"Well, I…" Tracey pursed her lips, hesitatingly speaking, "It was March who told me she was worried about you, so she called me."Mable could tell Tracey was lying just by looking at her. However, she did not expose her and calmly said, "As you can see, I'm not in danger. You can go back.""Huh? But I…" Tracey had promised her brother to take Mable away; she could not return alone.Glancing at Howard on the side and then at Mable, Tracey casually found an excuse. "Mabes, Little Lemon said her stomach was hurting when I left. I didn't know what was happening, so I called Aunt Laura to contact the doctor. Let's go back and check on her first."Mable knew Tracey was lying to her but still showed a worried expression. "Little Lemon's stomach hurts?""Yeah, let's go back first.""Okay." Mable grabbed her bag and looked at Howard. "Howard, I'm heading back now. We'll meet another time."Tracey thought, ‘Another time? Absolutely not!’Seeing Mable was in a hurry, Howard then off
Blair clenched his eyes shut, exerting strong willpower to resist rushing after Mable. Soon, another car pulled up at the hotel entrance."It's Mr. Solomon," the driver said."Let him come over," Blair ordered."Yes, Sir."Solomon quickly joined Blair in his car, his face filled with shock. "Master Blair, what brings you here?"Blair glanced at Solomon, his dark eyes piercing, and spoke sharply, "Don't let me catch sight of Howard anywhere in Richworth.""Huh?" Solomon looked puzzled. Why was Master Blair suddenly so aggressive?Could it be that something had happened between Mable and Howard? The thought made Solomon's expression change.Judging from Master Blair's demeanor, it was a high likelihood!Seeing Solomon frozen in place, Blair became angry. "Get going already!""Yes, yes, I'm going!" Solomon scrambled out of the car, fearing Master Blair's wrath.That brat, Howard, had been warned last night to stay away from Mable. He did not listen; now, he would run into a
The phone rang incessantly, making Mable tense as she clutched it. With every unanswered ring, her heart raced faster. Eventually, it stopped ringing, and the call was unattended.She dialed again, but still no answer. Blair probably knew it was her calling and intentionally avoided picking up.Alone in her vast bedroom, Mable felt a hollow emptiness inside. "Blair, I know you're alive. Why won't you come out and see me?" she murmured to herself. Sadness was evident in her voice.Mable was hopeful, but...She became depressed, sitting in the bedroom for a long while before suddenly standing up and heading to Tracey's room.No, she could not wait any longer!At that moment, Tracey was on the phone with Arthur, discussing Mable's situation.Tracey was worried that Mable might move on. What would happen to her brother?"Knock, knock."The sound of knocking interrupted them.Tracey jumped off the bed immediately. "Mabes is here to see me. Let's talk later."With that, sh
"Mabes, my brother is very concerned about you. He went through a life-threatening ordeal and was unconscious for half a month. When he woke up, the first thing he asked about was how you were. He kept it from you for other plans, but definitely not because he doesn't love you."Mable trembled uncontrollably as she listened to Tracey's words.She could imagine how serious Blair's injuries were. That bullet had pierced his heart.Hot blood splattered on her face as she watched him collapse in front of her.The cruise suddenly exploded, and he sank into the sea amid a blaze.In such a dire situation, the hope of survival was truly slim.Tracey said that he had gone through a life-threatening ordeal was not an exaggeration.Even if he survived, he must have been severely injured.Was he unwilling to see her because he was too injured to travel to her side?Mable suddenly remembered the man who had appeared at the bar the previous night, as described by Howard.Wearing a mask, si
Tracey exclaimed, "What?!"Cold sweat dripped down Tracey's back. After a while, she stuttered, "Seriously."Solomon explained, "Master Blair doesn't want Mable to know he's still alive. It's not that he doesn't want to see her; he doesn't want her to see him in his current state. Master Blair, being as strong-willed as he is, would rather suffer silently than let Mable suffer."Tracey sniffled, feeling sorry for her brother."He doesn't want Mable to suffer? How is that possible? Mable hasn't had a single day without sadness lately."Hearing Tracey's words, Solomon suddenly realized something. "I get it!""What do you know?""Mable must have suspected that Master Blair was still alive long ago. That's why she deliberately told me about her intention to remarry. Yesterday, she went to Sleepless City probably to force Master Blair to show up. But who knew she got drunk and couldn't remember what happened last night, so today she arranged to meet Howard at the hotel."Solomon fig
The nurse was frightened by Mable's fierce demeanor, trembling as she spoke, "Mrs. Fowler, please calm down. Master Blair has passed away. Acting like this won't bring him peace."Mable interrupted sharply. "Shut up! Blair isn't dead! He's still alive, right here! You all—""Mable?"A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.Mable turned around and saw Kyle and Wilbur standing behind her.Kyle had learned that Blair had left the hospital again tonight. Although nothing had happened, his bodyguards reported that he returned with a terrible expression, smashing things in the ward out of anger. Kyle was worried, so he came to the hospital to check.As expected, Blair's situation tonight was related to Mable.After Kyle finished checking on Blair, he coincidentally met Wilbur, who was about to leave. So, they went downstairs together.Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they heard Mable's voice.Kyle thought he had misheard, but when he looked up, it w
The balcony on the top floor offered a good view, but there was not much to see at night in the suburbs, just darkness stretching out. The late autumn night breeze carried a chill.Blair sat in his wheelchair, gazing at the pitch-black night sky, his mind filled with intimate pictures of Mable and Howard together. No man could stay calm after seeing the woman he deeply loved with someone else. He was no exception.Blair clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his hand, emanating a violent aura. He could not imagine what he would do if Mable truly fell for someone else. What could he do? All he knew was that he would not let her go, even if it meant she would end up hating him. He was not afraid of the consequences.Lost in thought, footsteps suddenly approached behind him. Blair narrowed his eyes dangerously, thinking it might be a nurse or a bodyguard checking on him."Get lost!" he growled lowly. His emotions were unstable, and he did not want anyone to distu
Blair's heart ached when watching Mable’s tears streaming down her face. Limping over to her, he glanced at the shattered glass. He was relieved that the cup had landed near her feet. If it had hit her head, he would have regretted it deeply."Mabes, I'm sorry." Blair started, his voice catching in his throat as he reached out to wipe her tears. Before he could do so, Mable threw her arms around him tightly."Blair.." Mable clung to Blair, crying as if her heart were breaking. It seemed she was trying to merge herself into his very being, never to be separated again. No one could tear them apart."Mabes, Mabes…" Blair held Mable tightly, burying his head in her neck. His tears fell onto her skin.Mable wanted to scold him, demanding why he had deceived her, and even punch him angrily. However, holding onto her beloved, she felt a profound sense of preciousness. She dared not let go, fearing that he might vanish if she did, just like her dream when she woke up, finding noth
