"It's impossible." The moment Wayne said that, he suddenly remembered Michael Thornton's face pierced with silver needles everywhere. The sheer number of them made him feel terribly uncomfortable.
Wayne vaguely recalled that Michael had a nosebleed as a result of the extremely hot weather and went to Catherine's house early in the morning. Hera pierced many needles on his face for disturbing her sleep.
Wayne couldn't help but shudder and reminded Douglas, "Be careful when you go in later. Mr. Killian has given orders that any noise made cannot be above 30 decibels. Otherwise, you'll be kicked out."
Douglas was shocked. Bernard was asking for too much, and it was only early in the morning.
By noon, Bernard finished all the work required for the morning and entered the kitchen to prepare lunch. Seeing how Hera was still asleep, he took off his apron and entered the bedroom.
As he watched her deep in slumber, he was slightly reluctant to wake her up, but she couldn't not eat. He sat by the bedside and lightly kissed her eyelids first. Once he saw her stir from her sleep, he whispered in her ear, "Sweetie, it's time to wake up."
Hera was fast asleep. When she was rudely awakened, she irritably grabbed the nearby pillow and threw it at him.
"Get lost!" Her voice was extremely hoarse.
Bernard caught the pillow and set it aside. "Be good. Get up and have something before you go back to sleep. You've already skipped breakfast, so you can't skip lunch. Otherwise, it won't be good for your stomach."
He kissed her forehead while saying, "Let me help you up, okay?"
"Stop bothering me!" Hera wanted to push his face away. But throwing the pillow earlier seemed to have drained all her energy. She found it difficult to even raise her arm now, and her hand fell limply against Bernard's face.
