"What are you doing? Let me down." Hera noticed Bernard, who was easily jealous, was getting envious again. She smacked his chest and wanted to be put down.
However, Bernard didn't want to let go. He forcibly carried her to his car in the parking lot. That wasn't enough for him, though. He even started kissing her passionately.
Hera saw Bernard closing the partition between the driver's seat and the back seat. She was worried that he would do the unspeakable with her right here and now due to extreme jealousy. So, she pushed him away and said, "That's enough. Cut it out."
"Tell me you love me." Bernard pressed against Hera's forehead. It looked like he wasn't going to let her go if she didn't comply.
Hera was at a loss for words. There was nothing she could do but to go along with him. "I love you—mmph!" She had just finished saying it when Bernard kissed her passionately again. What a liar.
After a long time, Bernard reluctantly let Hera go. "This is your reward. I love you too." Hera was stumped again.
Douglas turned the car around. It just so happened that Harvey exited the graveyard as well. He was standing by the side of the road, waiting for a cab.
"Give him a ride." Hera knocked on the partition, making Douglas stop the car.
After all, Harvey was her patient, and the graveyard was in a remote location. On top of that, it wasn't exactly a popular time for people to be visiting the deceased. So, there weren't any cars around.
Lastly, it was raining outside, and Harvey had just recovered from a serious condition. It'd be hard for him to go back.
Bernard heard what Hera said, and his eyes were brimming with displeasure. He wanted to reject the idea, but he recalled Sage's reminders and endured it.
"I can give him a ride, but you have to make it clear to him that you're just doing it because you pity him. When we drop him off, he's going to have to pay us a fare," Bernard said.
Hera grumbled, "Tsk. Why are you taking it so seriously with a patient?"
Bernard retorted, "Well, I'm a patient too. I have an addiction, and it's you." Hera was at a loss for words. He was just too easily jealous.
Douglas pulled the car over by Harvey. He lowered the car window and signaled for him to get in. Harvey didn't hesitate. He opened the passenger door and stepped into the car.
