She’s Back, and Hell’s Coming with Her novel Chapter 218

She suggested that Sabrina be officially placed under her care for the time being.

After that, they would simply let fate decide what happened next.

Even though Sommer disagreed, she couldn’t win against Octavia’s persistence, so the matter was settled.

That arrangement lasted until Sabrina’s first birthday.

Then Octavia fell seriously ill and was hospitalized.

Sabrina returned to live with Sommer once again.

Octavia’s illness lingered for over half a year before she finally recovered.

Afterwards, seeing that nothing bad had befallen the Sutton family in her absence, Octavia decided it was time for Sabrina to stay with her mother again.

After all, a child needs her mother. No amount of love from a grandmother could ever replace that.

Still, Octavia came to check on Sabrina every morning as soon as she woke up.

The loss of her granddaughter devastated Octavia, and she was bedridden with grief for many days.

She had considered accepting Celine as her own.

But after two years of trying to bond, Octavia realized the girl was cunning and manipulative—always putting on a show, twisting the truth to suit her needs.

Caleb, four years older than Celine, couldn’t keep up with her schemes even if he tried.

When Octavia finished telling the story, guilt and regret weighed heavily on her heart.

She should never have repeated the monk’s words all those years ago. If she hadn’t, maybe Sommer wouldn’t have believed Sabrina was a curse. Maybe she would have treated her better. Maybe they wouldn’t have adopted other children at all.

The reason she left her shares to Sabrina came down to three things.
