In the Goodman residence’s backyard basement, Kyle looked at Jeremiah locked up inside, his face expressionless.“What did you want to tell me, Mr. Muller?”In the dim basement, Jeremiah’s hands were handcuffed behind his back. His hair was disheveled, there were bruises on his lips, and his white shirt was stained with blood.Both sides got into a fight during last night’s capture. Being outnumbered, Jeremiah naturally suffered injuries.Kyle had a doctor look at him. However, since they were all superficial wounds and not life-threatening, he left Jeremiah be.It was fine as long as Jeremiah was still breathing.Jeremiah raised his head, his eyes bloodshot after several days without sleep. He looked rather terrifying.“Where’s Eugenie?” He asked in a hoarse voice.If they had not deliberately leaked her whereabouts, he would not have taken such a risk and ended up getting caught.Kyle looked at him and smirked meaningfully. “Heh...”Seeing Jeremiah’s anxiousness, he slowed
‘Eugenie...’Kyle looked at Jeremiah and frowned deeply. “What do you mean?”Jeremiah said indifferently, “Eugenie is a South Jumonte poison master. If you want to know, ask her.”Then, Jeremiah stopped speaking.He knew that Kyle would not tell him where Jeremiah was, so it was meaningless to ask further.Jeremiah was now extremely grateful that he took the poison that year. At least, in such a situation, he would know at any time whether she was safe.As long as she was alive, he would have the chance to find her again.Kyle stared at Jeremiah for a few seconds with furrowed brows, then finally turned and left.‘Our lives are bound to each other. We share life and death together.’Recalling what Jeremiah said, Kyle felt a bit uneasy.What did Jeremiah mean by that?Kyle thought about it and decided to tell Eugenie about this tomorrow.Back in the bedroom, he changed into his pajamas and lay down. Zoe moved closer to him.“Where did you go?” Her voice was soft with a nasa
At the airport, Eugenie bought a ticket for noon back to South Jumonte with a connecting flight to a different city.She had been away from South Jumonte for many years but did not intend to stay long after returning this time. She only planned to take a look and visit the Tonham area next.At ten in the morning, Eugenie arrived at the airport and was just about to check in her luggage when her phone rang.It was from Kyle. They exchanged numbers a few days ago when they asked her for help.Why was he calling her now?“Hello, Mr. Goodman?” Eugenie answered the phone.Immediately, Kyle’s voice said, “It’s me, Ms. Landon. I have something to tell you. Is it convenient for you to talk?”Eugenie walked to a quieter place. “Sure, go ahead.”Kyle said, “I went to see Jeremiah last night, and he said some incomprehensible things to me. I thought it was necessary to tell you.”Eugenie frowned and gripped her phone tightly.What did Jeremiah say to Kyle?After a few seconds of silenc
Eugenie squatted on the ground, hugging herself tightly as Jeremiah’s words echoed in her ears.Her rationality told her Jeremiah was lying and that it was impossible.However, for some reason, a humble hope emerged in her heart.What if he was telling the truth?Eugenie hugged her head, trembling like a leaf. “No... It’s impossible. It’s fake. Eugenie Landon, he’s just a liar. His words can’t be trusted.”He deceived and abandoned her. How could he share life and death with her if he clearly did not take the Lifebond Poison?Moreover, without love, the Lifebond Poison would not work.“Miss, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?” A kind samaritan saw Eugenie crouching on the ground, seemingly in pain, and came forward to ask.Eugenie raised her head, her vision somewhat blurred.The person saw her tear-streaked face and felt at a loss. “Uh, Miss... Are you okay? Do you need help?”“I’m fine, thank you.”Eugenie wiped the tears on her face and stood up with the help of her lu
Mable walked over to the bedside and handed Lemon, who could not wait to be hugged by her dad, to Blair.“Let Daddy hold you, sweetheart.”Blair held Lemon and kissed her soft face.“Daddy, kissy...” Lemon also kissed her daddy’s cheek, her large eyes staring adorably at him.The familiar embrace of her father made her feel warm.Lemon hugged his neck tightly, refusing to let go. She nuzzled her little head against his chest, acting spoiled.Finally, she could see her dad again after missing him so much.Mable was worried about the wounds on Blair’s body and stroked Lemon’s head. “Sweetie, Daddy’s body is still injured. You can’t hug him so tightly, or you’ll make the wounds hurt.”As soon as Lemon heard that her father was injured, she stopped acting spoiled in his arms and pouted softly. “Hurt? Daddy is hurt...”Blair looked at the little girl in his arms, his heart softening. “Daddy is fine.”The time the family of five spent together was warm yet short.In the evening, t
Later on, when they finally managed to come to an understanding, something else happened and drove a wedge between them… Blair took Mable into his arms and drew his lips closer towards her ear, “I promise I will never do something like this again.” He gently cupped Mable's cheeks in her palms and spoke with profound love in his eyes, “There will no longer be any secrets between us. I will never put myself in danger again.” Mable gently kissed him and smiled warmly. “That’s more like it.” Blair affectionately flicked the tip of Mable's nose and then confessed in a gentle voice, “Mabes, getting to fall in love with you is the greatest thing to have ever happened to me.” Mable smiled warmly and followed the same tune, “In that case, you better cherish me and love me like you should in the days to come.” “I will.” Mable angled her wrist to check the time on her watch. It was almost ten o'clock. “Alright, dear husband. If you want to live out the rest of your life wit
Blair's expression suddenly darkened upon hearing this. Even though Connor was Mable's father, Blair was not fond of him. Even if he were to excuse Connor for teaming up with Rory to get him killed, he could not forgive Connor’s attempt to stop him from getting together with Mable. So what if the man was the father of his lover?! Mable noted the way Blair's expression darkened and could tell what was on his mind. She put down the phone and leaned into him while wrapping her arms around his waist. “I never once thought of him as my father since the moment I regained my memory. I won’t let anyone hurt you, even if it is my father.” She gently grazed her fingers against Blair’s eyebrows and declared stoutly, “I will never forgive him for what he did to you.” Blair took Mable's hand and put it to her lips to plant a kiss. The look in his eyes softened as he spoke, “Mabes, I’ll take care of it. You don’t have to get involved.” Mable chuckled, “Why? Do you think I wouldn
Blair stared at Mable and gently tousled her hair between his fingers. “Astrid, we are your family!” Connor's voice was grave. Mable immediately retorted, “No! Not anymore!” “What do you mean by that?” Connor frowned. Mable declared vehemently, “I’m going to cut off all ties with the Mullers. “From now on, I am no longer related to you people!” Mable's tone was severe. She was relentless and did not allow Connor even a second to speak his mind. “One more thing. I will never let Jeremiah get away with it! If you have time to call me, why don’t you start thinking about how you are going to deal with whatever comes next?!” She was not going to hurt Connor since he was her birth father. However, she was not going to be too lenient with him either. It was the only way she could claim justice for herself. Connor seemed to understand what Mable was hinting at. His voice trembled as he spoke, “Astrid, you…” Mable had enough of bickering with him and proceeded to han
