The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 1085
"Hey, Stefan. Stop messing around, don't scare me!" Renee felt that something was rather off. Her slender face instantly turned
pale as she checked the man's breathing.
'It's a good thing that he was still breathing... albeit weakly.'
This indicated that the man wasn't pranking her this time. He was truly feeling quite weak.
"Someone, please help!" she shouted in panic.
Soon, the sanatorium staff rushed over, taking Stefan into the infirmary.
Renee, on the other hand, followed closely behind. She was out of breath, her mind completely drawing blanks as she didn't
know what to do.
Having just recovered not long ago, Renee was in rather bad shape as well. She didn't understand how Stefan, who had been
making great progress a while ago, would have fallen so ill in just the span of three days.
"Peggy, what's happening? Wasn't Stefan close to recovering? Why..." Renee grabbed hold of a nurse who had been taking care
of Stefan's basic necessities and asked desperately.
"Well..." Peggy seemed rather uneasy, avoiding the woman's gaze.
Margaret had specifically requested her to not tell Renee that they were out of the "special ingredient.' Thus, she didn't dare to
say anything, either.
"Don't be afraid, just tell me everything! I have your back! If this worsens Stefan's condition, the only thing you'll face is harsher
consequences!" Renee warned her coldly after noticing Peggy's hesitation.
"Uhm, Miss Everheart, if you just have to know, I'll tell you. The special ingredient for Mr. Hunt's medicine had long run out while
you were unconscious."
"Margaret didn't continue collecting your blood since she didn't want you to suffer any further. So... that's why Mr.
Hunt’s condition deteriorated." Peggy then shook her head." But these really are just our assumptions. It might not exactly be the
actual reason. So please don't take it to heart. r»

"I knew it! I knew the special ingredient ran out long ago!" Renee glanced at the infirmary door, then turned back to the nurse.
"Stand guard here, and report back to me as soon as anything happens."
After that, she rushed towards the medicine department, coincidentally bumping straight into Jovan, who had just finished doing
the laundry.
"Hey girl, you don't have to be so eager as to show me how touched you feel. You don't have to rush things!" Jovan held her
shoulders gently and smiled lightly.
"Get out of the way, I don't have time for you!" Renee pushed him off and continued running toward the medicine department, not
wanting to talk at all.
Jovan furrowed his brows, not pestering her any further, and followed silently.
Within the medicine department, Margaret was racking her brain to find a new medicinal recipe according to Stefan's condition.
Her father had only written to use the blood of loved ones as a special ingredient, with no other substitutes.
However, with the situation at hand, there was no way she would use Renee's blood anymore, even if it meant that they would
potentially fall out.
That was why she had been trying out different herbs in hopes that one could replace the original 'special ingredient.'
"Margaret!" Renee flung the door open, clearly upset.
"Miss... Miss Ren, what's wrong?" Margaret hid the herbs behind her, seemingly guilty as she flashed her an unnatural smile.
Renee immediately rolled her sleeves up, wasting no time to rush Margaret. "Stefan has fainted. His condition is critical. No more
nonsense, just... blood! My blood!"
