"Where are you going?" Bernard asked when he saw Hera anxiously coming out with her bag.
"I'm heading to the Killian residence," she said. Then, she told him about Aurora.
"I'll go back with you." After he said that, he entered the office and grabbed his laptop. Then, he drove them back to the Killian residence from Norburgh.
Hera felt frustrated in the car. Since something happened to Aurora out of the blue, it meant someone was doing something in the dark to make sure she couldn't keep the child.
She hoped nothing would happen to Aurora's child. It wasn't because she cared about Aurora. Instead, if Aurora had a miscarriage, then Hera would lose a person she could use.
After two and a half hours, Bernard's car reached the entrance of the Killian residence. Then, his phone started ringing.
It was an unregistered number, but Hera could tell from a glance that it was Everly's number. She didn't recall ever giving Everly his contact information.
Bernard glanced at the number and didn't know who it was. After answering the call, he could hear Everly's anxious voice. "Hello? Is this Mr. Killian?"
He passed the phone to Hera right away. "Sweetie, please help me take this call while I drive."
After she grabbed the phone, she put the call on loudspeaker and asked, "What's up?"
