NovelBarDouglas saw that Bernard's face had been pricked with two rows of sharp needles. Gold needles protruded from M-HN-3 and GV-26, making him look extremely comical.
"Bernard, do you feel unwell?" Douglas held back his laughter while asking.
"No," Bernard replied.
"Then..." Douglas pointed at the gold needles on his face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Hera did this to me." Of course, Douglas knew that Hera was responsible for that. Aside from her, no one else would dare to stick needles on Bernard's face. He wondered whether he had looked into the mirror and seen how comical he looked. Although Douglas did not learn medicine, he still had sknowledge of acupuncture points on the human body. Hera wasn't even doing acupuncture at all. She was clearly punishing Bernard.
It was hard to believe that the typically aloof Hera would do such childish things in private. Yet, Bernard just let her do as she pleased.
"Don't they hurt?" Douglas couldn't help but ask. It hurt him just seeing those needles.
Bernard answered, "They do." "Then, why don't you take them out?" Douglas asked.
"Hera will be angry if I do that." Douglas was speechless at how Bernard just let Hera have her way. He didn't even let anyone disturb her sleep, yet he allowed her to do whatever she wanted. Hera would becuncontrollable one day, thanks to how Bernard spoiled her. Bernard checked the contract Douglas had brought along. Once certain everything was correct, he signed it. Then, he picked up the mop from the side and continued mopping the floor.
Meanwhile, Hera leaned against the headboard while cuddling with Tiramisu. Having overheard the conversation, she couldn't help but smile.
As Everly stood at the living room entrance, she becrather upset upon overhearing their conversation. To her, Hera had gone overboard.
Bernard was such a distinguished man. How could he be left to do all these heavy chores and even have his face pierced with needles? Hera was clearly abusing him on account of his adoration of her.
If it were Everly...
"Oh my, Bernie! How could Hera do this to you?" Everly went up to Bernard. "It must hurt since these gold needles weren't positioned in the right acupuncture points. Lettake them out for you." "Get lost!" Bernard avoided her with disgust. He entered the bedroom and continued to mop.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEverly was slightly indignant, but a voice deep inside her seemed to whisper that as long as she showed Bernard that she was more considerate than Hera, he would eventually fall for her one day. "Bernie, it's a woman's job to tidy up a room. You can set the mop aside and lethandle it." Everly hurried into the room.
Although she saw Hera leaning against the headboard while comfortably snuggling with Tiramisu, she did not feel awkward. After all, Hera was the one who asked her to cover to prepare medicine for Aurora.
Hera frowned slightly upon hearing Everly call Bernard "Bernie". Her gaze flickered between Bernard and Everly, and she asked, "When did the two of you becso close?"
"Hera, don't get it wrong. While we were at the pet hospital yesterday for Tiramisu's about fusion, Bernie askedabout your past.
He didn't mean anything by it," Everly immediately explained. But her explanation seemed to make things worse. "If it's about me, can't you ask me? Do you have to ask her?" Hera asked Bernard.
Everly instantly answered first, "Hera, don't blBernie. He just wants to know more about your past." "Shut up! Was anyone talking to you?" Bernard cast an icy glance at Everly. Couldn't Hera tell what a sneaky bitch Everly was? "I'm sorry." Everly furrowed her brows. She looked rather innocent as she blinked at Hera. Her particularly innocent appearance made it hard for anyone to blher.
She had also acted this way in the past. Whenever she did something wrong, she would apologize white looking quite innocent. Thus, Heral and Catherine would not pursue the matter or scold her for it. X
