In Flowera, Bernard had just laid down on his hospital bed. As he was about to put his phone away, he saw the text from Sable and immediately sat up again.
Sage and Felix were startled by this.
"Is something wrong, Mr. Killian?" Felix asked.
Bernard didn't respond. Instead, he made a phone call right away. "Find Hera's location immediately!"
Seeing this, the two guessed what might be going on.
"Bernard, calm down. You're too controlling," Sage comforted him.
Bernard had known Sage since he was young and had always treated him with respect. He listened closely. "But she hasn't responded to my messages for 28 hours and has blocked my contact information!"
This made him very anxious. She hadn't blocked him during their last breakup, but now, she had removed all ways for him to contact her.
Sage had heard about the situation between Bernard and Hera from Felix. He reassured Bernard, "You need to give her some space. Whether you're lovers or married, both of you still need private time. She'll feel exhausted if you're too controlling and will only want to distance herself from you.
"Especially now that Ms. Youngworth is still angry with you. She's not contacting you because she wants you to focus on your treatment. You should rest properly. Try not to think about her from now on and think about other things to distract yourself."
Bernard fell silent, recalling Hera's angry words from before. "I'm a person! Not your property..."
