Blair was slightly startled by Wilbur’s question. "Please."Wilbur inquired, "Who's the one who hypnotized Miss M?"Before Blair could respond, someone else chimed in. "It seems Mr. Hammond and I have the same thought. If the person who hypnotized Miss M can undo the hypnosis, it would be much safer.""Yes, because he understands the restrictions placed during hypnosis," Wilbur interrupted. "Mr. Fowler, by calling this conference and gathering us here, it implies that the person who hypnotized Miss M is either dead or absolutely unwilling to allow her to be hypnotized again."Otherwise, why would Blair turn to them for help?Blair nodded. "Mr. Hammond is right."Wilbur continued with his question, "Regardless of whether he's alive or not, I just want to know who this person is."An elderly African American man also said, "I'm curious, too. Who is this person? I wonder if I know him."Blair thought momentarily and said, "His name is Jeremiah Muller.""Jeremiah Muller?" The olde
Spike had experience flying kites. He and Nicki worked together seamlessly, quickly sending the kite soaring into the sky."Little Lemon, look! Spike’s kite is flying so high!" Little Lemon pointed at the kite in the sky, her face filled with wonder.Tracey sat down beside Mable and commented, "Even though my brother is usually busy, he used to accompany the two kids and taught Spike and Nicki how to fly kites. Look at how well they're doing."Mable nodded in agreement. "He's their father. Spending time with his children is what he should do."While Tracey played with Lemon in her arms, she asked, "Mabes, has my brother called you?"Mable's expression shifted slightly. "He's on a business trip. Why would he call me?"Blair messaged her every day, but she has yet to reply. Perhaps knowing that calling her might not get an answer, he had reached the villa's landline last night, and Spike had answered.Tracey looked at Mable and said, "Mabes, I hate to say this, but sometimes you
In Linshed.Blair hung up the phone with Mable, feeling a hint of worry. Who sent those photos to Mable? Rory?Apart from him, Blair could not think of anyone else.Blair thought momentarily and asked Amos, "Have there been any recent developments with Rory?""Rory?" Amos was momentarily puzzled. Then, he recalled the news from Italee a few days ago and said, "Secret and Muller Corporation have had some major collaborations recently, and Rory has been getting close to Jeremiah. Besides that, nothing particularly noteworthy."Blair nodded but remained silent. At this moment, Solomon walked in and asked, "Master Blair, how did your meeting with Wilbur go?"Blair replied, "He's confident he can break Mabes' hypnosis.”Solomon looked surprised. “Really?!”“But he needs to assess her condition first."“That makes sense. Mable’s hypnosis is not a small matter. However…”Solomon paused before asking in concern, "How do we convince her to accept the treatment? She doesn't believe
When Mable arrived at the meeting place, Adam had been waiting for a while.She sat and asked, "Adam, what did you want to discuss with me?"Adam did not beat around the bush and said, "I talked to Rory about Zoe's situation. He was adamant and even issued a direct order for me to bring Zoe back to Italee."Stunned, Mable frowned at the news. "You're telling me this because you want my help?"Adam nodded. "Kyle has been keeping a close eye on Zoe. Unless I use force, it’s unlikely I will get close to her. But I'm afraid of hurting Zoe if I do that, so I need your assistance."Mable remained silent for a long while. "What do you want me to do?"Adam replied, "Arrange a private meeting with Zoe. You do not need to worry about anything else."It seemed to be the best plan he could think of. Once Zoe was on the plane, everything would be resolved.Mable was hesitant.Adam gazed at Mable. "Mabes, Zoe trusts you. If you invite her, she'll surely come out."Mable could only sigh.
As Anthony heard Mable's words, his eyes immediately turned cold. He stared at Mable and spoke slowly, "He certainly wouldn't mention me to you because, in his eyes, I'm a dead man, and he's the one who personally took care of it."Mable looked at Anthony with a hint of wariness. Her intuition told her he was not a good person. "So, how did you survive?"Anthony smiled and replied, "I guess I'm just lucky.""If you have issues with Blair, you should talk to him. I don't want to get involved in your conflicts.”Anthony sized Mable up and remarked, "These don't sound like words you would say. In the past, you always defended Blair. Why are you so indifferent now? Could it be that you've forgotten your feelings for him due to your amnesia?"Mable tightened her jaw, refusing to speak."Hehehe..." Anthony suddenly burst into laughter, and his mood lifted. "Looks like I hit the nail on the head!"Mable remained impassive. "My affairs have nothing to do with you!""Someday, you'll rea
Mable shook her head, changing the topic.That evening, Mable called Zoe and arranged dinner together the next day. Since Zoe did not have much going on, she agreed.The next day, after dropping off Spike and Nicki at school, Mable stopped by Kyle's house to pick up Zoe. Zoe was in a great mood. While chatting with Mable about everything that had happened in the past few days, her face would light up.As they passed by a shopping mall, Mable asked the driver to stop the car, saying she wanted to buy some things. Zoe exited the car, stating, "Mabes, I'll come with you.""Sure," Mable agreed, already having this in mind.Mable headed to the baby products store to buy Lemon's probiotics and vitamins.On the other hand, Zoe could not take her eyes off the adorable baby clothes hanging in the infant clothing section. "These baby clothes are so cute. Next time, I'll have to bring Kyle with me to pick out some for our baby."Hearing this, Mable paused and asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Meanwhile, at the airport. Adam had arranged for a private plane. Concerned about any unforeseen circumstances, he took Zoe to the airport and proceeded with the check-in.However, during the boarding process, several speeding cars suddenly rushed in their direction, heading straight for them. Adam frowned, not expecting Kyle to discover them so quickly. Just as Adam was about to carry Zoe onto the plane, a bullet hit the ground near his feet.Adam halted his steps, his eyes filled with anger. "Sir, be careful!"His men quickly surrounded them, aiming their guns at the oncoming cars, shielding Adam and Zoe behind them. The sports cars stopped just a few steps from the plane.Kyle, who had been driving the leading car, came to a stop, holding an Austrian Glock 17 pistol in his hand. Tension ran high on both sides, and the situation was on the brink of eruption."Adam, put Zoe down!" Looking at the unconscious Zoe in Adam’s arms, Kyle’s face filled with rage.Adam handed
Adam put his glasses back on and smiled somewhat cryptically. "You should know that I always follow Rorr's orders. Besides, you've already left Secret, so what authority do you have to command me?"Mable raised her chin, her eyes showing no emotion. "So, are you going to get tough with me?"Adam stared at Mable, and the two remained locked in a standoff for a few seconds. In the end, Adam decided to put away his gun.He looked at the unconscious Zoe and glanced at Kyle not far away before asking, "Mable, can I know the reason?"What made you change your mind so suddenly?""I just don't want Zoe to get hurt," Mable replied."I promised you—"Mable interrupted Adam. "I'm not confident.""Adam, go back to Italee. I'll call Rory to explain this to him. I won't let him make things difficult for you.""Mable, do you think I'm worried about Rorr making things difficult? If Zoe regains her memory, she'll blame you for not letting me take her away today.” With that, Adam waved to his
“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
