Samantha couldn't stand it and said, "How can you say something like that? You should just shut up if you have nothing better to say! No one would think you're mute if you keep quiet!"
Shaun had not come back last night, and there wasn't any news from him in the morning, so she was worried sick. Hera reached out to hold Samantha's shoulders and gave her a reassuring hug.
Samantha turned to sneer at Nicholas before lying her head on Hera's shoulders. Nicholas was flabbergasted.
Hera asked, "Were they your people?"
"That's right. The leader of that SWAT team is one of my good friends. They wouldn't have come so quickly if I hadn't called them!" Nicholas said proudly.
"Were the people on the helicopter also yours?" Hera asked.
"What helicopter?" Nicholas asked instead.
He didn't see any helicopters last night. He only saw about ten police cars. Was she suggesting that someone else had gotten help faster than him?
"It's nothing. Thank you," Hera answered.
If the helicopter had nothing to do with the SWAT team, then there was a high chance that the helicopter was the help Bernard had sent. But what on earth was his position within Astral Nova that allowed him to mobilize their people so quickly?
Suddenly, Hera felt like she had uncovered one of Bernard's biggest secrets!
"Just a thank you? How can you be so insincere?" Nicholas said with disdain.
Hera also felt that she wasn't being sincere enough, so she flipped through her bag to look for her acupuncture kit. Then, she climbed past the middle row to the last row.
Nicholas immediately had a bad feeling when he saw her acupuncture kit. He shrank back into his seat and looked at her vigilantly.
