Wilbur laughed. “Not me? Then who is it?”Blair thought about it and went straight to the point. “Do you have an assistant named Anthony Fowler?”Wilbur did not hide it. “So what if I do?”“Was it you who saved him that year?”Wilbur chuckled softly. “Yes. I have a strange habit. If I save someone’s life, I won’t let them die easily. I saved him back then since Stephen entrusted him to me, but unexpectedly, someone tried to kill him a few days later.“That’s unacceptable. How can someone I just saved die immediately after? That’ll ruin my reputation. Thus, I saved him again.”Blair finally understood what happened.It was no wonder Anthony survived until now. It was because he was saved.He pondered for a moment before asking, “What is your relationship with Anthony?”“We’re partners. He pays me, I treat his illness.”For the past decade or so, Wilbur had mostly been active in North Erebar. With his excellent medical skills, many nobles in North Erebar treated him as an estee
In Linshed, Wilbur hung up the phone and called Anthony.“Come to my room.”Then, he hung up before Anthony could ask the reason.Before long, Anthony knocked on the door and walked in, wearing a bathrobe.He had just finished showering. His hair was still wet, and water droplets slid down his neck, dampening the collar of his bathrobe.“What is it?” he asked Wilbur.Wilbur asked, “What did you do in Richworth?”Anthony raised his brows and paused. “Personal matters.”“I don’t care what personal matters you have, but remember one thing. Don’t mess with Blair, especially during this period!”The compensation offered by Blair was not low, and Wilbur needed the money now. If Anthony messed things up, it would be a great loss.Anthony laughed at the words. “Did Blair call you?”He sat down on the couch and said indifferently, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t interfere in my personal affairs? This is a feud between Blair and me. It’ll come to a head sooner or later. You...”“I don’t
Spike pulled out a spare blanket from the cabinet. “I have this, so I won’t be cold. Go to sleep.”He tucked Nicki into bed and then lay down on the couch.Fortunately, the couch was large, so he did not feel cramped at all.Nicki lay on her side, looking at the couch. “Hubert, can you leave the lights on?”“Okay. Go to sleep.”“Hubert, I can’t sleep. Tell me a story?”Spike was silent.When he did not answer, Nicki sat up and asked, “Hubert, are you asleep?”Spike was speechless. “It’s 11. Mommy and Daddy will lecture us if they find out we’re still awake.”“Oh.”After a while, Nicki said again, “Hubert, I can’t sleep...”Spike rubbed his temples and said, “Nicole Fowler, if you can’t sleep, then count sheep.”Nicki pouted, closed her eyes, and started counting sleep.Spike was amused as he listened.Gradually, her voice became softer...After a while, he sat up and found that she had fallen asleep.He went to the bed, tucked her in again, turned on the night light by
Zoe moved to the Goodman Residence after she became pregnant.Kyle delegated most of his work to his subordinates, freeing up time to accompany Zoe. The few tasks he needed to handle personally were mostly brought home to his study.Zoe started feeling sleepy and easily tired one month into her pregnancy. Her appetite was not great, and she often felt nauseous. Being experienced, Monica had the nutritionist at home prepare various delicate and delicious supplements for her.When Mable and Blair visited, Zoe was eating under Kyle’s ‘care’.After a few bites, she felt nauseous again.However, she forced herself to swallow for the sake of her baby.Kyle’s heart broke when he saw Zoe suffer like this.When Mable arrived, Zoe’s mood improved slightly.“Mabes, you’re here.”Kyle glanced at Mable and shot her a nasty look.Mable ignored him and walked up to Zoe, taking her hand. “Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”Zoe pouted and complained, “I can’t eat anythi
Kyle nodded and said, “I heard about Anthony from Solomon. I really didn’t expect him to be lucky enough to survive all that.”Blair said, “Wilbur saved him.”“Wilbur?” Kyle was confused. “What does he have to do with this?”Blair told Kyle about what Wilbur said to him on the phone last night.Kyle said, “Wilbur knows Anthony?”...In the garden, Mable and Zoe sat under the shade of a tree, chatting about pregnancy.Mable had experience and told Zoe about many precautions. Finally, she asked about the gender of the child.“Do you want a boy or a girl?”Zoe was all smiles. “I’d love either a boy or a girl. They’ll be my little angel, but Ky says he wants a girl that’s similar to me. He also said that girls are more considerate.”Mable laughed. “Girls and boys are both equally considerate.”“Exactly. Look at Spike. Isn’t he considerate too?”Zoe was full of expectations for the child in her belly.Seeing her so happy, Mable felt that her decision to intercept Adam at the ai
Inside a rented apartment.Olivia sat on the sofa, holding a phone in her hand. She was afraid Nicki would hang up, so when the call was picked up, she quickly said, "Nicki, it's Mommy. Don't be scared; Mommy won't hurt you. Mommy missed you so much and wants to talk to you."It was silent on the other end of the phone, so Olivia continued, "In these past few years, Mommy hasn't been by your side. Are you doing well? It was all Mommy's fault in the past. Mommy shouldn't have treated you that way. Mommy regrets it a lot. I'm sorry, Nicki. Please believe that Mommy still loves you in her heart."There was still no response from the phone.However, Olivia was not angry and continued to speak with remorse.After talking for a while, when Nicki still did not say anything, Olivia became anxious. "Hello? Nicki, are you listening to Mommy?“I know you're still angry with me, but Mommy had her reasons back then. You are Mommy's only family. Please forgive Mommy. If you don't forgive Mommy
At the Royal View Villa.Nicki held her digital watch connected to her phone, her little face filled with hesitation. It seemed like her mommy had changed for the better, meaning Nicki would have a mom from now on. Although Uncle Blair, Aunt Mable, and Hubert were all very nice to her, Nicki still wanted a mother. The others had both mother and father, but she only had a parent left. Now that Olivia was getting better, she would be nice to Nicki. Nicki could not help but smile while thinking of this. She wanted to tell Hubert this good news but then remembered Olivia’s instructions and hesitated. She had promised to keep it a secret.Nicki lay on the bed and thought about it. In the end, she decided not to tell Hubert for now. She wanted to make her Mommy proud and be a good girl.…Mable and Blair left Goodman Mansion and took Mable to the hospital for hand rehabilitation therapy in the afternoon. Blair's eyes were distressed while watching Mable receive treatmen
On Laren Mountain.The mountain's summit was shrouded in morning mist. Wilbur had kept watch all night before he finally obtained what he had been waiting for at the first sight of sunlight.Wilbur took out a small bottle he had been carrying and was about to collect the newly hatched larva when a strong gust of wind suddenly came from behind.Instinctively, Wilbur dodged as a white figure flashed by. The sound of tinkling silver bells echoed in his ears.Once he regained his balance, Wilbur saw a woman who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere holding the larva he had guarded all night."Who are you?"The woman stood a few steps away from Wilbur. She was dressed in an intricate embroidered dress, her lengthy hair pinned with a silver hairpin. There was a silver bell collar around her neck, and a small basket on her back.She smiled innocently. "Me? I'm Eugenie Landon."Wilbur was not interested in who she was. He had guarded the larva all night and could not let someone else
