?Chapter 449


    There were also a few family doctors and gynecologists standing outside the master bedroom.


    Hera didn''t see Catherine and Xeno at all. Then, her gaze fell on Karen and Linda. Other than a few extra wrinkles on their faces, they looked exactly the same as they did years ago.


    While she looked at them from top to bottom, they were scanning her as well. After 12 years, that young girl from back then had grown into a fine woman.


    Karen told someone to look into Hera. After Daphne passed away from the ident back then, Catherine hid Hera at the border of the country. She only brought thetter back when the Everetts found out Hera was their biological daughterst year.


    Logically speaking, spending almost a dozen years in a vige should make Hera an ugly vige bumpkin. However, she looked fair and beautiful. She felt aloof and cold when she stood there, and even the most well-educated member of the Killian family wasn''t as elegant as her.


    Instead of saying that she had escaped the Killians in the past few years, it felt more like she had a great transformation in the vige. Linda''s eyes sh with jealousy immediately.


    "Why are you sote?" Karen asked fiercely.


    "Don''t be angry, Karen. Hera''s still young, and she doesn''t know how to be responsible yet. She probably thought it wasn''t important and took her sweet time," said Linda. Although it sounded like she was helping Hera, she was actually adding fuel to the fire.


    "If this isn''t important, then what is? Do we have to lose Aury and her child for it to be important?" Karen yelled domineeringly as the wife of the patriarch.


    "The doctors at the side were so scared that their legs were trembling. They were worried they might be dragged into the mess and lose their jobs forever.


    "Hah!" Hera scoffed.


    Karen''s face instantly darkened so much that it felt like ink could drip out of it soon. Linda noticed it and scolded, "How could you possiblyugh at a time like this?"


    "You''re still the same and like to start conflicts as ever, Ms. Linda. It''s as if you''re afraid of a peaceful world," Hera said calmly.


    "You! What are you babbling about?" Linda''s face immediately turned red.


    As Mrs. Killian of Killian Corporation, all the wealthydies would respect her. Even Karen had never directly challenged her in public before.


    However, Hera was mocking her in front of so many people! She thought about what happened in the past and figured Hera was back to stir up trouble! There was no way she would let thetter seed.


    Karen nced at Linda, who was clutching her handkerchief in anger at the side, and she couldn''t help being impressed by how direct Hera was.


    After years of being Linda''s sister-inw, she knew what Linda was like. However, as the patriarch''s wife, she had to y by the family''s rules. Before Linda made a great mistake, Karen couldn''t do anything about her. Instead, they had to get along in harmony.


    She was only angry earlier because she was worried about Aurora.


    "You don''t have..."


    "That''s enough!" Karen interrupted Linda and solemnly said to Hera, "Check on Aury now! If you can''t save her child, I''m going to make you pay!"


    Linda tightened her grip on her handkerchief and forcefully calmed herself down. Then, she red at Hera like she was going to kill thetter.


    Hera returned to her cold self and followed Talia into the master bedroom.


    Aurora looked pale as shey on the bed in the bedroom. Xeno was sitting next to the bed, and when he saw Hera entering the room, he happily said, "Dr. Shadow, you''re finally here!"C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    When Hera didn''t see Catherine, she asked, "Where is my grandma?"


    "Dr. Youngworth is in the kitchen making some medicine," he answered.


    She nodded and ced her bag down. Then, she checked Aurora''s pulse and couldn''t help frowning.
