Chapter 678

"Don't leave… " Bernard pleaded as he reached for Hera's hand to stop her from leaving. He was scared. He was afraid that she wouldn't come back to him again if she left this time. Having just woken up, his face was as pale as a sheet, making anyone who set their eyes on him pity him instantly. Suppressing her sympathy for him, Hera wrang her hand free from his grasp and left the ward in a hurry. Instinctively, Bernard got up and tried to go after her, but pain and soreness spread from every inch of his body. His right hand was bandaged, but the gauze was stained red because he exerted too much force too abruptly just now. "You have soft tissue damage all over your body. You have to stop moving around," Douglas advised. Johnson piped in, "That's right. Let her get some rest. She kept you company all night, so she didn't get much sleep. She needs to rest." If it weren't for Hera last night, Johnson and Douglas might have needed to wait until dawn to bring Bernard down.
