Bárbara tried to explain her sister’s situation, but it was no use. “Obviously they didn’t care, they were completely hallucinating,” the influencer reported.
Given the situation, Gracyanne said she was worried about the possibility of the injury worsening. “I kept thinking that if I had to run away, I would have to have surgery again, open up the knee.”
Despite the scare, the influencer declared that she and her sister are fine. “We chase material goods. The important thing is that we are well and that nothing serious has happened. As sad and scared as I feel, I am sure that God has protected us all the time”, he concluded.
