In the middle of the night, a black luxury car drove fast across the winding mountain roads, as if it were a phantom. It seemed to
be heading towards the deepest corners of the forest.
Renee was holding the steering wheel with one hand, drifting through a 90 degree curve perfectly with ease.
She then looked at the rear view mirror, staring at the man laying in the back of her car. He seemed to be heavily affected by the
sedative, remaining fast asleep despite the speed and bumps throughout their ride.
‘Tsk tsk, Francine sure is cruel. How could she give her son such heavy drugs? Isn’t she afraid that it might affect his brain?’
Renee thought to herself, then called the dean of Greenwood Sanatorium, Sebastian Walker.
“Mr. Walker, I’m almost there. Sorry for the trouble, we might occupy the sanatorium for quite a while.”
Sebastian, who was on the other end of the line, was warm and friendly. “Hey Ren, why are you being so polite with your old
Uncle Walker? I was best friends with your father, you know? And he used to be one of our sanatorium’s shareholders! I’d
happily let you stay forever, let alone just a while!”
“Thank you so much, Uncle Walker.” Renee felt reassured by his words.
The Greenwood Sanatorium was a hidden, high-end sanatorium within the mountains. It catered exclusively to the privileged,
and was not open to the public, which was why many didn’t know of its existence.
The place was abundant with vegetation. It was tranquil and elegant at the same time, with various precious herbs and a high
concentration of negative ions. Not only that, it was equipped with the most advanced medical facilities.
More importantly, the dean, Sebastian, was a trustworthy person. He supported Renee’s decision unconditionally, risking
bankruptcy as he cleared the entire sanatorium to serve Stefan alone.
“Don’t worry, Stefan, we have everything here. I will make sure you get better, no matter what!” She stared at the man lovingly,
making a promise to him.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of the sanatorium, and several vintage buildings appeared before their eyes.
Sebastian and his staff had been waiting for their arrival for a while, and with them was Margaret, who quickly rushed over to
welcome Renee.
“Miss Ren, you’re finally here! You have no idea how worried I was the entire time, I didn’t even dare to blink!” Margaret said,
gasping as soon as she noticed Stefan in the backseat. “You’re amazing, you actually did it! You brought him over all on your
own!”
“Oh, I was just lucky. They were having some internal conflict, and I lucked out with him being unconscious.” Renee shrugged,
smiling as if she had just won the lottery.
“I was initially thinking that it’d be hard to force him out since he’s pretty tall and agile, so I was going to knock him out before
taking him away. But coincidentally, Francine ordered a young girl to drug his tea, and I just took the chance...”
“Maybe this is indeed fate. Miss Ren, please follow your heart, I won’t stop you anymore.” Margaret sighed deeply, choosing to
compromise. At first, she didn’t support Renee in saving Stefan at all. After all, the man was a ticking time bomb. Not only would
saving him not bring her any good, she might put herself in danger by doing so as well. Hence, she had been persuading Renee
to just hand the recipe over to them and to leave them alone.
Despite her efforts, seeing how heartbroken and dejected Renee clearly seemed, Margaret’s stance softened, which was how
the current situation came to be...
