Chapter 1658Chapter 1658
Stefan was silent as he looked at the list of herbs, then said, "Wait for me to come back!" He exited
Owen's office, staring at the herbs. It was a good thing manpower and resources were not limited
thanks to his positionsomething so trivial couldn't stop him. The first thing he wanted to find was the
Southern Oceanic Stone. He felt that it was the easiest to find because it was just an older pearl.
He made his preparations and bade Renee goodbye before setting off. "I might be gone for a while this
time, maybe about a week. Stay here, and we'll keep in touch. When I'm back, you'll be cured," Stefan
said gently as he hugged Renee.
Renee's pain was numbed because she had just taken a painkiller, so she was in rather good spirits. "I
heard from Dr. Wagner about the herbs you have to find. Do they really exist?" Renee was worried that
Stefan was going on a pointless search-dragons only existed in legends. "I doubt Dr. Wagner would lie
because he knows we're already so stressed and I'm terminally ill. Was he trying to give US hope?"
"I don't care if they're real or not, I have to try. If I don't, I'll regret it my whole life." Stefan gripped
Renee's fingers, looking determined. He was not someone who'd admit defeat, and his woman was
waiting for him to save her. Even if the chance of success was slim, he had to try.
"I'm sure it'll be dangerous to get these things," Renee leaned against his chest and said worriedly.
"Why don't you stay? I'm already very satisfied having you and the kids with me. I don't want you to
take these risks."
"No, it's not enough!" Stefan protested. ’I don't want to see you in pain. I want us to be healthy, happy,
and not have to worry about anything." He had only two wishes right now-he wanted to cure her and
find a pair of suitable eyes for her so she could see again. If he didn't fulfill those, he wouldn't be at
novelbinpeace."Okay, I'll wait for you to save me, my knight," Renee said teasingly. She knew she couldn't change his
mind, so there was no point in trying. Even if the herbs weren't real, Stefan would feel better if he had
at least tried to search for them.
"Right. I'll be back soon." Stefan leaned down and kissed Renee's forehead gently.
As Stefan got up to leave, Renee suddenly thought of something. "By the way, how did you get the list
of ingredients of the poison? Your answer was a little vague that day... Did something happen?"
Stefan's heart sank, and he couldn't move. What happened that day had been troubling him, and it was
a ticking time bomb for his relationship with Renee. He could live happily as long as it was never
brought up again." Didn't I tell you? Tess told me. She went to the culprit and asked about the poison,"
Stefan replied vaguely.
