?Chapter 546:
Trying to lift her spirits, she spoke up.
“Rachel, good news! We’ve made huge progress in the case. The evidence we gathered is solid. Once it reaches court, we’re practically guaranteed a win.”
Rachel managed a weak smile, but the weight of Jeffrey’s situation crushed any relief she might have felt.
“Sabrina, I appreciate your hard work on the case. Honestly, I do… but that’s not why I’m here today.”
Sabrina’s brows furrowed.
“What’s wrong?”
Rachel’s throat tightened.
“My brother—he… he went to Brian’s office today and… stabbed him.”
Her voice cracked as she struggled to get the words out.
“The police already took him away.”
Sabrina’s face froze in shock.
“Oh my god. How’s Mr. White? Is he—”
Rachel broke, the floodgates opening.
Her body trembled as tears filled her eyes.
“I don’t know! He lost so much blood… he looked so lifeless. I’m terrified, Sabrina. What if… what if he doesn’t make it?”
Her voice shattered mid-sentence.
“If he dies, I—I’d rather die with him. I can’t bear the thought of him leaving me alone.”
For the first time, Rachel let her walls copse, exposing every ounce of pain, fear, and heartbreak she’d been holding in.
Sabrina’s heart sank as she watched her friend unravel. Wordlessly, she grabbed a tissue and pressed it into Rachel’s trembling hands.
“Here. Dry your tears.”
“Sorry for the scene.”
“It’s alright.” Sabrina offered a gentle smile.
“I can understand you. Really, I do.”
Rachel’s voice quivered as she asked,
“Sabrina, what do I do now?”
Keeping a level head, Sabrina carefullyid out the situation.
“First, we need to find out his condition. That will directly impact your brother’s case.”
“But I can’t get near him,” Rachel muttered helplessly.
“His mother practically has the hospital on lockdown.”
“Which hospital is he in?”
Rachel told her, and without missing a beat, Sabrina pulled out her phone and began searching. Momentster, she looked up with a glint of hope in her eyes.
“I think I have a way.”
Rachel straightened, clutching onto the slightest shred of hope.
