"Bernard, you're getting a little too jealous. At this rate, you should just get rid of all the men in the world," said Hera while poking his shoulder.
Bernard grabbed her hand as he stared deeply into her eyes. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Hera continued, "I promise I won't meet Tyler without telling you beforehand. I won't lie to you anymore, and I don't want you to lie to me either. Can you promise me that?"
Lovers shouldn't lie to each other.
"Okay," Bernard readily agreed.
"What are you thinking about?" Hera asked with a frown, noticing that he seemed to be absent-minded.
"What you said is reasonable," he simply stated.
Hera was flabbergasted. Did he really mean what he said?
Bernard clarified, "It's highly reasonable and effective if I can get rid of all the men in the world."
There was no describing how speechless Hera was.
When they got ready to head back home, Hera remembered that Wayne was still waiting for her. She was about to call him and tell him to head back with her and Bernard when the high-pitched siren of an ambulance filled the air.
The ambulance stopped in front of Nightless Haven, and some medical personnel got out of the vehicle.
They wasted no time pushing a wheeled stretcher into the bar. At that time, Hera was already calling Wayne, but he wasn't answering his phone.
After calling him twice, someone finally answered the call. However, the voice on the phone wasn't Wayne's. It was Nicholas who spoke instead.
He sounded a little frantic. "Hello? Hera? Where the heck are you?"
"What's wrong?" Hera asked, puzzled as to why it was Nicholas who answered the call. He sounded off, and she could hear the commotion through the phone.
She opened the car door and got out of the car, her gaze falling on the ambulance parked at the entrance of the bar.
"Wayne was found unconscious on the ground in the stairway. God knows if he's alive. The medical team just took him away."
