However, Margaret appeared fearful. She held Renee�s hand and said agitatedly, �Miss Everheart, what do you mean? Did I do something bad? Why are you trying to drive me away? Please don�t drive me away. Madam Everheart saved my family. Grandpa told me since I was young that my mission is to protect the Everhearts. I�m used to taking care of you. If you want to get rid of me, I� I can only kill myself as a form of apology.�

�Uhh, you got me wrong, Margaret. I feel that you must have a more important mission, given your status as the daughter of an exceptional physician. It�s a waste of your talent to make you take care of Adie, Abby, and me. At the end of the day, you�ll have to inherit your father�s business as well as The Albus Order. So, your life will be worth living.�

�That�s not true.�

Margaret said resolutely, �He and I are different. He�s been driven out of the Middleton family. So, regardless of how big his organization grows and how high a status it enjoys in the world, it has nothing to do with me. I�ve cut off my relationship with him forty years ago. I don�t see him as my father, and I never want to see him again.�

�Margaret, don�t be mad.�

It was the first time she was seeing the gentle and kind Margaret get so angry. Her aloofness made it seem as if she was not talking about her father but her sworn enemy. So, Renee naturally did not force Margaret anymore. She hurriedly comforted her instead. �I want you to stay with my kids and me for the rest of our lives if you don�t want to leave. I�ve long regarded you as my closest family.�

�Miss Ren, thank you. My family was once glorious, but I�m the only one left now. My fate is almost the same as yours, but� the person who nearly exterminated my family was none other than my own father. So, I vowed never to contact him or have anything to do with him for the rest of my life!�

When Margaret reached that point, she revealed a painful expression. Her slightly aging body shuddered slightly. However, Renee was filled with more shock. �Exterminate?�

�Yes, extermination. Even our dogs got implicated.�

Margaret nodded and didn�t want to recall much. She sobbed and said, �I don�t want to mention this affair again because it tortured me for too many years. Miss Everheart, I hope you can understand.�

�Of course!�

Renee knew more than anyone else how excruciating and desperate it was to see one�s family getting ruined before their own eyes. Margaret hid that scar for almost forty years. The wound had stopped hurting so bad, and if Renee wanted to expose it again, it would be too cruel.

Margaret was an outstanding physician, in addition to her meticulous studies of medical science through the years. Although she was not a divine physician, she could be considered the top medical expert in the world.

She inspected Renee�s injury carefully before she prescribed herbs for Renee based on Renee�s body condition.

Renee obediently consumed the medicine. Consequently, her injury, which was supposed to only heal in half a month, was almost cured in less than three days.

At first, she could not move at all. After that, she could get out of bed and move around alone. Even her attending doctor claimed that it was a miracle.

�Margaret, thank you for your medicine. It�s too magical. I can get out of bed on my own now.�

Renee rested for three days before she felt energetic again. She felt like she was reborn. She then carefully asked Margaret, �Did you help me keep it a secret from my brother?�

While tidying up the room for Renee, Margaret said confidently, �Miss Ren, don�t worry. I told Mr. Everheart that you�re in a bad mood recently, so you�re leading a secluded life away from others. You don�t want to see anyone. He claimed that he could understand your feelings and asked me to take good care of you. He�ll take care of Adie and Abby.�

Hearing that, Renee felt much relieved. �I did such a silly thing and got hospitalized. If he knows, he�ll definitely give me a good scolding. So we can�t let him know. What�s more, I can�t contact him anytime soon.� JrNovels.com
