Chapter 140 Chapterido Staring at those shiny bald heads kneeling before her, Hera turned to Aaron and asked calmly, "What's going on?" She wondered why they suddenly started addressing her as Mrs. Killian after the surgery.

Aaron hadn't expected the usually serious doctors to turn so sycophantie suddenly. He couldn't help but wonder where those doctors who had doubted Hera had disappeared to The doctors lifted their heads and glanced at Aaron, seemingly questioning whether Hera was indeed Mrs. Killian Ignoring their curious stares, Aaron reassured himself that Hera would eventually becMrs. Killian anyway, so he wasn't exactly lying "They're simply in awe of your extraordinary medical skills. They wondered if you could cure their balding issues," Aaron replied to Hera's question with a fabricated reason The doctors were taken aback by Aaron's statement. While not offensive, it was undeniably humiliating After a long night of surgery, Hera's face showed signs of exhaustion as she finally relaxed. Nevertheless, she instructed Johnson to take Bemard to the ward while she fetched her acupuncture lit "We certainly can't have doctors roaming around with shiny bald heads.

With reddened eyes, he clutched a dagger tightly, thrusting it at them relentlessly until they retreated in fear. Discarding the dagger, he fled However, no matter how tast he can and where he went, he found only endless darkness, as if he were trapped alone in this world.

As fear, isolation, helplessness, and despair crept into his heart, pushing him to the verge of collapse, he suddenly heard a familiar yet cold temale voice.

He dashed toward the voice until he glimpsed a glimmer of light ahead.

When Bernard opened his eyes, his gaze found the face he had longed for.

Upon seeing him awake, Hera's eyelashes fluttered as she gazed at him with lowered eyes, a hint of joy flashing across them.
