Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156 

That meant a miracle doctor must have cured Gino’s illness! 

“Yup! My older sister was the one who cured me!” Gino exclaimed confidently. 

He then shot Hera a proud look. “She’s here to treat your illness today!” 

Ever since Hera administered acupuncture to Gino in the school infirmary, he was pleased to find out that the bruises on his face had disappeared. Not only that, his rhinitis was also cuced once and for all 

That was why he had absolute faith in Hera’s medical skills. 

“Your “older sister, you say? 

Mildred acted as though she finally noticed Hera for the first time. She continued in a passive–aggressive tone, “Oh? It’s rare to see you here today” 

This was Hera’s firsttime visiting Mildred at the hospital since the latter got hospitalized. Mildred’s resentment toward Hera had been building up all this time. 

That was why she decided to ignore Hera right after Hera stepped into her ward. She merely wanted to act all high and mighty around Hera in order to teach her a lesson. 

However, Hera didn’t seem to care about Mildred’s demeanor. She dragged the only chair in the ward to the side and plopped down on it. With one leg crossed over the other, she began playing a game on her phone. 

Based on her demeanor, It was clour that Hera didn’t mind waiting for the other Evereits to wrap up their conversations. 

She was a girl of her word. It was due to the promise she had made to Lilith that she decided to drop by the ward. If not, she would never visit a nasty old woman like Mildred in the first place. 

Of course, Mildred was pissed off at the sight of Hera’s nonchalance. 

“What the hell is with that attitude of yours? I knew it Those who come from the countryside are extremely rude!” 

“Mom, don’t be like that. Hera came all the way here just to visit you. She’s also here to treat your illness, Lilith hurriedly explained. 

“Treat my illness? As if that country bumpkin and her useless remedies can do that! From the way I see it, she’s planning to pokon me with those remedies! Tell her to get lost right now! Just the sight of her makes my head throb!” Mildred shrieked angrily. 

After that, she glanced at the door. “Where’s Giselle? Why hasn’t she visited me after so long?” 

Gino was quite displeased with Mildred’s demeanor toward Hera, so he shot back, “Don’t you know what happened, Grandma? Gaselle made our family go bankrupt she has already returned to the countryside, where she actually belongs!” 

Dine! Lith wanted to cur Gino off, but she was too late. 

“What did you just say? When did that happen? Why didn’t anyone tell me about it? Mildred exclaimed in shock. 

She seemed to have thought of something, for she turned to glare at tilith with cloudy eyes. 

“Lith, what else have you been hiding from me?” 

“Mom, please don’t get mad. I was worried that the news might affect your recuperation, so I didn’t tell you anything,” Lilith quickly explained. 

The Everetts might have filed for bankruptcy, but thankfully, Gideon was still around to save the day 

His business, which was based in another country, was doing quite well. Thanks to that, he was able to clear most of the Everetts‘ debts using his profits. James would des with what was left of the pile. 

Gideon was also the one footing Mildred’s medical bills. This was the sole reason she could still stay in the VIP ward Otherwise, the hospital would’ve kicked her out a long tim 

Lilith was worried that news of the Everetts‘ bankruptcy would affect Mildred’s recovery rate, thas her decision to not tell Mildred anything 

As for Mildred, she wasn’t one who read the news or paid attention to the news channel on the television. She spent her days strolling around the hospital’s coatyard with a fellow patient from next door after mealtimes. In fact, her days at the hospital were as relaxing as her days at home. 

The moment Mildred heard about the Everetts bankruptcy, the first thing she thought was that her hourious life was gone. The emotional damage inflicted on her was even greater than the one she had sustained when she had received news of Hera cheating in her exams. 

Mikend could barely breathe afterward. Her eyes rolled backward before she collapsed back on her bed in a dead faint. 

“Mom? Mom!” Alarm washed over Lilith’s senses at that moment. She wasted no time in punching the emergency call button above the bedframe.
