Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 148

Victor's eyes turned icy in an instant.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to check the surveillance footage of Vanessa and Claire entering Irene's hospital room.

However, the footage from the hallway outside the room had also been deleted.

Victor's expression grew darker, and a nagging feeling told him that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Hospital surveillance is highly secured, and even medical staff can’t access it easily. Only a select few have the authority, and as a key doctor at Cresthaven General Hospital, Victor was among them.

This meant that whoever deleted the footage without a trace had to be someone with significant access and influence—not just any ordinary staff member.

Who was helping the real perpetrator?

Ethan's concern deepened, realizing he needed to speak to Irene directly.

**Irene's Hospital Room**

Victor knocked gently before entering the room.

Irene lay quietly on the bed, her eyes gazing blankly at the ceiling.

Victor approached her bedside, expressing concern for her health, but was met with silence.

With a heavy sigh, he switched topics, "I know what happened in your room yesterday."

Irene remained motionless, as if she hadn't heard a word.

"Irene, don't you want to see the person who hurt you brought to justice?"

Of course, she wanted that.

But she had witnessed everything clearly yesterday—Nathan, Adah, Ethan, Vincent, even her brother Brian, all seemed to defend Vanessa.

Remembering how the group mistreated and humiliated Claire yesterday, Irene let out a muffled sound of anguish, tears spilling down her cheeks.

She desperately tried to speak, but only garbled sounds escaped her throat, leaving her to weep silently.

Victor wiped her tears gently, "Don't cry, everything will be alright."

Once Irene calmed down, Victor spoke softly, "Focus on getting better. Once you're well, you can help Claire identify the real culprit."

After offering a few more words of encouragement, he left.

He needed to visit Cresthaven Memorial Hospital.

As his car pulled out of the garage, he spotted two familiar figures in the distance—Sophia Shaw, the hospital director, and Vanessa’s personal driver, Mr. Shen, whose first name he couldn't recall.

Seeing Sophia with the driver piqued Victor's curiosity—what could these two be doing together?
