She’s Back, and Hell’s Coming with Her novel Chapter 299

Hearing Stella’s reply, Sabrina finally let out a breath she didn’t realize she’d been holding.

As long as Grandma was safe, that was all that mattered.

She considered locking Hester up first, then waiting until Grandma woke to get the full story and decide what to do with her. But the more she thought about it, the less sense it made.

It wasn’t just Hester she needed to guard against—Celine was just as dangerous.

If she left the hospital to go after Hester, what if Celine showed up and tried to hurt Grandma again?

For the first time, Sabrina truly felt how few people she could actually rely on.

Jocelyn was trustworthy, but she had her own family, children to worry about—Sabrina didn’t want to drag her into this mess.

Bryce? They weren’t close enough for the level of trust she needed.

And then there was the fact that Hester wasn’t some outsider. She was family. Mishandle this, and her entire plan for revenge could come crashing down.

In the end, if Hester was going to be dealt with, Sabrina needed to do it herself.

Grandma would wake up the day after tomorrow. By then, Marina’s health would have improved enough that she could take over watching Grandma, which would finally free Sabrina up to deal with Hester.

Just two more days. Hester could enjoy her borrowed time.

Stella didn’t leave the hospital until nine that night.

Sabrina was utterly exhausted. She hadn’t rested properly since going to Glenwood, and now, with everything happening to Grandma, the fatigue hit her hard.

Unable to fight it, she ended up dozing off in a chair beside the bed, barely making it through the night.

The next morning, as she headed to the bathroom to wash her face, she realized her period had started—and she hadn’t brought anything with her.

Not only did she need fresh clothes, but her pants were stained, so she’d have to shower as well.

Just then, Desmond arrived to check on Octavia.

Hester pushed open the door, her voice sugary sweet. “Dad.”

Desmond nodded. “You’re here.”

“Yeah, I just stopped by to see Mom. She’s been recovering well these past few days—why don’t you go up and check on her?”

At that, Octavia’s heart leapt in her chest. She knew exactly what Hester was trying to do—get Desmond out of the room.

Sabrina had warned her to keep her emotions hidden, and she’d done her best, but Hester’s words sent a ripple of panic through her eyes.

If Desmond left, and no one else was around, Hester would have free rein to do as she pleased.

Desmond waved a hand dismissively. “No, I’m here to keep your grandmother company. I’ll go see your mom later.”

“Dad, you’re so biased,” Hester pouted. “Mom’s been stuck in this hospital bed for days, and you finally visit, yet you don’t even go see her? If she knew, she’d be heartbroken.”

Desmond hesitated. He hadn’t actually thought of that.
