With permission granted, Blair and Tracey entered the emergency room. Mable was asleep on the hospital bed, though her complexion did not look good."Mabes," Blair said, holding Mable's hand against his face. He had a concerned expression.Tracey also felt for Mable but reassured Blair, "Don't worry. The doctor said Mabes is fine. She will wake up soon."Blair nodded without a word. They watched the nurses transfer Mable to a hospital room.Blair stayed by Mable's side, and by late afternoon, Mable finally woke up. When she opened her eyes, the first person she saw was Blair.He sat by the bedside, his eyes filled with joy as he gazed at her. "Mabes, you're awake.""Blair," Mable tried to speak, but her voice sounded hoarse."Mabes." Blair bent down and hugged her tightly, his voice trembling. "I'm so glad you're awake. I'm sorry."Mable paused momentarily and then hugged him back, a hint of a smile in her voice. "Why apologize for something you had no control over? My fainti
Upon hearing the doctor's inquiry, Mable's eyes flickered, and her hand, hidden beneath the blanket, clenched into a fist.Worried by Mable's silence, Blair asked, "Mabes, what's wrong?"Mable shook her head. "It's nothing. I was just thinking. I suddenly had a headache without any apparent trigger."Mable lied because she did not want Blair to know she had secretly read his will."Have you experienced this before?" The doctor inquired.Mable shook her head again. "No.""You did once," Blair reminded her. "You had a brief headache in the car a few days ago. Maybe it just wasn't as severe as this time."With his reminder, Mable recalled, "You're right; there was such an instance. However, this time, the headache lasted longer and was more intense."The doctor asked, "Mrs. Fowler, have you had any head injuries before?"Before Mable could respond, Blair answered, "She fell from a cliff a few years ago, injuring her head and suffering from amnesia for two years. She has since rec
This morning, Mable was still thinking about taking Lemon to see Wilbur in the afternoon but then got delayed again because of her sudden fainting.No matter what, she would take Lemon to see Wilbur tomorrow.Mable hardly slept a wink that night.Whenever she closed her eyes, she saw Blair's expression when he made the will.At that time, she should not have had much time to live. So why did he leave all his assets to her in the will?From the way he spoke, it seemed like he was the one with little time left to live.The more Mable thought about it, the more doubts filled her heart.She looked at the man lying beside her. For the first time, she felt that perhaps she had done something wrong.…Due to Mable's sudden fainting episode, Blair did not go to the company the next day. Instead, he stayed at home to accompany her.Mable was thinking of finding an excuse to take Lemon out in the morning when she suddenly received a call from Wilbur.On the phone, Wilbur spoke with gr
At Bay Island.Upon arriving there, Zoe still felt a bit uneasy. She had not slept well last night. However, the environment on Bay Island completely resonated with her young heart. There was sunshine, sandy beaches, clear blue seas, and coconut trees. They lived in a villa nestled against a lush hill, with a backyard filled with flowers that Zoe loved.After breakfast, Zoe could not wait for a walk by the seaside. She had wanted to go last night, but Kyle had mentioned that the sea breeze could be vital at night and did not let her go."Put your hat on," Kyle said as he grabbed Zoe and placed the hat on her head.Zoe did not want to wear it and pouted. "But there's no wind outside.""The winds by the seaside come and go in gusts, and it's also quite sunny at this hour. Wearing a hat can protect you from the sun," Kyle advised.Kyle lovingly pinched Zoe's cheek. "Now that you’re carrying our child, you must be more careful. You can't be as careless as before."Zoe covered he
In Richworth, Mable and Blair took Lemon to the hospital for a check-up. While most of the test results would only be available the next day, the blood test report came in the afternoon.Mable carefully examined Lemon's blood test results and was filled with disbelief. Every single indicator in her blood was surprisingly normal. It had only been three short months since her last check-up in Italee. How could there have been such a significant change?After reading Lemon's blood test report, Mable immediately called Wilbur and informed him about it. Wilbur's tone conveyed amusement. "You didn't believe my words, but you should trust your daughter's blood test results, right?"Mable replied, "No, Mr. Hammond, it's not that I didn't believe you. It's just that, back in Italee, when Little Lemon suddenly had a high fever, I took her to the hospital for tests, and they couldn't find any problems. Then, Rory drew her blood for examination and told me that Little Lemon had inherited
Blair never had high expectations for his birthday. However, this year, he looked forward to it because Mable had promised to give him a birthday present he wanted. He had already told her what he wanted.Mable contemplated momentarily and said, "Blair, how about we take the children to Mair Manor tomorrow to celebrate your birthday? What do you think?"Blair hugged Mable's shoulder and gently pecked her lips. "It's up to you. I'll go with whatever you decide.""Then it's settled."Mable looked at Blair. Since she had returned to the country with him, today was the happiest day she had experienced in a long time.Lemon did not inherit the Necro Poison, which meant Blair did not have to die, and Mable did not have to make a choice.Mable took a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief wash over her.Back home, Blair carried Lemon out of the car. As Mable followed him inside, her phone rang.She picked it up and saw that it was Jeremiah's call.Mable answered, "Hi, Jeremiah."B
After a while, Mable heard him speak, "So, when are you planning to return to Italee?"Mable thought for a moment. "I still have some unfinished business. Can you give me a little more time?"Jeremiah fell silent once again. After a while, he reminded Mable slowly and deliberately, "Astrid, I don't want to pressure you. However, I hope you remember that Blair is not your lover; he's your enemy."As Mable listened to his words, she suddenly felt a throbbing in her temple. "Alright, I understand. I have something to attend to, so I'll hang up now. Goodbye."She hung up the phone without waiting for Jeremiah to say anything else.She sat on the couch, supporting her head with her hands and pressing her temple with her fingertips to relieve the sudden headache."Mabes, what's wrong?" Blair nervously descended the stairs."I'm fine."Mable raised her head, revealing a faint, warm smile. "I suddenly felt a bit of a headache in my temple.""Is it serious? Should I call the family d
After finishing the call with Zoe, Blair remembered that Mabes had called Jeremiah earlier. He casually asked, "Why did your brother call you just now?"Mabes replied, "It was nothing much. He just asked how I and the kids are doing."Blair looked at Mabes with a half-smile. "Oh? Is Jeremiah worried I might bully you?"He recalled the information Solomon had uncovered about the Muller family, and his eyes darkened slightly.On the surface, he could indeed see Jeremiah’s care towards Mable, but this kind of "care" was full of intentions.He was even willing to hurt Mabes for this "purpose".Mable stared into Blair's eyes and asked, "Would you bully me?"Blair sighed and caressed her long hair. "Mabes, don't you know how I feel about you?"Mabes knew that Blair had been exceptionally kind to her, almost too accommodating. She understood that very well.However, these days, whenever Blair was exceptionally good to her, images of when he had hurt her in the past would flash throug
“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
