Blair held Mable’s hand tightly and said, “You’d better not get involved in this matter.”When Mable heard this, she became infuriated and shook off his hand. “How could you help that bastard Kyle? Didn’t you see how badly he hurt Zoe? I…”Blair interrupted Mable helplessly. “This is between them. It’s best if they resolve it themselves.”After a pause, he added, “I know Kyle. He wouldn’t do such a thing. There must be some kind of misunderstanding. As outsiders, let’s not interfere in their relationship.”Mable glared at him angrily. “Outsider? Zoe isn’t an outsider!”Blair raised his eyebrows. “Are you and Zoe that close?”Yesterday, he wanted to ask why Mable was so nice to Zoe. They did not look like ordinary friends who had only known each other for a month or two.Mable pursed her lips. “I treat Zoe as a sister and won’t allow anyone to hurt her!”“Even so, this is their relationship…”Before Blair finished speaking, Mable’s phone rang.Mable took out her phone and saw
“Mabes.” Blair hugged Mable and ran his fingers through her hair, gently massaging her scalp.Mable felt that he had something to say. “What’s wrong?”Blair moved his lips. In the end, he swallowed the words he wanted to say and kissed her lips.“I love you.”His affectionate words lingered in Mable’s ears.Mable smiled and responded to his kiss. “I love you too.”Blair stared at Mable with a somewhat complicated expression and thought, ‘I’ll tell her about that matter after our wedding.’......On the other hand, Kyle worked overtime and returned to the villa after midnight.The living room was dark and quiet.Kyle turned on the light. When he saw the pink slippers placed in the hallway, he became irritated.He loosened his tie and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of ice water. Then, he drank it in one gulp.“Sir, you’re back.”Laura heard the commotion and walked out of her room.Kyle glanced at her, nodded slightly, and ordered, “Pack up everything Zoe left behind a
Zoe did not sleep last night. After the doctor completed his rounds in the morning, Zoe asked the doctor if she could leave the hospital for a few hours to do something urgent. She promised to be back in time for the IV drip.When Kyle saw Zoe, he could not help but think of the photo Blair had sent him the night before.Zoe looked at Kyle and said, “I left my ID in the villa.”She purposely went just before Kyle left for work so she could ask him a few questions in person.Kyle nodded, took out her ID card from his wallet, and handed it to her.He found it in the drawer last night. Kyle did not know why, but he put her ID card into his wallet without much thought.Kyle knew Zoe would come back to get such an important item.Zoe took the ID from him. Just as Kyle was about to get in the car, she grabbed the door handle.Kyle frowned, looking impatient as he said, “Let go!”Zoe only stared at him stubbornly. “Kyle, I have two more questions for you.”Kyle sneered. “What do you
Kyle squinted his eyes slightly. His eyes glinted dangerously. “Kill me? Ha! We’ll see if you’re capable of that.”Zoe said nothing and left.Kyle looked at Zoe’s figure and felt an indescribable surge of emotions in his heart.He tugged on his tie, feeling extremely irritable.......Zoe did not know how she managed to get back to the hospital.All she could think of was Kyle’s sardonic smile.Zoe felt like a joke.A complete joke.When Mable went to the hospital in the morning, she saw Zoe sitting on the bed, staring blankly into space. Zoe was silent, and she looked miserable.Mable heard from the nurse Zoe had gone out early in the morning and guessed that Zoe must have gone to see Kyle.Mable hugged Zoe’s shoulders in distress. “Zoe, are you okay?”Zoe looked at Mable and regained focus in her eyes. “Mabes, I remember you mentioned that you can seal a person’s memory with the Nine Needles Technique, right?”Mable was startled. She looked at Zoe seriously. “Zoe, althou
When Mable returned to the hospital, she remembered that she had an appointment with the gynecologist that day.She went to get a number, had a body check-up, and did an HCG test. Since it was late, the test results would not come out until tomorrow.After the examination, Mable went to the ward to see Zoe.Zoe was awake and preparing to be discharged.“Mabes, I bought a ticket to return to Fasier tomorrow morning,” Zoe said to Mable.Mable nodded. “What time is your flight? I’ll see you off.”“It’s okay. You’ve been so kind to take care of me these past two days. You should rest.”Zoe hugged Mable and said, “Don’t worry about me. I’m not that fragile. I’ll get over him.”“Mabes, I may not be able to attend your wedding. I’m really sorry I have to back out of being your bridesmaid.”“It’s okay.” Mable patted Zoe’s back to comfort her.“Zoe, one day you will meet a man who treats you wholeheartedly.”Zoe said nothing.Mable wanted to take Zoe back to the villa. However, Zoe
Mable changed the topic and asked, “Is there a problem with the company recently? I noticed you’ve been very busy ever since you came back.”Blair suppressed the emotions in his heart and shook his head. “It’s not a big problem. Don’t worry.”Mable nodded and did not ask any more questions.After dinner, Blair was processing some documents in the study when he received a call from Kyle.“Is Mable with you?” Kyle asked as soon as the call was connected.Blair laughed and said, “Why? Do you want to take revenge on her, too?”Although Kyle was his close friend, Blair would not allow Kyle to hurt Mable.Kyle said, “No. I have something to tell you about Mable.”Blair spun the pen in his hand and said, “What is it?”“I’ve been keeping something from you this whole time. Zoe was the one who stole the A117 reagent from me.”“What?” Blair sat up straight. There was a sharp glint in his eyes.“I never told you because I wanted to deal with Zoe on my own.”Kyle continued, “I also fou
Positive!Mable stared at the report in her hand with wide eyes and covered her mouth with one hand. She could not believe what she read.She repeatedly confirmed the name and ID on the report several times, fearing that the hospital had made a mistake.However, the name and ID were correct.She was six weeks pregnant.Mable touched her belly. There was a life growing in her.She never thought that such a miracle would happen to her.Mable’s eyes teared up in joy.She was seriously injured in that incident five years ago. At that time, the doctor said her chances of getting pregnant were extremely slim. So, she never had any hope for it.Unexpectedly, God gave her such a miracle.Mable lowered her head and stared at her flat belly.It was her and Blair’s child.They had a child together.At six weeks, one would be able to hear the baby’s heartbeat through ultrasound. Thinking of this, Mable immediately made an appointment for an ultrasound.Soon, it was her turn.Mable w
Mable thought about it for a while and agreed.There was a shopping mall nearby with a cafe. So, Mable parked the car and walked to the shopping mall with the woman.The woman walked beside Mable and held the umbrella over Mable’s head ingratiatingly.Mable immediately distanced herself from the woman. “Thank you, but there’s no need.”The woman said nothing and followed Mable into the mall with a smile.When they arrived at the cafe, Mable wanted to order a cup of coffee. However, she recalled that she was pregnant and ordered a cup of kiwi juice instead.The woman just ordered a glass of water.“So, who are you, and what do you want from me?” Mable got straight to the point.The woman stared at Mable. “Mable.”Mable immediately interrupted her. “Please be more formal with me.”“I’ll call you Ms. Jefferson, then.”The woman picked up the glass and took a sip of water. She stared at Mable with a soft gaze. “Hello, Ms. Jefferson. My name is Olivia Page.”She paused and flash
