Chapter 5


    After ariving at the third door, Lilith pushed the door open and gestured inside. “I’m not sure if this


    matches your taste. Look around and let me know it it suits you, or if you’d Tke to add anything”


    The room boasted a chic, princess–like decor, belmming with feminine allure. However, it failed to


    resonate with Hera’s preferences


    Feeling Lilith’s hopeful gaze upon her, Hera reluctantly added. “It’s alright-”


    Before she could finish speaking, someone forcefully pushed her, causing her to lose her bnce


    and stagger


    “Out! This is my shady!” Gino’s re bore into Hera with intense hostility, resembling a lit fuse ready


    to explode,


    Lith found herself caught in the middle. She asked, “Hera, are you okay? Gino, didn’t we agree that


    this room was meant for your sister?”


    Gino’s expected outburst lett Lilith feeling flustered


    The second and third floors of the mansion were fully upied, leaving only the housekeeper’s


    room and guest rooms on the first floor.


    Given Hera’s status as a member of the Everett family, staying on the first Goot was out of the


    question. Thus, Lilith arranged an agreement with Gino.


    Gino agreed to share a study with Godeon, thereby vacating Gino’s study for Bertout as her room.


    “She’s not my sister! I don’t have a sister who showed up from the countryside!” Gino objected


    strongly, trying to push Hera away again.


    Hera gracefully sidestepped his advance.


    Caught off guard by her agility, Gino stumbled and collided with the foot of the bed Instantly, his


    pained cries echoed through the room.


    “What’s wrong?What’s going on? Mildred’s voice came from behind


    Giselle had helped Mildred up to the third floor.


    Gino canto Mildred and burst into tears. “Granda, help me! This hick just shoved me!”

    Hera stayed quiet.


    “Don’t worry, don’t worry I’ll handle this fairly for you” Mildredforted him by parring his back,


    “Let me see where you’re hurt.”


    Gino’s face was a mess of tears and snot. He had a big bump on his forehead.


    “Oh dear, how did you hurt yourself so badly? Will it affect how you look? Giselle eximed


    dramatically


    Gndered even harder at the mention of his appearance being affected


    “Gino, let me see I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not watching you closely enough.” Lith anxiously tried to


    approach Gino, but Mildred pushed her away.


    “What are you waiting for? quickly, call the doctor!” Mildred scolded her, then red at Her “we’ll


    talk about thister!


    Herz remained silent.


    The mansion was in chaos. Everyone’s attention was centered on Gine.


    Watching Hera being left on the sidelines filled diselle with satisfaction. She saw Heraas nothing


    more than a country bumpkin umworthy of Lilith’s attention


    Gino sobbed in Mildred’s arms in the living room downstairs. His putty, red eyes bugged at Mildred’s


    heartstrings.


    Mildred scolded Lilith, selling her to urge the family doctor, and instructed Judy to fetch a hot pack.


    Before long, Judy returned with one


    “Gina, stop crying. Applying this hot pack should help.” Mildred reassured, preparing to apply the


    hot pack


    But before she could, a stem voice cut in, “Don’t use that. Use ice cubes instead


    Mildred turned to see Hera standing on the staircase.


    Hera was still d in her tattered, snug dress, with her bag sling over her shoulder. She had an air


    of confidence that made Mildred suddenly uncertain if she was a city dweller or from the


    countryside.


    “What makes you think you know better? Using a hot pack can boost blood flow and reduce


    swelling,” Mildred retorted and red at Hera


    Mildred carefully applied the hot pack over the sizable bump on Gino’s forehead


    “Ouch!” Gino winced and began to resist.


    “You need to bear with it. Applying the hot pack over the swollen area is necessary for reducing the


    swelling,” Mildred insisted.


    e signaled for Judy to help in keeping Gino sell.


    Lith sympathized with Gino but didn’t dare oppose Mildred’s instructions. She could only watch


    amdously.


    In that instant, Mildred felt someone grab her hand. Her eyes sparked with anger when she


    realized it was Hera. “What are you doing?”


    Hera remained cold and repeated, “You should use a coldpress”


    “Move aside! Don’t meddle. I know what I’m doing. Why would I hurt my grandson? Mildred yanked


    her hand away from Hera’s grip.


    She had seen Fanny Paterson, her friend, use this technique to ease swelling and bruises on her


    grandson before. There was no way she could be mistaken! Herastayed quiet.


    Sering the opportunity, Gino squirmed out of Mildred’s embrace and into Lilith’s. His face was


    covered in tears and snot. He looked utterly miserable. Mildred boiled with anger just as she was


    about to instruct judy to bring Gino back to her, the family doctor, Wilbur Hobgood, arrived.
