Silence washed over Margaret before she shook her head. "It's not the time to reveal it yet."Before Renee's mother died, Margaret had helped the former to keep some secrets. Initially, she should have kept those secrets forever. But soon, she felt that Renee had the right to know. However, it was not now but the day when she was about to pass away. Caia felt very sorry for Margaret. After giving the latter some jabs, she sobbed and said to Margaret, "Okay, Aunt Margaret. Do take care. I'm sure Ms. Ren can't bear to part with you. You must stay healthy, even if it's for her sake. You can't give up until the last moment. Can you promise me that?" "I'm sorry to make you worry about me. Don't worry. I'll take good care of myself," Margaret said.Margaret knew that she could not rest in peace. So, she still wanted to try hard and hold on even though she was beyond cure. She wanted to hold on for the sake of Renee, Caia, Adie, Abby, and Quinton.Although she knew that the chances
When Renee and Quinton were gone for a while, Margaret finally failed to hold back and vomited some blood."Aunt Margaret!"Seeing that, Caia felt very sorry for Margaret. She hurriedly helped Margaret to her feet. "Let me help you to rest. You can't tire yourself, given your health. Let me give you some jabs to steady your condition.""Thank you, my good niece." Margaret sounded soft and was too weak to say more.She let Caia help her and lie in the bed of the guest room. Caia fished out her needles and jabbed them into Margaret a few times. Margaret frowned and cracked a bitter smile. "Silly, you don't have to do this. I know I can't live for long. All kinds of treatment, including jabs, medicine, and surgery, are useless on me. You'd better just talk with me." "Aunt Margaret, you can't say such pessimistic words. First, you're not terminally ill. Second, don't you trust my medical skills? I've been studying new medicine lately. It should be effective to treat your illness.
Renee's action drove Margaret to tears.Similarly, Margaret got down on her knees but said nothing.Her action of bringing Renee and Quinton there had already surpassed what words could express. At least, it was not a failure that Margaret had given up being the heiress of The Albus Order and sacrificed her whole life working for the Everheart family. It was not meaningless, either. At least, the Everheart family had truly approved of and regarded Margaret as their family. It also proved that she had not made the wrong choice back then."Ms. Ren, Mr. Everheart, it's my father's day of remembrance today. I called you here because I wanted him to know that I hadn't wasted my life. That my choice is meaningful. I used my sincerity in exchange for your sincerity." Margaret got teary as she made a melancholic comment. She also sobbed."Margaret, it's meaningful regardless of the thing you do or the choice you make. Even if you leave us and inherit The Albus Order today, we won't objec
When Caia was mentioned, Margaret could not hide her pride. She could not stop praising Caia. Caia felt shy and scratched her head. She held Margaret's arm and said, "Stop praising me, or I'll turn arrogant!""Oh, sure. You must be proud. You're so exceptional and good. If I were you, I would have worn my honor proudly!" Renee admired Caia greatly. She felt that it was very difficult for Caia to be such an expert in medical science. Caia could even grow a precious herb like that, which was only heard about in novels. She was like a reclusive and amazing physician. Renee's curiosity and admiration for Caia kept increasing. She felt that Caia would help Margaret take care of the Everhearts, like Margaret had said. Then, Caia could take care of Adie and Abby, like how Margaret had taken care of Renee. Certainly, it was just Renee's wishful thinking. Honestly, she could not let such an excellent young woman with great prospects spend the rest of her life working for the Everheart
Margaret could discern Renee's worry. She smiled. "Ms. Ren, I know what you're worried about, but please stop overthinking. I'm healthy, and I'm not in any difficulty. I introduce Caia to you guys because it's about time." Caia sized Renee up and let her guard down. She said to Renee, "Ms. Ren, you're a very important person to my aunt. She almost spent her whole life working for your family and told me how difficult your life has been. She had wanted to introduce me to you previously, but she felt that her identity made it unsuitable for her to do so. But now, she has chosen to do so, probably because she has taken you all as family. She can see that you all feel the same way about her. So, she's no longer stressed!" "Yes, Caia is right. That's what's on my mind." Margaret nodded and agreed with Caia's words."If that's the case, I'm not worried anymore." Finally, Renee was relieved. She had assumed that Margaret was terminally ill and had wanted to leave them in another per
Margaret was moved to see how Renee and Quinton valued her. She glanced at her watch and felt that it was almost time. Then, she took a deep breath. "Let's go."The three of them left Everheart Manor and drove past the darkness. After that, they came to a silent house far away from the city center.The car stopped at the door. Renee and Quinton looked at each other before they turned to look at Margaret in confusion. "Margaret, where are we?""Don't worry. Take it as your home." While talking, Margaret got out of the car first.The house was decorated uniquely like a chalet in the mountains, with various flowers planted at the door. There were also succulent plants. A large dog was barking."Butter, you're such a good boy. You're welcoming me!" Margaret walked forward and gently greeted Butter. Butter leaped onto Margaret excitedly."Who's there?" Someone in the house heard the noise and exited the house. Seeing Margaret, the person became very excited. "Aunt Margaret,
