Chapter 392


    Nichs stared at Hera''s stunning side profile as she treated Geoffrey. He had always had a thing for women like her-cold and distant types that brought out a man''spetitive side.


    He had dated many women who were aloof like Hera, but none of them were as beautiful as her.


    Hera was alwaysposed and wore her arrogance like a second skin. Nothing could ruffle her feathers or diminish her confidence. It was as if the sky could be falling, and she would only find it a minor inconvenience.


    The more she looked down her nose at Nichs, the more intrigued he was. He licked his lips and tried to picture her writhing and begging under him in bed.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Sensing his gaze, Hera red at him as she pulled a needle from Geoffrey''s back.


    Nichs felt a chill race down his spine when he caught the icy look in her eyes that matched the gleaming point of the silver needle.


    Half an hourter, Hera extracted all the needles from Geoffrey''s back. Nichs was surprised to see Geoffrey flipping onto his side without assistance.


    Geoffrey''s movements did not stop there.


    He was delighted when he eased himself upright in bed and eximed, "I can finally move again! Thank you, youngdy! How should we address you? Are you and Dr. Miracle rted, by any chance?"


    "I''m Hera. Dr. Miracle is my grandmother," Hera said.


    "I see. Thank you so much for doing this. I''ll have someone pay my medical bill at the clinicter," Geoffrey said pleasantly, smiling.


    "As repayment for saving my life, you cane to me for anything you need help with in the future."


    Hera disinfected every silver needle she had used on Geoffrey before storing them in the pouch.


    She said tly, "I didn''t save your life. The wrong treatment and medication aggravated the bone spurs along your spine.


    "The bone spurs ended uppressing your nerves and hindered your ability to move your limbs.


    "My grandmother had already done half the work by performing acupuncture on you. If you had continued going to the clinic and taking your medication as instructed, you wouldn''t have ended up like this."


    The tips of Geoffrey''s ears turned red when he heard this.


    l


    He had felt better after receiving Catherine''s treatment, but in hisziness, he failed to take his medication as prescribed in the following two days. He didn''t think the consequences would be this serious.


    "Yes, I understand. I''ll take my medication on time from now on," he conceded, shamefaced as he nodded.


    He then snapped at his son, "See? I told you Dr. Miracle is better than Dr. Sha-I mean, Camille! Apologize to Ms. Youngworth right now!"


    He was more cautious after Hera had berated them earlier for confusing Camille with Dr. Shadow.


    He also knew Hera had specifically mentioned this for a reason. She wanted him to investigate Camille''s impersonation of Dr. Shadow.


    Nichs scoffed as he said arrogantly, "I suppose you''re worth your salt, but I''m not in the wrong here! This is her job, and curing you is the bare minimum."


    "You punk! How dare you speak to her this way after she saved my life?" Geoffrey barked, picking up a pillow and hurling it at Nichs. Nichs dodged the pillow. He hadn''t seen his father so lively for a while, and this alone spoke enough about Hera''s medical prowess. "Okay, okay. I''m sorry," Nichs drawled, not at all sincere about it.


    He licked his lips and added, "I was nning to fool around with you before, maybe knock you up so that you could be entitled to part of the Sandersons'' family fortune.


    "But seeing as you saved my dad''s life, I could consider making an honest woman out of you. What do you say? Pretty moving proposal, huh?" Hera was quiet as she kept her pouch.


    She shot Nichs a deadly look and asked dryly, "Do you know what happened to thest man who talked down to me like that?" "Oh, feisty! I dig that," Nichs said with a grin.


    He had already looked into Hera''s background before he caused a scene at Catherine''s clinic. While Catherine was not exactly influential, many important guests showed up when her clinic opened for business.


    The news reached the front page and circted through the upper-crust society. Everyone


    believed Catherine was either vervet


    well-connected to have such


    eli


    influential people as her patients or that these people only dropped by her clinic to get on Bernard''s good side.


    There were also rumors that Bernard often visited Catherine''s clinic atte hours. This brought on spection that he had gone to meet a secret lover instead of getting his health checked out.
