Hera and Leon fell silent at the weird conversation.
"Don't worry. I won't take advantage of you." Damian picked up his phone and transferred two million dollars to Bernard's account. "Here's a million dollars for the diagnosis, and another million dollars for the treatment."
Damian could clearly feel that his stomach didn't hurt anymore. The relief came a lot faster than the times he got treated with injections and pills.
Once again, Hera and Leon were flabbergasted by how things were progressing.
Bernard put away his phone while maintaining a cold expression. Then, he turned to leave.
Meanwhile, Hera had Leon pass her a pen and a piece of paper so that she could scribble a list for Damian.
"Get the medicinal ingredients on this list and brew them into a concoction. Take it three times per day for one week straight."
After that, Hera packed up her kit and went after Bernard, who had already walked a considerable distance at that time.
Didn't he claim that his leg hurt? How was he able to walk that quickly?
Was he mad at her?
Hera couldn't really understand why Bernard was angry at her. She followed him all the way to the beach, where he stopped in his tracks. Finally, she was able to join him by his side.
"Is your leg not hurting anymore?"
Since Hera took such a long time to catch up to him, Bernard felt that she didn't care much about him.
"It hurts."
"In that case, why did you walk so quickly?"
Bernard didn't want to respond to Hera anymore. Instead, he took his shirt off and tossed it to the ground, followed by his phone. Finally, he passed the camera to Hera.
"Take some photos of me."
