“Mabes...”Blair was just about to say something when the operating room door opened.Mable stopped paying attention to Blair and immediately rushed forward. “Doctor, how is my brother?”The doctor removed his mask and said, “The bleeding has stopped. Fortunately, it wasn’t a critical injury, so his life is not in danger. The patient has been transferred to his ward. He should regain consciousness once the anesthesia wears off...”Mable let out a heavy sigh of relief. “Thank you, Doctor.”The doctor gave her some instructions on what to look out for.When he left, Mable rushed to the ward.Jeremiah wore an oxygen mask. He was still unconscious, and his face was pale as a sheet due to excessive blood loss...Although his life was not in danger, Mable was still filled with worry....Meanwhile, Blair learned of Jeremiah’s condition and left the hospital.Although he wanted to see Mable, he knew that Mable would not meet him now. Even if she did, she would not be happy to see h
After watching the video, Blair had a clear understanding.The moment he said the word ‘no’, he had fallen under Jeremiah’s hypnosis.Blair had taken precautions after receiving Jeremiah’s call yesterday.He knew that Jeremiah’s sudden request for a meeting was not well-intentioned, and he had some idea of what Jeremiah wanted to do.Thus, not only did he prepare a pinhole camera, but he also maintained a high level of vigilance throughout the entire meeting. Unexpectedly, even with such precautions, he still ended up hypnotized.It was clear how powerful Jeremiah’s hypnosis was.Jeremiah hypnotized him not to make him forget Mable or harm himself. Instead, he forced Blair to hurt him...Coincidentally, Mable appeared at that moment...Blair sneered, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.It was clear that Jeremiah carefully staged this play for Mable to see.His purpose was to make Mable hate Blair.After watching the video, Solomon understood what happened and realized w
Fortunately, she did not easily believe Blair’s sweet words.Jeremiah held Mable’s hand. “Astrid, in the past, I wasn’t by your side. I couldn’t protect you or seek revenge for you when you were bullied or hurt by Blair. However, now, I’ll protect you. I won’t let you suffer any harm.”Mable nodded and looked at her brother guiltily. “Don’t worry, Jeremiah. I won’t be deceived by Blair again.”If not for her, Jeremiah would not have met Blair, and he would not have been injured.Mable felt deeply remorseful.It was all her fault....Late at night, Mable returned home under Jeremiah’s insistence, leaving his assistant at the hospital to take care of him.She planned to come back to the hospital early the next morning with breakfast to check on him.After Mable left, Jeremiah looked at his assistant and asked, “Are there any movements from Blair?”“He came by when you were still in surgery, but Miss slapped him. He left after your surgery was over. Currently, our people are st
It had been nearly three years since Zoe’s death.Rory stared at the woman in the photo who looked identical to Zoe and frowned deeply.How could two people look so similar in the world?Zoe also never mentioned having a twin before. In that case, who was this woman?Adam looked at Rory and said, “I also think that the woman in this picture looks like Zoe.”Rory stared at the photo and narrowed his eyes.“Where was this photo taken?”“Snowdale, Dorland.”Snowdale was a famous place for enjoying snow scenery in Dorland. Except for summer when there was no snow, the remaining three seasons had heavy snowfall.The photo was taken at Glace Plaza in Snowdale.Rory stared thoughtfully at the woman in the photo for a while before saying, “Send someone to investigate thoroughly.”Adam nodded and took the phone back.Rory continued, “As far as I know, Zoe doesn’t have a blood-related sister. The probability of two people without blood relation looking the same is too small.”Adam l
Zoe felt embarrassed and hid under the blanket with a blush.Kyle was in a great mood and chuckled, pulling her out. “Don’t hide your head.”Zoe snuggled into his arms and asked drowsily, “What time is it now?”“Nine. Are you hungry?”Zoe shook her head. “No.”Kyle stroked her head affectionately. “Then sleep a bit more.”Last night was so intense that she almost fainted from exhaustion, so he let her rest well in the hotel today.“I don’t want to sleep.”Zoe rubbed her eyes and looked up at Kyle. “Ky, let’s go skiing today.”Kyle raised his brows. “You still want to ski?”The day they arrived at Snowdale, she slipped and fell the moment she got out of the car. Later, when they went to the frozen lake, she ignored his warnings and insisted on running on the lake, falling a few more times. His heart had ached terribly.If she went skiing with her sense of balance, she would probably fall from the hill.Zoe pouted and pleaded. “I watched a few skiing videos last night. They w
It was past noon when Zoe woke up again.She turned to look out the window and saw that the snowfall had grown lighter. Skiing must be fantastic in this weather.She wanted to sit up but felt a strong ache in her waist.At that moment, Kyle walked in carrying a tray. “You’re awake.”Compared to Zoe’s tiredness, Kyle looked much more energetic like someone satisfied after a good meal.He placed the lunch on the table and walked to the bedside to help her sit up. “Eat something first. We’ll soak in the hot spring later and get a massage to relax.”Zoe leaned on his shoulder and felt like her body was falling apart.“I don’t want to soak in the hot spring. I want to go skiing.” Even so, Zoe still wanted to go skiing.Kyle pinched her face and scolded. “You want to ski in your current condition? I won’t care if you end up rolling down the hill!”Zoe grumbled in dissatisfaction. “It’s all your fault. I told you to stop...”Kyle was exasperated and ruffled her long hair indulgently
However... He currently had no plans to have a child.Firstly, he wanted to enjoy a few more years alone with Zoe.Secondly, Zoe suffered a severe injury before. Even though she recovered, her body was not suited for pregnancy. If they were to plan for a baby, she would need to undergo many tests...The risks of pregnancy for Zoe were much higher than for an average woman.Although Kyle also wanted to have a child with her, he did not want one at the risk of Zoe’s life.Zoe noticed his gaze and raised her head, looking puzzled. “Why are you staring at me?”Kyle snapped out of his thoughts and placed some food on her plate. “It’s because you’re so pretty that I can’t get enough of looking at you.”He wanted to look at her forever.Zoe laughed.Kyle looked at the message his mother sent and remembered something.He opened a food delivery app and brought some pills.After finishing her meal, Zoe moved around in the living room, preparing to pack her swimsuit for the hot spring
Zoe stared into Kyle’s eyes. Although she felt a bit sad, she understood that he did it for her own good.She pursed her lips and said softly, “Okay, Ky.”Although she was not very smart and did not understand many things, there was one thing she was clear about.Kyle loved her very much, just like how she loved him.Kyle said gently, “Zoe, wait another two years. When your health improves a bit more, we’ll have a baby, okay?”Zoe was twenty-six now and would be twenty-eight in two years. It would not be considered advanced maternal age for pregnancy.Zoe hugged Kyle and buried her head in his neck, nodding silently.Kyle gently stroked her head. “Are you still angry?”Zoe shook her head and said in a teary voice, “I’m not angry. I know you’re doing it for my own good. I wasn’t sensible enough.”“Silly girl. You’re plenty sensible.”Zoe suddenly felt insecure. “Ky, will you dislike me?”Kyle raised his brows and pinched her nose. “What would I dislike about you? Dislike how
