Chapter 694

"Oh, congratulations. I have another matter to attend to, so I should go now," Hera said indifferently and bypassed him, preparing to leave.

Hurt by her aloof attitude, Bernard quickly held her hand. "But it's a trap... I'll come with you."

He wanted to stop her, but he knew that she wouldn't listen very well.

Hera looked at his bandaged right hand, which was holding hers. A pang of guilt hit her.

She looked up at his handsome face. It would be a lie to say that she hadn't missed him after days of separation.

However, she didn't want to see him now, especially since he returned to the country to dissuade her from continuing her plan.

She withdrew her hand and coldly refused him, "Thanks, but no."

"Hera, you're here! I've been looking for you." The cheerful Thiago happened to come over. When he noticed Bernard behind Hera, his shoulders drooped as he assumed that she would stay by Bernard's side from now onward.

To his surprise, she walked toward him. "I had a call to take. Let's go."
