After that, Briar boldly stood on tiptoe and hooked her arms around Stefan's neck.

Stefan remained silent and didn’t push Briar away. His thoughts were unknown.

Renee woke up from heart-wrenching pain the next day.

"Stefan, Stefan..." She subconsciously shouted Stefan's name. Her pain had subsided a little ever

since Stefan had found out about it, and she even considered him her painkiller, but something felt off

today. Stefan always appeared whenever she called for him, but she had heard nothing from him since

yesterday. She had no idea where he was.

"What do you need help with, Ms. Ren?” Margaret rushed into the room when she heard Renee crying

out pitifully. She felt very sorry for Renee.

"Margaret, it hurts. It hurts so much..." Renee stopped acting strong when she heard Margaret's voice,

and burst into tears. Margaret was the nanny who had raised Renee, and often acted like Renee's

mother. People needed their mothers the most when they were in pain.

"I'm here, Ms. Ren. I'm here..." Sobbing, Margaret held Renee's hand and felt her pulse. She became

very worried. "Oh, my! Your pulse is a mess, you must be in terrible pain. The poison has to be

removed soon!" Margaret was aware that someone had poisoned Renee, and had been trying her best

to come up with an antidote, but she needed to know the components of the poison. The medicine she

made could only relieve pain temporarily and help with Renee's concentration, but it could not eliminate

the poison in her body. Margaret saw Renee's health getting worse, and her faint pulse filled Margaret

with helplessness. Renee had such a difficult life, and when something good finally came around, this

happened... If her late parents knew, they would not be able to rest in peace.

"Margaret, where is Stefan? Ask him to come here. I want him!" Renee became muddle-headed

because of the pain, and kept asking for Stefan like a child wanting their favorite toy.

"Umm... Mr. Hunt is out. Just wait for a little longer, okay? He might be busy with work." Margaret knew

that Stefan hadn't returned since yesterday. She’d tried calling him but he had switched off his phone. It

disappointed her since Renee was going through so much pain.

"No, he said he would be with me. He said he wanted to share my pain. He wouldn't leave me alone...

He... Did something happen to him?" Renee knew Stefan well. She could tell that he was no longer in

the mood to work, so it was not because of his work that his phone was unreachable.

"He is my medicine, Margaret... Please help me get him. I'm in so much pain. I want him here with me."

Renee writhed in pain on the bed. All she knew was that she wanted Stefan by her side...
