Chapter 2344
The result, however, was disappointing.
Kaia had also passed away, and it had been eight years since her death.
Aldor Hart said, "This woman named Kaia and Dillon both worked at the same hospital back then. They were college friends and started working together. Colleagues from that time recalled that they had a particularly close relationship, always helping each other out. After Dillon resigned, Kaia continued working at the hospital until she passed away.
"The cause of death was a myocardial infarction. It was quite sudden. She had a heart attack at home, and by the time her daughter was discharged from the hospital, Kaia's body had already stiffened."
Aldor paused and then added, "One more thing, Kaia was once a donor to the Eastern Alley Welfare Center."
Stella and Keegan exchanged glances, and Keegan asked, "Are you sure?"
Aldor nodded. "Kaia wasn't originally from Rivera and didn't have many relatives there. Her daughter had congenital heart disease, which put a lot of financial pressure on her. Her husband couldn't cope and divorced her before their daughter even started elementary school. She raised her daughter alone. When she died, her daughter had just undergone a heart transplant surgery and was about to be discharged. They waited all day for her, but she never came. Friends who went to take her daughter home found out she had passed away.
"Her hometown was far away, and she had no relatives left. Her friends and colleagues took care of her funeral. They found the donation records while sorting through her belongings after her death. She had been donating since 1999, with a total of three donations amounting to 300,000, the last one being eighteen years ago."
Stella pursed her lips, "With her daughter being sick and her financial pressure so high, did she really have spare money to donate to the welfare center?"
It was clear that the money wasn't hers. It was likely donated on behalf of someone else, most likely Dillon, who was far away abroad.
Keegan asked, "When Aunt Freesia was giving birth, was Kaia in the hospital?"
Aldor shook his head, having investigated this point thoroughly. "When Mrs. Saun was giving birth, Kaia had been sent to work in a rural area. She had just passed her primary doctor's exam, and the hospital had a rule requiring a year of rural service. She wasn't in Rivera at that time."
No wonder Kaia didn't appear in her brother's initial investigation. She wasn't a participant, but she was likely an insider. However, with her now gone, it's impossible to know how much she knew.
Dillon never sought out Kaia after returning to the country, likely because of her current identity. She was no longer Dillon but Paul, a man. Stella imagined herself in a similar situation and thought she probably wouldn't want to meet old acquaintances either. So why did she now want to find Dillon?
Unable to understand, she turned and saw Keegan frowning, deep in thought.
Stella patted his arm and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Keegan was silent for a while before saying, "Stella, if Kaia was an insider, then up to now, isn't it true that except for your brother finding Venice Taylor, all the others are dead?"
Stella was taken aback.
Indeed, although Dillon was alive, her original identity had been erased in the fire eighteen years ago. From NôvelDrama.Org.
And Venice, although the only living participant from back then, knew very little useful information and would never return to the country. Perhaps that's why she survived?
If that's the case, was Kaia's death really an accident?
The more she thought about it, the more Stella felt a chill run down her spine.
