Hera took the black plastic bag, and she could feel a square-ish box inside it. Did Gideon specifically go to the drugstore to buy this thing? Hera was speechless.
"Gideon, you must be misunderstanding something. I'm just here to treat his illness." Hera pushed the plastic bag back to him.
"Really?" Gideon was still doubtful. "Then why didn't you say so? You could still treat him at home. There's no need to go to a hotel."
This was just great. Now, they would be together by themselves in one room…
He trusted Hera, but he still had some reservations about Bernard.
Hera repeated what he said, "Our humble abode is too lowly for the likes of the noble Mr. Killian."
Gideon gave her a look. "You're making me look stupid here."
Hera chuckled. "Grandma is being generous for once. We should take advantage of it while we can."
Although she said that, the Everett residence wasn't a good place to treat Bernard's illness. He had always hidden the truth about his illness. Also, he shouldn't be disturbed while he was undergoing treatment.
The best solution was to return to Skyview Heights, but there was a water bed in the presidential suite in the penthouse at the Imperial Hotel. That was good for his treatment.
Gideon was taken aback. Why did he feel as if Hera was being led astray by Bernard?
"About the contracts, you should consider them carefully with Dad before signing them. You don't need to be troubled about it because of me," Hera continued.
