Chapter 280 A Tragic Accident
- However, Brian was tired of arguing with Rachael, feeling dismayed and disappointed as he walked out of the house with Belle. When Rachael saw the mother and son leave, she instantly lost her mind, thinking she might just lose Brian forever. She then rushed toward them and shoved Belle aside. "This is all your fault! It was you! Why did you have to drive a wedge between me and Brian? My husband and I were deeply in love with each other until you arrived. As soon as you were here, Brian wanted to divorce me. Why must you undermine our marriage and separate the two of us? Does it really please you to see my family broken apart?"
- Although Brian was seizing Belle's arm, he wasn't holding it really tight. Thus, when Rachael shoved the older lady from behind her, she staggered forward clumsily and lost her footing before falling down the stairs. While the stairs had only about five to six steps, Belle was too old and weak to sustain any injury caused by a fall like that. Therefore, as soon as she hit the ground, she moaned for a while, shortly before she took her last breath. At that moment, everyone froze upon seeing the accident, but Leigh was the first to react. She quickly shoved Brian aside and took big strides down the stairs to check on the older lady in a desperate attempt to rescue her.
- In the meantime, Madeline waved at Emory and beckoned her over. "Hurry up! Get the car here!" After Leigh did everything she could to stabilize Belle's condition, she told the rest to help carry the elderly lady into the car.
