Kyle looked at Eugenie. When she finished speaking, he asked, “If it can’t be separated, does that mean that the Necro Poison in Mable’s body can’t be treated as well?”Eugenie nodded. “That’s correct.”Solomon sighed. “Is Master Blair okay?”Eugenie said, “Oh, his condition is currently stable, but... we don’t know when he’ll wake up. Wilbur will send him back to his room shortly.”Just as she spoke, Amos’ phone rang.He answered the phone. “Hello, Mr. Curtis... Yes, okay. I’ll see you later.”He hung up the phone and looked at Tracey and Kyle. “Master Blair’s lawyer is coming to announce the will shortly. I need to go back to Royal View Villa.”Tracey said, “I’ll go with you. I want to see Mabes.”Solomon nodded. “Go on. I’ll stay at the hospital.”“Call me if anything happens.” Tracey reminded him before leaving....At Royal View Villa.Tracey and Amos had just arrived when Kade came.Mable had been in her room all morning and had not gone out.After hearing from Rahm
The sudden development astounded everyone present. Rahman was the one to react first. He immediately held Mable and had someone call the doctor. Then, several of them helped Mable back to the room, and the doctor showed up shortly. After performing some examination, the doctor concluded that the reason Mable had passed out was due to lack of nutrition from hardly eating anything the last few days. Combined with her poor mental state lately, her body had finally given out. “Are there any other causes apart from that?” Rahman asked the doctor. He had an impression that whatever was going on with Mable was far more severe than they could determine. There was also the Necro Poison inside her veins to consider. The doctor set aside the stethoscope before answering astutely, “I haven’t been able to detect any other condition. However, you have to get her to eat something because sustaining her on nutrient solution is not going to work in the long term. Her body is not goin
“How could... How could it be?” Tracey's eyes widened in shock. She had seen the effects of Necro Poison on Mable in the past. It was enough to make someone as resilient as Mable become overwhelmed with pain to the point of trembling and shouting. She knew how vicious the effect of Necro Poison was. Mable did not appear as if she was suffering from Necro Poison just now when she was heading downstairs. She must have passed out from the pain. “She’s very resilient,” Rahman stated while dragging a deep sigh. He blamed himself for not noticing it earlier. Eugenie stated, “Necro Poison’s effects have no noticeable symptoms other than a sharp pain experienced by the person. Most doctors would not be able to notice it.” The symptoms of Necro Poison attacks were very similar to a typical stress cardiomyopathy. Most of the time, it would be triggered when a person underwent extreme stress due to major events in life, which caused the body to secrete extra catecholamines.
When Mable woke up again, it was already nighttime. Spike was lying beside the bed with his tiny hands wrapped around hers. The edges of his eyes were puffy and swollen from crying. “Mommy!” The moment he noticed Mable coming to, he launched himself toward her. “You finally woke up…” Mable felt a warm and fuzzy feeling inside her when she saw her son and hastily apologized, “I’m sorry for making you worry.” Spike hugged her tightly and expressed in a choked-up voice, “Mommy, Daddy is gone. Please don’t let us lose you too. You have to be strong.” Mable felt an urge to cry. She should be the one comforting her child at a time like this, but somehow, it was the other way around. She had a sense that she had neglected her duty as a mother. All she cared about was her anguish over her loss, and in doing so, she had neglected to care for her child. She hugged Spike tightly, swarmed with guilt. “I’m sorry, Spike. I'm so sorry, it's all Mommy's fault. Mommy promises
After booting up the laptop, Mable inserted the pen drive into the computer and played the video inside. Immediately after that, Blair appeared on the display. He was sitting on the couch inside the study, wearing a light-colored shirt and staring tenderly at the camera lens. He called out, “Mabes.” His familiar voice immediately stirred Mable’s emotions. She had tried so hard to still her emotions but just hearing his voice alone made her restless again. She stared at Blair’s figure in the video, and tears began to fall against her will. Immediately, she heard his voice again, “Don’t cry. “I know you’re not a girl who cries easily, but… I think you’re going to feel at least just a little sad when I’m dead.” It was as if Blair knew how she would feel the moment she saw the video. He knew she would break down and cry. Blair continued, “Mabes, if you’re seeing this video, it means I am no longer alive. I'm sorry for hurting you again. I know I promised you tha
Mable had never related to the sentiment that one could not live without another person. However, she had never related more strongly with that thought than at that moment, feeling as if she was going to fall apart. She could not fathom the thought that the man she loved so much was no longer with her. Blair would never hug her or kiss her again. He would never blow-dry her hair for her in the gentle way he always did. She would never hear him tenderly calling out Mabes again… He was dead. Completely gone, with no way of returning. “Mabes, don't cry. My brother…” Tracey was on the verge of tears as well and tried to offer some comfort. The words rose to her lips a few times, but she would swallow them back down again. She could not say it. Solomon and Kyle specifically instructed her to not disclose her brother’s present condition to Mabes. Even they were unsure whether Blair would ever wake up again. “Mabes.” All Tracey could do was embrace Mable tightly a
At Royal View Villa. Jeremiah stood by the entrance of the villa and faced off against the bodyguards of the Fowlers. Apart from his assistant, nobody else came with him. He boldly confronted the staunch bodyguards and sounded completely unfazed as he said, “I’m here to see my sister.” “Mabes isn't here!” Tracey answered sharply while avoiding Jeremiah's gaze. She had been hypnotized once by Jeremiah back in Italee and was aware of how potent his hypnosis can be. Knowing that, she specifically took precautions and instructed the bodyguards to wear sunglasses and avoid staring into his eyes. “Is that so?” Jeremiah nodded perfunctorily and did not seem bothered. With that, he probed again, “What about Spike and Lemon? Are they here?” As soon as he brought up the two children, Tracey grew even more upset. “Jeremiah, don't even think about it. You’re not going to see Spike and Lemon.” Imagine how disastrous it would be if he managed to hypnotize the two children.
Tracey sneered sarcastically, “Heh, your Mr. Muller would plot against his sister. What makes you think he wouldn’t do it to his nephew?” Jeremiah’s assistant did not respond. Meanwhile, inside the car. Jeremiah addressed Spike with concern in his eyes, “How have you been holding up lately?” Spike looked up at him with a cool look in his eyes before stating, “I just lost my father. How well did you think I could possibly be doing?” Jeremiah felt himself stiffening up. Spike's words pierced into his heart like a sharp needle. Then, Jeremiah prompted, “What did you want to speak to me about?” Spike gave him a look and got straight to the point, “I just wanted to know why you had to break up Mommy and Daddy, even going as far as to kill Daddy.” “Spike, your father was not a good person. He doesn't love your mommy, and their marriage was a mistake…” At this note, Spike became emotional and curtly cut Jeremiah off, “Whether it's a mistake or not is not up to yo
