Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 156

That meant a miracle doctor must have cured Gino's illness!

"Yup! My older sister was the one who cured me!" Gino exclaimed confidently.

He then shot Hera a proud look. "She's here to treat your illness today!"

Ever since Hera administered acupuncture to Gino in the school infirmary, he was pleased to find out that the bruises on his face had disappeared. Not only that, his rhinitis was also cured once and for all.

That was why he had absolute faith in Hera's medical skills.

"Your 'older sister,' you say?"

Mildred acted as though she finally noticed Hera for the first time. She continued in a passive-aggressive tone, "Oh? It's rare to see you here today."

This was Hera's first time visiting Mildred at the hospital since the latter got hospitalized. Mildred's resentment toward Hera had been building up all this time.

That was why she decided to ignore Hera right after Hera stepped into her ward. She merely wanted to act all high and mighty around Hera in order to teach her a lesson.

However, Hera didn't seem to care about Mildred's demeanor. She dragged the only chair in the ward to the side and plopped down on it. With one leg crossed over the other, she began playing a game on her phone.

Based on her demeanor, it was clear that Hera didn't mind waiting for the other Everetts to wrap up their conversations.

She was a girl of her word. It was due to the promise she had made to Lilith that she decided to drop by the ward. If not, she would never visit a nasty old woman like Mildred in the first place.

Of course, Mildred was pissed off at the sight of Hera's nonchalance.

"What the hell is with that attitude of yours? I knew it! Those who come from the countryside are extremely rude!"

"Mom, don't be like that. Hera came all the way here just to visit you. She's also here to treat your illness," Lilith hurriedly explained.

"Treat my illness? As if that country bumpkin and her useless remedies can do that! From the way I see it, she's planning to poison me with those remedies! Tell her to get lost right now! Just the sight of her makes my head throb!" Mildred shrieked angrily.

After that, she glanced at the door. "Where's Giselle? Why hasn't she visited me after so long?"

Gino was quite displeased with Mildred's demeanor toward Hera, so he shot back, "Don't you know what happened, Grandma? Giselle made our family go bankrupt! She has already returned to the countryside, where she actually belongs!"

"Gino!" Lilith wanted to cut Gino off, but she was too late.

"What did you just say? When did that happen? Why didn't anyone tell me about it?" Mildred exclaimed in shock.

"Grandma?"

Gino shook Mildred as well. Fear began setting in when he realized she wouldn't respond to him.

"Hera, hurry up and take a look at Grandma's condition!"

Hera clicked her tongue, seemingly annoyed by Gino's exclaims. "She'll live."

Then, she put away her phone casually and rose from the chair before walking toward Mildred's bed. Lilith quickly scooted to the side to make way for her.

Hera pulled out her acupuncture kit from her bag and opened it up so that she could spread it across the bed. She plucked a needle daintily from the kit, her eyes roaming around Mildred's form as she searched for a proper acupuncture point to target.

"What's going on here?"

A nurse, Eileen Hedgewick, rushed into the ward after noticing the emergency button lighting up in the nurse's station. The moment Eileen flung the door open, she noticed Hera about to stab Mildred with a needle.

She exclaimed in shock, "What are you doing to the patient?"
