Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 430

Bernard held Hera's hand and moved her so that she would be sitting on top of his lap. Then, he hugged her tightly from behind.

The sudden intimacy caused Hera to find him strange. She turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I miss you," Bernard said as he snuggled his head into the crook of her neck.

Hera felt slightly ticklish by his actions and raised her hand to stop his moving head. "Have you settled last night's incident?"

"Yes. It was the younger brother of one of the drug rings I destroyed. The brother wanted to avenge me, so he hired that group of attackers. He's already been caught," Bernard explained.

To avoid causing panic, he did not mention the presence of the sniper. Instead, he had arranged for his people to protect her in secret.

"Who did you visit in the hospital?" Bernard asked.

"Your eldest niece, Aurora. Her baby is developing abnormally, so she asked me to save her baby," Hera said as she lowered her gaze.

Bernard asked in confusion, "How do you know how to protect a baby?"

"Well, my grandmother and I used to help the people in our village care for and deliver the babies of their livestock. After seeing it repeatedly, I got the hang of it."

Hera explained it easily, but she did put in a lot of effort to study the entire process.

Bernard's lips twitched. "I don't think livestock and humans are the same thing."

Why did he feel like Aurora wasn't the one who had asked Hera for help? But instead, Hera had gone there to set up a trap for Aurora.

"It's more or less the same. We also helped deliver babies. Sometimes, we would help a cow deliver its cattle before rushing to our neighbor's house to help our neighbor's pregnant wife give birth to her child," Hera said.

Bernard was speechless. Was that how Hera had lived her life in the past?

Douglas was also speechless. He wondered what expression Aurora would make if she knew Hera was comparing her to livestock.

"Will you be visiting the Killian residence frequently?" Bernard asked suddenly.

"Yes."
