Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 706

"Do you feel unwell, Hera?" Lilith asked anxiously. "Do you want some water?"

Hera shook her head before looking at Johnson. Her lips parted as she hoarsely called out with difficulty, "Bernard."

Her voice was too hoarse, making it hard to hear what she said. But Gideon and Johnson could tell what she said by reading her lips.

Seeing that Bernard was the first person Hera looked for after waking up, Gideon finally understood that she truly loved Bernard.

In the past, Gideon had some reservations about Bernard, who was like an old man creeping on Hera. By now, Gideon had come to terms with it.

He took out his phone and sent Bernard a text. "If you dare to bully my little sister in the future, I'll beat you up no matter what!"

"Don't worry. Bernard's fine. He stayed by your side for three days. The police needed his cooperation with the investigation in the morning, so he went to the station," Gideon explained.

Hera sighed in relief the moment she learned that Bernard was fine. While she was in a coma, her dreams were all about the intense countdown of the bomb that was about to explode.

Hera did not want to die. She still wanted to clear Lucius' name, and she didn't want Bernard to die along with her.

However, Hera began to feel anxious again when she heard that the police were in the middle of their investigation. She struggled to get up.

It took all her efforts to implicate Linda, who must have known why Lucius ended up in prison after being framed for the crime.

Hera did not want Bernard to handle this matter. She was afraid that he would kill whoever was responsible, just as he had done before.

"What is it, Hera? Is something the matter? Be careful. Don't get injured," Lilith hurriedly said.

"Don't worry. Bernard asked me to show you this interrogation footage if you have questions about Ms. Linda after waking up," Johnson explained before handing her a tablet. "You're too weak now, so you need more rest. Stop moving around."

Hera suspiciously reached for the tablet. Seeing this made Gino take his earphones from his bag and pass them to her.

"The confidentiality agreement for the surgery involves Party A, Linda Atkins, and Party B, Philip Chime."

Linda was shocked. How could the pre-surgery records be here? Didn't Philip guarantee these records would never see the light of day?

While Linda was still in shock, Nathan smoothly took out a signed contract and waved it at Linda. "This is the surgery agreement with the Chime family. You were reading this out back then, weren't you?"

Linda's eyes widened, her gaze fixed on the contract in his hand. Even the contract was here.

The entire Chime family was indeed not reliable.

"No matter what you've done, a trace will always be left behind." Since Linda did not say a word, Nathan continued, "Stephen Hall has already confessed to everything and even mentioned you. It's best if you tell us exactly what happened. I'll even try my best to help you get your sentences reduced.

"Otherwise, the law will deal with you accordingly once the forensic department has determined whether you have any surgical scars on your vocal cords."
