Chapter 1407


    “It’s my fault. It’s all my fault!” Toph cried out. “I’m the one who pushed her to do this… I didn’t


    apologize or resolve our conflict. Instead, I pushed her to this point…


    “Mom, I’m the reason Renee tried to take her own life! I messed up!”


    He raised his arm, intending to hit himself, but Zephyr tightly gripped his wrist before he could.


    “Calm down!” Zephyr growled. “You’re a man, look at yourself!”


    “Dad…”


    Nichs also tried to console him. “Toph, you’re gentle and kind. That’s why you try to shoulder all the


    me. But you’re not truly at fault. So, please, stop ming yourself.”


    Toph stood there with teary eyes, and Cordelia felt a deep sadness seeing him like that.


    Meanwhile, she had an inkling of what was going on. It seemed that Renee had captured all of Toph’s


    attention with this incident.


    Zennie was part of the emergency team and soon emerged from the emergency room.


    “Don’t worry,” she said calmly. “We managed to save her in time. Her life is no longer in danger.”Books

    Toph’s tension instantly eased. It felt like all his strength had been drained from him, and he leaned


    weakly against the wall.


    “Don’t worry, Toph,” Zennie reassured her nephew, her eyes filled withplex emotions. “Trust your


    aunt’s expertise. I won’t let anything happen to her.”


    Cordelia asked, “Zennie, how many sleeping pills did she take?”


    “Quite a few,” she replied honestly. “There were some remnants even after the first round of stomach


    pumping, so we had to do it again. We can’t take any risks, though those procedures have been


    completed. We need to monitor her for a while, as there might be aftereffects orplications.”


    “Is it that serious?”


    “That’s correct.”


    Cordelia’s eyes darkened, and tears welled up in Toph’s eyes. He followed Renee’s gurney as she was


    wheeled out and continued calling her name.


    Cordelia and Zephyr exchanged a meaningful look, seeing the doubt and helplessness in each other’s


    eyes.


    “I think I underestimated her,” Cordelia whispered. “I thought she was just ying childish games to win


    him back. I never thought…”


    “That Renee would gamble with her own life,” Zephyr finished.


    “Regardless, I don’t think we can persuade Toph right now,” Cordelia said.


    Zephyr turned to her. “Wifey, don’t you find it strange?”


    She was taken aback. “You do, too?”


    And then, they said simultaneously, “Where did she get the sleeping pills?”


    Their words struck Linda and Nichs. They had been consumed with worry about Renee attempting


    suicide, and they had forgotten about the sleeping pills.


    “I used to take those pills when I suffered from depression,” Linda revealed. “But since Pammy came


    home, my condition improved, and she helped me stop taking them. I threw them all away!”


    Cordelia asked, “So, there are no more sleeping pills at home, correct?”


    Nichs and Linda nodded firmly.


    “Sleeping pills require a prescription. She couldn’t have obtained them without one unless she had


    some other way,” Cordelia inferred. “Linda, have you ever been in her room?”


    “How could we?” Nichs shook his head. “We respect the kids’ privacy. They don’t want us entering


    their rooms, so we never did.”


    “In times like these, I’m afraid we’ll have to break that rule,” Cordelia said, biting her lip. “Linda, I’d like


    to take a look in her room while she’s in the hospital.”
