“Hey, Mable.” Mable immediately probed as soon as Kyle picked up, “Kyle, Blair told me you arrived in Italee. Where are you now?” “I just arrived at Solomon's place.” Kyle was aware that the reason Mable was calling him was to talk about Zoe. He then asked without being prompted, “Are you calling to give me updates about Zoe?” “No updates yet. I just wanted to tell you I’m in Italee as well. I’m going to Rory’s place to meet Zoe tomorrow morning. So, don’t do anything reckless before that.” Kyle was caught off guard by this. “You came to Italee too?” “Yeah, we can work out a time to meet up after I see Zoe tomorrow. Just remember what I told you, and don’t do anything reckless. All that’s going to do is hurt Zoe instead of helping her. Do you understand?” “Okay, you have my word.” Kyle paused for a moment before asking, “Did you come with Blair?” Mable answered, “I came by myself.” Kyle was surprised that Blair would let Mable come to Italee by herself.
Adam was aware that Mable did not come to see Rory but Zoe. Just as he thought, Mable immediately stated, “I came to see Zoe. Is she doing okay?” Adam nodded and assured her, “Don't worry, we’ve given her an antidote and assigned a nutritionist to provide her with customized meals all day. She’s doing fine.” “I want to see her.” Adam seemed troubled by the request and shook his head. “No.” Mable responded by tapping his shoulder and remarking with a wry smile, "Adam, you’re a man. Don’t make a habit out of saying no.” Adam was speechless. Then, Mable swept an icy glare at the bodyguards and suddenly dialed up her aggression. “Move!” The group of bodyguards were taken aback by this. They exchanged looks before turning their attention to Adam. Adam fixed a look on Mable and advised her, “Mable, don’t make things difficult for me, please. You can’t enter unless Rorr allows it.” Mable crossed her arms across her chest and nodded firmly. “Sure, I’ll make this e
Mable initially assumed Rory was aiming a gun at her to get her to release Adam. She was surprised to note that he was aiming it at Adam instead. “What are you doing?” Rory shot a look at Mable. Without even bothering to glance at Adam, he stated, “As I said, I don’t need such a useless subordinate!” He locked eye contact with Mable and declared with a wicked smile, “Let go of him right now, or I’ll finish the job for you!” Without warning or hesitation, he pulled the trigger. Mable felt her heart skip a beat and quickly flung both of them away from the gunshot. Adam took the chance to escape from her hold. “Bang!” The bullet shattered an antique vase right behind them and produced a deafening noise. Mable stared at the vase’s broken fragments and cried out furiously, “Are you insane?” He had gone and fired at Adam! Rory blew on the barrel of the gun and grinned. “How else was I going to get you to let go of him?” “Are you not afraid of accidentally kill
Hunter was astounded. “So it was true!” Mable was at a loss for words by their reaction. Not wanting to waste time on this topic, motioned at the door with a cock of her chin. “I want to see Zoe.” Hunter and Rosemary exchanged a look, then opened the door as instructed. Mable entered and met Zoe sitting on the bed with her knees folded. She was staring out the window with a absent look. The last time Mable saw Zoe was in a video call when she was visiting the church on the island. While it was only a few days, she was significantly frailer than before. “Zoe,” she called out softly to prevent scaring Zoe. Upon hearing their voice, Zoe shuddered involuntarily before turning towards the source of the voice with some agitation. When she realized that it was Mable calling for her, she suddenly perked up. She immediately crawled out of bed and called out, “Mabes!” Mable quickly went to her and hugged her tightly. “I’m here, Zoe. Don’t be scared.” Zoe rested her
Mable was taken aback by this. Kyle was outside? How did she not notice him when she came in? With how tightly guarded the villa was, he must be lurking somewhere in the dark to monitor the situation. “Zoe is fine, don't worry. She’s right next to me. I’ll let you talk to her.” With that, she handed the phone to Zoe. “It's Kyle. He says he’s right outside the villa now.” After Zoe took the phone, she immediately ran to the window and looked around wildly while whimpering into the phone, “Ky…” It was easy to tell that she was on the verge of breaking down in tears. She was so terrified and missed him so much... Kyle felt anguished when he heard Zoe’s voice. “Zoe, it's me. Are you okay? Did Rory hurt you?” Knowing that Zoe was a very timid girl, she must have been frightened when she was kidnapped. He also worried if Rory had done something to her. More than anything, he hated himself for being so incompetent to let his wife be taken away! How pathetic.
Besides, Anthony could not possibly be so stupid not to realize the severe consequences of deceiving Rory. Adam soon informed Rory, “The money has been transferred.” “Bring me my laptop.” Adam nodded dutifully and went to collect the laptop. After that, Rory logged into his account and found the email from Anthony. He opened it and looked at its contents with a serious frown across his face. Adam approached to check out the contents as well. There were several pictures in the file. When compiled together, they provided the details of a specific treatment solution. All of the various medications required, as well as the procedures involved, were listed. After Rory finished going through them, he rubbed his chin and sank deep into thought. “Could it be so simple?” He had assumed it would be very difficult to remedy Zoe's amnesia, but it turned out to be far simpler than expected. After thinking about it for a moment longer, he called Anthony to ask, “Are y
The batch of goods located at the east port was crucial as it was involved in the transaction between Secret and Muller Corporation. They were originally scheduled to be sent to Monafelt two days later. However, now... Rory’s expression shifted instantly the moment he heard about the issue. “What happened?” Adam seemed very anxious, “An hour ago, customs detected contraband in the inventory and seized everything. Another problem is that we lost track of another shipment that was supposed to be due at the port this afternoon.” Rory shot up from the couch at this point. “What do you mean lost track of it? Was the shipment raided by pirates, or was there an accident?” “Well... So far, it seems more likely that it was caused by an accident. I already dispatched my people to investigate, and they should report to me very soon.” "Get a car ready. We’re driving there to see what’s going on.” Rory did not have the time to care about anything else and hurried out of the b
Mable pursed her lips tightly and stared at what was written in the notebook. It seemed that her previous hunch was correct—Rory had lied to her. Lemon had never inherited the Necro Poison, and Rory was only using Mable to get rid of Blair… She had to give credit where it was due. Rory had played an excellent chess move. He knew that Mable would sacrifice Blair for Lemon’s sake. Mable shut the notebook and placed everything back where they belonged before leaving. Shortly after that, she heard a round of commotion outside. She ran to the balcony and found the villa surrounded. Kyle and Solomon were here! “Zoe, let's go!” Without another word, she grabbed Zoe and escorted her out. “Second Boss!” Hunter and Rosemary guarded the door like a pair of totems. “Move!” Rosemary motioned for Mable to stop and seemed to be struggling internally. “Second Boss, Zoe is not allowed to leave this room no matter what!” Mable shielded Zoe behind her and declare
“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
