Chapter 1465
"I think Adie’s out. Margaret is worried about him and has gone to look for him," Abby said honestly. She wasn't surprised that
Adie had successfully snuck out; her smart brother was very careful, so she wasn't worried about him at all.
"What? Where did he go this time?" Renee asked anxiously. Adie was unusually clever, and it always made Renee worry.
However, in her current condition, she didn't know what she should do.
Luckily, at that moment, Margaret returned. She entered the house anxiously, still wearing her apron because Adie had snuck out
while she was cooking. "You're finally home, Ms. Ren! Please help me figure out where Adie has gone, I can't find him
anywhere..."
"Did he say anything before he left? Has he been acting strangely recently?" Renee frowned and asked.
Margaret sighed and said worriedly, "No, nothing of the sort, but he did think you'd gotten into trouble because you refused to
have a video call with him. He said that he wanted to save you, but I ignored him because I thought he was just influenced by
those superhero cartoons he watched ... It's all my fault. I was careless, and I thought he was just like any other kid, but he's not.
He's so smart that I'm sure he came up with a plan to find you."
Renee carefully headed over to Margaret, touching things
nearby to guide her, then patted Margaret's shoulder comfortingly. "Don't blame yourself, Margaret. I should be blamed for being
so careless and making you all worry about me."
Margaret frowned at Renee's odd behaviour, and observed Renee carefully. "What happened to you, Ms. Ren? Why are you
wearing sunglasses?"
"It's nothing. I hurt my eyes while I was hiking, and my sight was impaired temporarily. I've already seen the doctor, and he said I
just need to rest for a while.” Renee didn't want to tell Margaret and her two children about her blindness at the moment, or else
they would be heartbroken.
"Your sight was impaired?" Margaret covered her mouth in shock. "What happened to you, Ms. Ren? Let me see how serious it
is."
"No, it's okay..." Renee tried to stop Margaret again. "This is just temporary blindness, and it won't take long for me to recover.
It's best if we don't touch the area around my eyes because the doctor has just applied medicine on it, and we have to avoid
infections."
"Blind?" Margaret's eyes widened in horror, and she couldn't accept the cruel reality of it.
Abby was shocked too, and she immediately started to cry." You can't see anymore, Mommy? You can't see me anymore?"
"No, it's just temporary. My eyes will get better if I rest well." Renee leaned down and hugged Abby, then said soothingly,"
You're so cute-of course I want to see you! Don't worry about me. I was hurt before, but I got better too."
Abby stopped crying, but Margaret wasn't that easy to fool. After all, Margaret had exceptional medical skills, and she could
instantly tell that Renee's condition was serious.
However, she didn't want to worry Abby, so she just echoed Renee's words. "Yeah, I don't think it's very serious. She should get
better in two days, but even if she doesn't, I'll cure her."
Wiping away her tears, Abby pouted and mumbled, "Okay, I believe you. You have to get better, Mommy. By the way, you don’t
have to worry about Adie-he took his smartwatch with him. But if you're worried, you can call him."
"He has his smartwatch with him? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"
