"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
Mable gently touched the wound on Blair's chest, recalling the moment he was shot and fell to the ground, her heart aching. "You definitely didn't listen to the doctor and take proper care of your injuries." Mable's voice trembled with sadness, unable to contain her sorrow.She vaguely seemed to see him when she was drunk at home last time. When she woke up, Mable thought it was just a drunken hallucination. It must have been real when she recalled it now. He came back to the villa to see her.Seeing Mable's face filled with concern, Blair held her hand and spoke softly, "The bullet in the gun was a blank round with fragile bullets. It's not as powerful. Mabes, you don't need to worry."That was also the key point that allowed him to survive after being shot in the heart.Mable knew that blank rounds were less potent than real bullets, but with the gun pointed at his heart at such close range, even a blank round was enough to be fatal.Mable looked at the wound on Blair's righ
She looked at Blair earnestly. "Whatever his next plan is, it's none of your concern. Your priority now is to rest and recuperate. I'll inform Amos and Solomon that until you're fully recovered, they're not allowed to bother you with these matters. They can talk to me if there's anything, I'll handle it."Seeing Mable's serious expression, Blair did not object. He leaned in and rubbed his head against her shoulder. "Okay, I'll listen to the lady."After a pause, Blair raised his head with an equally profound expression. "Mabes, don't you think you owe me an explanation about your relationship with Howard? And what's with the rush to remarry?"Mable hesitated.She thought Blair had forgotten about it.Mable stood up. "We'll talk about it tomorrow. It's late now, and you need to rest."He was still a patient, and ensuring he got enough sleep and did not stay up late was crucial.Blair looked helplessly at Mable. He was about to say something when she helped and guided him back to
The next day, Solomon and Tracey arrived at the hospital before dawn.At the door of the ward, they hesitated outside, not daring to enter.Solomon learned about what happened last night from the bodyguard at the door, then finally could not help but ask, “How are Master Blair and Mable’s moods? Did they quarrel?”“Uh...”The guard had been standing outside. How would he know about their moods?As for whether they quarreled...“I don’t know if Master Blair and Madam quarreled, but... Madam cried, very sadly too.”They could even hear her crying from outside.Tracey and Solomon exchanged a glance, both having vague speculations.“Mabes probably cried because she was too emotional after seeing Blair alive...” Tracey guessed. Solomon cupped his chin and added, “Or she might have cried from anger because she found out she was deceived by Master Blair.”Tracey fell silent.She leaned against the door and quietly observed the scene inside the ward through the glass window on the
