Jeremiah had stayed at the hospital for three days, and his wound was healing well. In a couple of days, the stitches would be removed, and he could leave the hospital.During his recovery days, Jeremiah kept himself busy in the hospital room. Whenever Mable was not around, he would open his laptop and attend to his work.After having lunch and thinking Mable would visit soon, Jeremiah closed his laptop. He did not want her to see him working while lying in the hospital bed; she would only give him an earful.Just as he closed the laptop, there was a knock on the hospital room door.The bodyguard outside the door pushed it open and said, "Master, Mr. Fowler is here."Considering that Blair was the one who had injured Jeremiah, the bodyguards did not dare to let him in without confirming it with Jeremiah.Jeremiah sat on the bed, a faint smile playing on his lips.Blair had finally decided to show up.Jeremiah spoke, "Let him in.""Okay."Blair did not take long to enter the r
Rory stood at the door, watching the tense scene inside the hospital room. A smirk played on his face.When Blair faced Jeremiah, unless he disregarded Mable's well-being, Blair would not stand much of a chance in this fight.Rory chuckled softly and said, "Looks like I arrived at an interesting time."The two inside the room heard his voice and turned to Rory at the doorway.Blair furrowed his brow, wondering what brought Rory there.Rory entered the hospital room with Adam holding a bouquet behind him.Rory looked at Jeremiah, who, despite his injuries, seemed in good spirits. "I heard you got yourself stabbed. I thought I'd drop by and see how you’re holding up."He could not help but glance at Blair, standing nearby as he spoke.Jeremiah nodded slightly. "As long as you're not here to enjoy the show."Rory grinned. "Of course not. If I enjoyed your misery, Mable would kill me!"Mentioning Mable seemed to darken Blair's already somber expression.At this moment, Rory look
"Mr. Fowler."Blair had just arrived at the door when Adam suddenly called him.Blair stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Adam.Adam had a faintly indifferent smile on his face. "I have a question for you."Blair remained silent.Adam continued, "I heard Mr. Kyle has gotten married, and his wife's name seems to be Zoe?"Rory also looked at Blair. He and Kyle were close, so he could not possibly know who Kyle's wife was.Blair felt a slight tension in his heart, but his face showed no emotion.His earlier hunch was correct. Secret had indeed investigated Kyle last time, especially regarding Zoe being alive."No comment," Blair replied indifferently. With that, Blair turned and walked out.Adam and Rory exchanged a glance, their faces revealing nothing.After Blair left, Rory turned to look at Jeremiah.He put away the amused expression on his face, and his tone turned slightly cold as he asked, "What did you mean by what you just said to Blair?"Jeremiah furrowed hi
Last night, Mable had asked the kitchen staff to prepare some chicken soup, and she brought it to the hospital the following day to visit Jeremiah. Jeremiah had been staying at the hospital for the past few days, and Lemon missed him dearly. When Mable left home in the morning, Lemon wanted to go with her. So, she brought the child along.Upon arriving at the hospital and entering the building, Mable was shocked to see a familiar face—Blair.Her immediate thought was, ‘Why is Blair here?’Blair gazed at Mable, his eyes filled with tenderness. Blair had not contacted Mable again since their last encounter outside the operating room."Mabes,” Blair began."Why are you here, Blair?" Mable asked coldly, her expression turning frosty.Without waiting for Blair to respond, Mable could not help but think he must be here to see her brother, which made her nervous.The next moment, Blair spoke, "I came to check on Jeremiah."Just as she suspected! Mable's tone was laced with anger a
Mable quickly bent down and gently patted Lemon's head, soothing her. "My Little Lemon, let's go see your uncle."Lemon puckered her lips, her pacifier still in her mouth, and glanced at Blair.Mable ignored Blair and pushed the stroller towards the elevator.Blair watched Mable's receding figure, feeling a sharp pang of unease in his heart.Seeing Blair's grim expression, Amos cautiously inquired, "Master Blair, are you alright?"Blair did not reply and turned away from the hospital.Inside the hospital room.Mable pushed the door open and found Rory and Adam inside."Mable," Adam greeted her with a nod.Mable nodded, "Adam, Rory, you're here too."Rory crossed his arms, offering a half-smile. "Just paying a visit to our future brother-in-law."Mable raised an eyebrow. "What brother-in-law? Don't talk nonsense."Jeremiah glanced at Rory and chuckled. "Rory, if you want to be my brother-in-law, you'll have to put in more effort."Mable spoke with a hint of exasperation, "D
Rory held Lemon and looked at Mable by the bedside. "I'm laughing at you.""Mable, just because you don't want to see Blair and get entangled with him doesn't mean you can escape from him. He might be plotting something right now," he said. Rory gently touched Lemon's cheek. "Isn't that right, Little Lemon?"Of course, Little Lemon could not understand his words and simply giggled, holding Rory's fingers.Mable furrowed her brows. Lost in thought, she remained silent.Jeremiah looked at Mable and suggested, "Astrid, maybe you should take Little Lemon to Oliville for a while."That way, she could avoid Blair.Mable remained silent for a moment and then nodded. "I'll go once you're out of the hospital. It'll be a good opportunity to visit Dad.""Okay."Blair left the hospital and returned to the hotel. He had arranged for a flight back to Richworth two days later.Spike looked at his dad and asked, "Dad, am I going back too?""School is starting soon. You must return for classe
Jeremiah will probably be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Blair was concerned he might hypnotize Spike when he saw him."Alright, Dad," Spike responded. He did not ask why and obediently nodded. He knew it was for his good when Dad said so and did not care about the reason.Blair looked at Tracey and Arthur. "I'll return after dealing with things. You two watch the situation at the Muller Mansion and inform me if anything happens."Tracey and Arthur would continue staying in Italee instead of returning home with Blair."Brother, don't worry. I'll chat with Mabes often and find opportunities to talk to her about the past."The following day, the Muller's driver came to the hotel to pick up Spike. When he arrived at the Muller Mansion, Spike ran to his mommy."Mommy."He had not seen Mommy and Lemon for days and missed them.Although Mable hated Blair, she doted on Spike a lot. She picked him up and led him into the house. Knowing he was coming today, she instructed the ki
"Nicki!" It had been almost two months since Spike last saw Nicki."Hubert!""Nicki, I've brought you lots of gifts." Spike hopped out of the car and instructed the servant to take out his luggage, which contained the gifts he had bought for Nicki.Nicki, with her hair tied in a ponytail and wearing a peach-colored dress, looked lively and adorable at seven years old."Nicki." Blair ruffled Nicki's hair and suddenly thought of Little Lemon.When Lemon grew up, she would probably be just as lively and cute.Nicki glanced at the car but did not see Aunt Mable, so she asked, "Uncle Blair, didn't Aunt Mable come back with you?"Blair's eyes showed a hint of loneliness, and he shook his head slightly. "No, Aunt Mable is still in Italee."Spike held Nicki's hand and led her towards the house. "Nicki, have you been studying well and finished all your homework while I was away?"Nicki replied, "Hubert, I've finished all my homework."The housekeeper, Aunt Grace, prepared tea and drin
