99 Days Trapped in the Body of the Royal Prince’s Wife - Chapter 68
At 1 am, Nathan had arrived at his mansion. He immediately entered the room and saw Clara who immediately woke up when she noticed his arrival. The man looked weak and then sat on the bed while taking off his leather jacket.
“Where are you from?” asked Clara as she sat up.
“I followed Erick, he is the person I sent to take care of the case about Casey’s accident. but when I got there, he wasn’t there and I continued to search with the bodyguards until I found him in the forest with a body that was injured from the persecution, there was even a knife stuck in his stomach,” Nathan explained by bending his face.
Clara paused for a moment, swallowing her saliva. ‘Could this be all Oskar and Uncle Robert’s doing? How cruel they were… what was the reason for doing all this? That means it’s those who have done me harm too….they don’t want to be found out to harm the person investigating the case?’
“The results of the investigation are disappeared,” Nathan said, breaking Clara’s thoughts.
“Disappear?” Clara pretended to be surprised even though she knew that Fabrizio still had the evidence.
“Yeah, but maybe tomorrow I’ll hire another trusted person to investigate the case, to come to the investigation office for new evidence,” Nathan said hopefully. “This kind of thing makes me feel even more desperate to catch the real culprit so I can make sure Casey will be safe.”
“Thank you for caring about her,” Clara said with a faint smile. for some reason now she feels happy that Nathan is showing concern for her real body as Casey. ‘If only you knew I was Casey. Thank you for caring about me, and I hope you can help me uncover Uncle Robert’s crimes,’ she thought.
Nathan turned to Clara who was sitting behind him leaning against the headboard. “Why have not you gone to sleep yet?” he asked.
“Eh, I…” Clara suddenly had to find an excuse. “Of course, I couldn’t sleep because you suddenly left without saying goodbye and I don’t know where you went.”
“I immediately took Erick to the hospital. He has made it through his critical period but I haven’t had a chance to see him because he hasn’t been transferred…I decided to go home because I’m dizzy with all this, maybe tomorrow I’ll visit him,” Nathan explained then stood up. He walked towards the walk-in closet, while Clara was still on the bed.
Clara lay back down, then took her phone and immediately sent a message to Fabrizio.
Me: Do you know about what happened to my husband’s confidant? Are you also in danger because of this? Did the police and Oskar know that you have the results of the investigation? please answer immediately!
After successfully sending the message, Clara fell silent not knowing what else to do. She couldn’t even sleep, because her brain seemed to be forced to think hard about the problem.
‘Ugh, I even forgot to take Frederica’s hair. maybe tomorrow I can do it before she leaves,’ she thought.
Nathan, who had finished changing, came over to Clara. He lay beside his wife then hugged her very tightly and kissed her fragrant hair.
“When I’m dizzy, tired, hugging like this will make me comfortable,” he said then kissed Clara’s cheek. “You’re my best place,” he continued.
Clara fell silent with the comfortable feeling of the hug. She glanced at Nathan who now closed his eyes with a slight smile, making him look so charming. But it made her think of Michael who might not feel comfortable, even frustrated because he was waiting for her.
‘Could it be that he’s still often drunk out of frustration? Or has he gone back to normal and is now at my house? Hopefully not always close to Mia.’ Cara said to herself, then tilted her position so her back was to Nathan who fell asleep immediately.

At another place.
Fabrizio managed to find Ronald and then took him to Paulina’s rental. He deliberately brought the police there because his girlfriend’s rent house was very likely to be used as a hiding place. The man led the policeman to the main door of the house and knocked.
Knock ….knock… Knock…
“Paulina, open the door. It’s me, Fabrizio,” Fabrizio said, remembering Paulina who was always alert after leaving prison.
“Why did you take me to your girlfriend’s rental? Do you want me to live with her? What if I seduce her?” .ronald asked weakly, even his condition was very poor. The pants were still wet, but he was wearing a top that was a Fabrizio jacket.
“I wouldn’t be afraid of her being seduced by you because she was a very loyal girl. She will take care of you as long as you are sick, after you recover, maybe she will live in my apartment,” Fabrizio said casually, still in a position to support Ronald.
Check…
Open door…Paulina looks like she just woke up, wearing a dark blue pajama suit and letting her hair down just like that. She frowned when she saw Fabrizio with the injured man.
“Who’s he?” She asked…
“I’ll explain to you later..now please help me take care of him … Prepare a room for him because tomorrow morning I will call the doctor to check he will be treated here,” Fabrizio said seriously. He immediately leads Ronald to enter the rented apartment without waiting for Paulina’s approval.
“Take care of that man here?”
Paulina re-entered her apartment and locked the door. He followed Fabrizio who sat Ronald on the gray couch, then stood up straight again and looked at her.
“Who exactly is he?” asked Paulina.
“He is a policeman who had an accident due to someone mean to us. I am in very safe condition because the bad person did not know that I was involved in the investigation of this case. ..I want him to be here for a few days until I can prove the real culprit… He must stay here because his life continues to be in danger if that bad guy finds out that he’s still alive.” Fabrizio explained very seriously, then put his hands on Paulina’s shoulders. “I hope you don’t mind… Please help me this time so I can focus on proving that you too were only slandered about that poisoning case.”
“You don’t have to beg, I’ll help you,” said Paulina with a smile. “Then I will prepare a room for him, there happens to be an empty room,” she continued.
“Yeah, looks like I have to make coffee too,” said Fabrizio then walked towards the kitchen while Paulina prepared a room for Ronald.

Thinking that she had to find out if Frederica was Nathan’s daughter, Clara took advantage of the sleeping Nathan. Slowly she let go of her husband’s arms, then sat up. The woman opened the drawer on the table near the bed to get scissors.
‘Hopefully tomorrow he won’t notice that I cut his hair a bit,’ Clara thought.
very carefully and choosing the right part of the head, Clara cut a lock of Nathan’s hair. After that, he put the hair into a small transparent white plastic, then stored it under the table.
‘I’m sure he won’t suspect that there’s a packet of hair in there. Because there’s no reason for him to check under the table,’ Clara thought with a relieved smile.
After putting the plastic-filled hair under the bed, Clara lay down next to Nathan again. She tilted her position to stare at the man very intensely.
‘I hope that when this body dies, God will give your heart the strength to stay strong….I hope you can find a worthy true love to replace Clara’s place in your heart,’ she thought with a faint smile, but for some reason, there is a feeling of sadness when imagining how the man in front of her will be destroyed, even imagining about herself doesn’t know it will staylife enters the original body which is in a coma, or it will die.
