In Richworth, Tracey went to the hospital to see Blair at night.When she entered the ward, she saw Blair sitting up on the bed, reading company documents in his hand.“Blair, can you stop working for one second?”Tracey stormed up to the bed, snatched the documents from his hands, and placed them on the side.“Your job now is to rest well and take care of your body. Kyle and I will handle the company affairs, so you don’t have to worry. Even if you don’t trust me, you should trust Kyle.”Blair looked at her. Knowing she was concerned about him, he explained, “I was just taking a look out of boredom.”Tracey poured him a glass of water. “That’s forbidden, too. Resting your mind is also important.”Worried that he would not listen to her, she continued, “I’m supervising you on Mabes’ behalf. She would definitely be angry if she knew you weren’t resting properly.”At those words, Blair instantly fell silent.Tracey knew that he would listen obediently as long as she mentioned Ma
Solomon quickly said, “Yeah! I’m here! Calm down, Master Blair. Mable is fine for now. Don’t worry. I’ll save her even at the cost of my own life. Nothing will happen to her.”Even with that reassurance, Blair could not calm down and hurriedly asked, “What happened with Rory?”Solomon explained the situation to him.Blair immediately said, “Agree to all of Rory’s demands as long as he lets Mable go. I just want her safe. Do you hear me?”“Yes, Master Blair. Calm down...”Before Solomon could finish, Amos noticed that Rory’s route seemed off.“They seem to be heading to the airport... Is Rory planning to take Madam away?”On the other end of the phone, Blair heard Amos’ words and immediately felt a surge of anger.“Solomon, Amos, I don’t care what you have to do, but stop them at all costs! Save Mable!”Solomon said, “Got it, Master Blair.”In Richworth, Blair hung up the phone and immediately called Kyle, telling him to arrange a private jet. He needed to rush to Fasier.Eve
“I wouldn’t still be able to laugh if I were you.”Rory patted Mable’s face. “But don’t worry, I won’t let you die. I don’t want to send you off to reunite with Blair.”“Rorr.” Adam could not bear to see Mable in such pain.Rory glanced at Adam and let her go, then asked the driver, “How much longer to the airport?”The driver replied, “We’re almost there.”Mable leaned back in the seat, struggling to breathe. Her complexion was getting worse.No, she could not go on like this.She had to find a way to save herself...Soon, they arrived at the airport.The driver followed Rory’s instructions and drove directly onto the airport runway.Rory’s private jet was already waiting.After the car stopped, Rory got out of the car and reached out to carry Mable. “Let’s go back to the castle.”Mable stared at him coldly. “I won’t go... with you...”Rory frowned and lifted her chin. “You won’t go with me? Unless you don’t want the antidote...”Before he could finish speaking, he sudde
The other bodyguard picked it up and handed it to Mable.Mable took the bead and squeezed it hard, causing it to break open.The bead was hollow and contained a small black pill inside.Mable took the pill. When she raised her head again, Rory and Adam had already boarded the plane, disappearing from sight.She looked at the small pill in her hand and swallowed it.“Madam...” The bodyguard was startled, worried that it might be poisoned. After all, it was given by Rory.Mable explained, “It’s the antidote.”Although the Necro Poison could neutralize other poisons, it still took time. During that process, there might be some damage to the body. Having an antidote to directly neutralize the poison was the best option.At that moment, several cars rushed over from a distance and finally stopped steadily beside Mable.“Mable!”“Madam!”Solomon and Amos rushed out of the car.Amos anxiously looked Mable over. “Madam, are you okay?”“I’m fine now.”Mable wiped the blood from he
Mable slept in a daze, unsure if she was dreaming when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.One she had been longing for during this time...Mable opened her eyes groggily, her voice hoarse. “Blair...”‘Is it you? I heard your voice... Am I dreaming of you again?’Solomon never expected Mable to wake up at that moment. He was still holding his phone with the camera pointed at her.“Solomon?”Mable narrowed her eyes at Solomon standing by the bed, momentarily dazed. “What are you doing?”“N-Nothing. I...”At that moment, Tracey’s voice sounded from his phone. “Mabes, you’re awake.”Solomon looked at his screen. The person in the video had become Tracey.Blair was nowhere to be seen.Mable frowned slightly. “Tracey?”Solomon reacted quickly this time and explained, “Yes, it’s Tracey. She was worried about you, so she video-called me to see how you were doing.”With that, Solomon turned on the front camera and passed the phone to Mable.Tracey looked at Mable, her face full
March stated, “Yes, Master Blair has always been very fair and dishes out punishments and rewards whenever necessary.” However, in all the years they have been working for Blair, they rarely, if ever, made any mistakes and were scarcely punished. Mable nodded thoughtfully before asking, “What kind of punishment does he usually hand out?” “Generally…” March recalled for a moment before replying, “He will either whip us or assign us to Santaviz.” A few years ago, one of the members of Nighthawk made a mistake and was then given an assignment in Santaviz. It was only until last year when he was finally recalled back. Upon stating this and noticing Mable’s subsequent silence, Marched assumed Mable was troubled over how to punish her appropriately. With that, she stated, “Madam, you can punish me however you like. All I ask is that you don’t send me packing to Santaviz. Master Blair had given strict orders that I am to stay by your side and protect you no matter what.”
Joseph would be hosting a grand party in two days to celebrate his seventieth birthday. Since he had taken the trouble to deliver an invitation card in person, Mable knew better than to refuse. She politely took it and nodded with a smile. “Mr. Joseph, the pleasure is all mine. No matter how busy, I will go to your birthday party."Joseph gave her a sincere look. “Come earlier. I’ll introduce you to some important politicians in Fasier.” “Sure. Thank you, Mr. Joseph.” Mable gestured for her people to walk Joseph out. After Joseph was gone, Solomon took the invitation card from Mable and studied it with a frown, “Is it just me, or has Joseph taken some sort of interest in you? As if coming to visit you in person isn’t enough, he even brought you an invitation card to his birthday party.” Amos nodded. “I feel the same way.” They had a feeling that Joseph was being particularly attentive toward Mable. Mable thought for a moment before remarking, “Maybe I just remind
Mable sharply cut Adam off, “I don't believe it!” She declared pointedly, “When it comes to this matter, the only one I will believe in is myself and the love Blair had for me. I will not believe anything you guys tell me!” “What if we are telling the truth? Are you going to consciously choose to deny it?” “I would rather believe that the ‘truth’ you guys tell me are lies!” Mable clenched the phone and stated soberly, “There are no absolutes in this world. How can you be so sure that the truth you speak of is true?” Adam did not know how to respond. Mable pressed him, “Do you get what I’m saying?” “Yeah.” Adam grunted and remained silent for a few seconds before finally stating, “In that case, I wish you nothing but good luck.” His voice was filled with sincerity. Mable did not respond and promptly hung up on him. Suddenly, a thick silence descended upon the world. She tossed her phone aside, got up, and headed to the balcony. She was just about t
“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
