Chapter 1452

Renee sighed in relief when she sensed no hostility from Lisa, and immediately asked, "Is the surgery over? Was it

successful? Can Jovan see again?"

"I heard from Ms. Pierce that the surgery was successful. Mr. Jovan will have his stitches and bandages removed in

a week, and he can see again. But unfortunately, you..." Lisa let out a soft sigh as she looked at Renee, pale and

weak in her surgical gown. Feeling sorry for Renee, Lisa asked hesitantly, "What are you planning to do in the

future?"

"Don't worry. I might have lost my sight, but I'm not dead. I can survive this. There are many blind people in the

world who have done great things..." Even though Renee was in a lot of pain, she still tried to reassure Lisa because

she could tell Lisa genuinely felt sorry for her.

"I'll take good care of you for the next few days, Ms.

Everheart. Don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything. I'll help you as long as it's within my abilities." Lisa felt that

Renee was a kind and positive person, and couldn't understand why things had to end up like this.

"In that case, I need a favor from you," Renee said slowly, grateful that Lisa was such a kind and helpful person.

"Can you help get my phone and call a person named Margaret? It's been a few days since I contacted her, and I'm

sure she's worried."

"Okay, I'll help you call her." Lisa found Renee's phone in the

bedside cabinet and unlocked it based on Renee's instructions, then searched for Margaret's contact number.

Margaret answered the call quickly, and she sounded like she was about to cry. "Ms. Ren, you finally called! Where

have you been? I can't find you anywhere, and Adie and Abby are worried sick." Margaret had even gone to the

police station to file a case yesterday.

"Don't worry, Margaret, I'm just spending time at my friend's house. Where are Adie and Abby? I want to talk to

them."

"Yeah, they're here. They've just woken up, and they’ve been talking about you all day!" After that, Margaret

immediately handed the phone to Abby and Adie.

"Where are you, Mommy? Why weren't you answering your phone? I want to have a video call with you." Abby

whined, rubbing her eyes drowsily. She used to fall asleep listening to Renee's bedtime stories, but because so

many things had happened lately, she hadn't been able to spend time with Renee, and she missed her mother very

much.

"I'm at my friend's house, so I can't have a video call with you two. You and Adie should be good and listen to

Margaret. I... might need some time before I can come home," Renee bit her lip and lied, gripping her phone tightly.

If her children saw her like this, they'd surely get scared, but ... they would have to know the truth eventually.

"Why not? Mommy, is your friend a bad guy? Is that why your friend doesn't want you to do a video call?" Abby

pouted unhappily. "Or do you not want to see us anymore? Are you going to leave us behind?"

"No, that’s not it. I can't explain it for now, but you and Adie should know that I'll always love you two the most no

matter what!" That was the only thing that she could say.

Adie instantly sensed something was off, and asked sharply, "Something happened to you, right. Mommy? Is that

why it's inconvenient for you to pick up your phone?"
