Rachel's legs were already broken. Yet, she was crying about Bradley instead!
Even Sheila, as her mother, was speechless at this moment.
She didn't know that Rachel had yet to feel the pain because the anesthesia hadn't worn off. That was why the first thing she thought of was what Bradley told her in the car.
Even though he had only broached the topic, Rachel knew what he meant.
He clearly wanted to dump Rachel because that slut Shannon had become a member of the Jensen family.
It was all Shannon's fault.
Even after she had left the Gray family, she still wanted to steal what belonged to Rachel.
But Bradley wasn't a good man either. What a douchebag!
In the end, any man who had feelings for a woman like Shannon couldn't be a good man!
Rachel looked furious. But she didn't know that after hearing what she said, Francis felt that these incidents must have something to do with what Shannon had mentioned back then.
Rachel's destined calamity hadn't been successfully averted. It was still there.
That was why she had continuous nightmares, got dumped by Bradley, and even got into a car crash.
With so many events happening almost at the same time, it was just like what happened to Rachel when she was little.
Also, Sheila wasn't being herself that night. If Shannon had done something to make Sheila say everything she meant without being able to hold back, Shannon would certainly know what was going on.
If not, how would she know about them changing astrological houses to ward off calamity? She even managed to stop them from successfully changing Rachel's astrological house!
With that thought in mind, Francis found it hard to breathe. Instinctively, he glanced at Rachel's wrist. Seeing nothing on her wrist, he quickly asked, "Rachel, where's your grandma's bangle?"
"It's at home. Why are you asking about it?"
Heartbroken, Sheila almost teared up. She hugged Rachel and said, "There are plenty of talented people in this world. Asking for that bitch's help isn't the only solution anyway. Besides, what would that bitch know?
"If she's so capable, she wouldn't have been staying at our place to ward off Rachel's calamity for 18 years. She probably said that nonsense on purpose. She aims to humiliate Rachel and trick us into giving her Rose's bangle!"
Francis looked at Sheila with a frown. But he didn't argue with her immediately. Clearly, he had the same concern.
Right then, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside.
It was Connor. He had rushed over after hearing what happened and heard everything outside the door.
"If she wants Grandma's bangle, just give it to her. Nothing's more important than Rachel's life. I'll deliver the bangle to her myself."
Connor's tone was steady and confident. He didn't think of it as a big deal.
He was Shannon's brother for 18 years, after all. He believed that Shannon wouldn't turn him down as long as he spoke up.
