When Renee saw Margaret, who was like a mother to her, tears of resignation filled her eyes.


    “Margaret, my stomach hurts!”


    Like a child, she threw herself into the older woman’s arms and wept uncontrobly.


    For four years, from the changes in her family to her grandfather’s death and even her divorce from


    Stefan, not a single tear had been shed, and she remained as sturdy as a mountain.


    But it was tiring to be strong all the time. She was only a twenty–year–old woman! She didn’t want to


    be strong anymore!


    Margaret was confused. She rarely saw Renee in such a fragile state, and she couldn’t help but feel


    distressed, and tears also filled her eyes. She gently stroked Renee’s back infort and said, “Shh,


    it’s okay. Miss Ren. I’m here. I’m here with you!”


    Like a lost little puppy, Renee soaked in the warmth of Margaret’s arms. Having not felt this peaceful in


    a long while, she seemed rxed and wasn’t as ufortable as before.


    Margaret was Renee’s nanny and had a lot of experience in childbirth and parenting. She looked at


    Renee’s stomach andplexion and could hazard a guess as to what was wrong with the younger


    woman.


    “Miss Ren, are you pregnant?” Margaret asked cautiously.


    “I… The thought of telling Margret had never crossed Renee’s mind, and denial was on the tip of her


    tongue.


    However, Margeret picked up her hand and felt the pulse on her wrist, adding, “And almost three


    months along, if I’m not


    mistaken?”


    “Ah… apparently, I can’t hide anything from you,” Renee mumbled helplessly.


    Margaret’s family came from a long line of skilled medical professionals. Renee once heard her mother


    say that her grandmother had personally hired Margaret to manage all the affairs in their family and


    care for Renee’s mother, who had been pregnant then, and her, who had been born after. That meant


    Margaret was more experienced than many other doctors in the


    field.

    Margaret stayed silent and continued feeling Renee’s pulse. After a while, she frowned and said. “Miss


    Ren, you ran into trouble today, didn’t you? Your pulse is irregr. You should lie down. I’ll prepare


    some medicine for you. You’ll be fine once you take


    it.”


    “Thank you, Margaret.”


    Renee obeyed Margaret’s instruction and returned to her bedroom to lie down.


    Margaret prepared a concoction ording to the medical skills she had learned from her ancestors.


    Once it was done, she


    brought it up to Renee.


    “Come, Miss Ren. Once you drink this, the pain will go away!”


    Renee was not the slightest bit wary of the medicine and swallowed it in one gulp.


    To her, Margaret was the only person in this world she could trust unconditionally, even more than Liam


    or Leia.


    A gentle sensation washed over her once she drank the medicine, and she felt better almost instantly.


    “Margaret, my stomach doesn’t hurt much anymore! You’re awesome!” Renee gushed, her eyes filled


    with adoration for the older woman.


    “Of course! My great–grandfather was known as the famous Plum Blossom Saint, you know? As his


    descendent, even if I only inherited a tenth of his mantle andcked his necromancy skills, keeping an


    unborn baby safe is easy.”


    Margaret was clearly proud of her ancestry and lineage.


    “Wasn’t that the title given to the doctor who was rumored to be able to perform miracles? That’s your


    great–grandfather, Margaret? That’s… Wow!”


    The admiration in Renee’s heart swelled bigger. Even though she knew that Margaret came from a line


    of ancestors who studied medicine, she didn’t know their origins were that great! Her profound heritage


    completely overshadowed the Everheart


    family’s reputation!


    In that case, hadn’t it been a waste for Margaret to be a housekeeper and nanny in this family?


    Renee asked curiously, “Margaret, this is the first I’ve heard that your great–grandfather was the Plum


    Blossom Saint. I heard he


    was the treasure of the medical world and that he could cure people who were terminally ill. If that’s the


    case… why didn’t you pursue a medical career and waste your life here instead?”


    Margaret smiled. “I was entrusted with this task. Besides, caring for you and your mother wasn’t a


    waste of my life. It was my life’s mission.”


    “Entrusted? By my grandmother?” Renee was even more curious at the older woman’s words. “Could


    you tell me a little about my grandmother, Margaret?”
