Rory reached out to touch the stinging part on the back of his neck and felt a thin silver needle. “You…” Mable pushed him away and stood up. She played with the crystal bracelet on her wrist and smiled faintly. “I’ve grown a lot in these five years.” The master who taught Mable Chinese medicine was Rory’s adoptive father, so Rory and she knew a lot about medicine and poison. That was why Rory would definitely know if Mable were to drug him. Apart from drugging him, she could only use a silver needle. She was good at it too.“Ava!” Mable shouted. Ava had long been waiting outside. She quickly came in when Mable called out to her. “You… You…” Rory collapsed helplessly onto the sofa. He stared sharply at Mable and Ava. Ava helped him up and turned to look at Mable. “What’s next?” “Go to my room and bring my acupuncture bag.” The needle earlier could only paralyze Rory’s limbs temporarily. Given his physical condition, he would recover in two hours at most. Mable ha
Ava went to the surveillance room and saw through the CCTVs around the villa that many unfamiliar cars had indeed appeared in the vicinity. The Oak Villa was almost fully surrounded. “These cars appeared half an hour ago and have been hovering around the neighborhood. We’re not sure about their intentions.” Ava narrowed her eyes and turned cold. ‘Could they be the enemies of Rory or Mable?’ Nevertheless, they did not seem easy to deal with. Rory instantly ordered, “Keep an eye on them. If they dare make a move, you have permission to act!” “Understood!” Ava returned to the living room. Before long, Mable came downstairs. “How did it go?” Mable rubbed her red and swollen eyes. “He fell asleep.” Ava asked worriedly, “Are you sure he can recover his first personality?” Mable yawned. “It’s hard to say. Let’s see what happens when he wakes up tomorrow. His emotions have stabilized for now.” Seeing that she was tired, Ava said, “Go and rest. I’ll keep an eye on him to
Boom!A loud bang suddenly came from downstairs. Mable was shocked. “What’s going on?” Rory sat on the bed. He did not panic and asked indifferently, “What happened?” Ava went to the window to take a look. She saw a black SUV charging through the front gate. The bodyguards of the villa rushed out and surrounded the SUV. However, many men also came down from the cars behind the SUV. It seemed the other party wanted to break in. Ava said, “Someone barged in.” Mable suddenly thought of something. She immediately tensed up and ran to the window, just in time to see Blair come down from the car. ‘It really is him!’ Her heart was at her throat. She pushed the window open to shout to the bodyguards downstairs. “Stop! “No one is allowed to hurt him!” Blair looked up. The hostility on his face instantly disappeared when he met Mable’s gaze. “Mabes!” ‘Thank god she’s fine.’ Mable hurried downstairs. “Second Boss!” The bodyguards made way with respect as soon as t
Rory said with strong killing intent, “Ha, you talk big!” “Rory, how dare you?!” Mable looked fiercely at him. Rory stared back at her. His hand holding the gun could not help but tremble a little. She had never been so snappy with him. This was the first time. Surprisingly, it was for her ex-husband. “Mabes, let’s go!” Blair did not want to get entangled with Rory. He led Mable to the car. “Mable!” Rory uttered coldly. “Don’t you dare go with him!” Mable looked at Blair with trouble and looked back at Rory. Blair would definitely pester her and clash with Rory if she did not leave with him. On the other hand, Rory would not let it be if she left with Blair. They finally managed to suppress Rory’s second personality. It would be worse if it surfaced again. Mable looked at Blair and said, “Blair, why don’t you leave first? I’ll find you once I’m done here.” “Mable, this is non-negotiable!” Blair was stubborn. He would take her away today, no matter wh
Blair’s kiss knocked Mable out. When she suddenly fainted in his arms, he turned pale and immediately ordered the driver to go to the hospital. There, the doctor gave Mable a checkup. “She hasn’t been resting for the past few days, and the transaminase levels in her blood are much higher than normal. She’s overworked, sleep-deprived, and stressed. There seem to be some issues with her liver function, and the ECG shows that she has an internal injury…” Blair stood by the hospital bed and frowned as he listened to the doctor. Before Mable left Richworth, she barely rested and stayed up late every day formulating the antidote for Vortex for him. She probably did not get much rest either after coming to Fasier. While it had only been a few days, she had lost a lot of weight. As for the internal injury… Blair’s eyes filled with killing intent as he clenched his fists. … It was nighttime when Mable woke up. She opened her eyes and saw the IV drip bag hanging above her
“You want to see him? Fine, but I’ll go with you,” Blair said. Mable held her forehead and forced a laugh. “I wouldn’t dare let you two meet again. I wouldn’t know who to help if you fought!” Blair stared at her with a straight face. “You can help him if you like him!” Mable tsked. ‘Jealous much?’“I can’t be bothered talking to you. I’m going to take a shower!” Mable went to the bathroom. On the other hand, Blair walked to the balcony and called Arthur. “Look into Rory Hammond’s background. I want some results tomorrow morning.” “Understood, Master Blair.” After hanging up, Blair looked at the night sky with a ruthless glint in his eyes. All of a sudden, a ringtone came from the living room. Blair walked over to find that Mable’s phone was ringing. He picked it up and saw the caller ID—Rorr. ‘A nickname. ‘She saved my contact with my full name, whereas she used Rory’s nickname for his…’ Blair squeezed the phone tightly and answered the call after a moment
‘Whose adorable kid is this?!’ Mable could not help but look a few more times. Perhaps sensing someone was looking at him, the little boy turned to look at her. Both were stunned when their eyes met. Mable’s heart tightened without reason, as if she was deeply touched. She stared at the boy’s eyes. Somehow, they looked especially familiar. It was as though she had seen them before. Arthur looked at the boy and remarked, “The boy has Master Blair’s eyes.” No wonder Mable thought they seemed familiar. Upon closer look, she realized that the boy’s eyes were indeed similar to that of Blair. The boy was unsupervised and by himself. Mable walked over after some thought and kneeled beside him. “Kid, why are you here alone? Where are your mom and dad?” The boy stared at her and pursed his lips without saying anything. “Hm?” Mable asked the boy again. The boy still kept quiet, but his eyes suddenly turned red. “Hey, don’t cry, don’t cry. Did you lose them? I’ll hel
Spike nodded. “Okay. Let’s go there, but it’s quite far,” Mable said. Then, she said to Arthur, “Arthur, please get us some cookies, bread, and drinks from the convenience store next door.” The cafe was quite far from where they were and would take close to an hour. So, Mable wanted to prepare some snacks for Spike in case he got hungry along the way. Arthur nodded and opened the car door. “Okay. Get in the car first. I’ll be back in a while.” As Mable carried Spike into the car, he kissed her face. He held up his phone to show her what he just typed: [Thank you, auntie. I like you, pretty auntie.] There was even a cute hugging emoticon at the end of the sentence. Mable felt her heart melt. She caressed Spike’s head. “You’re welcome. I quite like you, too.” For some reason, she felt Spike was well-behaved and adorable since she first saw him. She could not help but want to hug him and get close to him. … Meanwhile, Hurlingham Club. It was quiet and bright in th
