Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 455

Bernard said nothing, his eyes glued to Tiramisu.

Everly noticed this and began to blame herself. "It's all my fault for not taking care of it well. If Hera finds out, she'll definitely be very upset."

For the sake of Hera, Bernard was tolerating Everly standing this close to him. If she were any other woman, he would have told her off for standing within three feet of him.

He could no longer stand her coy behavior and coldly said, "If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

Everly timidly looked at his perfect side profile in silence, wondering how such a handsome man like Bernard would be so aloof.

Since it was rare for Hera to not be around, Everly could be alone with Bernard for a while. Thus, she did not wish to leave so soon.

Instead, she said, "I didn't take care of Tiramisu well, causing it to fall sick. Let me stay here for its treatment. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease even if I return home."

Bernard ignored her as Luther was ready with Tiramisu's test results. As it had diarrhea and was excessively stressed, it would require an infusion.

Tiramisu was unwilling to stay in its cage for an infusion, so Bernard gently held it while seated on the bench. He patted the back of its neck to calm it down before allowing Luther to start the infusion.

After starting the infusion, Bernard used WhatsApp and started recording a video of Tiramisu lying on his leg while receiving an infusion. He then forwarded the video to Hera, hoping to gain some recognition for his hard work.

But Hera was busy and did not respond. Meanwhile, Everly stood aside and noticed how Bernard treated Tiramisu better than he did toward her. She couldn't help but feel envious.

"Tiramisu, do you feel better now?" She squatted down and gently asked Tiramisu in concern, who was lying on Bernard's leg.

Tiramisu lazily cast her a glance before looking away. It shifted its position so it didn't have to look at her.

He had been dating Hera for some time, but she rarely told him about her past. Thus, he wished to know more about her history.

Seeing how Bernard did not object to her presence, Everly was secretly joyful and continued, "Later, she came up with an idea. She set up a trap in the mountains with some bait to lure the wild boar out. Afterward, Wayne and I chased the wild boar into the trap.

"The wild boar really for the trick. After it fell into the trap, Hera personally butchered it and completed her revenge successfully.

"In the end, Wayne and I dragged the wild boar back to the village and gave portions of it to the villagers. I remember it was Christmas back then, so it was quite a delicacy.

"Hera is truly very courageous and talented. I wouldn't even dare to do what she did since I'd get terrified upon seeing a wild boar.

"But she actually butchered it herself. Later, there was a period when we were going through some hard times. Whenever we couldn't afford meat, Hera and Wayne would go to the mountains to hunt wild boars for our meals."
