Under the heiress facade

Douglas 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.

"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 some knowledge 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."
