Soon, Jeremiah’s voice came from the phone. “Hey, Astrid.”Mable stared at the phone and did not respond.After a few seconds of silence, Jeremiah continued, “I know you’re listening, Astrid. I’m just calling to tell you that Dad’s heart disease has relapsed. He’s hospitalized and wants to see you.”Rahman raised his brows and looked at Mable.Did Connor have a heart disease?Mable lowered her gaze slightly but still remained silent.“Astrid, the doctor said that Dad’s condition is very precarious, so...”Before Jeremiah could finish, Mable interrupted his words. “Dad also knows that you hypnotized me, doesn’t he?”Mable stared at the phone, her eyes icy without any warmth. “Jeremiah, why are you guys so against me being with Blair?”After the hypnosis had lifted, Mable not only remembered everything related to Blair but other events as well.When she was acknowledged by the Mullers, Connor’s expression changed drastically when he learned of her relationship with Blair. He ev
Outside the villa, Jeremiah’s back instantly stiffened when he heard Mable’s words over the phone.She was cutting ties with the Muller family!“Astrid, you can’t—”“Beep, beep…”Before he could finish, a beeping sound came from the phone.She hung up.Jeremiah immediately called back, but Mable never answered.He looked toward the villa, feeling a cocktail of emotions in his chest. He could not seem to describe his feelings.He never expected things to come to this point.Feeling somewhat defeated, Jeremiah drove back home without seeing Mable.He had just gotten out of the car when a servant greeted him. “Sir, Master Connor has returned and has been waiting for you in the living room for a long time.”“Okay.”Jeremiah briskly walked into the house and saw his father sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading the morning newspaper.“Dad.”Connor raised his eyelids to look at him and nodded slightly.Seeing that Jeremiah came back alone, he asked, “Why are you alone
Not long after, Amos hurriedly came out from inside.“Madam, you’re here.”He stood by the car and bent down slightly to look at Mable inside.Mable looked at him, her expression somewhat dazed. “Amos, how long have you been with Blair?”Blair did not understand why she was asking this, but he still replied respectfully, “This is the ninth year.”Mable said, “Then you must know him very well.”Amos remained silent.Mable looked in the direction of the funeral parlor and asked softly, “Amos, is Blair really dead?”“Madam, Master Blair suffered many injuries over the years...“Since you’ve recovered your memory, you should remember when you were poisoned and on the verge of death. Master Blair’s affair with Lesley was a play he set up by himself. He deliberately wanted to make you think he didn’t love you anymore so you would give up on him. Master Blair knew that the male base in his body could save you and already made preparations to sacrifice himself. Unexpectedly, you disap
At night, Amos sent Spike and Nicki back to Royal View Villa.Upon hearing that his mom was back, Spike immediately ran upstairs as soon as he entered the house.Mable was coaxing Lemon to sleep in the bedroom. When she saw Spike enter, she silently made a shushing gesture.“Mommy.”Spike walked to his mother and tugged her hand, his large eyes red from crying countless times.Mable stroked his head gently and asked softly, “Have you had dinner?”Spike nodded quietly.After Lemon fell asleep, Mable tucked her in and led Spike out of the room.Spike looked up to stare at his mother. “Mommy, why didn’t you go see Daddy?”Mable bent down to look at her son with a faint smile on her lips. “Your daddy won’t leave us. I’m waiting for him to come home.”The expression on Spike’s face froze. He held her hand tightly, trying to comfort her. “Mommy... don’t be like this...”Mable hugged him and stroked his head gently. “Don’t worry. Mommy is okay.”After comforting him, she went back
There was also a photo of them on his birthday.Blair wrote behind the photo: [My birthday wish is to be with you and for you to be with me.]Mable looked at the photos in the album, her slender fingers tracing over the words behind the photos, silently grieving.[Only you.][Life is long. I just want to hold your hand from dusk to dawn until our hair turns white from age.][Mabes, your straightforward favoritism is my redemption.]‘Blair, you don’t know you’re actually my redemption.’...Each of those words seemed to be branded on her heart, causing her heart to ache.Plop!Hot tears dripped onto the photos, smudging the words on them.Why did fate treat them like this?They clearly loved each other so deeply. Why did they have to go through so much hardship?Mable hugged the album tightly to her chest, trembling with her sobs.“Blair... Where are you? It hurts so much. Why aren’t you here to comfort me? I wish you could hold me, Blair...”Mable cried bitterly. However
In the end, Mable attended Blair’s funeral.She stood at the forefront with Spike and Nicki on either side of her. Lemon did not come and was being looked after at home by Grace.Before Blair’s body was cremated, the family needed to sign the paperwork and confirm the body one last time.“Madam...”Amos looked at Mable and hesitated.Mable stood in front of the hall, unable to step forward.In the end, Solomon sighed and said, “I’ll go.”Under the section for the family’s signature, it was ultimately Solomon who signed.The staff at the funeral home came forward and began pushing the body into the furnace...Mable watched as Blair drifted further and further away from her.“Blair...” She suddenly covered her mouth and broke down in tears.‘Liar! Didn’t you say you’d always be with me and never leave me? You liar! How could you leave me alone like this?’“Blair!”Mable could not hold back anymore and tried to run forward to hold onto the man she loved the most.“Mable!”R
Tracey’s expression was grim and full of worry. “Are we really going to keep this from Mabes?”Amos’ face was serious. “Master Blair specifically instructed that Madam must not be told under any circumstances.”Tracey covered her face and cried softly. “But this is too cruel to Mabes.”Kyle sighed. “Blair is still in a critical condition. No one knows what will happen next.”If the situation did not look optimistic, it would be another blow to Mable.The cruelest thing in this world was to give someone hope and then plunge them into endless despair.Tracey looked at them and sobbed. “Dr. Hammond’s medical skills are excellent. There shouldn’t be any problem, right?”...No one spoke.No one gave her a definite answer.Not only was Blair seriously injured, but he also wanted to remove the Necro Poison...It was not an ordinary risk....Meanwhile, on the second floor.Nicki paced anxiously outside Spike’s room before finally making up her mind and knocking on the door.“H
It was already very late when Mable returned to Royal View Villa.Grace coaxed Lemon to sleep, but Nicki and Spike were still awake and waited for her in the living room.Seeing his mom return, Spike immediately ran up to her.“Mommy, you’re finally back.”Mable weakly raised her hand to pat Spike’s head. “Why are you still up?”Spike pursed his lips and led her to the dining room. “Eat something, Mommy.”He had heard from Aunt Grace that Mable had not eaten anything these past two days. She even had to get an IV drip before going out in the morning.Mable was led to the dining table and subconsciously glanced at the seat where Blair used to sit.“Here.” Spike handed her a bowl of food.Nicki watched from the side and hurriedly picked up a spoon, handing it to Mable. “Auntie Mabes, your body will get sick if you don’t eat.”“Yeah, eat a little, Mable,” Rahman also urged.On the way back, he had wanted to take her out for dinner. However, she did not want to go and said she h
