Francine ignored his hostility and continued introducing the order in detail.


    “The Albus Order is very mysterious. We don’t even know who their leader is. However, they are known


    as the miracle of the medical field. Especially the ‘Bloodletting and Bone Fumigation Therapy’ they


    have invented. I’m not even exaggerating when I say they could revive the dead with that…”

    “People say that no matter how sick someone is, they can fully recover within ten days after receiving


    treatment from the Albus Order leader. If we can somehow contact them through La, we might be


    able to even cure your hemophobia, let alone your eyes!”


    Francine then sighed deeply, wiping her tears away silently. “Honestly, I’d rest in peace knowing that


    you’ve recovered from your condition. I wouldn’t have any regrets if I dropped dead right then.”


    Initially, Stefan wasn’t quite paying attention to anything his mother said, but hearing the words


    ‘Bloodletting and Bone Fumigation Therapy’ piqued his interest.


    “I’ve only heard of Scraping Therapy, not Bloodletting and Bone Fumigation. Putting everything else


    aside, this Albus Order leader is pretty extreme. Are they intending to draw all of the patient’s blood?”


    “Who knows? See, you’re getting curious, too, aren’t you? Since we can’t think of any other way either,


    why don’t we look for that expert and give it a try? Anything is better than doing nothing, right? What do


    you think?”


    “If you can really find this miracle doctor, I’ll give it a try.” Stefan seemed to be less rigid now.


    At the start, he only wanted to lock himself away from the world, refusing any medical treatment.


    Hence, it was quite a hard journey for him to open up to the idea of trying.


    Little did they know that he was only willing to try this because he figured that he might die from


    receiving such extreme treatment, not because he wanted to recover from his condition.


    He couldn’t possiblymit suicide in his current situation. He didn’t want to seem like a coward and


    didn’t wish for the living to mourn over his death for eternity. Moreover, dying from an ‘ident’ did


    make him feel less guilty for making this final decision.


    To him, this miracle doctor’s supposed treatment sounded as ridiculous as spirit possession. Thus, it


    was a suitable method for him to pass away without any regrets or guilt.


    Francine naturally didn’t know that Stefan had such ns, thinking her son was finallying out of his


    darkness. She was so overjoyed that tears flooded her eyes. “This is great. You’ve finallye around,


    Stef! Don’t worry, I’ll find whoever that leader is even if I have to dig through the Earth’s crust…”


    “Besides, we can’t stay in such a passive state. I received news that your second uncle and your


    cunning cousin are making moves again.”


    “I told you to get rid of them for goodst time, but you just had to let them go because you still


    considered them family! Now we’re in for more trouble. They’ve been plotting in secret for so long that it


    looks like they’re making aeback soon!”


    Francine was feeling more anxious as she spoke, her lips twisted into a deep frown. “And there’s this


    other thing… I didn’t want to tell you at first, but the situation doesn’t allow me to hide it from you any


    longer.”


    “What is it now?”


    “I have been keeping your blindness an absolute secret for a while now. That’s why no one but us


    would ever know about your condition.”


    “Yettely, there’s been rumors being spread around, and the board of directors is starting to feel


    uneasy. With Jovan provoking them even further, they’re demanding to hold a shareholders’ meeting at


    the end of this month. If you have yet to recover by then, you might lose your position as their CEO…”


    “So be it. I can’t do much as a blind man anyway. Giving that position to someone who is more capable


    won’t be a bad thing for H Group.” Stefan was already in the depths of despair. He wasn’t even


    interested in staying alive, let alone fighting for power and status.


    “Didn’t I just praise you for your improvement? Why are you so depressed again? I told you that this will


    be temporary and you’ll get better. If you just hand over your position like that, what would happen to


    our family if Jovan was the one who took that chance?”


    Francine didn’t want to risk it and continued advising Stefan. “You know just how cruel Jovan can be.


    He wouldn’t be as merciful as you if he had that chance. Me and your father aside, I don’t even think


    he’d let Abby and Adie off. If you really want to step down, wait till you’ve secured a future for the kids


    first. Understood?”
