Blair shopped the whole afternoon and only managed to get half of the things on his list. When they got home that night, Mable collapsed in bed right away. “I don’t think we need to get the remaining things, dear. The stuff we bought today is good enough.” Blair was preparing to give away way too many items. The Jefferson Residence’s living room might not even have the space to fit all the gifts. Blair looked at the list on his phone memo and said with a frown, “Enough? I don’t even think the items on the list are enough.” Mable sat up, looked at him, and said with a smile, “Are you really nervous right now, dear?” Blair sighed. He drew close to take her hand. “I’m really nervous.” Despite having met Ralph a few times before, Blair still could not figure him out.Mable hugged Blair on the waist, sticking her face against his chest. She replied with a smile, “Don’t be nervous. You have me.” Blair shuffled her long hair. “I won’t go wrong by following the gift etiquette
Mable smiled courteously without making things awkward. She hoped Anthony was not serious about courting her. She rejected the flowers. “I only accept flowers from Blair.” Anthony glanced at the bouquet in hand and looked regrettable. “That’s a shame.” Then, he asked, “Was what you said at the hotel garden the other day false?” “I knew he was behind me. I meant to say all those things for him to hear.” At first, Anthony was dumbfounded, but then he started to laugh. Here he thought he had manipulated Mable into saying those words. Anthony never suspected Mable would intentionally say that, knowing Blair was listening.He was the one being set up. “What’s so good about Blair anyway? Why do you like him?” Anthony could not figure it out. Mable did not want to waste her breath with Anthony, much less reply to his nonsensical questions. She cut to the chase and asked, “Aren’t you going to tell me where you bought the drug?” That was the purpose of her trip today. A
Anthony took a sip of tea and said leisurely, “Mable, I called you out today to tell you that the Fowlers have a hereditary mental illness that only affects the men. Typically, only the firstborn inherits the illness.”Mable was in shock. The genetic mental illness was only passed down to the firstborn. It would mean that Blair… Anthony said, “Since my dad and grandfather are the firstborns, they inherited the disease when they were born. As the oldest son, Blair also has the illness.” Mable’s breath hitched. She remembered Blair experiencing a dramatic shift in emotions once. That was when her Necro Poison acted up as well.Tracey said their recent breakup upset Blair, leading to his wild mood swings. So, he was given a sedative. Mable found it strange at the time, wondering why he needed a shot of sedative to calm down from an emotional outburst. Plus, Mable had checked Blair’s pulse when he was asleep. His pulse showed abnormal readings. Mable brushed it off, thinkin
Mable scoffed sarcastically. “We are more solid than you think.” Anthony looked at Mable with a scowl. “What does Blair the sicko have that I don’t, Mable? If you want—” “Shut up!” Furious, Mable splashed the tea on his face. She grabbed Anthony by the collar and said with a mean face, “Anthony, I will pulverize the sanity out of you if you ever call Blair a sicko again.” Anthony met Mable’s stern gaze, feeling the murderous intent from her. “You can try me,” Mable warned him. Anthony nodded slowly. “I got it.” Mable let go of him and turned around to leave. “Mable.” Anthony called out to Mable, his hazel eyes hiding the darkness. “Since you are loving and committed to Blair, I wish you a happy marriage of a lifetime.” Mable smirked and walked out of the room without looking back. The door opened and closed. Anthony sat back down on the sofa and picked up the bouquet of sunflowers with a chilling smile. Blair was lucky. He had a woman who loved him. Anth
When Mable left the club, she received a call from Rahman. “Mabes, I tracked down the seller of Formula 73!”At last, they traced the whereabouts. “Where’s the formula now?” Mable asked right away. “We have the formula, but we couldn’t apprehend the seller. He escaped, and…” Rahman was hesitant. “I suspect the seller copied the documents, even though we found the original.”Formula 73 was not just one formula. It was a collection of formulas. A thick medical book with over a dozen pharmaceutical recipes, LSD was just one of the listed formulas. Mable figured from the start that the perpetrator would copy the documents. Her concern was the original. Her teacher left behind dozens of formula collections, which he compiled himself. She did not want to lose any of the originals. “Keep Formula 73 with you for now. Keep digging on the seller who ran away.” “Alright.” Mable chatted with Rahman for a while, then hung up. She sent Paul a GPS location and texted him to
Dumbfounded, Paul met Mable’s sharp gaze. He was at a loss for words. He sighed. “Seriously, Mable. Nothing escapes you.” Paul said while pulling out a cigarette from his bag. Mable snatched it away before he could light the tobacco. “Does Blair have a hereditary mental illness?” Mable asked. Paul shrugged. “Why do you ask when you already know?” Mable had no words. So, it was true. “Is it bad? Can you treat it?” Paul replied, “It isn’t severe. It’s treatable. I wouldn’t be his doctor if you treated him.” Mable threw the cigarette back at him. “I only found out about his illness today.” She would have started the treatment early on if she had known about Blair’s medical condition. Paul looked at Mable. “I heard from Kyle that you’re dating Blair. When did you get together?” Mable corrected him. “We’re not dating.” “Huh?” Mable flashed the rock, and Paul spotted the diamond ring on her finger. “We’re engaged.” Paul was tempted to roll his eyes. He was blin
Paul’s sister’s name was Coral. She was a lively and lovely girl but later suffered from emotional trauma and fell into depression.With Paul’s treatment and companionship, she was on the path to recovery. However, her young life was cut short due to a tragic car accident.The person responsible for the accident was none other than Rory.More accurately, it was Rory’s alter ego.Mable was not with them then, so she did not have a clear understanding of the accident. She only heard about it from Adam after the fact.It was also the reason why Paul harbored a deep hatred for Rory.If not for the fact that Rory was their master’s adopted son, Paul would have definitely killed him to avenge Coral.Mable looked at Paul, not knowing what to say for a moment.Although it was an accident, the person who died was still his sister. She did not experience his pain, so she could not persuade him to forgive Rory.Mable sighed and said, “Okay, forget I mentioned it.”Paul’s expression rema
After listening to Mable, Paul clicked his tongue and said, “So, you guys are remarrying.”“Yeah.” Mable nodded.After twists and turns, the person who remained by her side was still Blair. How nice.Blair was very quick and arrived in less than twenty minutes.Mable saw him and stood up, waving her hand. “Over here!”Blair walked over and noticeably paused when he saw Paul sitting across from Mable.“Hey, brother-in-law.”Paul greeted him with a dry smile.Blair looked at Paul and Mable, confused. “Brother-in-law?”Mable held Blair’s arm and introduced them. “Darling, let me introduce you. This is my junior, Paul.”Blair paused. “You two studied medicine together?”“Yep.”Mable pulled Blair over to sit down and said with a smile, “Paul started a year later than me.”Paul said, “I’m still a greenhorn. Mable learned from our master for much longer and inherited his true teachings.”Blair looked at Mable and then at Paul. “Why didn’t you recognize each other when you met at
