Blair took Mable to East Hills, where Tracey lived. Mable got out of the car and saw Spike standing on the windowsill on the second floor. Her breath stifled as she froze. “Spike!” With no time to lose, Mable flung Blair’s arm away and rushed into the villa. Meanwhile, Spike, who had been at a standstill on the windowsill for more than half an hour, heard his mother’s voice. His wary eyes lit up. Here came his mother. He looked down and saw his mother running toward him. It was great that his mother was okay. Spike sniffled and shouted silently, “Mommy!“Mommy!” Just when Spike was looking down, Amos rushed forward inside the room and held tightly onto the boy to pull him off the windowsill. The process only took mere seconds, but Mable broke out in a cold sweat. “Spike!” Startled, Mable ran into the house. “Spike!” Spike heard his mother calling. He broke free from Amos and ran out. Finally, he saw his mother coming up the corridor. Mable hugged Spik
Blair stared at the little guy passed out in Mable’s arms. He loosened his tie irritably, feeling worried about the child. “If anything happens to my son, I will make you pay, Blair!” Mable threatened Blair before carrying Spike away. Blair cursed under his breath and turned to Tracey and Amos, who were in a daze. “What are you standing there for? Bring the car around.” Snapping out of her trace, Tracey went after Mable. Blair kicked the coffee table, trying his best not to lose control of his emotions. A while later, he followed them out. … Tracey drove Mable and Spike to the nearest hospital. The ER doctor examined Spike and concluded he collapsed from exhaustion after a day without food and water.Spike was healthy otherwise. He would be put under an IV drip and needed two days of bed rest to recover. Worried, Mable checked Spike’s pulse and confirmed he was fine. Tracey hung her head low in guilt as she looked at Spike lying in bed. “I’m sorry, Mabes. He was un
The household staff picked up the phone from the floor and handed it to Olivia. “Ms. Page, your phone is ringing.” Olivia pinched Nicki and pushed her away before grabbing the phone. When she saw who was calling, she took her phone and went upstairs right away. “Let me look at you, Nicki. Are you alright?” Heartbroken, a member of the household staff went over to pick Nicki up from the ground. She looked at the child’s arm, which was covered in bruises from all the pinching. “How can your mother be so cruel?” The household staff said as her eyes welled up. Nick rolled down the sleeve to hide her bruises before saying meekly, “I’m okay.” She was used to it anyway. The household staff sighed to herself. The young child was sensible that it broke her heart. … Olivia took her phone to her room before taking the call. “Hello, sir.” “Did Mable return alone?” Anthony’s voice came on the phone. Olivia frowned. “I only saw her in Royal View Villa today.” “Really?
Looking at her son’s pale face, Mable suddenly regretted bringing him to Dorland. Although the days were boring at the castle, at least Spike was safe from danger. Tracey patted Mable’s shoulder and offered comfort. “Don’t worry, Mabes. The doctor said Spike will be okay.” Mable nodded without a word. It was nearly midnight after all the fuss. By then, Spike had received his IV treatment. Tracey stayed with Mable the whole time. She could tell that Mable cared a lot about Spike. Nevertheless, Tracey could not believe Spike was Mable’s son. She had never heard Mable talk about her son before. Tracey looked at Mable, tempted to ask her about Spike a few times. However, with Mable preoccupied with her son, she felt it was not the time. After much thought, Tracey changed the subject and asked, “Where have you been in the last six months, Mabes?” Mable let out a wry smile. “Nowhere. I was sick, and I focused on my recovery.” “Sick?” Struck by a thought, Tracey glance
Mable approached Blair. Her eyes were cold, carrying no other emotions. “Blair, Spike means the world to me. If you ever harm him, I will make you pay.” Spike was her only family left. Even if it required some sacrifice, she would protect Spike.Blair side-eyed Mable, his dark eyes gloomy. “He means the world to you?” Ha. It was only now Blair realized Spike meant a lot to Mable. Blair clutched Mable’s chin and said, “Who are Spike’s parents, Mable?” He’s mine. “Spike is my son.” Faced with Blair’s question, Mable did not think twice to answer. He would have found out sooner or later. She never intended to hide the fact from anybody. Blair pulled a long face and tightened his grip. “Yours?” She mentioned that Spike was a lost child she met at Fasier. She thought the boy was cute, so she took a photo with him. Blair remembered Mable falling asleep from staring at Spike’s photo at night. At the time, he thought it was strange why she adored the child. Now,
No one would dare bring Blair such pain. Mable pried open from Blair’s grasp and took a step back. Her back was against a cold tree bark. There was no telling who was playing whom. Blair said he loved Mable. However, he had put her in danger one too many times for Olivia’s sake. Mable was weary. She looked at Blair and smiled aloofly. “If you don’t want to be played, you should get away from me.” He had saved her twice, even injuring himself badly to get the Ice Jade Flower for her. However, Blair cost her a grandfather and a child. He also participated in the horrible attack five years ago. It was a messy and complex relationship. Mable was too drained to keep up with him anymore. Maybe it would be good for both of them if they let go of each other. Mable stared at Blair’s defined face. “We can just drop this feud between us, Blair. I don’t want to see you again.” She would put her grandfather’s death on Luke. “Drop it?” Blair stared at Mable, looking like he h
Blair knew the passcode to Mable’s apartment. He did not just barge in, concerned he might startle them if the door opened without warning. To his surprise, Spike slammed the door in his face when he opened the door to him. The door nearly bumped into his nose. The brat needed to be put in his place. Blair punched the code angrily and opened the door. Mable’s heart sank when she saw Blair. She stood in front of Spike in defense. “What are you doing here, Blair?” That was careless of her. It slipped her mind to change the passcode to the entrance. Spike popped his head out from behind his mother and glared at the man with hostility. Blair stared at Mable. “Go with me to the hospital.” Mable was dumbfounded. As the reason why he left in a hurry last night hit her, she smirked. She shuffled Spike’s hair and said, “Take a nap in the bedroom, darling. I’ll be with you in a second.” ‘Mommy.’Spike took his mother’s hand, his clear eyes filled with worry. “Don’t wor
“That’s right.” Mable scoffed as she glanced at her arm in his grip. “Is that the attitude you show when you beg, Master Blair?” Blair released Mable’s arm. “Name your price to give Olivia blood.” For as long as Blair lived, he had never once pleaded humbly. Mable flexed her squeezed wrist and let out a wry smile. “How generous of you, Master Blair.” She had already known the lengths he would go to save Olivia. Mable clapped and crossed her legs leisurely. “I can consider giving her blood, but on the condition that I get the northern suburb project.” “It’s yours.” Jefferson Enterprise won the northern suburb project anyway. He would give the project back to her if she wanted it. Amos looked at Blair in shock. Seeing that Blair agreed without hesitation, Mable was hurt but kept a smile on her face. “Those are just empty words. I need it in black and white and notarized to make it count.” Blair instructed Amos to make a contract right away. “Master Blair—” Amo
