Chapter 466
It was 8:00 am when Catherine, Everly, and Wayne arrived at the clinic on time to start work. Everly noticed that Bernard’s car was parked in the courtyard and the door to the western wing was wide open.
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately ordered the cleaners to clean up the scattered petals and leaves caused by last night’s hailstorm in the courtyard. She also had them check the extent of the damage done to the herbs that Hera had been growing in the flowerpots.
While giving orders, Everly looked toward the door to the western wing several times, wishing she could go inside and have a look.
At that moment, Bernard, dressed in a black silk pajamas, walked out. Having just woken up, his usual well- combed short hair was slightly messy, making him seem more attractive than usual.
The sight of him distracted Everly, and she also became slightly envious of Hera. She held back the jealousy in her heart as she walked over. “Good morning, Bernie.”
“Not so loud. Don’t disturb Hera while she’s sleeping,” he ordered coldly.
The two cleaners exchanged glances with each other before gazing at Everly. They hadn’t been very noisy. But if they had been, that was also because Everly had ordered them to clean up this area.
Everly felt her face burn as she lowered her voice and explained, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to do it on purpose. I was just too worried about whether the hailstorm destroyed Mrs. Jones and Hera’s herbs.”
Bernard acted as if he heard nothing. Instead, he went to the car to retrieve the medicine provided by the pet hospital yesterday before returning to the house.
Having noticed the medicine, Everly asked in a low voice, “What happened to Tiramisu..”
Before she finished speaking, she heard Bernard make a call and say sternly, “Kick anyone out who makes noise above 30 decibels!” He then shut the door.
Initially, Everly did not feel embarrassed as Bernard had always been aloof and heartless. She was merely envious of how considerate he was of Hera
But when Everly turned around and saw the cleaners watching her, she suddenly felt rather embarrassed and immediately said in a low voice, “What are you two looking at? Quickly clean up, and don’t disturb Hera from her sleep’
Meanwhile, Tiramisu saw the door to the bedroom open and scampered out from the study to the bedroom. Just as it was about to leap onto the bed, Bernard picked it up and carried it out from the room.
Tiramisu snorted as it struggled in his arms. It wanted to see Hera and be with her.
Bernard immediately covered its mouth and checked whether Hera had awakened. After shutting the door, he removed his hand from Tiramisu’s mouth and said, “Be good. Don’t disturb your mother sleeping.”
Tiramisu snorted, feeling very unhappy. But it did not scratch the room door after being placed on the floor. After feeding Tiramisu some medicine, Bernard called Douglas to inform him that he would be working from home today.
He wanted to wait for Hera to wake up. Last night, he was too angry and did not control himself. He seemed to have gone too far.
Douglas had dropped by to report on his work. When he entered the clinic, he noticed the eerie silence at the clinic.
Everyone seemed to be extremely cautious and walked very softly. They even spoke so gently that he could only hear what they said if he leaned in.
“Is Mr. Killian this temperamental whenever he wakes up?” Wayne whispered in Douglas’ ear.
Douglas was startled. He had no idea that Bernard would wake up with a bad temper. How did he not know this?
Due to severe chronic headaches in the past, Bernard found it hard to have a good night’s sleep. Even the slightest noise would immediately wake him up.
Additionally, Bernard used to be in the military, where he had to get used to the different environments and frequent emergencies. There was no room for him to be careless, let alone wake up with a bad temper. “Perhaps it was Ms. Youngworth who woke up with a bad temper instead?” Douglas denied it.
