Margaret furrowed her eyebrows, visibly perturbed.

�What is it? What do you mean odd? Tell me.�

�All my father�s recipes require a special ingredient�� Margaret then whispered into Renee�s ear, revealing the ingredient to her.

Renee remained silent for a short while, then responded, �It�s okay. If you need any, then go ahead. I can provide you with it.�

�But it�d be harmful to you. Is that heartless man really worth it?�

�He became this way because of me. I�m even willing to sacrifice my life for him, let alone this special ingredient.�

�Alright, I understand, you don�t want to owe him anything.�

As the two came to an agreement, they turned all their focus onto nursing Stefan�s body.

Stefan was oddly �obedient� as well, as he consumed every single dish Renee gave.

After about a week, the injuries on his body had healed rather quickly. Moreover, when Margaret checked his pulse the second time, she no longer looked as solemn as she did before, and grinned happily.

�Mr. Hunt�s pulse has finally stabilized, and his blood circulation has improved drastically. Just two more treatments and we�ll be able to focus on curing his eyes.�

Renee�s eyes lit up, rejoicing. �That�s amazing! Our efforts didn�t go to waste!�

Her voice was soft, as she was obviously quite frail. Her face was as white as a sheet, and there were dark circles around her eyes. Despite all that, her genuine smile was still quite a beautiful sight to behold.

Seeing her state, Margaret felt heartbroken. �Miss Ren, let�s stop using the special ingredient for the next few doses of medicine. Your life might be in danger.�

She was starting to regret using her father�s methods. It did help cure the patient at a rapid pace, but� the person providing the special ingredient had to suffer instead.

�If the medicine is working great, then keep using it, or else we�re just going to lose all the progress we made!� Renee smiled as she turned to the man�s room. �Like you said, I didn�t want to owe him anything. This is my karma, so the more I have to give, the better I can forgive myself.�

�Oh and� you must keep this secret ingredient thing just between us. Don�t let him find out, okay?�

�Miss Ren, you may excel in everything, but you�re too much of a hopeless romantic. He doesn�t even remember you now. Even if you do cure him, you�ll just have to watch him marry Miss Murphy later on. It�s simply foolish��

�Well, you know what they say, ignorance is bliss!� Renee smiled optimistically.

Stefan�s health started improving day by day, and he was slowly growing more comfortable with Renee as well. JrNovels.com
