After Mary came into the room to tidy the small table, Gloria came in hugging a big box.

Initially, Rachel was trying to figure out what fancy new toy Gloria brought along; she was surprised to see her taking out an old CD player to put on the cupboard opposite the bed.

“The music played by an old CD player makes people feel calm and peaceful. I heard from Dr. Peters that you have insomnia, so you can try this out.”

As Rachel held onto her phone, her face turned sour.

She couldn’t accept what Gloria said of him. Rachel only knew that Justin was the one who broke Hans’ leg, captured Grandpa Irwin, and decided to marry Amber. Nobody forced him to do any of that.

To put it simply, he was just a possessive scumbag who’d do anything to reap benefits from it.

“Rachel, do you know how Justin got the scar on his face?”

‘How did he get it?’
