Chapter 1026
“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 youare! 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 aheavy price!”
“I’m sorry, Margaret. I was impulsive, so I didn’t think so far. Don’t worry. I’m all right. It’s nothingserious. 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 thebottom, and if you aren’t careful, you could be smashed into mush. You would have regretted it verymuch 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, shemade 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 neverexpose 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 forthem. “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 manfrom 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 thetruth, including how Francine and Seraphine plotted against her and how she escaped danger beforeshe 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 thosepeople claim that member after they saw the herbal sachet you sewed for me? Not only did they let mego, but they vowed to work for me.”
“Er, that…”novelbin
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 Grandmapurposely 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 herpsychological pressure.
“Alas, Miss Ren, it’s not that I want to keep it a secret, but this affair is a bit embarrassing. Before mygrandfather died, he asked me not to get involved in it. In short, I’ve got to blame myself. Why didn’t Isew 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 wasgood at curing difficult diseases.
When she was pregnant with Adie and Abby, her body became quite weak, so she had the risk of amiscarriage. She relied on Margaret’s medicine solely to protect her children well until she was able togive 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 mygrandfather, but he had long been driven out of the Middleton family. My grandpa even announced tothe public that my father was dead, but he is in fact leading a secluded life. He no longer cares aboutworldly affairs, but The Albus Order he founded is very famous in the world. It also saved a lot ofseriously ill people.”
“What? Your father is the leader of The Albus Order?”
Renee widened her eyes in deep amazement.
