“Jeremiah’s injury...”Blair wanted to explain, but Mable did not give him the chance to.“Forget it.”She sighed and interrupted his words, not wanting to bring up that matter. The more she thought about it, the less she wanted to face him.“I’m tired too. You should leave.”Blair saw that she had something on her mind and did not insist on staying.He walked over to the bed, looked at the sleeping Lemon, and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Rest well. Call me anytime if you need anything,” he said to Mable.Mable nodded and sent Blair out of the ward....On the way back to the hotel, Blair kept feeling that Mable was acting strange tonight. She was likely hiding something from him.There was probably another motive for her to agree to him seeing Lemon at the hospital.What was her motive?Blair could not figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.Back at the hotel, he went to take a shower.However, halfway through the shower, he suddenly noticed a needle mark on
Mable clenched her phone and was silent for a while before asking, “Rory, can the male base really neutralize the Necro Poison?”Over the phone, Rory laughed and said, “Are you questioning my expertise?”Mable did not answer.She was not questioning Rory’s expertise. It just seemed too coincidental and unbelievable.Such a rare occurrence happened to Blair.“How can we extract the male base from Blair’s body?” she asked.“There’s only one way, and it’s very simple...”Mable’s face changed slightly as she listened to Rory’s words over the phone.“What...” She hesitated.Rory said, “Mable, this is the only way to save Lemon. Think carefully.”Mable turned to look at Lemon sleeping on the bed. As a mother, she could not give up on any opportunity to save her daughter.Even if that was...“I know.”Then, she hung up the phone....Meanwhile, Rory sat in his study and put down his phone. He lifted Blair’s blood sample to look at it, his gaze dark.He knew Mable too well. She
The next day, Rory received a message in the morning with a time and place.Without guessing, he immediately knew it was from the man who contacted him the night before.In the afternoon, Rory unusually arrived at the agreed-upon café on time.When he arrived, he immediately spotted a man sitting by the window.The man’s attire was the same as the first few times Rory saw him—a light blue-green robe and long black hair, exuding a somewhat ancient charm...Rory walked over. When the man saw him, he raised his chin slightly and smiled slyly.“Rory, we meet again.”Rory sat down across from him. “I’ve been looking for you for more than three years.”The man held a lotus-pink thermos cup that completely clashed against his demeanor.He glanced at Rory mockingly and teased. “You couldn’t find me even after three years? How incompetent.”He knew that Rory had been searching for him. Blair was also looking for him.However, he did not know why they were looking for him.He intende
Although Wilbur and Yohan studied under the same master, they were arch enemies.Especially after the incident that year, their relationship became even more hostile. If Yohan were still alive, he would not have tried to find Wilbur, let alone let Wilbur live so peacefully all these years.Rory stared at him, confirming from the latter’s words that Wilbur’s relationship with his adoptive father was not good.With that realization, Rory became even more cautious.“It seems you weren’t on good terms with my father.”Wilbur raised his eyes and stared at Rory. “That’s right, but in any case, we studied under the same master. As his junior, I should still pay my respects to him.”Rory refused. “That’s not necessary. Before he passed, my father mentioned he didn’t want unrelated people to disturb his peace.”Wilbur did not get angry and smiled instead. “Is that so? He has always liked peace and quiet. How traditional and boring.”Rory’s expression darkened. “Choose your words wisely,
Rory said, “Not yet. If you want to see it, I can get it for you in a few days.”Wilbur nodded. “I can try, but I can’t guarantee a cure.”“How confident are you?”“Around ten percent.”Rory frowned. “That low?”Wilbur stared at him coldly. “Heh. I’m skilled in medicine, not magic. Not every ailment can be cured!”Rory fell silent.Wilbur stood up and said, “Send me the medical records first. We’ll talk about the details once I see her condition.”Rory asked, “So, is that a yes?”Wilbur nodded. “I have nothing much to do recently, so it wouldn’t hurt to kill some time.”“Okay. I’ll send it to you later.”Wilbur looked at Rory meaningfully, then left the café.Rory watched him leave and narrowed his eyes.“Wilbur Hammond...”He muttered the name. Judging by the name alone, there was indeed a possibility that Wilbur was his adoptive father’s junior.However, why had his adoptive father never mentioned him?Rory felt that the relationship between his adoptive father and Wi
Kyle had been busy discussing the details of cooperation with Thandi these days.They finally settled everything yesterday, so he took some time today to accompany Zoe to the art convention she had been longing to see.The exhibition was held for five days, and today was the last day. There would not be another chance if they did not go today.After breakfast, Kyle took Zoe out.In the car, Zoe held his arm and smiled brightly. “Ky, let’s have lunch at the seafood restaurant after we finish the exhibition. I want to eat seafood.”“Okay.”Kyle looked at her indulgently. “Is there anything else you want other than seafood?”Zoe thought about it. “I also want smoothies and ice cream.”“Eating too much ice is not good for your health.”Zoe hugged him and pouted. “I haven’t had them in a long time. Just this once, okay? I won’t eat them next time.”Kyle chuckled and pinched her nose. “Greedy thing.”Zoe stuck her tongue out and beamed.The national art exhibition was held in the
Zoe looked at him in surprise. “More than a decade... I haven’t known Ky for a decade yet.”Adam took out his phone and showed Zoe a photo of them in the past. “Zoe, my name is Adam Brooks. Think carefully.”“Adam... Brooks...”Zoe looked at the photo and tilted her head, still unable to remember. “I’m sorry. I had a head injury before, so I don’t remember many things.”Adam held her hand. “Zoe, are you willing to come to me? I’ll take you back to the castle. Rorr will cure you.’“Who’s Rorr?”Before Adam could answer, Zoe shook his hand off. “I’m not going. I don’t want to leave Ky.”“Zoe...”Just as Adam was about to speak, his subordinate approached and whispered in his ear that Kyle was coming this way.Adam frowned. Now was not the right time to confront Kyle. He was afraid of hurting Zoe.“Zoe, this is my number. Call me if you need anything. I’ll come to find you again. Also, don’t tell Kyle that you saw me.”Adam gave Zoe a card with his phone number and looked at he
Kyle looked at Zoe and introduced her, “This is my wife, Zoe.”Mola was surprised. “Wife? Mr. Goodman, you...married?”She did not know that.She always thought that Kyle was single and even wanted to use her godfather’s cooperation with X to get close to him.It was no wonder he showed no interest last time at the hotel.Kyle said coldly, “I’ve been married for two years.”Mola smiled faintly at Zoe and held out her hand. “Hello, Mrs. Goodman. I’m Mola.”Zoe looked at Kyle, then stood up to shake Mola’s hand, smiling politely. “Hello, Ms. Mola.”Mola sized Zoe up. “You’re very pretty, Mrs. Goodman.”She looked nice, but she lacked a certain charm.It turned out that Kyle liked the pure and innocent types.Kyle looked at Mola and said indifferently, “Do you need something?”Mola laughed. “Mr. Goodman, are you upset that I interrupted your private time?”Kyle took a sip of water and put on gloves to peel the crayfish.Mola continued, “It seems you like the crayfish in this
“Arthur proposed to Tracey?!”In the afternoon, Tracey posted several photos of her and Arthur in a hot air balloon. In one of the photos, she held a bouquet with a dazzling ring on her ring finger.[Yes, I do.]That was the caption.Blair hugged Mable and nodded with a smile. “Yeah, Arthur proposed to her today. Trace called to say they’ll prepare for the wedding after they return from their trip.”“That’s great!”Mable was sincerely happy for Tracey and Arthur.She asked Blair, “Do they have any ideas for the wedding? We can help them prepare in advance.”Blair said, “We can call Trace and ask.”Mable looked at the time. It was midnight in Monafett, and she did not want to disturb them by calling at this hour. She smiled and said, “I’ll call her tomorrow.”Getting two good news in a row today made Mable feel particularly good. After dinner, she could not help but want to drink some wine to celebrate.Blair had not drunk for a long time, either. Seeing her in high spirits,
Kyle stared into Zoe’s eyes. He had indeed noticed it, but he was not sure yet.However, when Zoe called him by his full name, he was completely certain.Zoe had regained her memories.From the moment she woke up, her emotions had been off. Even Monica noticed something wrong with her, so how could he not have seen it?Kyle looked at Zoe, reaching out to brush the hair by her temples. “It’s been a long time since you called me that.”Zoe had not called him since waking up, but as soon as she did, she called him Kyle instead of Ky. He knew then she must have remembered everything.Although Kyle knew that this day would come sooner or later, he did not expect her to regain her memories at this moment.He was completely unprepared and caught off guard.Zoe lowered her head. “That’s what I used to call you, but you tricked me into calling you Ky.”She remembered everything as soon as she woke up.The events that happened when she had forgotten felt like a dream, too surreal to be
Kyle named the baby Six not only because he was born at 6 pounds and 6 ounces but also because June 6th was the day they first met.He would always remember the scene when he first saw Zoe, even though their relationship started with deception, manipulation, and even revenge.Kyle caressed Zoe’s cheek and said, “Zoe, I’ve never told you this, but I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was love at first sight.“I want you to stay by my side forever and let me stay by your side forever. I’ll never let you go again in this lifetime.”Zoe’s eyes slowly reddened as she listened to Kyle’s heartfelt words.Indeed, she never knew he fell in love with her at first sight...They both did.Kyle gently wiped away her tears. “Zoe, I promise you. We’ll only part in death, never in life.”Zoe choked and nodded, burying her face in his chest as she cried.In her arms, Six seemed to sense his mother’s emotions and moved restlessly.Zoe quickly comforted him.“Let me.” Kyle took the
At the hospital. When Zoe woke up again, it was already the next morning.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Kyle sitting by her bedside.Kyle noticed her waking up and quickly held her hand. “Zoe, you’re awake. How do you feel?”Zoe stared at the man in front of her and blinked, feeling shocked.When she did not answer, Kyle immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”Zoe remained silent and continued to stare at him. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her nose tingled with a strong sense of sourness.Kyle’s heart clenched at the sight. “Zoe, don’t scare me like this. Zoe...”He was getting anxious and was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly grabbed his hand. “I... I’m okay. I just had a nightmare. I’m a bit groggy after waking up.”Kyle hugged her, his warm hand gently patting her back. “It’s okay. I’ve been by your side all along.”Zoe buried her face in his shoulder, softly humming without saying anything.At that mom
“I see.”Outside the delivery room, Kyle’s family and the others were still waiting anxiously.Close to midnight, the door finally opened, and the nurse carried the baby out.“It’s a boy. Both mother and son are safe.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Before long, Zoe was pushed out. Monica checked on the baby before hurriedly walking to Zoe’s side and taking her hand. “Zoe, you did so well.”“I’m okay, Mom.”Zoe was still very weak after just giving birth, and her voice was weak. Monica immediately told her husband to call the servants to brew a tonic and sent it over.Mable walked to Zoe and felt her heart ache when she saw the latter’s pale face, but she smiled and said, “Congratulations, Zoe.”Zoe smiled, no longer having the strength to speak.Blair and Solomon congratulated Kyle.Kyle nodded, not paying attention to them, and took Zoe back to the ward with the nurse.Zoe was a first-time mother, so she was extremely exhausted after giving birth an
As soon as Mable learned that Zoe was about to go into labor, she rushed to the hospital immediately. It was late at night, and Blair was worried, so he accompanied her.When the two arrived at the hospital, Zoe had already been taken into the delivery room. Kyle followed her in, but his parents waited anxiously outside.Mable looked at Monica and Floyd and asked, “Isn’t Zoe’s due date still about ten days away? Why did it suddenly come early?”Monica said, “We’re not sure, either. After dinner tonight, Zoe said her stomach was hurting. Kyle helped her upstairs to rest, but not long after, he called for someone to prepare the car to go to the hospital...”Seeing Mable stare anxiously at the delivery room, Blair held her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Zoe has been healthy her whole pregnancy. There shouldn’t be any problems.”Mable nodded. “Yeah, I hope both the mother and child are safe.”Soon, Solomon and Ines also arrived.Solomon greeted Kyle’s parents and asked, “How
Without saying anything, Solomon placed his behind Ines’ head and kissed her.Ines wrapped her arms around his waist...Knock, knock!The untimely sound of knocking interrupted them.Ines jumped like a startled deer, eyes wide and cheeks red.The servant’s voice came from outside. “Sir, dinner is ready.”Solomon hugged Ines and cleared his throat. “Got it. We’ll be right there.”The servant acknowledged and left.Ines buried her head in Solomon’s chest and took a deep breath before saying, “Let’s go. Don’t want your parents to wait too long.”“Yeah.”Solomon stroked her head and looked at the drawing he had just completed. “Once it’s dry, I’ll have it framed and hang it in the bedroom, okay?”Ines asked, “In this bedroom?”Solomon nodded and kissed her forehead. “Yeah, we’ll probably come back to stay here often in the future.”Ines pursed her lips and smiled silently.“Let’s go have dinner.” Solomon led her downstairs.After having dinner at the Rowland residence, Solom
Solomon embraced Ines from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “I learned to draw when I was young and almost did fine arts for college.”“Why didn’t you?”Winning first prize in a national art competition indicated a high level of drawing skill.Solomon said, “Painting is just one of my many interests. I do it to pass the time when I’m bored. I’ve never thought of becoming an artist.”Ines nodded. “I see.”Solomon suddenly perked up and opened a small cabinet beside the bookshelf, taking out a canvas and some paints. “Come on, I’ll draw a portrait.”Ines was stunned. “Of me?”“Yep. Give me a moment.”Solomon led Ines to sit on the sofa, then went out to find a servant to bring him the easel.Although he had not painted in many years, he still had all the tools he used before.Before long, the servant helped him bring in the easel and other tools.After looking at the layout of the bedroom, Solomon asked Ines to sit in the soft chair by the window, where the lighting w
Ines blinked. “I was just thinking about what to bring to your house tomorrow. I can’t go empty-handed...”Solomon laughed at her words. “You don’t need to bring anything. Just seeing you will make them happy.”“That won’t do. I still need to buy something.”Although she knew that Solomon’s parents did not lack anything, she could not just go without a gift. It was still necessary to have proper etiquette.Ines was a little nervous at the thought of visiting his parents tomorrow. “Can you tell me what your parents are like?”Solomon noticed her nervousness and squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry. My mom and dad are very nice. They won’t make things difficult for you.”Ines looked at him and nodded.With him by her side, she was not that worried.She heard Solomon say that his father liked tea, so she bought a gift box from the supermarket. In addition, she also brought some nutritional supplements to bring along when they go to Solomon’s house tomorrow.After buying everything, th
