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
Mable thought it was the doctor coming for his rounds, but to her surprise, Solomon and Tracey entered.Tracey stood at the door, not daring to come in as she observed Blair and Mable’s expressions. “Mabes, Blair, good morning.”Blair glanced at Tracey and nodded.“Tracey, could you help buy breakfast?” Mable looked at her and asked.Solomon quickly came in with the breakfast he had just bought. “Already done. It’s a nutritious breakfast, too!”“Thank you.”Solomon placed the breakfast down and stood to the side with Tracey. They both looked like two students waiting to be punished for doing something wrong.Blair sat in a wheelchair and looked at them. “Do you need something else?”Solomon and Tracey exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison. “Not really.”Blair raised his brows. “Then why are you still here?”“Don’t you blame us for telling Mabes you’re still alive?” Tracey asked cautiously. To which Solomon immediately said, “It’s not ‘us’. It’s just you, Tracey. I
Eugenie knew that Blair had something to discuss with her, so she came to the hospital early in the morning.Unexpectedly, when she arrived at Blair’s ward, she saw Mable, whom she had not seen for a long time.Tracey looked at the shocked Eugenie and explained, “Mabes knows everything now...”Eugenie smiled. “I see.”Mable looked at Blair unhappily and asked, “Was I the only one who didn’t know you were still alive?”She was the person closest to him, yet he kept it from her...It would be a lie to say that she was not angry.Blair held her hand. “Not many know. I needed to ask Eugenie for help to remove the Necro Poison from you, so I couldn’t hide it from her.”Mable’s heart skipped a beat when she heard him say that.She knew the method to remove the Necro Poison. It was to extract the male base from Blair’s body...However, if the male base had been extracted, Blair would not live much longer.“Blair, if I have to choose between removing the Necro Poison and your life,
Mable had discussed this with Eugenie on the phone before, who had said it was impossible.However, Jeremiah was very confident, as were Rory and Adam. So, there was probably some hidden truth behind it.Thus, she wanted confirmation again.Eugenie looked at Mable and then at Blair. After a few seconds of silence, she finally said, “Mable, Mr. Fowler, as far as I know, it’s impossible.”Her tone was very serious.Tracey and Solomon both sighed in relief at her words.“I knew it. How could something that sounds like fantasy be possible?”Then, before Solomon could finish speaking, Eugenie continued, “Unless...”That single word made everyone in the room hold their breath.Eugenie clenched her fists, seemingly hesitating on whether to speak. She took a deep breath to say, “Unless you two have the Proto Necro Poison.”Tracey was confused. “Huh?”Solomon asked, “The Proto Necro Poison?”“What does that mean?” Mable questioned.Blair stared at Eugenie, his dark eyes becoming de
“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
