"Samantha can take her own photos. I want to snap some of my own." Dora was slightly reluctant.
"You can use mine." Bernard handed his phone to her.
"Thanks, Daddy." Dora happily began taking many photos.
Once they were done signing the documents, Bernard and Hera were given their marriage certificate.
"Congratulations on your marriage. May you two be together forever and have lots of…" the staff members said in unison before trailing off.
They were about to wish Hera and Bernard a happy marriage with lots of children when they spotted Dora. Hence, they hurriedly changed their tune. "May you become wealthier than ever."
"Thank you."
Bernard brushed his fingers across the marriage license, his gaze inadvertently showing his delight. Douglas rarely saw Bernard being unable to conceal his happiness. He wasn't even that joyful when the world's rarest gems ended up in his hands.
Hera was really the most important person to Bernard in this world.
"Come, Dora. Help me and your mother take a few more photos." Bernard held the marriage license while wrapping an arm around Hera. He wanted to show off to everyone that they were married.
As soon as she heard Bernard asking her to take photos, Dora immediately got into position. "Sure! Mommy, look at the camera… Mommy, can you lean your head toward Daddy?
"Okay, let's change your pose. I'll take a few more photos… Oh, yes. That pose was great, maintain it and don't move. Let's take a few more."
After posing for half an hour, Bernard took his phone, full of anticipation. He tapped on the gallery, wanting to see the photos Dora snapped. In the end…
Dora seemed to know what she was doing while directing them earlier. Why did her photos turn out so bad?
"According to the news, Giselle's the reason for the spread of infectious tuberculosis. She asked someone to pick up a patient with severe tuberculosis from the countryside and bring the woman to Jedburgh. Giselle even promised to find someone to treat them."
Samantha continued, "The patient's husband mentioned that Giselle asked them to go to Dr. Shadow for treatment and even gave them money. However, you happened to be in the process of moving the clinic back to the courtyard house at that time, so you temporarily stopped accepting patients.
"The couple was arranged to stay at a small hostel to wait for further instructions. However, the patient died before she could receive treatment in time. Her corpse remained in the hostel without being properly handled for a few days while the farmer kept seeking Giselle out for an answer.
"Since the husband didn't receive an explanation, he moved his wife's corpse to the entrance of the Killian residence. He even invited the media over to cause a scene.
"This has gotten quite out of hand. As for infectious tuberculosis, you should know better about it than I do.
"The netizens even said that two of the employees working at the hostel where the couple stayed have been diagnosed with tuberculosis, and it's rather serious. The other employees are still undergoing a check-up."
Samantha spoke while scrolling through the latest news. "Oh, the latest news is Giselle has been diagnosed with infectious tuberculosis!"
