"Do you know the name of the doctor who couldn't save her?”
Christian remained silent for a moment before replying, "I don’t know. All I know is that after Violet's father, Shaun, died, the press even interviewed the doctor who performed surgery on them. Of course, the doctor didn't reveal his or her name, but they told the press that they were heartbroken over not being able t o save either Violet or Shaun.”
With that, Christian got out of bed and asked, "Why are you suddenly asking me all these questions? Do you think there's something fishy about Violet's death?"
Luna remained silent for a moment, then finally let out a sigh and told Christian what she had found. "I’m not sure if you know this, but Violet's mother, Janice, i s now married to Dr. Robert.”
Christian immediately leaped up from his bed. "You mean Dr. Robert Jenson, the one who made a fake medical certificate for Fiona?”
Luna nodded. "Yes. As you said, the only reason Fiona could convince Dr. Robert to help her is either she knows something about him that he wants to keep secret, or he feels indebted to Fiona about something and wants to repay her.
"However, according to what I found, the only person D
r. Robert and Fiona have in common...is the late Violet Lewis."
"D*mn!" Christian's exhaustion dissipated entirely upon hearing this shocking revelation. "Do you think Violet's death wasn't an accident after all, and it was actually a plotted murder by both Fiona and old man Robert? Does this mean that there might be more to this and that I don't have to go to jail for manslaughter?"
With that, he let out an exasperated sigh. "I'm not afraid of going to jail per se. I'm just worried that I might have to be in jail for a very long time and that when I'm finally released, I won't have any time to spend with my parents anymore. I wouldn't have tried to escape the law if I wasn’t the main culprit behind Violet’s death...”
Luna, too, let out a sigh when she heard this. "I don't think...Fiona would have thought of using Dr. Robert's help to deceive Joshua so many years ago. After all, she didn't even know Joshua at that time, so it's unlikely that they plotted Violet’s death together.
