Chapter 1060
As she continued grinding the coffee bit by bit, Renee felt satisfied, but also frowned deeply due to thepain in her wrist.novelbin
Just then, footsteps could be heard behind her. It was Yulia, and she screamed as soon as she noticedthe wounds on Renee’s wrist. “Ren, what are you doing? Just look at your hands! Let the staff do thisfor you!”
“I’m alright, Mrs. Walker, I’m not that fragile.” Renee smiled weakly and proceeded.
“No, you’re not. You’re already bleeding through the gauze! Do you not cherish your own life?” Despiteher usual gentleness, Yulia couldn’t help but feel angered by Renee’s recklessness.
She then snatched the grinder out of her hands and sighed. “Oh child, you’re just so foolish. How couldyou use your own blood for his medicine? If your mother knew that you hurt yourself over a man, shewould be devastated!”
“She won’t,” Renee replied softly. “I believe Mom would use her own blood if she knew Dad needed itto survive. And you would too, if Mr. Walker needed it, right?”
“Well…” Yulia couldn’t retort, but still flashed her a concerned frown. “If you really need human blood asan ingredient, our sanatorium’s blood bank has more than enough. You could have told me sooner!Why did you have to use your own? Now that you risked your own health, how could we possibly faceyour parents in the afterlife?”
“Mrs. Walker, I understand your concerns. But the medicine requires blood from a person whogenuinely loves the patient to take effect, not just anyone’s blood. And as you can see, it does workvery well, so I don’t regret my decision at all. In fact, I’m very happy about this.”
Renee had always felt like she wronged Stefan in many ways. Hence, being able to use her blood inhis cure, was quite an achievement for her. In a way, it had also proved that she still loved him deeplywithin her soul, or else the medicine wouldn’t have been so effective.
Yuia, however, scoffed. “Don’t try to trick me, Ren, I graduated from the world’s most prestigiousmedical school as well. And I have never heard of such an odd cure. If you ask me, this is nothing butsuperstition that specifically targets innocent girls like you.”
“Well, whatever it is, it works.” Renee didn’t want to argue, so she tried to take the grinder back fromYulia so that she could continue.
For the medicine, they had to collect blood from her wrist. Every single time they needed more, theyhad to cut the wounds back open, then bandage them back up.
Having done this many times, she felt like she was about to lose the motor skills in her hands soonenough. Making coffee usually wasn’t so difficult, as she was in a lot of pain.
“You’re still going at it? Can’t you see your wounds have torn open!?” Yulia was adamant in stoppingher. “I’ll help you do it. Grinding coffee beans isn’t a task required from someone who genuinely loveshim now, is it?”
Renee gently rubbed her aching wrists and nodded. “Thanks, Mrs. Walker.”
Even though she was the vice dean of the sanatorium, Yulia was patient enough to grind up theserough beans, so much so that she was starting to sweat.
The two women soon engaged in idle chit chat.
Renee abruptly remembered something and asked, “Mrs. Walker, you were my mother’s best friend,so… you should know about my brother, right?”
Yulia froze upon hearing this, and visibly panicked. “Oh child, why are you asking this all of a sudden?You… You did have a brother, but he was a stillborn. That’s why your parents hid it from the public,including you as well. How did you find out about this?”
“So that means you knew about my mother having twins, and that I have a brother, right?” Reneeseemed excited and continued questioning her. “Then do you know what happened back then? Whowas the damned culprit who wouldn’t even show mercy to a newborn?”
