Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 638

When Hera arrived at the consultation room, Gemma was toying with her bracelet while Xavier glanced around the room.

Seeing her, Xavier quickly approached and shoved the thermos container at Hera. "Here, pretty lady. I made some food for you. Please eat."

"No need." Hera glanced at the thermos container he was offering and didn't take it.

Xavier was persistent and pushed the thermos container toward her. "Eat."

"I'm sorry, Ms. Youngworth. I told him last night that you saved him. And when he heard we were coming here today, he insisted on bringing the food he made for you," Gemma explained.

She tried to take the thermos container from Xavier. "Xavier, she isn't hungry right now. Let's see the doctor first, okay? I'll hold this for you."

"No!" Xavier hugged the thermos container protectively, refusing to let her touch it no matter how much she coaxed.

"Come with me." Hera glanced at the thermos container Xavier was guarding and led him into the empty consultation room.

Xavier obediently followed her inside. Gemma asked before Hera could close the door, "May I accompany Xavier? He might be scared."

Before Hera could refuse, Xavier huffed. "I'm not scared. The pretty lady saved me, so I'm not afraid."

"Hera doesn't like being disturbed during consultations. Please wait in here, Ms. Killian," Catherine explained.

Gemma glanced at Xavier. Seeing that he didn't need her, she sighed and followed Catherine to the waiting room.

Once the door closed, Hera made sure to lock it. She turned around to see Xavier, still playing the part of a naive child, examining the room while clutching the thermos container.

"This room has no surveillance, and the soundproofing is good." Hera pulled out a chair and sat down.

Only then did Xavier's facade slip away. His expression became serious as he stared at Hera. "You're investigating the person who killed my father, aren't you?"
