Margaret was overjoyed and immediately spread the quilt open, but when she saw the curses written all over it, she almost screamed and tossed it.

�W�was this written in blood? Who did this? How could they?!�

�It doesn�t matter. I don�t believe in those things anyway.�

Renee wasn�t afraid. She only felt disgusted at the disaster on her quilt.

The most important thing now was to restore the quilt to its original state.

It took some effort, but Margaret quickly cleaned the words off the quilt, and the pattern embroidered on it became clear.

There were two things on it, the same combination of a phoenix and flowers. Some stripes connected together to form a map. as though guiding Renee to someplace.

"Judging from the shape of the map, it looks to be North City. Perhaps Madam purposely left this behind so you could look for her?� Margaret guessed, which was also in line with Renee�s thoughts. However, Renee didn�t think too deeply about it as she kept the quilt and jade pendant away. �We�ll talk about it later!�

Margaret looked at Renee�s belly and nodded in understanding.

�You�re right. The most important thing right now is to nurture your baby and have a safe birth.�

The older woman didn�t ask who the father of Renee�s baby was, and the latter didn�t say a word about it either. The two women had an unspoken understanding of the situation.

Renee was completely assured that Margaret would keep her mouth shut. As long as Renee didn�t permit it, her nanny would take this secret to her grave.

Renee put off all activities in the next few days and stayed in bed, nursing her baby under Margarent�s meticulous care. It was clear that Margaret had come from a great line of doctors, as Renee�s previous minor illnesses were cured with just a few doses of medicine.

She no longer felt fatigued, and her appetite improved. She could now stomach several meals a day without feeling nauseous.

Today. Margaret went out early to do some grocery shopping, and Renee slept in bed. The sun bathed her skin with warm light, and she felt at peace and comfortable.

Renee secretly planned to take her child and Margaret to live abroad once her business was settled. By then, she wouldn�t need to worry about money and could laze around all day.

Her relaxed state didn�t last very long, as she heard noises from downstairs.

�What are you scared of? Just smash all of it! I don�t believe that the dead can bully the living! If you guys don�t smash this place to bits, I�ll make all of you eat shit!�

Renee�s brows furrowed slightly, and she opened her eyes with an unhappy look.

The noses got louder as the minutes ticked by, accompanied by the obvious crashing of things getting broken which told her it wasn�t a hallucination but an actual intrusion. JrNovels.com
