Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 361

Wayne earned a living by helping villagers with transportation using an old truck, and he had selflessly financed Everly's education.

Wayne and Everly lived modestly, so Hera was deeply moved when they offered their hard-earned savings.

She gently rejected the money.

"Thank you, but there's no need. Don't worry about the money. I can handle it. You two should head back and rest."

They both knew about Hera being taken away by wealthy city dwellers last year. But five million dollars was beyond their grasp. They couldn't fathom a family wealthy enough to casually come up with such a sum.

However, Hera was so resolute that Wayne had no choice but to pocket the money again.

After a sleepless night at the hospital and a morning of borrowing money, Wayne decided to return home to rest, while Everly insisted on staying to help.

Everly and Hera were of the same age. Everly had studied medicine with Catherine since childhood. Although less adept in medical skills, she excelled in preparing medicinal meals.

After Hera administered acupuncture to Catherine to disperse the blood clot, she prescribed an herbal formula and sent Everly to the pharmacy to purchase the necessary herbs.

Afterward, Everly borrowed the kitchen to brew the medicine.

By evening, Catherine woke up, looking much better after drinking the herbal concoction Hera had prescribed.

However, Hera was still worried and insisted Catherine stay in the hospital for observation another day before allowing her to return home the following day.

Early the next morning, Wayne drove over to pick them up.

Upon arriving home, Catherine asked before Hera could exit the vehicle, "Wayne, could you take Hera to the airport?"

The deadline set by loan sharks was that day, and Catherine didn't want Hera involved in this matter.

Those loan sharks were clearly sent by someone, and their true aim was not money but Catherine's life.

Hera's face immediately fell when she understood Catherine's intention.

But Wayne was oblivious to their tense exchange.

"Oh? Is it that urgent? Can't we have lunch together before you go?"

"Yeah, it's New Year's. Let's have a meal together. I'll start cooking now," Everly chimed in.
