80% Nirvana - Rebirth of a Genius / Chapter 4: Rich, arrogant and lazy sloth

Chapter 4: 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.


CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Har_V Har_V

Sorry guys. I was making changes in the story plot a little. That is the reason I have deleted the previous chapters.

I hope the current story plot will make the book more entertaining.

Thank you for the patience.

Chapter 5: Her first action.

A week passed.

No one came to visit her.

She later found out from the doctor that June's grandfather had warned everyone not to disrupt his beloved granddaughter's recuperation.

Because of this, Aster had enough time to think about everything.

She couldn't recall all of June's memories but she had enough access to understand that she had to do something about these missing memories.

Otherwise, she will be in big trouble. Besides that, she could tell that Katherine's family is not harmonious and there will be high chances of scheming.

So, she needs to protect herself until she adjusts to this life.

And, this is where her past life's perks came into use.

She might have stayed in the castle all her life and didn't meet many people. But that doesn't mean she has no network.

She in fact has powerful and extremely useful connections.

She is a born genius. And, on top of that, thanks to her grandfather, she was taught many things in her sixteen years of secluded life.

She had the top professors in the world as her teacher's.

Starting from self defense to hacking, she mastered all of them. And, she didn't stop there.

In her free time, she started to explore the online world. She didn't leave even a single corner.

With her skills, she even accessed many confidential and highly secured parts of the web.

It is how she met some wonderful people online. Over the years of friendship and mutual trust, they have become a team who help each other and support each other.

However, they never shared any personal information about each other.

They have created their own communication channel with layers of protection and security. It is designed in a manner only the team members can get access to.

As it doesn't ask for retinal scan or biometric or any of such sort, Aster logged into it and right away asked for help.

Her first request was to dig up every information about Katherine June Edgar and her family. As a hacker, she can do it with a snap of her finger but she decided to act cautious and not take any direct actions.

Her other request was to tamper with the future medical reports and scans of this body and falsify that she has amnesia and couldn't recall some of her memories, especially the recent ones.

Her teammates/friends right away agreed to the requests without further questions. This is something they always follow.

When anyone requests something, they will do it without any further questions.

For the next few days, all Aster did was act.

—--------------

After a few days…

"What's wrong with my granddaughter?" an anxious voice was heard from the corridor.

"Ms. Edgar was fine last week, Chairman. However, in this recent MRI scan, we detected that Ms. Edgar is suffering with amnesia." Aster heard a doctor speak.

"That means you people didn't take care of my granddaughter well! It's been a week since she woke up and no one has identified any changes in her!!" Katherine's grandfather shouted at the doctors again.

"Ms. Edgar has not spoken much in the past few days. When we enquired we were told that it is how she usually is. Moreover, her previous medical reports didn't show any traces of amnesia." Aster heard another brave doctor say.

Noticing that these people are about to open the door to her room, Aster closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. She is not yet ready to face Katherine's grandfather.

Maybe because of the remnant left in the body, she could feel some emotions whenever she saw these people close to June. And, it looks like June is more connected to her grandfather that Aster started to feel heavy in her heart.

Not only because of the remnant but she herself started to get emotional as this reminded her of her own grandfather, General Caesar.

"So, my granddaughter lost some of her memories?" This time the voice is gentler and distressed at the same time.

"She has forgotten most of her recent memories, Mr. Edgar. When we asked her a few questions, she was able to answer most of the questions, however her memories from the past four years started to get fuzzy. We suggest you give her enough time and not to stress her much about anything." a doctor whispered to June's grandfather making sure to stay as quiet as possible.

"And, we suggest you to not cause her any emotional distress. We are afraid she will have to face terrible consequences otherwise." another doctor added.

Meanwhile, Aster smiled in triumph. She felt bad for playing with someone's emotions but this is the plausible idea that stuck her mind

Fortunately, her teammates are really efficient in their work. They did exactly what she asked them to do.

Fooling doctors and making them say this is not an easy task but they did it as if it is a cakewalk to them.

Deciding to thank them later, Aster continued her pretense.
