Under the Heiress' Facade



Chapter 796noveldrama

Two weeks passed.

In Ursa Major, Johnson was applying medicine to the wound on Bernard's stomach and the back of his head. The healing process was far from ideal. His mental condition was

deteriorating as well.

The dark circles under his bloodshot eyes were so dark as a result of sleep deprivation.

Hera barely cured his insomnia induced by headaches, but he had been suffering from it since the first day she went missing.

"Bernie, time to take your medicine. After you take it, get some sleep." Johnson handed Bernard the anti-inflammatory medicine mixed with some sleeping pills.

He was concerned that with the way things were going, it would take a toll on Bernard's health.

Ignoring the medicine, Bernard glanced at Aaron, who was standing at the end of the bed. " No news yet?"

Like an emotionless robot, he repeated the same question every day.

"No." Aaron shook his head.

His subordinates had been searching for Hera day and night for the past two weeks. They searched every nook and cranny of the area, including the sea, but they failed to find her. It was as if she had vanished in thin air.

A glass shattered by Aaron's feet.

"Why can't you find her? It's been so long! What have you guys been doing? What are you standing there for? Find her right now!"

Felix heard a man shouting angrily and the sound of glass shattering when he reached the door.

Hurriedly, he knocked on the door and entered the room. The man in bed looked like he could lose his sanity at any moment.

"Calm him down! Hurry!" instructed Felix.

The three men worked together until they managed to inject a sedative into Bernard, then drifted off.

"Mr. Killian's condition is getting worse. If we don't find Ms. Youngworth any sooner, I'm afraid he might lose his mind one day. Even if he doesn't, he might suffer from a personality disorder. I strongly suggest starting the treatment as soon as possible," said Felix while walking out.

Aaron and Johnson wished Bernard to take the treatment too. The past two weeks had been torture, and they were reaching their limits.

Bernard had had episodes before, but this was the first time he was reacting like this.

"Mr. Kennedy, what should we do to treat him? Is there a way?" asked Johnson.

Theo poured Felix a cup of tea. He took a sip and said, "Ms. Youngworth came to me before. She suggested something for the worst-case scenario for Mr. Killian's condition."

"What is it?" Aaron, Johnson, and Theo asked in unison.

Felix answered, "Erase his memories of her."

The three were stunned.

Johnson was the first to speak up, "I don't think this is a good idea."

Aaron added, "That's no different from killing him!"

Bernard loved Hera so much. She was basically his world. If he were to forget her, that would be no different from taking his life from him!

Bernard would never agree to this!

"Is that the only way?" Theo finally said something.
