"I know about everything that happened to Violet and Shaun..."
Janice closed her eyes and slowly stood up. “Even though Violet's fall was an accident, her death wasn’t.
"Robert is a highly skilled doctor. When Violet was sent to the hospital, her condition was still treatable, but...
"When Violet died, I thought that Robert had just made a mistake. On top of that, he was a teacher of mine that I admired, so I didn't expose him at all. However, when my ex-husband Shaun got into an accident, Robert was the doctor in charge of his operation, but h e still didn’t manage to save Shaun.
"At that time, I had an inkling of what Robert was doing. He had betrayed his moral values and let Violet and Shaun die just so he could be together with me again. However, I didn't want to face this truth until...
"Until one day, I discovered that he and Fiona had devised this together, and they even destroyed the evidence of his manslaughter... That was when I finally saw Robert for the person he is, but at that time, I had already married him, so I pretended not to know and decided that I'd bear the brunt of his crimes. At least he hadn’t hurt anyone apart from me. Still, I didn't expect that he and Fiona would grow more and more outrageous and even deliberately
admit a perfectly normal person into a mental asylum.
"While I was locked in here the past few days, all I was thinking of is if I had exposed Robert’s crimes earlier... none of this would have happened."
Luna bit down on her lip after hearing Janice's story but did not know what to say.
After a moment, Janice let out an exhale, turned around, and handed Luna a tiny, black device. "I found this on the floor. It looks like a recording device of some sort. Is it yours?”
Luna stared at it for a long time before finally recalling what it was.
This was the device that Neil had tossed to her through the window that day. At that time, she had thought it was a communication device and even tried speaking into it for a long time...
Was it a recording device instead?
Luna had no choice but to take it from Janice.
She did not think Neil had tossed her a recording device on purpose. It was more likely that he had mistaken this for a communication device and given i t to her by mistake.
