After her rebirth

Chapter 111



Micah's eyes narrowed, his voice tense. "How do you know?"

Katniss was taken aback. Did Micah think the same thing?

"When I was giving first aid, I noticed Saskia's head injury wasn't from the fall," Katniss said. "She was hit on the head first, then thrown out the window. We should get an injury report." Micah's eyes darkened. He pulled out a USB drive. "This is the surveillance footage I got from around the time of Saskia's incident. I've already called the cops."

Katniss's eyes widened. It seemed she and Micah were on the same page-Saskia didn't jump because of the divorce.

Suddenly, Katniss remembered Saskia's death in her previous life. If this fall wasn't an accident, what about last time?

Was Saskia murdered in her previous life?

Katniss gripped the USB drive tightly. "Did you see who did it?"

Micah frowned and shook his head. "No, the video only shows a pair of hands pushing her out the window."

"Let me see the video," Katniss said, hoping to spot something different.

"Okay."

Katniss took the USB drive and found Maximilian still at the ICU entrance. "Maximilian, can I borrow your laptop?" Maximilian signaled Emilio to get it from the car. "Do you have any new discoveries?"

"Yes, Saskia didn't commit suicide!" Katniss's eyes were firm. She had her suspicions but needed evidence and a motive.

Emilio brought the laptop. Katniss inserted the USB drive, selected the video, and started watching. Seeing that familiar figure, her suspicion was confirmed it was Brenda who pushed Saskia. But why?

The rest was up to the police. The truth would come out when Saskia woke up.

A painful murmur suddenly came from the ward.

Katniss and the others quickly gathered at the door.

Wesley and a few others rushed over, and a group of people gathered in front of the ward.

Maximilian lowered his gaze, his deep dark eyes fixed on Katniss's back.

But Katniss was busy checking on Saskia and didn't notice.

Maximilian said calmly, "Let's go, Emilio."

Emilio was surprised. 'Leaving now?'

After getting the info from Conrad, Maximilian had canceled a meeting and rushed over. This wasn't something that usually required his personal attention. Was Maximilian's concern for Katniss a bit too much? But Katniss was the only one who could make Maximilian feel alive.

As Emilio pushed the wheelchair and got into the car, he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't we going to say anything to Katniss?"

Maximilian didn't answer but instead asked, "It seems Katniss cares about everyone around her."

In the past, because of Desmond, Katniss had inquired about the likes and dislikes of everyone in the Boleyn family.

Maximilian had seen Katniss bending over backward to please everyone in the Manners family too.

Now, she was ready to do anything for Wesley's family.

It seemed being good to those around her was just in Katniss's DNA.

Her kindness towards him wasn't special; it was just who she was.

Suddenly, the air in the car turned icy. Maximilian stared indifferently at the passing scenery outside.

Emilio furrowed his thick eyebrows, feeling conflicted. Men in love really had changeable minds. Inside the hospital.

Saskia weakly opened her eyes, feeling pain all over. But seeing her family around her, she felt a bit relieved.

She wanted to speak but could only make weak sounds, "Mom."

"Yes, I'm here, Saskia. Don't talk now, sweetie. We're all here." Daphne's nose tingled, and she wanted to cry but held back.

Seeing her open her eyes, Katniss's heart skipped a beat. She stepped forward and asked, "Saskia, were you pushed off the building? Was it Brenda, Kieran's mistress?" As soon as Katniss asked, everyone stared intently at Saskia and Katniss.

Saskia didn't commit suicide over love?

If that was true, they would make the Scott family pay!

Saskia turned her eyes to look at Katniss, took a moment, and said with difficulty, "After I entered the door, I was knocked out. I don't know what happened after that." The next second, Saskia weakly added, "But I smelled a perfume scent. I think I smelled it on Kieran's clothes before."

It was undoubtedly Brenda.

Knowing the result, Katniss remembered Maximilian and hurried out to look. Maximilian had already left.

Katniss stood in the hallway, looking at the traffic outside through the transparent glass.

It seemed she owed Maximilian another favor.

To take care of Saskia, Katniss took several days off from school, staying and sleeping at the hospital.

Micah was responsible for following up on Saskia's case. It wasn't difficult, and the police soon arrested Brenda, who confessed to the crime but never revealed the reason behind it. Daphne, knowing Saskia's fall wasn't an accident and that the culprit was Kieran's mistress, cursed the entire Scott family.

The Scott family was in a mess. After the divorce, half of the property was taken away, and now Kieran was arrested!

Ellen cried at the police station every day, claiming Kieran was innocent.

The police were very annoyed.

Knowing this, Katniss sneered. Maximilian lent her a lawyer, who said they could make sure Brenda and Kieran spent the rest of their lives in prison.

At noon, Katniss carried a lunch box and walked quickly towards Saskia's ward.

As she passed a room with an open door, the wind blew the door open.

Katniss was startled, then she came to her senses, apologized, and went to close the door.

Seeing the person inside, she was stunned.

Nathan?

Seeing no one else in the room, Katniss hesitated and went in.

Nathan had a pale face and was breathing lightly. If not observed carefully, one might mistake him for a dead person.

But Katniss didn't doubt he was alive.

Because this was how Nathan used to look.

His condition had deteriorated so quickly after stopping his medication for such a short time?

Out of curiosity, Katniss checked up on him.

"What are you doing?" Nathan suddenly opened his eyes.
