Chapter 111 Just A Habit
Chapter 111 Just A Habit
There was no exception, it was just a habit. Quincy’s eyes suddenly narrowed and his voice became tense. “How did you know?”
When she heard this, Angela was a little stunned. So Quincy also thought the same?
Angela said, “While administering first aid, I noticed that the head injury on Queenie was caused by an external object, not from a fall” As she paused for a moment, Angela carefully chose her words. “In other words, Queenie was initially struck on the head by an external force, leading to her loss of consciousness and then someone pushed her out of the window. We can request a professional doctor to provide an assessment report.”
After Angela finished speaking, Quincy’s eyes darkened. After a moment, he produced a USB drive.
In a cold tone, he stated, “This contains the surveillance video footage that Mr. Lawson helped me retrieve before and after Queenie’s incident. I have already reported it to the police.”
Angela was taken aback as she realized that she and Quincy shared the same suspicion. They both suspected that Queenie could not have jumped off the building due to the divorce.
Suddenly, Angela recalled Queenie’s death in her previous life. If Queenie’s suicide this time was not an accident, then what about her past life?
Could it be… just like this time, was Queenie the victim of a malicious plot?
Angela unconsciously tightened her grip on the USB drive and then inquired, “Did you see who it was?”
Quincy furrowed his brow as he shook his head. “I didn’t see the person. It was an issue with the angle. In the video, I only saw a pair of hands pushing Queenie out of the window.”
“I’ll review the video.” Angela wanted to see if she could spot anything different.
“Okay.”
Angela took the USB drive and found Jonathan still at the ICU entrance. “Jonathan, you’re still here? Can I borrow your laptop?”
Jonathan signaled for Simon to retrieve it from the car and asked softly. “Any new discoveries?”
“Yeah, it appears that Queenie didn’t commit suicide!” Angela looked resolute, though she already harbored a suspicion in her mind, but she lacked evidence and couldn’t find a motive.
Soon, Simon brought the laptop over.
After she inserted the USB drive, Angela selected the video to watch. When she saw that familiar figure, her suspicion was confirmed, it was Lina.
But why?
The rest of the matter was left for the police to handle and the truth could only be revealed when Queenie woke up.

After some time passed, a pained murmur suddenly emanated from the ward.
Angela and the others quickly gathered at the door of the ward.
“Queenie!”
“Queenie!”
Donald and the others received the news and hurried over as a group of people congregated in front of
the ward.
When he saw their anxious expressions, Jonathan lowered his gaze as his deep dark eyes fixed on her figure.
But Angela was too preoccupied with checking on Queenie’s condition to notice.
Jonathan murmured, “Let’s go, Simon.”
Simon was surprised, were they leaving just like that?
When he received the information relayed by Oliver, the boss canceled the meeting and rushed over directly.
Actually, this kind of situation didn’t necessitate the boss’s personal intervention.
Was the boss’s concern for Angela a bit excessive?
But Angela was also the only one who could ignite a fire within the boss.
Simon pushed the wheelchair into the car and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you really not going to inform Mrs. Lawson?”
The man remained silent and instead, he posed a question, “It seems like she cares deeply about everyone around her.
Simon was no different; kindness was simply a habit for him.
Inside the hospital room, Queenie weakly opened her eyes as she felt pain throughout her body. However, seeing her family gathered around her brought a sense of relief.
She tried to speak, but only weak sounds escaped her mouth.
“Mom…
“I’m here, Queenie. Don’t talk for now, be a good girl. Everyone from the family is here,” Hecate said as she fought back tears.
Angela’s heart skipped a beat as she saw her sister open her eyes. She asked, “Queenic, were you pushed down the stairs by someone? Was it Lina, Horace’s mistress?”
As soon as she asked, all eyes turned to Queenie and Angela.
