Geoffrey had been fine two days ago but couldn't move at all that day.
While Geoffrey had faith in Catherine's medical skills, Nicholas harbored a grudge against her after what happened to his mother.
As such, Nicholas sought Camille's help. She promised to treat Geoffrey on one condition—that it was agreed that she did not cause Geoffrey's condition and that they should pin the liability on Catherine instead.
Nicholas then used the company as leverage against Geoffrey, who had no choice but to play along with his son's act.
Hera frowned after taking Geoffrey's pulse.
"Has Camille Chime treated you before?"
"How did you know?"
Nicholas was shocked. He never told Hera about Camille.
Geoffrey looked at Nicholas questioningly.
"Didn't you tell her?"
"No!" Nicholas answered.
Both father and son turned their gaze to Hera.
"Did you look into our history?"
Hera was momentarily speechless before she explained, "I can tell from your condition."
Geoffrey's body was exhibiting signs of having undergone Camille's treatment. Camille's go-to treatment was using steroids to suppress the patient's symptoms with little to no regard for the side effects.
Geoffrey stared at Hera with admiration after she deciphered his medical history from a simple pulse reading. At this point, he wouldn't be surprised if she were a miracle doctor.
"Did she give you pills?" Hera asked.
"Did my pulse tell you that, too?"
Geoffrey looked even more impressed as he nodded.
"I only took those pills once. I stopped when I realized I felt even worse after taking them."
Hera narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed her guess was correct.
