And so, Renee and Margaret came to the private maternity hospital where Renee often got
her prenatal checkups.
As they were waiting for Renee’s turn, Margaret kept holding Renee’s arm and carefully
checked her pulse.
“Your pulse is normal, Miss Renee. Your babies should be fine. You shouldn’t allow a dream
to scare you sick. Let’s just knock on wood, and everything will be fine.”
Renee nodded but was still full of concern.
’I know my precious little cubs are fine since I’ve been strong and fit all the while. But I just
can’t stop myself from worrying. I can’t shake off the feeling that something might happen.”
“Shush! Don’t speak of such inauspicious things, Miss Renee! You might not believe
anyone, but you must believe the traditional medical
knowledge that I learned from my family. You know that I can treat any illness under the sun
by prescribing a few herbs! I’m telling you, there’s nothing to worry about.”
“You’re right. With a medical genius like you by my side, I’ve simply got nothing to worry
about!”
Renee finally felt slightly more at ease as she walked into the doctor’s office. Her report
came out in no time, and it was found that both of her babies were healthy and were
developing well. They appeared to have been completely unaffected by her activities. It also
seemed that her unborn children had become quite resilient.
“Ms. Everheart,’ said the doctor, “in one week, the fetuses will be three months old, which
means that you’ll be entering the second trimester, the most comfortable stage of the
pregnancy. Your morning sickness will gradually disappear, your appetite and your energy
will improve, and your babies will be stronger and more resilient. You’ll also start to have a
visible belly, so you should change into more comfortable clothes. Do remember to take
your calcium supplements, and make sure you get a good sleep every night.”
After speaking, the doctor simply prescribed some calcium tablets and vitamin supplements
and called for the next patient.
With the checkup report in her hand, Renee cheerfully waved at Margaret, who had been
waiting for her outside the doctor’s office, and told her, “It’s just as you said! They’re
perfectly fine! I’ve been worried sick for nothing!”
“I’m glad to hear it, Miss Renee! I’m glad to hear it!”
Margaret was smiling from ear to ear. She was glad to see that the Everheart family, after
having fallen from grace, was starting to slowly return to its former glory, not to mention they
were about to welcome the sprouting of two new branches! She was happy for the late Mr.
and Mrs. Everheart, who had died with regrets, and even happier for the late General
Everheart!
The two then left the hospital and waited for a cab beside the road.
Renee, however, ever perceptive, could sense that something didn’t seem right. She kept
feeling the urge to turn around her.
“What’s wrong, Miss Renee?”
“I think we’re being followed!”
Renee maintained a calm and cheerful demeanor as she chatted with Margaret, but she
lowered her voice as a warning of vigilance.
“What?” Margaret instantly got nervous. She stretched her neck and looked around her,
asking, “We… We’re being followed?!’
“Don’t turn around!” Renee reminded Margaret. “Let’s just pretend that it’s all fine and just
walk ahead.”
Margaret swallowed her saliva, fearing the worst. She wrapped her arms around Renee and
told her, “Could it be your enemy trying to take revenge on you? I’ll protect you, Miss Renee,
but you must find an escape route immediately!”
“Don’t panic,” Renee calmly told Margaret. “I don’t think it’s my enemy, because they
wouldn’t follow us this far without doing anything.”
“Then who could it be?” Margaret wondered aloud.
As they were about to turn a corner, Renee suddenly stopped, and with her back towards
that shadowy figure who had been hiding from her, she yelled, “Stop hiding! I know you’ve
been following me, so just show yourself! ■
As expected, a tall well-built man clad in black clothes and with a peaked cap on his head
slowly walked out from behind a standing sign.
Never would Renee have expected that her stalker turned out to be Stefan Hunt’s best
friend, Cecilia Smith’s loyal defender, and the eldest son of the Stuart family-Xavier Stuart
