Hera arrived in Jedburgh with Catherine and the Pierce siblings late that night, so they checked into a hotel first.
The next day, she called Leon to ask for help finding a rental near the courtyard house.
After hearing her request, Leon said, "I actually have a place near Jedburgh's suburbs. It's been empty for over a year. I'll send you the address and gate code. Check it out and see if it works for you."
"Okay," Hera replied.
She then casually asked, "Why do you have a place in Jedburgh?"
She remembered that Leon was from the south.
"Don't be jealous. Damian insisted I take it when he was pursuing me," Leon boasted, then teased, "You're already moving to Jedburgh. Didn't Mr. Killian find a place for you?"
"I'm not jealous at all. I received a courtyard house recently," Hera said.
Leon was speechless. He inwardly cursed. She didn't miss the chance to boast.
He asked, "Then why are you looking for a rental?"
"I'm planning to open a medical clinic in the courtyard house and need another place for my grandma and my friends to stay," Hera explained briefly.
At the mention of the clinic, Leon recalled the medicine Hera had given him last time.
"By the way, boss, the medicine you gave me really helped my godson. It greatly reduced his post-surgery rejection. His doctor was amazed and asked about the miracle doctor who made it."
"Oh," Hera responded nonchalantly.
She was used to such reactions.
"My godson's dad wanted to ask if you have a reward in mind," Leon said.
"Don't be shy. He's the head of the Hubbard family. You can ask for anything."
Hera found that title familiar. Wasn't he the one who had Shaun beaten by his grandfather?
When she had looked into Leon's godson's condition, she hadn't paid attention to the child's father.
"Just have him leave a good review and send patients my way when my clinic opens," Hera replied.
"Got it!" Leon agreed.
After hanging up, Hera took Catherine and the Pierce siblings for breakfast, then called a cab and headed to the address Leon had sent.
