When Rachelle heard that, she slightly lowered her gaze. Looking at the infant spirit floating in front of her, she stayed silent for a moment. In the end, she gritted her teeth as she spoke in a trembling voice.
"I choose the second option."
With that, Rachelle seemed to have lost all her energy as her body swayed a little. As she looked at the bewildered infant spirit before her, tears streamed uncontrollably down her face again.
"I'm sorry… It's not that… I don't want you…"
But she was only 18.
She still had a long life ahead of her.
If she kept this spirit around, she would never be able to forget the pain Hansel inflicted on her.
She wanted to start over.
She wanted to live a life where Hansel no longer existed.
"I'm sorry, baby. I can't keep you around. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…"
Near the end of her sentence, Rachelle started sobbing and couldn't say a word.
Before they knew it, the infant spirit began floating in mid-air. It seemed lost and helpless as it looked at its mother. Its entire being was filled with bewilderment.
Then, as Rachelle choked up, she spoke the last sentence.
"I don't want you anymore. Just… go away."
When the infant spirit heard it, its tiny body seemed to tremble violently. Shannon lowered her gaze a little, but she was looking at the thin string between the infant spirit and Rachelle. No one else could see that string.
When Rachelle said those words, the string seemed to have suddenly broken from the center.
After the string broke, it disappeared without a trace.
Shannon raised her hand. A ray of mystic light shot out of her palm and wrapped around the infant spirit.
This time, the infant spirit didn't resist.
Hector had witnessed Shannon's capabilities in person, and he also knew that she was busy every day. However, Adam was clueless about it.
If Adam hadn't accidentally heard that Shannon was taken to the police station, he wouldn't even have known that Shannon and Scott were involved in the underaged bullying incident online.
Still, he was glad to see Shannon getting along well with Scott.
He knew that his daughter was a lovable woman.
That was what he thought, but Adam remained indifferent on the surface.
Hector asked, "Do you have anything else to do after this?"
Shannon thought for a moment. She currently had nothing to do aside from the infant spirit case.
As for sending the infant spirit away, it wasn't an urgent matter, so Shannon shook her head.
"That's great, then. Dad said that ever since you returned to our family, we haven't hung out together yet. Since we're free today, why don't we all go shopping and have fun together?" Hector spoke with a smile, his tone sounding gentle and reserved.
