Chapter 1086
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âThisâ¦â Aunt Margaret hesitated. Renee knew almost everything anyway, so she sighed and said firmly, âWe cannot take more of your blood, not unless you wish to die.â
âDonât worry. My body regenerates blood quickly. As long as I eat more red meat, Iâll be fine. Thereâs no time⦠Hurry up!â
As Renee said this, her head still felt fuzzy, and she felt increasingly weaker.
Her body was never this weak before, but ever since she had her two children, her body condition could not go back to what it once was.
Just as she was about to rejuvenate, her condition worsened as soon as she was required to provide more blood for Stefanâs medicine.
âMiss Ren, this isnât something we can afford to risk. We canât extract any more blood from youâ¦â
âMargaret, stop stalling. He canât hold on any longer. As the eldest daughter of the Everheart family, I command you to extract my blood!â Renee had no choice but to use her position to force Margaretâs hand and follow her orders.
âMiss Ren, youâre putting me in a difficult position. How am I to face your late parentsâ¦â Margaret was not allowed to disobey direct orders. Thus, she had no choice but to turn around and get the tools needed to extract blood from Renee once again.
âExtract mine instead!â Jovan showed up out of nowhere and snapped coldly at Margaret.
He then pulled Renee behind him then rolled up his sleeves.
âYouâ¦â Renee was somewhat touched by Jovanâs action but maintained a cool front and pushed him away, âDonât fool around. How can your blood be similar to mine? They said that it had to be the blood of someone who loves him!â
âFrom a relation standpoint, my blood might be even more effective than yours, considering I am his relative,â Jovan said clearly in a grim tone that was normally unheard of from him.
As Renee was about to retort, Margaretâs anxious voice spoke up, âYes, yes, how could I have forgotten? Apart from blood given by someone who loves him deeply, a relativeâs blood should also work. Maybe we could try it.â
âEven if it doesnât, it wonât cause death, will it?â Jovan asked seriously.
âNo, even if it fails, it just means that the medicine will be weaker, and there wonât be any side effects.â
âThen stop wasting time. Start extracting!â Jovan had long before made up his mind and ordered in a frosty tone.
âAlright, please hold on. I will start to take your blood.â Margaret approached the task at hand with hopefulness. She slit open a part of his wrist and held a palm-sized bowl to collect the blood in.
This process was harsh, and from an outsiderâs perspective, it looked extremely excruciating.
âJovan, you bastard, donât you despise Stefan? Whâ¦what are you doing?â
âOf course, I hate Stefan, but Iâm more afraid of you hurting.â Jovanâs brows drew together from the pain as he gritted his teeth and replied.
âY⦠Youâre really crazy!â Renee knew better than anyone how much it hurt to extract blood.
It was impossible to not feel the least bit moved by his actions, especially when Jovan was willing to do something like this.
When enough blood had been extracted, Margaret followed the new instructions on brewing the medicine and quickly produced a bowl of medicinal tea.
âMiss Ren, hurry and bring this to Mr. Hunt. If it works well, then countless problems will be solved.â
This meant that they could potentially cure Stefanâs eyesight as well.
In fact, Margaret had a daring idea in mind for a while, but she had always been too scared to try it out.
However, Jovanâs actions had given her a shove of courage and hope, hope that it might just succeed.
