Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 265

It was already 10:00 pm. Hera wondered if Nathan was still awake. So, instead of calling, she decided to send a text.

Hera: "Nate, I think Amelia might just be a scapegoat."

To her surprise, Nathan replied almost instantly.

Nathan: "Hera, you're awake? I suspected that, too. I just found a new lead. I'm on a mission right now, but I'll come see you when it's over. We need to talk in person. Get some rest."

Hera stared at the words "new lead" momentarily before reaching for her pocket, only to realize she was wearing a hospital gown.

"Who changed my clothes? Where are the ones I was wearing?" she asked, looking up.

"Bernard?"

Aaron looked puzzled. Bernard had brought her to the hospital, so he wasn't sure about the details. He glanced at Bernard.

"They've probably been thrown away, right?"

Hera's face flushed at the thought of Bernard changing her clothes. She wondered if that meant that he saw everything. She felt a mix of embarrassment and anger.

But she quickly shook it off. So what if he saw her? She figured that for Bernard, seeing a woman's body was likely as ordinary as it was for her to see another woman's body.

"It was the nurse who helped change you. The clothes were discarded," Bernard said, unaware of her inner turmoil.

As Johnson had just finished bandaging his wound, Bernard walked over and handed Hera a small bag from his pocket.

"Is this what you were looking for?"

Hera was speechless. She had been internally conflicted, only to be told it was the nurse who had changed her.

A hint of frustration crept in. She'd never been like this before, but ever since she ran into Bernard again, he had a way of stirring up her emotions.

She pondered if she was starting to fall for Bernard. The idea startled her.

She glanced at him. She wondered why, of all the people she could fall for, did it have to be a gay man.

Bernard noticed her sympathetic look and glanced at the small bag in his hand.

"Isn't this what you were looking for?"
