Thinking Hera had returned, Bernard said hoarsely, "I feel terrible, sweetie." His gentle voice held a hint of playfulness, making him sound nothing like his usual cold self. Hearing that made Lorna's heart race involuntarily. She never knew he had such a gentle side to him.
"Mr. Killian." Lorna held a glass of water as she cautiously approached him.
Realizing that it wasn't Hera, Bernard glared at Lorna before coldly uttering, "Get lost!" Lorna flinched slightly at his sudden change of attitude, but she did not back down. "Mr. Killian, I noticed how uncomfortable you were, so I poured a glass of warm water for you. Drink it, and you'll feel better."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Killian. I only wanted to help take care of you because you looked like you were in a lot of pain. Please don't get the wrong idea. If it really bothers you, I'll go out now." Lorna looked pitiful as she backed away in terror. She was genuinely scared that he would really shoot her if she accidentally provoked him.
"Hold on." As she reached the door, she suddenly heard Bernard's somewhat hoarse voice behind her.
Lorna stopped and immediately turned around to see that Bernard had already put the gun down. That made her panic turn into glee.

It was rumored that he had even injured and crippled several maids at the Killian residence. They eventually died in their suffering.
If Bernard learned of Lorna's motives and the aphrodisiac she had added to the water, she wondered if she would even be able to walk out of this room.
"No... No... What drug?" Before she could finish speaking, Bernard interrupted her. He could tell from her expression that something was wrong with the glass of water.
Lorna bit her lip hard, not daring tox say a word. She timidly stared at Bernard. Although he was extremely handsome, he currently seemed as terrifying as a demon.
