Chapter 40. Secrets of War
Bernard was still in the hospital, but he already looked much stronger. Most of his wounds had healed completely—there wasn’t a single bruise left on his skin.
Just then, a nurse stepped into the room to check on his recovery. Everyone watched quietly as she examined Bernard. Her eyes widened with surprise.
"Wow! Mr. Bernard, your wounds are completely healed, and all the bruises are gone... This is amazing! I need to call the doctor right away!" she exclaimed, flashing a wide smile before hurrying out of the room.
About five minutes later, the doctor entered alongside the nurse. His face lit up the moment he finished his own examination.
"So, Mr. Bernard," the doctor began with a grin, "when do you plan on going home? Because from what I’m seeing here, you’re perfectly fine now!"
Before Bernard could respond, a familiar voice cut in from the doorway.
"Today. Right now. Discharge him immediately," Beta Gilbert said cheerfully as he walked into the room.
"Welcome, sir," the doctor greeted him. "We were just talking about your son’s incredible healing speed. I’ll get his discharge papers ready, as you’ve requested."
Beta Gilbert extended a handshake to the doctor in gratitude. With a satisfied smile, the doctor left the room.
"My son, I’m glad you’re strong and well again. There’s a lot of work waiting for us. I’ll explain everything once we get home," Beta Gilbert said, placing a firm hand on Bernard’s shoulder.
Bernard nodded, returning his father’s smile.
