"So, Uncle Wilbur, what are your plans for the future?" Wilbur stood up. "That’s my business. No need for you to worry."Seeing Wilbur about to leave, Eugenie caught up with him. "Wait, Uncle Wilbur, for the sake of my grandfather, why don't we cooperate?"Wilbur raised an eyebrow. "Cooperate?""If we're talking about Necro Poison, I must be the one who knows about it the most. Cooperating with me won't put you at a disadvantage."Wilbur looked at her with a half-smile. "Cooperation is fine, but I must see your sincerity first."Eugenie was not naive and understood what he meant. She smiled and did not say anything.…Mable returned home and told Blair about Zoe's situation."What about the doctor you mentioned? Is he reliable? Will he help you?""He once saved me, and he seems like an upright person. Since he promised me, I believe he won't back out."Mable did not mention to Blair that she had agreed to test the medicine for Wilbur.Blair thought for a moment, still a bi
At Goodman Mansion.Kyle received a call from Blair. After hearing about Wilbur, he fell into silence.It was a while before he spoke, "Do you trust this person?"Blair replied, "I trust him."Otherwise, he would not have invited him to Richworth to treat Mable."Let's arrange a time for him to meet Zoe," Kyle suggested. "How about Wednesday? I have a prenatal check-up with Zoe in the morning, so he can come to the hospital.""Alright."Kyle remembered another matter and said to Blair, "After Zoe completes her third prenatal check-up, I plan to take her to the island for focused pregnancy care."The island he mentioned belonged to Blair, where he and Mable had their second wedding.Blair agreed, "The island has a good environment and is very peaceful. It's suitable for pregnancy care. However, as it's on an island, the conditions are limited. You must arrange a medical team in advance and deploy a security team."Kyle nodded. "I'll make all the necessary arrangements before w
“Master Blair."Amos handed Blair a bottle of mineral water. Blair glanced at him, and the two exchanged a knowing look. Blair unscrewed the bottle cap and gave it to Mable."Mable, have some water."Mable did not think much and took a sip. Looking at Blair, she suggested, "The rehabilitation department doesn't start until 1.30 p.m., which is almost two hours from now. How about we go out for lunch and then come back?"Blair checked the time. "Can we wait for a bit? I need to meet a friend.""That's fine. I’m going to look at what good food is around," Mable said as she took out her phone and started browsing.However, for some reason, as she kept looking, drowsiness suddenly overwhelmed her. Her eyelids grew heavy, and she felt like falling asleep.Blair suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Mable leaning on him, fast asleep."Mabes." Blair patted her shoulder.Mable had already fallen asleep.Blair gently lifted her and asked, "Has Wilbur arrive
Mable opened her eyes and fell into mysterious depths.All her awareness was instantly imprisoned. Her gaze was unfocused, and she lost herself.Wilbur stared fixedly into Mable's eyes, a wicked smile curling on his lips. "Tell me your name.""Mable…"Wilbur asked again, "Mable, tell me. What do you care about the most?""The thing… I care about the most is the child..."Mable's gaze remained vacant, like a lifeless puppet. Whatever he asked, she responded."Who is the father of the child?""The father… of the child is Blair…""Who is Blair?" Wilbur's questions continued one after another."Blair… is the CEO of the Fowler Enterprise...”"Who is Blair to you?" Wilbur continued to ask."Blair is my husband… My love—"Mable's words suddenly stopped, as if an invisible hand had gripped her throat, preventing her from speaking.Wilbur narrowed his eyes, his dark gaze bottomless. "Who is Blair to you? A lover?"The word "lover" caused a struggle to flash in Mable's lifeless ey
Wilbur had not been so furious in many years. He could not believe how impulsive Blair had been. Wilbur looked at Blair, trying to control his anger. "Blair, even if you lack knowledge, you should have some common sense. Do you know how serious the consequences can be when you abruptly interrupt hypnosis?"Blair knew he had acted recklessly; barging in was inappropriate. Amos, who was present, tried to defend Blair, saying, "Madam looked frightening to Master Blair just now, so Master Blair acted out of concern."Wilbur chuckled and glanced at Amos and Blair. "With me here, there's nothing to worry about. Or do you not trust me, Blair?"Blair looked at Wilbur and admitted, "It's not that I don't trust you, but when it comes to Mabes, I have to be cautious."After a pause, Blair softened his tone. "Mr. Hammond, I was too impulsive just now. I'm sorry."Wilbur replied, "Forget it."Wilbur wished he had locked the door in hindsight.Seeing that Wilbur's mood had improved slight
Amos looked at Wilbur. "Mr. Hammond, is there no other way?"Wilbur shook his head. “I haven't thought of a better way for now." Then, he looked at Blair. "Consider it carefully. What's more important—love or life?"Blair gazed at Mable lying unconscious in the examination room, "Mabes' life is more important than anything."Wilbur glanced at him. "What about your life?"Blair remained silent for a moment before entering the room.Wilbur watched Blair walk and sit at Mable’s bedside. He raised her hand gently and kissed the back of her palm.Wilbur smiled slightly and left without a word.When Wilbur returned to his hotel, he found Anthony and Eugenie waiting in his room.“What’s up?”"Uncle Wilbur, do you have the blood sample from Mable?" Eugenie stood up and asked eagerly.Wilbur took Mable's blood sample from his bag and handed it to her. "Take it, but remember to show it to me when the results are out.""Sure thing." Eugenie took the blood sample with a bright smile on
She looked at Blair and smiled. "I had a dream.""What kind of dream?""I don't remember it too well, but it was a good dream."She only remembered that the weather in the dream was good. Blair and the children were all around her, and there was laughter and joy.Mable had not had a good dream in a long time and woke up feeling refreshed.Blair rubbed Mable's head and asked, "Was I in the dream?"“Yes."Once Mable was awake, she had lunch with Blair and went to the hospital in the afternoon for rehabilitation.By the time it ended, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.They returned home and saw Spike and Lemon playing in the living room."Where’s Nicki?" Mable asked."She went back to her room after lunch," Spike said.Nicki had been acting strange lately, often staying in her room and talking on the phone with someone. When he asked her who it was, she would not say, keeping it a secret."She's probably taking a nap. I'll go check."Mable went upstairs to Nicki'
Mable could not help but feel that something was off with Blair today. After dinner, he took her for a walk in the garden but did not say anything.Seeing him lost in thought, Mable finally asked, "Blair, is there something you want to talk to me about? You've seemed preoccupied since we left the hospital."Blair held Mable's hand and smiled faintly. "You noticed?""I'm not clueless; of course, I noticed." Mable chuckled. Blair led Mable to a chair in the garden and held her hand. "Mabes, you asked me what I wanted for my birthday last time. I've thought about it."Mable raised an eyebrow. "What do you want?"Blair pulled Mable closer to him. "Mabes, I want you."Mable was momentarily stunned.Blair tightened his embrace and whispered in her ear, "When it comes to what I want most, whether in the past, present, or future, it's always you."Mabes, I want you. I want to spend my life with you, and I want to grow old with you."Suddenly, Blair remembered the scene when he propo
“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
