10 - Jail

'Again! Why is this happening all over again?!'

In Linden's previous life, Daniel's job loss caused him to struggle for the rest of his life and things seemed to be on the same path this time.

No, this time, it was even faster. 

In less than two days after his regression, Daniel was sent to jail.

In less than two days, he was admitted to the hospital, and his brother was admitted to a cell.

'It feels like the whole society is full of malice for me. Could it be that God is helping Rowan? Helping the devil?'

At that moment, Linden experienced a sense of powerlessness and felt his courage slipping away.

'Am I going to lose again this time?'

'NO, I will never admit defeat!', Linden roared in his heart, 'God gave me a chance to make up for all my regrets and defeat Rowan! The show has just begun, Rowan. A small victory is nothing, you just wait for me!'

'I'll pay you back, with interest!'

-On the other side-

Rowan was also thinking about the future in this life.

Although Linden's right-hand man was cut off, he could not be careless now.

Since he is the real son of the gods, he will never fall so easily.

'If I give him a chance to catch his breath, he'll be back up in no time.'

It was not this simple too, Rowan had many more protagonists to deal with too.

Hell, not only the protagonists, but he had to deal with many villains too.

As long as he, as a villain, shows any little flaw, he may get caught by a protagonist and lose.

The protagonists can lose as many times as they want but as soon as he loses once, it is game over.

'All my movements must be done without any underhand or illegal tricks, just clean and neat!'

In the last life, he relied on all kinds of conspiracies to play with the protagonists' lives and drive them to death, making them fear just seeing him.

'Is it possible for me to be reborn, with better abilities, and still be unable to fight them? No way.'

"Let's play slowly, no rush!"

Rowan then arrived at the Crown Hospital in a happy mood.

He entered Laura's office and saw that Laura was busy dealing with Daniel's case.

Daniel being a star doctor of the Crown Hospital, they had to answer many places and make several public announcements.

Seeing Rowan, Laura asked, "I heard that you were also at the scene and were one of the witnesses. Can you tell me what exactly happened in the ward?"

Rowan took a seat and started speaking, "I just reached the hospital at that time, I wanted to visit Linden, but as soon as I arrived at the floor Linden's ward was on, I heard a shrill scream come from the ward. It was so loud that it could be heard in the whole building!"

"So, I broke into the ward with the nurses nearby and saw Doctor Simmons holding a long, thick silver needle and stabbing it in Linden's chest. It was very close to his heart, it went very deep, a few centimetres. That scene was…just terrifying."

"After that, Dr Simmons was controlled by us and the security. Not long after that, the police came and took him away. That's basically what happened."

Rowan was completely honest, he did not exaggerate.

Laura frowned, "But why would Dr. Simmons want to kill someone? He has had a good character all the time that he has worked here and I even heard that Linden was his junior and is like a brother to him. There was no reason for him to do it."

"During the arrest, he kept on insisting that he was saving Linden, not killing him. However, who would use a knife-like needle to save someone? And even stab them so close to their heart.", Rowan said.

Laura sighed.

She still didn't believe that Daniel would do something so stupid when he was at the peak of his career but, so what if she didn't believe him?

There was evidence, there were witnesses. She had no choice other than to believe it.

Moreover, as a doctor, he attempted murder in a hospital, his mental situation is definitely not good enough to be a doctor anymore.

Rowan then asked, "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

"What else can we do?" Laura said helplessly, "Regardless of his motive, and his actions, this matter has already had a very bad impact on our hospital. We have decided to suspend him temporarily for now, if he ends up being innocent, we'll take no further action but otherwise, we'll fire him. Of course, some public announcements still have to be made."

"Okay, don't think about the stressful things anymore. It's almost dinner time, let's go have dinner. I saw a new restaurant today and heard that it is good, let's try it together?" Rowan asked expectantly.

"Eat, eat, eat, do you do nothing other than eat all day?!" Laura said angrily.

"Then are you not going?"

"Of course, I'll go. I just wanted to say that." Laura chuckled as she got up from her chair and arranged some documents lying on her table.
