"Ahem!" Francine had entered the room and witnessed the scene before her, and her face was black as thunder. Behind her was the caretaker that she had personally picked out for Stefan.

Seraphina was mad that the happy atmosphere had been interrupted, so she was about to give the intruder a piece of her mind. However, when she angrily turned around, she was pinned by Francine's sharp gaze.

She jerked away from Stefan immediately and stammered, "M-Madam Francine, why are you here?"

She had been feeling guilty ever since she and Jovan had secretly bribed the neurosurgeon to give Stefan that brain surgery. She'd also been feeling paranoid and suspicious of everyone.

"My son is in a hospital bed, and you ask me, his mother, why I'm here?" Francine demanded, her voice tight with anger. She didn't like how Seraphina had been going about this, so she started lecturing her. "You certainly have your ways, don't you? You hid the fact that my son was injured for a whole week. Do you know that

    Layla expertly placed her slender fingers on Stefan's wrist, checking his pulse. After a few seconds, her delicate features wrinkled in concentration."What's wrong? Is my son's condition serious?" Francine stood beside her, feeling worried seeing Layla's expression.After around a minute, Layla finally moved her hand away, and gave a long sigh. "Mr. Hunt's pulse is very chaotic, it was weak yet as fast as a rushing river. It seems like a typical case of cerebral hemorrhage. It's like it has recently been damaged or been through trauma. The situation is dire.""Th… The brain has been damaged?" Francine looked at Stefan with a heavy heart, unable to process what her darling son had gone through.Overwhelmed with guilt, Seraphina snarled at Layla, "You immature child! How dare you say such things when medical experts just reported that Stef's body was in stable condition? Why are you scaring us with all this talk of cerebral hemorrhage? Are you cursing him?"Despite looking young, L

    Layla's eyes were bright with excitement, and she was beaming as if she had just found treasure. "Whoever this is, they really are extremely skilled in their craft, even more so than my father. Where is this person? Could you please introduce me to them, Ms. Murphy?""T-This can't be…" Seraphina gulped nervously, not expecting the situation to turn out like this. 'Renee, you sneaky witch… She said she wanted to help improve our relationship, and then left us with a miraculous recipe! She just left without taking any credit!'"How could it be impossible? It must be because of the kindness that Mr. Hunt has shown people throughout his life, which means that he must have met someone who was fated to help him now. Truly, as long as Mr. Hunt drinks this medicinal tea three times, he will recover and become as healthy as a horse." Layla's eyes sparkled, as if the instructions were out of this world.Francine's expression softened, and she flashed Seraphina an appreciative smile. "Looks li

    Francine's words nearly scared Seraphina to death. She gulped, trying to explain herself right away. "I-It's not like that, Madam Francine! It's just that the person who gave me this recipe has a… special identity. I don't think she should be near Stef at all…""Really?" Francine asked doubtfully. She wondered, 'The person wants to save Stef, but can't go near him. Isn't that just a contradictory statement?'Seraphina sighed deeply and glanced at Stefan. She then leaned closer to Francine and whispered the truth to her.The mother instantly understood, balling her fists as a conflicted expression appeared on her face. Finally, she said, "Whatever, this recipe came from unknown origins, so we shouldn't put too much effort into looking for that person. If that expert was just trying to reel us in with something good, then betray us later, we'd be in trouble.""You're right, Madam Francine. I was worried that this person might plot against us, so I didn't dare to use the medicinal tea

    Stefan frowned deeply. He was slowly feeling more and more certain that he had lost some of his memories, especially those related to his 'afterlife buddy'.Seraphina turned pale, a wave of fear consuming her. "N-No. You just need to remember who I am."Outside the ward, Francine paced about, looking extremely upset. Layla nervously asked, "Madam, are you worried about something?""What do you think? Just look at what my son suddenly became! How could I not be worried?" Francine seemed to be rather disturbed, snapping at anyone she encountered. She rambled on as she stared at Layla. "Did you not notice how weird my son's condition was?""You're right, especially his brain. It seems as though it had taken quite a serious injury. If it's possible, I'd really recommend getting a second opinion and a full body checkup.""Yeah, you think something's wrong with his brain too, huh? I suspect…" Francine paused, scanning her surroundings nervously."What do you suspect?" Layla started

    In the middle of the night, a black luxury car drove fast across the winding mountain roads, as if it were a phantom. It seemed to be heading towards the deepest corners of the forest.Renee was holding the steering wheel with one hand, drifting through a 90 degree curve perfectly with ease.She then looked at the rear view mirror, staring at the man laying in the back of her car. He seemed to be heavily affected by the sedative, remaining fast asleep despite the speed and bumps throughout their ride.'Tsk, tsk, Francine sure is cruel. How could she give her son such heavy drugs? Isn't she afraid that it might affect his brain?' Renee thought to herself, then called the dean of Greenwood Sanatorium, Sebastian Walker. "Mr. Walker, I'm almost there. Sorry for the trouble, we might occupy the sanatorium for quite a while."Sebastian, who was on the other end of the line, was warm and friendly. "Hey Ren, why are you being so polite with your old Uncle Walker? I was best friends with

    However, Margaret never would have expected everything to turn out so smoothly, with so many coincidences on their side. 'I guess it's their destiny. The gods knew that they still had unresolved fate with each other, and forced the two together in their own mysterious ways.'Sebastian chimed in warmly. "Ren, I heard about your situation from Margaret, and rest assured that the sanatorium will provide everything you need to help Mr. Hunt recover as soon as possible.""Thank you! Thank you so much!" Renee was so touched that she teared up, and bowed to everyone deeply."It's getting late, so why don't you and Mr. Hunt go get some rest for now? We have arranged the west wing suite for you—it has the coziest environment we can provide. Not only can you cook, rest, read freely, you can even take a hot bath under the beautiful night sky while listening to streams of water gushing gently. It is truly a place for relaxation." The vice dean, also known as Sebastian's wife, Yulia Norris, intr

    "Dang, your face is smooth as usual. How can you have better skin than most women? I'm honestly impressed!" Renee murmured appreciatively as she touched the man's face.Stefan normally would act like a ferocious beast, refusing to allow anyone into his heart. Yet now, he just seemed like a tame little kitten, and wouldn't fight back no matter how she caressed him.Just as she was getting addicted to it, Stefan suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up, pinning Renee under him in the blink of an eye.His long, slender fingers wrapped around the woman's neck harshly. As he continued tightening his grip, he growled, "I'm a weakling to you, huh? And you could just shove me into a bag after knocking me out, huh?! You damned woman, how dare you?!""You…!" Renee coughed and choked. Her lovely neck looked rather fragile, as if one could snap it if they used just a little force.The man was using so much of his strength that it was starting to suffocate her. Her face was flushing dark red, an

    This made Stefan feel even more doubtful. "What is our relationship? Why would you put in so much effort just to treat me? Don't you know the consequences of transferring me to another place in secret?""I don't care as long as you can get better," Renee said, determined. She knew that if Seraphina or Francine found out about her actions, she would have to take quite a heavy fall. However, Margaret mentioned that they needed him to be in a completely secluded area if he were to receive proper treatment. With no other choice, she merely decided to improvise."Hmph, and yet you still refuse to reveal our relation to each other. No matter how generous and kind you're being, all of this is just too odd for me to trust you." The only person Stefan could trust right now, was Seraphina. Hence, his tone was frigid when he spoke to Renee. "As long as you send me back to Seraphina's side, I can consider letting you off.""Sorry, I won't agree to that." Renee stood up and patted his should

    There were various kinds of torture instruments hanging around the cage. There was even a saw that would function with just a pull.Upon closer inspection, Renee noticed bloodstains on the instruments. The corners were full of piles of human hair. There was also a rotten and damp scent lingering around."What… What kind of place is this?" Leia screamed.She stood at the door of the cage and swallowed in fright, now timid. She found that place very familiar. After some contemplation, she realized it was something related to what she had seen before in the deep web.The so-called deep web was more horrible than the dark web. Only ten percent of netizens could find the websites. These websites weren't under supervision, and were full of outrageous videos and business deals.For example, the sellers would buy beautiful models to make vulgar videos of for the buyers' viewing. The buyers would make outrageous requests based on their insane desires. They would spend some money for the se

    Though the building looked ordinary and old, it was filled with many things.However, it was not very accurate. The place resembled thematic scenes more.The first floor was an ordinary office area. The second floor looked like a hotel, while the third floor looked like classrooms… The themes for each place were centered around obscenity.Renee wasn't dumb. She instantly understood why Lucas brought her and Leia there by force. She also finally understood why Lucas prohibited his subordinate from touching Leia's face even though she had been rude to him. If she guessed right, these bastards wanted her and Leia to shoot pornos. "Do you like these scenes, my friends?" Lucas was smoking, in a great mood to see the film and television site he had established. His eyes gleamed as he looked at Renee and Leia. "Other than wire fraud and online casinos, the thing that makes most money is the limited and short videos. You girls are so pretty. Just work with me and shoot some R-rated

    The motorbikes raced the narrow streets noisily, passing through crowds and messy alleyways. After a winding journey, they got on the large roads and drove toward a growingly remote and unknown place.At last, they stopped in front of a large iron gate with guards and two large German Shepherds. There were a few large words above the iron gate that spelled Gold Investment. As Renee and Leia walked inside, they saw a large park, like a factory. Both of them exchanged a look of deep helplessness. They had bumped into something terrible. If they guessed it right, Lucas and his gang were involved in wire fraud. They had been brought to Lucas' scamming site.Men in uniforms happened to walk toward the cafeteria to get food under the supervision of guards. Their faces or bodies were full of new or old injuries. They looked numb and dispirited, as if they had lost all hope in life.Both Renee and Leia exchanged another look. They could confirm they were brought to an infamous scamming

    Lucas' lackey brought out a dagger. He pulled Leia, and pushed the dagger against her neck.Lucas stared at Renee, and sneered, "I hope you and your friend can behave. We're from the same country. We can get along, can't we?" "Ren, ignore me! Just get them! I'm sure they can't kill me in front of everyone!" Leia shouted.She was fearless and tried all means to resist, but the man was rather fierce. He pinned her wrists behind her while pushing the dagger against her neck.As Leia wasn't standing still, the blade scratched her neck and caused it to bleed.Renee could only unclench her fists, and asked Lucas coldly, "What do you want?" "Don't be scared. We mean you no harm. We like you girls because we're from the same country. We'd like to invite you to my place as guests," Lucas mouthed off insufferably as he touched his chin. His face was swollen from being punched. "Let my friend go now!" Renee ordered Lucas. She could easily handle those bastards alone, but she was too tim

    "I need to congratulate you, since you'll get another person who can teach you how to be a human being aside from Draco from today onward." Renee glared at Lucas angrily, her tone icy."Who? You? Just you?" Lucas held his belly and burst into laughter. "That's hilarious! How could you? You—"The next second, Renee interrupted him and punched him. His head tilted to the side, and his teeth were knocked out and fell off. Renee grabbed his hair and demanded icily, "What about now? Where are our phones?""You… You…" Lucas' cheek was swollen. He couldn't move at all, and waved for his lackeys to act.They jumped off their motorbikes and waved their steel pipes and knives, about to attack Renee."Ren, be careful!" While resisting, Leia reminded Renee to be careful. Renee remained composed as she kept her grip on Lucas' hair. She used him as a shield as she kicked and punched the other men, defeating them with ease.She suffered no injury while attacking others as Lucas had to endur

    Renee and Leia crossed the sidewalk and walked toward the bus stop some distance away from them. Before they could enter the bus stop, however, the tanned man who approached them at the airport just now stopped in front of them on a motorbike.Behind him were six or seven men, also on a motorbike, looking fierce and dangerous. "Hey, gorgeous. Didn't you say your friend was coming to get you? Why are you catching a ride here? Listen, I own the buses here. Just tell me where you're going. I'll give you a free ride!"When Leia saw him, she could no longer hold herself back. She rushed forward and grabbed his collar. "You have the nerve to stop us! Give us back our cell phones, or you'll be sorry!" "Cell phones? What do you mean? I don't understand what you're talking about." The man smiled slyly as he held Leia's hand. "What's wrong? Did you lose your phone, gorgeous? Tell me what it looks like. I've got quite a lot of connections. I'll get it back for you quick.""You're asking

    Under such circumstances, the best solution was to quickly get away from that man.Both Renee and Leia took the escalator and walked a long way before they finally exited the airport. Only then did Renee breathe a sigh of relief. She said to Leia, "Okay, call Liam. Ask him to get someone to pick us up."They kept their trip to Goldshire a secret from Liam, as he didn't want Leia to attend the wedding with the excuse that the city came with a complicated environment. It would be easy for her to run into bad guys. Giving him her blessings was enough. At first, Leia hesitated to come, but after planning it out with Renee, she became bolder. She felt that it was fine since she was just there to attend a wedding.Unfortunately, they ran into an annoying sleazebag at the airport. It was a real bummer."Okay." Leia nodded. "I know this place would be chaotic, but I didn't expect it to be this serious! What the hell was that? I have to ask Liam to get someone here quickly. If not, thos

    A week later, Renee and Leia flew to Goldshire without anyone's knowledge.Goldshire was a primitive, old, remote city full of speeding motorbikes and leering men. Beautiful Aeos women like Renee and Leia were very eye-catching there. It was easy to predict the kind of obstacles they would face. A slim, tanned man in an old-fashioned T-shirt blocked them casually while smoking. "Hey gorgeous, are you here for a trip or business? I'm a local. I can accompany you!" At that time, both Renee and Leia had just gotten off the plane. They were waiting for their luggage at the baggage carousel. The other passengers who rode in the same plane were either men, families, or foreigners. Renee and Leia were the best candidates to accost. "No, thank you. I've been here before, and I'm quite familiar with this place." Renee waved, not wanting to have much to do with the man. Although she was good at fighting, it was hard to fight a local tyrant. She wouldn't make a big scene if she could hel

    "Don't worry, I'm not unhappy. Maybe I wasn't sensible or prudent enough, but my feelings for Liam are honorable. I see him as my younger brother. Since my brother is going to get married, of course I'll happily give him my blessings." Renee was feeling quite helpless because she had no idea how she should explain herself."I see…" Leia looked disappointed. "If Liam hears this, I guess he'll be disappointed and unhappy.""Then he shouldn't get married," Renee said, hitting the nail on the head."He'll still feel that way. You can't be easily replaced. Maybe no one will ever replace you for him. As his sister, I'm sure of it," Leia said. She didn't blame Renee, but she found it unacceptable for her loyal brother.On second thought, nothing could be done. The relationships in the world were closely linked together. It was hard to find two people who were mutually in love with each other. There was no fairness. Besides, no one could change that just by working hard. It depended
