?Chapter 491:


    “Thank you,” Rachel said with a smile.


    Sabrina nodded, opening her notebook. “Don’t mention it. Let’s go through everything that happened,” she said, settling into her role with ease.


    “Of course,” Rachel replied.


    Sabrina’s efficiency was evident; she had clearly honed her skills under Eric’s tutge. Within a short span, she managed to negotiate terms and secure Rachel’s release on bail, demonstrating her growingpetence as awyer.


    Sabrina ensured Rachel got home safely by sharing a cab with her. As they rode, she reassured her, “Rachel, it was a defensive act, and we have a solid case. Don’t worry too much.”


    “I trust your expertise,” Rachel replied, her voice tinged with unease.


    “But what if he ends up in a vegetative state or never wakes up?”


    “Let’s not jump to the worst conclusions,” Sabrina advised calmly. “Go home, try to rest, and I’ll be over in the morning to discuss our next steps.”


    “Alright,” Rachel agreed, though her worry lingered.


    Once home, Rachel tried to find sce in routine. She showered and changed, attempting to settle her nerves. However, sleep eluded her. Shey awake, her mind racing until her phone broke the silence. It was Sabrina, her tone both soothing and assured. “Rachel, I have good news. Charlie has regained consciousness, and his condition isn’t critical. You can breathe easier tonight.”


    Sabrina’s affirmation brought a wave of relief over Rachel. “Have you been at the hospital all this time just to update me?” she asked, her voice filled with both gratitude and concern.


    “Yes, I wanted to make sure you received the update as soon as possible,” Sabrina replied.


    Rachel was touched by her dedication. “Thank you so much, Sabrina. Yourmitment means a lot to me.”

    “It’s the least I can do,” Sabrina responded warmly. “You helped me get this opportunity with Eric, and that experience has been invaluable. Try to rest now, Rachel. I’ll leave you be.”


    “Actually, wait, Sabrina,” Rachel interjected, a thought crossing her mind. “I need to ask you something.”


    “Go ahead,” Sabrina encouraged.


    “For this case, I only want you as mywyer. Please keep this matter confidential.” Rachel’s tone was firm; she didn’t want anyone else involved.


    Sabrina understood the delicacy of the situation immediately.


    “Understood. Your privacy is my priority. I won’t involve Eric.”


    “Thanks again. And please, get some rest yourself.”


    With her mind finally at ease and her heart lighter, Rachel drifted off into a much-needed deep sleep, her worries momentarily put to rest.


    The following morning, Rachel stirred awake, her phone buzzing with notifications. The screen disyed a string of missed calls, some from Sabrina and the rest from the HR manager, Lisbeth Becker.


    Just as she was about to call back, Lisbeth’s name appeared again.


    “Hello, Lisbeth!” Rachel answered, her voice still tinged with drowsiness.
