Rich, arrogant and lazy sloth

When Aster opened her eyes this time, she saw a familiar white ceiling. She is back in her hospital bed.

However, unlike the last time, she isn't alone.

She could hear people speaking and when she turned her eyes towards the source, she saw a girl in her early twenties sitting in a wheelchair talking to the doctor.

She has a cast around her left arm and her left leg is wrapped with a bandage.

She even has a few scratches on her face.

"June, you woke up!" the girl exclaimed in relief as she wheeled her chair towards the bed.

Meanwhile, Aster didn't know how to respond.

She just stared at the girl passively.

'This is June's cousin.' Aster thought inside as some fuzzy memories of the owner of this body, Katherine June Edgar flashed in her mind.

The girl in front of her is Fiona Edgar. She is the daughter of June's paternal uncle, John Edgar.

"Why are you even caring about this arrogant frump! She got you into this accident and see how you have become!" an angry voice filled the room as a woman in late forties entered the room.

As soon as she entered, she threw a deathly glare at Aster and if not for Fiona who held her hand firmly, she might have even attacked with the bag in her hand.

"Mom, don't insult my cousin like this!! She didn't want any of this either!" Aster heard Fiona plead with her mother.

"Dear, why are you still this naive?? Can't you see that she planned all this, daughter!! Just like how she sent your sister into a coma, she wanted to get rid of you as well!!" Aster heard Fiona's mom shout, her voice aggrieved.

Listening to their words, Aster started to feel her head throb with pain. She tried to remember the incidents mentioned by them but the memories are very fuzzy.

All she could recall is that Fiona has elder sister Thea Edgar who went into vegetable state four year back.

And, the owner of this body, Katherine June Edgar was there at that time.

Aster was only able to recall snippets of those memories but those weren't enough to conclude that June is the reason for Thea's misfortune.

Although Aster couldn't understand the whole picture here, she understood that Katherine June Edgar's life is not as simple and peaceful as she hoped.

"You!! Stay out of my daughter's life. You already ruined this family enough. There is nothing more to ruin now!" Aster heard Fiona's mother yell at her.

Before things could get out of hand, the doctor who was previously talking to Fiona persuaded Fiona's mother, Mary Edgar to leave the room.

Mary didn't make it difficult for the doctor. She gave a hateful look to Aster and stomped out of the room.

"Ms. Edgar, after two weeks of recuperation here, we will be discharging you. Please take proper rest and co-operate with the medical staff. " The doctor told Aster and after that he left as well.

Left all alone, Aster recalled everything that has happened now. She tried to analyze the situation by trying to reach Katherine's memories but failed to do so.

Katherine's life is still fuzzy in her memories. She could only recall a few memories but those are trivial and useless to understand the current situation.

After this, no one visited her. Only her caretaker and her doctor's came in every two hours to check on her.

But the way they treated her felt familiar to Aster. This is how she was treated in her past life.

With respect, fear and caution.

She was treated in this manner in her past life because she is the princess, the only granddaughter of a great General, the only heir of wealth and power unimaginable. And, she is a genius who is worthy of respect even from the masterminds.

But in Katherine's case it seems to be otherwise. She is being treated with caution because she is a troublemaker, an arrogant and short tempered, rich kid who shouldn't be messed with.

Nevertheless, Aster didn't like it.

—---------------------

The next few days were peaceful. No one bothered her except for the medical staff who, like always, were very cautious with her.

And, she didn't make it any harder for them. She, herself, was busy and occupied with many other thoughts and worries.

She doesn't know how long it has been since the day she and Victor got ambushed.

She doesn't know if he is safe or not.

And, what started to bother her the most is her grandfather's well being.

Would he have managed to take her death well?

Would he be fine?

In the first place, does her grandfather know that she died?

What if he couldn't find her dead body and assumed that she was missing?

Fear started to engulf her when she thought about the consequences if the latter assumption is true.

The hell will break loose and her grandfather would go to any length to find her. He wouldn't care to destroy anything that is in his way.

Her grandfather has only two obsessions: power and his granddaughter.

But this is not the only tension she has. She is more worried about her life as Katherine June Edgar.

She has mixed feelings about this. She is grateful that she got a second chance but at the same time she is anxious about her future as June Edgar.

On top of that, she has no access to all memories of Katherine June Edgar. What she could recall is not important enough to analyze and understand the life of the owner of this body.

Katherine June Edgar is from one of the richest and reputed families.

However, her life is not so smooth compared to other rich heiresses.

Her mother died after giving birth to her. Because of his beloved wife's death, Katherine's father went into depression and shortly after that the company he founded with his wife bankrupted.

Not able to take the blow, he took his own life, leaving his seven years old daughter alone.

It was at that time, her paternal grandparents found her. They were searching for their son who left home fifteen years back and found her instead.

Heartbroken by their son's death, they blamed themselves for being late. They took her in and since then, she was spoiled by her grandparents and uncle.

Her cousins Thea, Myles, Margaret and Fiona were very good to her.

However, it didn't last long.

Thea, the eldest cousin of Katherine June Edgar, met with a terrible accident while trying to protect June.

Everyone blamed June as it happened because she got drunk and was out of control which led to a terrible accident.

Thea went into a coma after that and didn't wake up till now.

After that incident, Katherine June Edgar's life has changed.
