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
“Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to your grandfather.”The person Mable cared about the most was also someone he cared about.Mable frowned. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”Rory leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs, saying in a lazy tone, “You were unconscious at the time. You couldn’t do anything even if I told you.”Mable looked at Adam. “The person Blair wants is me. I’ll go to Richworth.”Rory looked at her coldly and reprimanded her, “I’m guessing that Blair must think the confidential information about X was stolen by you and Zoe. He captured your grandfather to lure you out. Going to him is seeking your own death!”Adam nodded in agreement. “Rorr is right. It’s better if I go. Don’t worry, Mable. I’ll definitely save your grandfather.”“No, I’m going!”Mable insisted, her tone serious.She could not gamble on her grandfather’s life.Since Blair dared to say what he did, he would not allow them to rescue them easily. Even if Adam personally stepped in
Blair got into the car and looked at Mable, standing to the side without moving. He said in a cold tone, “You have till the count of three.”Mable pursed her lips but got into the car before Blair could count to three.“Drive!” He instructed the driver.The car sped away, racing down the road. Mable held her stomach, feeling motion sickness.Blair saw her pale face and how her hands were clenched tightly over her lap.He sneered and said mockingly, “Did you rush back here for your grandfather or Rahman?”Mable met his gaze. “If you have a grudge, come after me. Don’t harm my grandpa or Rahman.”Blair narrowed his eyes as his gaze turned colder. “Who else do you care about besides your grandpa and Rahman?”“You—”Blair interrupted her with a sneer. “Oh, I forgot. You still have Rory in your heart. After all, he’s your most beloved. You’ve gone to great lengths to help him steal my company’s secrets. Rory must be touched by all that you’ve done for him.”Blair suppressed his bu
“Mable, if you want your grandfather to be safe, you’d better be obedient!”After saying that, Blair dragged Mable into the elevator.The elevator went up and stopped at the third floor.Blair walked quickly, gripping Mable’s wrist so hard that she almost stumbled.He pulled her into an examination room, pressed her down on a chair, and said to the nurse, “Draw her blood!”Mable forcefully shook Blair’s hand away. “What do you want?”Blair pressed down on her shoulders to prevent her from getting up. “Donate 300ml of blood, or I’ll draw your grandpa’s blood. It’s your choice.”Mable froze. Blair threatened her to come back just so he could draw her blood?He looked at the time and repeated to the nurse, “Draw her blood!”The nurse moved quickly. Before Mable could react, a tourniquet was tied around her arm.The needle punctured her vein, and her dark red blood slowly flowed into a bag.As the blood trickled out, Mable’s already pale face became even paler.She leaned again
Miscarriage?Blair stared at Mable. His gaze moved to her belly in disbelief.He spoke with a trembling voice, “She’s… pregnant?”The doctor was stunned that Blair did not know about Mable’s pregnancy.The doctor nodded. “Yes.”“Are you sure she’s pregnant?”Blair confirmed with the doctor again.That was because Mable told Blair she had been seriously injured before and could not get pregnant.So, how did she get pregnant?“I’m sure,” the doctor said certainly. “She’s eight and a half weeks pregnant.”Blair stared at Mable. His heart was pounding, and his eyes filled with surprise and joy.He stretched out his hand and gently placed his palm on Mable’s belly, afraid of waking her. He was pleasantly surprised.Eight and a half weeks was two months ago, when Mable and Blair were still on good terms.Blair suddenly remembered that Mable had been complaining about an upset stomach and nausea a while back. Moreover, she was particularly lethargic. Mable said it was gastroenter
Blair glared at Kyle. “What about you? If you had just been ruthless to Zoe from the beginning, would she have had the opportunity to steal our company secrets?”Kyle’s eyes darkened. He clenched his fists and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t go easy on her once I catch her!”Blair was sitting on the edge of the sofa, holding a cigarette between his fingers. A puff of smoke covered his face. “Only the Ice Jade Flower can detoxify Liv’s poison. Now, I need Mable’s blood as an antidote.”Mable was shocked. She felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.She was wondering why Blair wanted her blood when she had the most common type A blood that could be found in any hospital’s blood bank. It turned out that it was because of Liv.Everything he did was for Liv.Blair was willing to exchange Mable’s life for news about Liv. To save Liv, Blair also wanted Mable to give Liv blood.It did not matter to Blair that Mable could die.Mable leaned against the wall, heartbroken and unable to bre
At the mention of Zoe, Kyle’s face turned cold. His eyes filled with anger.“I’ve sent people to keep an eye on Secret, but there’s no news yet.”Kyle did not believe Zoe could hide in Secret for the rest of her life.Anyway, he had plenty of time and patience.Solomon smiled sinisterly and said, “I have a way to get Zoe to show up.”Kyle raised his eyebrows and looked at him. “What is it?”Solomon lowered his voice and said secretly, “If you want the fish to take the bait, you must get a bait she’s interested in. Such as…”With that said, Solomon tipped his head in the direction of Royal View Villa.Kyle immediately understood what he meant. “Mable?”Solomon nodded.Since Zoe had such a good relationship with Mable, she would not sit idly by if she learned that Mable was in trouble.Kyle thought about it for a moment and formulated a plan.......After Kyle and Solomon left, Blair went through some documents in the study and called Tracey, asking her to come back as soon
“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
