"Hera, will you major in programming at your university?" Gideon asked.
It had been half a year since Hera received the letters of recommendation for two of the greatest universities in Jedburgh. However, she never mentioned which university she was going to attend or what she was going to major in.
Since she was learning programming at that moment, he instinctively thought that was what she was choosing. Bernard was curious as well as he looked at Hera.
"I haven't made up my mind yet," she said.
Previously, she kept focusing on getting revenge for Daphne and clearing Lucius' name. So, she never thought about what she wanted to major in. Instead, she just wanted an opportunity to go to Jedburgh.
However, too much had happened. She had a home again and a person she loved. That was when she realized that life wasn't just about revenge. She had to actually live her life and think about her future.
Bernard held her hand. "No matter what you choose to major in, I'll support you. It's fine if you don't want to study at all. I can provide for you."
When she heard that, she smiled and held his hand tight. Hera figured she had to start thinking about their future together.
"Why should you even study when you're already Dr. Shadow? Instead of wasting four years in school, you might as well use the time to expand your medical clinic," said Mildred.
Then, she started breaking it down for Hera. "With your capabilities and Bernard's investment, you can totally make it great right away.
"You can even surpass the Chimes and be at the top of the local medical industry! Then, the Everetts can finally hope to be part of the four influential families!
"So, do your best, Hera! I've already told all of my wealthy friends how great you are, so don't disappoint me!"
Hera was speechless, thinking that Mildred was overthinking it.
"Grandma, you shouldn't boast like that!" Gino said mockingly.
