Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 682

In Flowera, Bernard had just laid down on his hospital bed. As he was about to put his phone away, he saw the text from Sable and immediately sat up again.

Sage and Felix were startled by this.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"Is something wrong, Mr. Killian?" Felix asked.

Bernard didn't respond. Instead, he made a phone call right away. "Find Hera's location immediately!"

Seeing this, the two guessed what might be going on.

"Bernard, calm down. You're too controlling," Sage comforted him.

Bernard had known Sage since he was young and had always treated him with respect. He listened closely. "But she hasn't responded to my messages for 28 hours and has blocked my contact information!"

This made him very anxious. She hadn't blocked him during their last breakup, but now, she had removed all ways for him to contact her.

Sage had heard about the situation between Bernard and Hera from Felix. He reassured Bernard, "You need to give her some space. Whether you're lovers or married, both of you still need private time. She'll feel exhausted if you're too controlling and will only want to distance herself from you.

"Especially now that Ms. Youngworth is still angry with you. She's not contacting you because she wants you to focus on your treatment. You should rest properly. Try not to think about her from now on and think about other things to distract yourself."

Bernard fell silent, recalling Hera's angry words from before. "I'm a person! Not your property..."

He also recalled how she had stayed with him all night despite her anger. Bernard realized Hera cared for him and wanted him to focus on his treatment. However, he kept doing things that upset her.

Bernard reflected on himself and nodded. "You're right."

Felix sighed in relief. He thought Bernard would now cooperate with the treatment when Bernard chimed in, "I'll think about her in half an hour. I'll find her if she doesn't contact me in 48 hours."

Both Sage and Felix fought the urge to roll their eyes.

In Southburrow, Stephen took Hera to a famous restaurant.

In the private room, Stephen finished ordering and poured a glass of water for Hera. "Why did you suddenly come to Southburrow?"

"Thank you." Hera took a sip of water. She furrowed her brows, pretending to hesitate.

Stephen had always seen Hera as someone decisive, aloof, and unattainable. Seeing her like this aroused his protective instincts.

"Did you run into some trouble? Tell me, and I'll help you," he promised.

Hera nodded, pretending to hesitate. "Stephen, do you remember the recording in Madison's memory card?"

Stephen froze. He only came back to his senses when the glass he was pouring water into overflowed. He quickly wiped the spilled water with a napkin and tried to act nonchalant. "I remember. What about it?"
