Aaron continued, "The bullet from the sniper rifle matches the bullet we found in Queenie's body. The size, materials, and gunpowder also proved to be an exact match.

"We've also done a clean sweep of the forest, but we have yet to replace any useful clues. Their method of attack is also the same, so there's a 90% chance that the sniper who killed Queenie was last night's attacker."

It was their second time attacking them! Bernard could not help but suspect that the sniper's target last time wasn't Queenie but Hera instead.

"Continue the investigation," Bernard said coldly.

"Alright," Aaron said.

Hera returned to Jedburgh and got off the plane. When she turned her phone on and saw Leon's message, she handed Wayne her backpack and took a small handbag with her.

"All of you can go home first. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

With that said, she turned to head toward the cab area to call a cab. Then, she headed straight to Reinland Hospital.

Inside the hospital's VIP ward, Aurora opened her eyes and realized she was in the hospital. She immediately sat up and wrapped her arms around her stomach.

"Darling, slow down." Aurora's husband, Xeno Gaskell, who had been waiting by her bedside,

immediately got up to help her.

"Why am I here?" Aurora asked. She remembered going out for a walk and feeling sleepy. Then, she lost consciousness.

"You fainted," Xeno said.

"Is the baby alright?" Aurora asked immediately. Xeno seemed hesitant as he pressed the button beside Aurora's bed to call a doctor over.

Aurora immediately had a bad feeling. Ever since she stopped using the medication Camille had given her, her vomiting had become particularly severe. Not only did her weight not increase, but it went down instead.

She had found the most famous obstetrician in Jedburgh to take a look at her condition. The obstetrician told her that the fetus was maturing abnormally and suggested she get an abortion. But Aurora refused to do so.

She had been diagnosed with infertility by countless doctors. Her biggest wish in life was to give birth to her own child. She had finally gotten pregnant, so how could she ever agree to an abortion?

So, the doctor could only give her some medication to help with her pregnancy. But in less than half a month, Aurora fainted.

The deputy director of Reinland Hospital and the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department, Mark Reece, had personally come to examine her condition.

"Is my baby fine?" Aurora asked after the examination.

Mark said, "Ms. Killian, your blood sugar has sky-rocketed recently. Due to the abnormal maturity of the fetus, your child will die if you choose to continue your pregnancy.

"The continued pregnancy will also be a threat to your health. According to your situation, we would recommend that you abort the child and seek treatment for your body."

"No! No matter what happens, you must save my baby!" Aurora rejected their suggestion immediately.

"I'm sorry. We can't do that," Mark said with great difficulty.

Aurora immediately smashed the cup on the bedside table onto the floor. "My baby has been doing well. If it weren't for Camille's poisons, my baby would not have ended up like this!

"Call Marcus over here now! I don't care what you do, but you must save my baby! Otherwise, don't blame the Killian family for being cruel!"

"Darling, don't get mad. Be careful not to affect the baby," Xeno consoled.

"Ms. Killian, even our director won't have a way to save your baby. We're just thinking on behalf of your body," The deputy director said with difficulty.

Due to Camille's scandal, the relationship between the Killians and the Chimes was tense. There were even rumors that the medical equipment project that they were supposed to collaborate on had been put on hold. If Aurora's baby had died before childbirth, the relationship between the family would probably go down the drain.

"I don't want to hear it. Tell Marcus to come and meet me! Fuck off!" Aurora cried out in anger. The two doctors immediately left.

"Darling, don't be mad. We'll go and ask Dr. Shadow for help. She might have a way to help the baby," Xeno comforted.

Aurora's gaze darkened at the mention of the miracle doctor. But she didn't say a word as she gently caressed her stomach and nodded. At that moment, her ward was pushed open as a woman walked in. "Are you looking for me?"
