The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 965

Austin woke up the next morning sprawled out on the living room floor. The nanny, who'd taken the previous day off, returned and found him there after calling his name multiple times.

At first glance, the nanny only noticed Austin's clothes were a bit rumpled; she didn't see any obvious injuries. It wasn't until she tried to help him up that she realized he was weak and hurt. Panic set in as she quickly called an ambulance and then reported the break-in to the police.

By the time Austin was rushed to the hospital, the police had arrived at his house. Given the break-in, the officers were meticulous in their investigation, but they found nothing—not a single fingerprint or strand of hair. There was no surveillance footage either.

At the hospital, Austin's limbs had just been set and bandaged when he received a call from the police department. The news left him fuming. Being attacked without the assailant leaving any trace was a bitter pill to swallow.

Not long after, Kitty hurried into the hospital room, her face a mask of concern. Seeing Austin lying there, she couldn't hide her worry. "Emmitt, what happened? Who did this to you? How could even you..."

Austin's face was pale, his eyes dark with anger. "I don't know who it was. They wore a mask, so I couldn't see their face."

Kitty glanced at his bandaged hands and feet. "Are your injuries bad?"

Austin still felt the echoes of last night's pain. He took a deep breath. "Moderate fractures. The doctor said it'll take a month or two to heal."

Kitty's face clouded with worry. "First Aaron and Dr. Hulls, and now you. Who's behind all this?"

Could she be next? Kitty thought it might be wise to bring more bodyguards next time she went out.
