Mable would be in pain the whole day during the Necro Poison attack. Rory fought poison with poison, numbing her senses from pain. However, the method had rendered her unconscious for a while. The doctors would take Mable’s blood pressure and temperature every two hours. They had to give her a shot to stabilize her pregnancy, too. Adam walked into the room and instructed the doctors to monitor Mable's vitals closely, as today was crucial.Zoe could not shake off her concern as she stared at Mable’s pale face. “Mabes has been out for three days, Adam. Will she be alright?” Adam nodded. “Don’t worry. Rorr won’t let anything happen to her.” Zoe held Mable’s hand. “Please be strong, Mabes. You must make it through.” She stared at Mable’s belly and sighed to herself. She could not understand why Mable would risk her life to protect her unborn child. Was it worth it to bear the child of the man who did not love her, used her, and tried to kill her? He did not deserve her. If
After Rory left, Zoe walked in.“Mabes, are you okay?”Zoe looked at Mable’s pale face and felt somewhat regretful. Mable would not have been poisoned if Zoe had not knocked her out and brought her back.Mable shook her head. “I’m fine.”“I’m sorry.”Zoe stood before Mable and lowered her head, not daring to meet her eyes in guilt.She said she would let Mable deal with her however she wanted after she woke up.A self-deprecating smile appeared on Mable’s face. “Don’t apologize. If not for you all, I’d still be used like a fool by Blair.”Zoe looked at Mable hesitatingly.She, too, had been betrayed and used by someone she loved. So, she knew how painful it was.“Mabes, that scumbag Blair doesn’t deserve you at all. Someday, you’ll meet a man who will love you wholeheartedly.”Mable stared at Zoe and suddenly laughed.Those words she used to console Zoe had come back to her in such a short time.Mable held back the moisture in her eyes and looked at Zoe. “Zoe, aren’t I stu
“Master Blair.”Mable looked up and saw Liv.The moment Blair saw her, he put down the scissors in his hand and walked toward her without hesitation.“Blair!”Mable shouted, not wanting him to leave.Blair simply glanced back at her, then wrapped his arm around Liv’s shoulders and left resolutely.The bomb exploded. Through the flames, Mable seemed to see Blair and Liv having a wedding in the chapel at Mair Manor...“Blair—!”Mable screamed and woke up with a gasp. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat.What a terrifying nightmare.The first part was based on real events. Did that mean the second part might also come true?Would Blair marry Liv?Mable suddenly picked up her phone and turned it on.There were dozens of missed calls, most of them from Blair.She stared at the number she had saved as ‘Darling’ and called him back with trembling fingers.The phone rang, but no one answered.It was early in the morning in Richworth.Mable mustered the courage to call again
Blair entered and immediately saw Olivia holding his phone.Olivia hid the panic in her eyes and said, “Master Blair, your phone rang earlier. I was...”Before she could finish her sentence, the phone rang.Olivia was greatly relieved and immediately handed him the phone. “It’s for you, Master Blair.”Blair took the phone. It was a call from Solomon.“Hello?”The next moment, Solomon’s voice sounded from the phone. “Master Blair, I just received some information. Rahman has arrived in Richworth and brought quite a few men with him.”Blair frowned. “Who else is with him?”“No one.”Blair clenched his jaw. “Keep an eye on them!”“Yes.”Blair asked, “Any recent developments with Ralph?”“We have people monitoring him constantly. No developments so far, though.”Solomon rather admired Ralph. He was locked up for so long but could remain calm.Solomon did not know if it was just his imagination. However, he felt like Ralph was too calm. It was as if everything was in the palm
Nicki felt somewhat disappointed. She bit her lower lip and shook her head.It was not that she did not want to leave this place, but that she did not want to be alone with her mother.“If you don’t want to leave, do as Mommy tells you later, okay?”Nicki wrung her hands nervously and nodded in fear.Olivia nodded and revealed an evil smile. “Go to the garden and call 23 out...”...Blair went to the villa where Ralph was imprisoned.The three-story villa was on the outskirts and surrounded by his people inside and out, making it impossible to escape.Blair got out of the car and saw Ralph sitting in the garden from a distance, playing chess with Hugh.Although Blair imprisoned them here, he did not restrict their freedom. They could do whatever he wanted as long as they did not leave the villa.He walked over.Hugh saw Blair and said coldly, “Master Blair, you’ve finally decided to show up.”If Ralph had not told him to act recklessly, he would have already contacted his p
In the hospital.In the emergency room, Olivia sat weakly on a sick bed. One hand was wrapped in bandages, and there were bloodstains on her white dress.Nicki stood by the bed with tears streaming down her face, crying uncontrollably.“Don’t cry, sweetie. Your mommy will be fine. It’s just a minor injury.”The nurse who was attending to Olivia comforted Nicki.She could not help but glance at Nicki. How could this woman, as a mother, not console her crying child?Her injuries were not serious at all. However, she was acting like she was dying.When Olivia heard the nurse say her injuries were not serious, she leaned back on the bed and massaged her temples. “Miss, I feel dizzy.”The nurse checked her condition and said, “Rest in bed for a while. If you still don’t feel better, ring the bell.”There was no injury on her head, so the dizziness was due to low blood sugar. A little rest would help her recover.“Okay, thank you.”After the nurse left, Olivia looked at Nicki and
Blair nodded. He remembered someone had drugged Liv with an unknown substance five years ago. However, he still did not know what that substance was.It was only now that he had found her, and she had undergone a full-body checkup that revealed a rare toxin that integrated into her bloodstream.Blair asked, “Have you figured out the detoxification method?”Dr. Zimmer said, “I’ve done a lot of research recently and did find a way to detoxify her. However, the most crucial medicinal herb is very hard to come by.”“What is it?”“The Ice Jade Flower.”Blair was stunned and frowned.The last remaining Ice Jade Flower had been given to Mable.Dr. Zimmer explained, “Master Blair, the Ice Jade Flower can neutralize all sorts of poisons. Using it will definitely cure Ms. Page.”Blair shook his head and said in a low voice, “The Ice Jade Flower has already been given to someone else. Is there any other method?”Dr. Zimmer looked at Blair in surprise. “There are no other methods.”Afte
In Oak Villa of Linders Castle, Frasier.After breakfast, Rory prepared to return to the castle with Mable and the others by helicopter.The castle was not far from Linders City, only an hour away by helicopter.Just before boarding, Rory received a call and went to the study with Adam.Mable waited in the living room. She did not sleep a wink last night. Her spirits were low, and her complexion was not too great.Her phone suddenly rang. Mable looked at it and saw that it was from Rahman.“Hello?”Mable answered the call, her voice lacking energy. “What’s going on, Rahman?”There was no sound from the phone.Mable frowned. “Rahman?”Then, a cold voice sounded. “It’s me, Mable.”Mable was stunned.It was Blair!Mable’s eyes teared up at the familiar voice.It had only been a week. Why did it feel like she had gone through so much?Overwhelming pain and sadness washed over her.She quickly composed herself and suppressed her surging emotions, asking, “Why is Rahman’s pho
“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
