Blair kissed Mable’s lips. “Let me pack up, and we’ll go home together.”“Okay.”Nicki and Spike would be finishing school around this time, so Mable and Blair went to pick them up on their way home.Along the way, Mable thought about asking Blair what Eugenie wanted to discuss with him, but every time she was about to ask, she swallowed her words.Would she seem petty if she kept asking?Just as she was thinking, Blair held her hand. “Mabes, why aren’t you asking me what Eugenie and I talked about in the office?”Mable looked at him. “She said she wanted to talk to you alone, which means it’s something I’m not supposed to know. Why should I ask?”Blair felt slightly disappointed at her words.“I thought that you’d get jealous.”Mable was silent.Blair held her hand. “Eugenie made a deal with me. I’ll tell you what it’s about when the time is right. In any case, don’t overthink it. There’s nothing between me and her.”Mable turned her gaze out the window. “I’m not overthinki
Wilbur finished packing up and said, “As for her old injury, it’s similar to what I speculated before. I already have an idea. I’ll begin treating her after she gives birth.”Kyle nodded. “Thank you.”Mable escorted Wilbur out of the hospital.As they walked out, Wilbur said to her, “I’ve done what you asked me to do. Don’t forget what you promised me.”“I won’t forget.”Mable smiled and said easily, “You can contact me anytime you need help.”Wilbur said, “Send the photos you just took to Rory. I’ll contact him later.”“Okay.”Mable took out her phone and sent the pictures to Rory.Wilbur looked at her and suddenly said, “Have you ever thought about what to do if Rory doesn’t believe what I said?”“He won’t.”Mable said firmly, “If Rory doesn’t believe you, he wouldn’t have asked you to come to Richworth to treat Zoe.”Rory was very self-confident. If he asked Wilbur for help, it meant he had absolute trust in him.Wilbur stared into Mable’s eyes and said with a vague smi
“Mable.”Hearing someone call her name, Mable turned around and saw a somewhat familiar man approaching.“You’re...”The man frowned. “What’s wrong with your memory? Did you forget me again?”Mable thought for a moment and finally remembered where she had seen him before. “You’re Howard Morse, right?”Howard laughed. “I thought you’d forgotten me again.”He looked around but did not see Blair. “What a coincidence. Are you shopping alone? Didn’t Blair accompany you?”“He’s at the office. I’m just wandering around by myself and don’t need company.”Howard looked at her. “I’m also alone now. Let’s have a meal together.”Mable hesitated. She remembered that Blair said Howard used to pursue her.If Blair were to find out that she had a meal with Howard, he would probably be jealous.Seeing her hesitation, Howard laughed and said, “The last time we met was a bit rushed, and Blair was also with you, so there were some things I couldn’t say. This is a good chance, so let’s chat.”M
“I don’t know how deep your feelings for Blair were, but I heard people say that he caused your grandfather’s death. At your grandfather’s funeral, you stabbed him in the chest with a scalpel and almost killed him.”Howard paused for a moment, then continued, “I know Blair’s skills. If he wanted to dodge, he definitely wouldn’t have let you stab him, but he deliberately didn’t dodge and placed his life in your hands.”Mable stared at Howard in shock, unable to believe it.It was no wonder...She saw the scar on his chest and even asked how he got it...At that time, he simply hugged her and said nothing.She thought that he did not want to tell her, so she did not ask again.It turned out that she was the one who stabbed him.Howard looked at her dazed expression and did not know what she was thinking, but he continued, “There’s also something I don’t know if you’ve heard about.”Mable asked, “What is it?”“Do you know how the Fowler family fell?”“The Fowler family?”Mable
Mable served food for Blair and said, “Nothing much. Howard was just telling me about the past.”Blair looked at Howard again.Howard raised his cup and clinked it with Blair’s. “Don’t worry, Mr. Fowler. I didn’t say anything I shouldn’t.”Blair silently picked up his teacup and took a sip.As the three ate, Howard thought of something and asked, “By the way, I heard from some friends that you’re interested in that international project in Italee?”Blair’s eyes flickered, and he said indifferently, “There’s no reason not to be interested in a profitable project.”Howard frowned slightly. “But no matter how you look at that project, the risks outweigh the profits.”Blair did not respond.Mable did not know what project they were talking about, nor did she care, so she continued eating.Seeing that Blair seemed reluctant to talk about work, Howard did not mention it again.The three finished eating and left the mall together.Howard and Blair’s drivers brought their cars to th
The voice on the phone made Mable pale instantly.“Spike, what’s wrong? Spike!”Seeing something wrong, Blair grabbed the phone and put it on speaker.“Spike!”Soon, Spike’s voice came from the phone again.“Mommy! Daddy!”“Blair, Mable, your precious son is in my hands.”That sentence made Mable so panicked she almost cried. “Who are you and what do you want? Don’t hurt my son!”Mable could not tell who the voice was, but Blair could.“Olivia!”It was her!He could not be mistaken. That voice was hers!She was still alive!Olivia’s maniacal laughter came through the phone. “Hahaha... Master Blair, you still remember me. I’m surprised.”The sounds of struggling came through the phone. “You evil woman! Let me go! My mommy and daddy won’t let you get away with this...”“Shut up, you little brat!”The woman’s shrill voice sounded.Then, there was the sound of a slap.“Spike!”Mable grabbed the phone with trembling fingers. “No! Don’t hurt my son!”The veins on Blair’s
Olivia took out a sharp knife from her bag and threw it at Mable’s feet. “Choose among yourselves. If one of you dies, I’ll let your poor son go!”Mable picked up the knife without hesitation.“Mable!”Blair grabbed her hand. “What are you doing?!”Mable had never felt so panicked. Her eyes were filled with tears. “Blair, I... I can’t just watch Spike get hurt.”Blair glared at Olivia, his eyes filled with killing intent. “Even if both Mable and I die today, you won’t walk out of here alive!”“Did you think I’d be scared, Master Blair? I’ve never thought of walking out alive today! I don’t have much time left anyway, so it’ll be worth dragging you to the grave with me!”Blair’s heart thumped. He did not expect that to be Olivia’s intention.Olivia pressed her knife to Spike’s neck. “I’ll give you a minute to think. Who’s going to die first?”As soon as she spoke, Blair suddenly snatched the knife from Mable’s hands.“What are you doing?!” Mable looked at him anxiously.Blair
“Master Blair.”Amos entered the ward and said, “We’ve checked Oakshire Estate but didn’t find any of Olivia’s accomplices.”Blair frowned. “No accomplices?”Did Olivia orchestrate this kidnapping alone?Spike looked at his parents and suddenly asked, “Mommy, Daddy, did you see Nicki?”“Nicki?”Blair and Mable exchanged a look. Did Olivia kidnap Nicki too?Blair asked Spike, “Was Nicki kidnapped by Olivia as well?”Spike nodded.Amos said, “We didn’t find Ms. Nicki in the estate.”“Keep searching!”Blair’s expression was cold. “Ask Olivia. Find Nicki whatever it takes!”“Yes, Master Blair.”After Amos left, Blair looked at Spike and asked, “Spike, tell Daddy how Olivia kidnapped you two.”Spike and Nicki should have been at school during this time, and the school was well-guarded. It would not be easy for Olivia to kidnap them.Furthermore, he arranged for bodyguards to secretly protect them...It was almost impossible for Olivia alone to abduct them.Spike looked at h
