Chapter 1669
Renee couldn't reach Stefan's phone, and he hadn't replied to any of her texts.
Although Renee was anxious, she believed that Stefan would be safe and return
when he had promised... but now she wasn't so sure. "He was lucky you were
there that day to save him, but will someone be there to help him if it happens
again? Will he..." Renee bit her lip, too frightened to think about it.
"Don't worry about him, he's strong. He won't get into accidents that easily. "
Quinton tried to comfort Renee and told her about their plan. "I discussed it with
him-I'm in charge of finding the Western Hills Fruit and Northern Lake Anaconda,
and he's in charge of finding the dragon's saliva. His task is more difficult than
mine, so naturally, he'll come home later than me."
Renee, however, could not stop overthinking. "Is the dragon's saliva even real? I
feel like Dr. Wagner is just trying to give me hope, and it doesn't actually exist.”
"Why not?" Quinton immediately fished out the three items he had placed in the
treasure box, then carefully brought Renee's hand to touch them." Just feel these
things. Their names might sound fantastical, but we did find them. Since the
dragon's saliva comes from a legend, it must be real too. All you need to do is to
wait for Stefan to come home with it."
"I hope so!" Renee touched the items softly. Although she couldn't see them, she
marveled at the way they felt. From the pearl, which was rumoured to be the
product of the clam spirit missing its lover, Renee could feel a penetrating
pureness. She was reluctant to part with it, and didn't want to destroy it to make
medicine. Stefan had risked his life for it too. The Western Hills Fruit was very
amazing too. It felt like human skin, and it had protrusions like fingers and toes.
As Renee touched it, she felt like it was responding. As for the Northern Lake
Anaconda, it felt like armor with a smooth, strong, but firm surface. It was said
that its price was sky- high, and many people yearned for it. Renee felt very
moved. "I'm sure you suffered a lot to get these, Quinton. I'll repay you well once
I'm cured.”
"Silly girl. You're my sister-I'd give up my heart for you if it could cure you."
Quinton didn't find it a problem. On the contrary, he felt that he was lucky to be
able to put in some effort to save Renee. He had suffered countless injuries to
get those items, and some of them had scarred him mentally too, but they felt like
medals since it was for Renee's sake.
On the other hand, Stefan did have it hard...
