Chapter 264 "Don't you remember what happened that night?" Aaron asked, surprised.

He glanced at Bernard and recalled his decisive move.

"Bernard is really ruthless. He even treated his own woman so harshly. Did he hit her so hard that she lost her memory?" he thought.

Bernard remained silent.

"What happened?" Hera followed Aaron's gaze to Bernard and noticed the bulge under his shirt sleeve. It looked like a bandage on his left arm. She frowned slightly.

Johnson saw Hera's confused reaction and realized she genuinely had no memory of that night.

Her symptoms seemed more severe than Bernard's past episodes. At least Bernard regained sfragmented memories after taking his medication. But Hera remembered nothing.

"Let's eat something first Weren't you hungry?" Bernard unpacked the thermos Aaron had brought, revealing a light, nutritious chicken soup.

Hera sensed something was off in their expressions. She instinctively knew that something else had happened while she was unconscious. However, she chose not to push further since they refused to discuss it She decided to fillher stomach first, as she hadn't eaten for days and was starving Hera reached out for the bowl in Bernard's hand, but he held it back, saying, "Since you're not feeling well, I'll feed you." Hera remained silent, refusing the idea.

Bernard scooped a spoonful of soup, blew on it gently, and brought it to Hera's lips.

"Here. Open wide." Hera hesitated.

Sensing ber hesitation, Bernard glanced between her lips and the spoon.

"Is the spoon too big? Should I find another way to feed you?" Hera was caught off guard. Her intuition screamed that Bernard's alternative method was something she didn't want to experience, so she quickly opened her mouth.

Barnard smiled.

"Great job." Aaron and Johnson watched their exchange in surprise and mentally noted Bernard's method.

Hera felt much better after filling her stomach. As Bernard finished the remaining soup, Johnson started changing the bandages on the former's arm on the adjacent hospital bed.

Hera glanced over and observed that the wound appeared to have been caused by a sharp blade.

Just then, she remembered the dagger she found in the cave and the bite mark on Bernard's collarbone from their trip back from Lumiville Her suspicions deepened. Something must have happened during her blackouts, but Bernard obviously wasn't going to reveal anything Thus, Hera decided she needed a thorough check-up once things settled down.

Turning to Aaron, she asked, "Are Nate and Stephen okay? And what about the kidnappers?" "They're fine. But the kidnappers confessed that Amelia was behind it. The police are searching for her now, Nathan is handling the case so that he has all the information," Aaron replied.

Hera narrowed her eyes at the mention of Amelia. That didn't seem right to her..

Although Hera hadn't interacted much with Amella, she had tested her once in the woodshed.

Amelia's shocked reaction made it clear that she didn't know the m specifics. Later when pressed, Amelia seemed eager to verify something and let in a hurry

Compared to Amelia, Queense seemed more suspect. She had been uncooperative throughout the NO investigation, and her reaction when asked about Isabella's family was far more teking than Ameha's surprise. "Where's my phone?' Hera asked, remembering that she hadn't had it since being held hostage in the woodshed.

She was about to ask Aaron to borrow his phone since she wasn't sure if hers was lost in the car or taken by the kidnappers.

"Here, Aaron and as he handed her phone from the table.

Itera also noticed a ptop and an acupuncture kit on the table-items she thought she'd lost She sighed bet Losing the phone and computer was one thang, but she would have been very ry upset if she had lost the gold needles Bernard had given her

she turned on her plinue to see ten missed calls and over 99 unreadn Whatmessages, noting them for now, she searched for Nathan's number. RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
