Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 955

"The patient died because she did not receive treatment for infectious tuberculosis. To ensure public safety and prevent the germs from spreading, anyone who had close contact with the deceased is required to go into quarantine and undergo check-ups.

"Any locations that the deceased and close contacts have visited will have to undergo sanitization," the head of the medical workers announced.

At the same time, the other medical workers started to register the names of everyone present. Those reporters, initially called over to get the scoop on the incident, paled at the announcement. Although they wanted to leave, it was already too late.

As soon as Chad arrived, he heard about the quarantine and sanitization measures, which left him furious and irritated. It was New Year's. He wasn't happy to learn that the residence entrance would have to be sanitized.

However, since the public's health and safety could be affected, Chad was still able to see the big picture as the head of the family. He took on the responsibility and began to cooperate with the medical workers.

While doing so, he had not forgotten to reprimand Giselle, who caused the mess. "What the hell have you done?"

"I…" Giselle was about to speak when she found her throat to be terribly itchy. She couldn't help but cough.

The maid beside her witnessed that. Something seemed to have crossed her mind as she instantly took a few steps back.

Initially, Giselle wasn't bothered. But when the medical workers immediately approached her, having seen the maid step back, Giselle couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Are you starting to cough as well?" one of the medical workers asked.

"My throat's just a little itchy." As soon as Giselle finished speaking, she couldn't help but burst into a fit of violent coughing.

The medical workers also instinctively took a step back. Only Lucius did not evade her. Instead, he began to gently pat Giselle on the back and ask, "Gigi, why are you coughing so violently too? Did Camila spread her cold to you?"

He had seen Camila coughing lately and even asked her to go for a check-up.

Giselle was left in a daze after coughing so hard. She was fearful that she had caught the disease.

On second thought, she remembered that she did not have direct contact with the couple. Hence, it was impossible for her to have gotten the disease. It must have been Camila who spread her cold to her.

It was early in the morning on New Year's when the headline "The Killians Have Contracted an Infectious Disease" hit the news. The entire Killian family was in a frenzy.

…

Meanwhile, things at Lumiville were the complete opposite of what was happening in Jedburgh. Bernard and Hera lay on the bed in the master bedroom of a seaside villa. They seemed rather cozy and intimate.

Bernard was propped up slightly, his right hand supporting his head. He looked at Hera, who was fast asleep in his arms, his gaze gentle yet full of desire.

Bernard's fingers brushed against Hera's face. He looked like he wanted to imprint the memory of her face in his mind forever.

"Bernard, have you turned into Superman? Don't you need to sleep?" Hera could feel something tickling her face while half-asleep. She impatiently pushed his hand away from her face, feeling irritated after being interrupted in her sleep.

After watching fireworks for New Year's, accepting the proposal, and tucking Dylan and Dora in bed, Hera was taken back to the room by Bernard. They were lost in each other's arms before finally going to sleep at daybreak.
