Chapter 1658
Stefan was silent as he looked at the list of herbs, then said, "Wait for me to come back!" He exited Owen's office, staring at the
herbs. It was a good thing manpower and resources were not limited thanks to his positionsomething so trivial couldn't stop him.
The first thing he wanted to find was the Southern Oceanic Stone. He felt that it was the easiest to find because it was just an
older pearl.
He made his preparations and bade Renee goodbye before setting off. "I might be gone for a while this time, maybe about a
week. Stay here, and we'll keep in touch. When I'm back, you'll be cured," Stefan said gently as he hugged Renee.
Renee's pain was numbed because she had just taken a painkiller, so she was in rather good spirits. "I heard from Dr. Wagner
about the herbs you have to find. Do they really exist?" Renee was worried that Stefan was going on a pointless search-dragons
only existed in legends. "I doubt Dr. Wagner would lie because he knows we're already so stressed and I'm terminally ill. Was he
trying to give US hope?"
"I don't care if they're real or not, I have to try. If I don't, I'll regret it my whole life." Stefan gripped Renee's fingers, looking
determined. He was not someone who'd admit defeat, and his woman was waiting for him to save her. Even if the chance of
success was slim, he had to try.
"I'm sure it'll be dangerous to get these things," Renee leaned against his chest and said worriedly. "Why don't you stay? I'm
already very satisfied having you and the kids with me. I don't want you to take these risks."
"No, it's not enough!" Stefan protested. ’I don't want to see you in pain. I want us to be healthy, happy, and not have to worry
about anything." He had only two wishes right now-he wanted to cure her and find a pair of suitable eyes for her so she could
see again. If he didn't fulfill those, he wouldn't be at peace.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to save me, my knight," Renee said teasingly. She knew she couldn't change his mind, so there was no
point in trying. Even if the herbs weren't real, Stefan would feel better if he had at least tried to search for them.
"Right. I'll be back soon." Stefan leaned down and kissed Renee's forehead gently.
As Stefan got up to leave, Renee suddenly thought of something. "By the way, how did you get the list of ingredients of the
poison? Your answer was a little vague that day... Did something happen?"
Stefan's heart sank, and he couldn't move. What happened that day had been troubling him, and it was a ticking time bomb for
his relationship with Renee. He could live happily as long as it was never brought up again." Didn't I tell you? Tess told me. She
went to the culprit and asked about the poison," Stefan replied vaguely.
