Over the years, they had missed out on a lot and wasted considerable time. It was as if fate had been kind, giving one chance after another to bring her back to him. Blair cherished this rare opportunity immensely. So, no matter what Mable said, he would not agree to her going to find Rory.Mable was tightly held in Blair's embrace, and as she listened to his somber tone, she felt a twinge in her heart, a slight ache. She gently patted Blair's back and said, "Blair, Spike and Lemon are here; where else can I go? Don't worry, I want to meet Rory, I won't disappear."Blair furrowed his brows. "Mabes, I believe in you, but I don't trust Rory. What if he uses other means to detain you?"This was something he had done in the past."In any case, you don't have to worry about this. I will figure out how to get the formula for the poison," Blair said.“But…”Mable wanted to say more but was interrupted by Blair. "No 'buts'!"Blair looked at Mable unusually seriously, not giving her ro
Seeing Mable lost in thought, Spike gently shook his mother's arm. "Mommy, what's wrong?""Nothing."Mable snapped out of her reverie, tucked Spike in with the blanket, and said, "It's getting late; time to sleep."Looking at Spike, Mable hesitated momentarily and added, "Spike, no matter what happens in the future, Mommy won't forget you and Daddy."Spike nodded and hesitated, "But…""But what?"Spike looked at his mother, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "But what if someone hypnotizes you and makes you forget us? That's not something you can control."Mable was taken aback. "Hypnotize?"Spike nodded firmly. "Once, while I was studying, I overheard Daddy and Uncle Solomon talking. They said the reason you had amnesia was that you were hypnotized. Daddy even consulted some top hypnotists, but they couldn't help you recover your memories."Mable listened to Spike's words with wide eyes, finding it hard to believe.She had amnesia because someone had hypnotized her?
In the study.Blair was on a video call with Kyle. The tracker showed that Zoe was currently in Italee, which meant that Rory had not taken her back to the Linders Castle."I'm heading to Italee right away," Kyle said.Blair nodded as he looked at Kyle through the video call. "Solomon is in Italee right now as well. I'll call him and ask him to check the situation about Rory.""Alright."Despite Kyle's calm appearance, Blair could sense his underlying emotions. Kyle, who was usually composed and cool-headed, was now not just worried but also anxious.Blair sighed. "Don't worry, Zoe won't be in immediate danger. If Rory had malicious intentions, he wouldn't have gone through all this trouble to take her away."Kyle furrowed his brow and nodded with a sense of guilt in his tone. “If it were the old Zoe, I wouldn’t worry because she could fend for herself. But now, she doesn’t remember Rory at all; he’s like a stranger to her. She will feel insecure when I’m not there for her.”
Blair noticed she did not want to sleep, so he sat up and leaned against the headboard, pulling Mable into his arms. "Alright, what do you want to talk about?"Mable gazed up at Blair, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "I heard from Tracey that in the beginning, I pursued you, but you didn't like me. Then, after I regained my memory and divorced you, you eagerly tried to get close to me and remarry me. Why?"Blair reminisced about their journey from acquaintances to lovers and adversaries. It felt like these events had happened just yesterday. In the blink of an eye, they had known each other for many years. However, during these years, they had missed out on so much.Blair held Mable's hand, gently massaging her fingers, and said tenderly, "Because I was blind before, I didn't see your worth. I realized the best had always been by my side only after losing you. I was foolish not to cherish it."Mable was a precious gem to Blair, and he was prepared to protect this happiness with
Italee.Rory had just sat down in the restaurant when his phone started ringing. Without checking the caller ID, he knew it was a call from Mable. He decided not to answer; he was annoyed and did not want to talk to her now. However, Mable was persistent, calling again and again.After the phone rang for a while, Adam, sitting nearby, could not take it anymore. He looked at Rory, who was elegantly cutting his steak, and suggested. "Why don't you answer it, or better yet, just turn off your phone? That ringtone is annoying."Rory glanced at him and raised his chin, signaling Adam to shut off the phone. Adam put down his utensils, intending to turn off the phone, but accidentally pressed the answer button.The call connected.Adam looked at Rory, ready to hand him the phone.Rory looked disdainfully at Adam and continued eating his steak, ignoring the call.Adam, feeling helpless, answered the call himself, "Mable, it's me.""He's busy."Adam glanced at Rory and said to
Adam nodded, then suddenly had a thought and asked, "So, are you planning to—"Before Adam could finish his sentence, a servant guarding Zoe upstairs rushed and said, "Sir, Miss Zoe has woken up."Rory put down his cutlery and elegantly wiped his mouth with a napkin. He said, "Well, let's go see her."Upstairs, in the bedroom, Zoe woke up and found herself in an unfamiliar place. She did not recognize any of the people around her. She immediately became anxious and asked where Kyle was, but they would not tell her, making her more frantic."Where am I? Who are you people? Where's Ky?"Zoe tried to recall what had happened earlier. She remembered feeling a sudden, intense pain all over her body on Bay Island. Kyle had called a doctor, but the doctor had said she was fine.After that, she seemed to have passed out from the pain, and she could not remember anything that had happened afterward.Zoe reached for her phone to call Kyle, but she realized her phone was not with her."Wh
Zoe opened the album Adam handed her and looked at the photos inside. She could not believe what she saw."This girl looks just like me," she said in disbelief, pointing to a photo of a girl in the album.Adam walked over to Zoe and pointed at her, saying, "Zoe, it's not just a resemblance; it's you!""Me?" Zoe still could not believe it. She flipped through several pages, and every photo had her in it. There were solo shots, pictures of her with Adam, and several group photos, although she did not recognize anyone except Mable."Are all these me?" Zoe asked in half disbelief."Yes, they're all you." Adam confirmed."But why has Ky never told me about this?" Zoe wondered aloud.Before finishing her sentence, Rory interrupted sternly. "Zoe, Kyle is our enemy!"He deceived you while you had amnesia, keeping you close to him only for revenge.""You're lying!" Zoe glared at Rory and vehemently protested. "Ky is not like that. He has always been good to me."Rory sneered. "He's
Zoe returned to her bedroom in a daze and sat in the corner, hugging her knees, tears streaming down her face. "Ky, where are you? Please come and save me."Rory went to his study and made a phone call to Anthony. The call connected quickly. "Do you have the prescription for treating Zoe's amnesia?"Immediately, Rory heard a sinister chuckle from the other end of the line. "Rory, let's be clear, we had an agreement. You haven't forgotten, have you?"Rory replied, "Money is not a problem, but you must guarantee that the prescription you give me is absolutely effective."Anthony added, "Wilbur doesn't trust me, and his prescription is not something I can easily obtain. Give me a little more time, and I will notify you as soon as I have it.""Three days. I must receive the prescription within three days, or the deal is off."Rory knew that Kyle and the others were probably planning how to rescue Zoe. He needed to make sure Zoe regained her memory before their operation."I'll do my
