Chapter 1060
As she continued grinding the coffee bit by bit, Renee felt satisfied, but also frowned deeply due to the pain in her
wrist.
Just then, footsteps could be heard behind her. It was Yulia, and she screamed as soon as she noticed the wounds
on Renee's wrist. "Ren, what are you doing? Just look at your hands! Let the staff do this for you!"
"I'm alright, Mrs. Walker, I'm not that fragile." Renee smiled weakly and proceeded.
"No, you're not. You're already bleeding through the gauze! Do you not cherish your own life?" Despite her usual
gentleness, Yulia couldn't help but feel angered by Renee's recklessness.
She then snatched the grinder out of her hands and sighed." Oh child, you're just so foolish. How could you use your
own blood for his medicine? If your mother knew that you hurt yourself over a man, she would be devastated!"

you would too, if Mr. Walker needed it, right?"
"Well..." Yulia couldn't retort, but still flashed her a concerned frown. "If you really need human blood as an
ingredient, our sanatorium's blood bank has more than enough. You could have told me sooner! Why did you have
to use your own? Now that you risked your own health, how could we possibly face your parents in the afterlife?"
' Mrs. Walker, I understand your concerns. But the medicine requires blood from a person who genuinely loves the
patient to take effect, not just anyone's blood. And as you can see, it does work very well, so I don't regret my
decision at all. In fact, I'm very happy about this."
Renee had always felt like she wronged Stefan in many ways. Hence, being able to use her blood in his cure, was
quite an achievement for her. In a way, it had also proved that she still loved him deeply within her soul, or else the
medicine wouldn't have been so effective.
Yuia, however, scoffed. "Don't try to trick me, Ren, I graduated from the world’s most prestigious medical school as
well. And I have never heard of such an odd cure. If you ask me, this is nothing but superstition that specifically
targets innocent girls like you."
"Well, whatever it is, it works." Renee didn't want to argue, so she tried to take the grinder back from Yulia so that
she could continue.
For the medicine, they had to collect blood from her wrist. Every single time they needed more, they had to cut the
wounds back open, then bandage them back up.
Having done this many times, she felt like she was about to lose the motor skills in her hands soon enough. Making
coffee usually wasn’t so difficult, as she was in a lot of pain.
"You're still going at it? Can't you see your wounds have torn open!?" Yulia was adamant in stopping her. "I'll help
you do it. Grinding coffee beans isn't a task required from someone who genuinely loves him now, is it?"

Renee gently rubbed her aching wrists and nodded. "Thanks, Mrs. Walker."
Even though she was the vice dean of the sanatorium, Yulia was patient enough to grind up these rough beans, so
much so that she was starting to sweat.
The two women soon engaged in idle chit chat.
Renee abruptly remembered something and asked, "Mrs. Walker, you were my mother's best friend, so... you
should know about my brother, right?"
Yulia froze upon hearing this, and visibly panicked. "Oh child, why are you asking this all of a sudden? You... You did
have a brother, but he was a stillborn. That's why your parents hid it from the public, including you as well. How did
you find out about this?"
"So that means you knew about my mother having twins, and that I have a brother, right?" Renee seemed excited
and continued questioning her. "Then do you know what happened back then? Who was the damned culprit who
wouldn't even show mercy to a newborn?"
