“Err, Margaret. Why... did you come?”
Renee panicked a bit. She wanted to cover her leg injury.
“Stop covering that. You make me so worried!”
Margaret hugged Renee and started crying violently. “I know what silly things you did. How silly you are! You jumped into the
river for an unworthy man. Have you ever thought about your two kids, Mr. Everheart and even me? If anything happens to you, I
won’t be able to answer for it even if I pay a heavy price!”
“I’m sorry, Margaret. I was impulsive, so I didn’t think so far. Don’t worry. I’m all right. It’s nothing serious. It’ll cure in two days. It’s
just a minor affair!”
Renee patted her chest in a carefree manner.
“That’s no minor affair! That’s the river around the city, and it’s so high. There are jagged rocks at the bottom, and if you aren’t
careful, you could be smashed into mush. You would have regretted it very much then!”
“Okay, got it. I won’t be so impulsive now. After all, I’m your adorable kid. I want to listen to you.”
After that, she made funny faces at Margaret, just like what she did during her childhood. At last, she made Margaret laugh.
“But how did you learn about this?”
Renee always held back unpleasant news. Of course, she would keep this affair a secret and never expose it to her family so
they would not be worried.
“The guy named Jovan told me.”
When Margaret mentioned the Hunt family, her face sank immediately. She was full of despise for them. “He told me that you
jumped into the river to save Stefan, and you were on the verge of dying. He asked me to come to this ward to you so I can take
good care of you. I found he isn’t a good man from what he said.”
“Yes, he’s indeed not a good man. Just ignore him from now on.”
When Renee found that she could no longer keep it a secret, she had no choice but to tell Margaret the truth, including how
Francine and Seraphine plotted against her and how she escaped danger before she dived into the river.
“Margaret, you came in time. I want to ask if you have any idea what The Albus Order is. Why did those people claim that
member after they saw the herbal sachet you sewed for me? Not only did they let me go, but they vowed to work for me.”
“Er, that...”
Margaret averted her gaze as if she found it hard to broach.
“Just tell me. You’ve been working for me for so many years, and you’re even the nanny Grandma purposely appointed for me.
You’re like my second parent. You don’t have to hide anything from me.”
Renee could tell that Margaret found it difficult to broach, so she tried her best to eliminate her psychological pressure.
“Alas, Miss Ren, it’s not that I want to keep it a secret, but this affair is a bit embarrassing. Before my grandfather died, he asked
me not to get involved in it. In short, I’ve got to blame myself. Why didn’t I sew another pattern instead of the symbol of The
Albus Order...”
Margaret’s words made Renee more curious.
“So, you do know about The Albus Order, so... is your grandfather the leader of The Albus Order?”
Renee had long heard from her mother that Margaret was born into a medical family. Margaret’s great-grandfather was
exceptionally good at medical skills. So, Margaret followed his family’s steps and was good at curing difficult diseases.
When she was pregnant with Adie and Abby, her body became quite weak, so she had the risk of a miscarriage. She relied on
Margaret’s medicine solely to protect her children well until she was able to give birth to them.
“No, that’s not so.”
She heaved a long sigh and said slowly, “The leader of The Albus Order is my father instead of my grandfather, but he had long
been driven out of the Middleton family. My grandpa even announced to the public that my father was dead, but he is in fact
leading a secluded life. He no longer cares about worldly affairs, but The Albus Order he founded is very famous in the world. It
also saved a lot of seriously ill people.”
“What? Your father is the leader of The Albus Order?”
Renee widened her eyes in deep amazement.
