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 find 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?
