Faced with Blair’s questioning, Olivia felt chills. Ultimately, Blair found out. “Blair, I-I…” Olivia could not string a full sentence. Blair could tell from the look on her face that his guess was right. No mother in their right mind would hurt their child and blame it on someone else. Blair glared at Olivia. “Nicki is your daughter. How can you hurt her?” Olivia sank to the ground in regret. If she had known, she would not have been reckless to pull the stunt. Nicki talked about meeting Mable when she came home yesterday, so Olivia had some thoughts of her own.Although Blair had no feelings for Olivia, he had bonded with his supposed daughter, Nicki. Blair would not forgive Mable if he thought Mable hurt Nicki. Hence, Olivia pushed, kicked, and taught Nicki what to say to Blair. “I-I’m sorry, Blair. I let my emotions get to my head. I just hate Mable so much. She kidnapped me before and nearly killed me, so I wanted my revenge.” Blair looked at Olivia coldl
“Mabes isn’t awake, Blair. It’s Spike. The doctor came by and said he was really emotional when he woke up. He trashed the ward…” … Spike and Mable were in the same hospital but on separate floors. It was a nightmare in the ward for children. The blanket, pillow, cup, slipper, and anything and everything Spike could pick up became his weapon. The doctors and nurses stood at the door, not having the courage to go near him as they tried to talk some sense into Spike. Once Spike smashed everything he could, he jumped out of the bed barefooted and ran straight to the window. Tracey ran over, only to see Spike climbing up the windowsill. The sight terrified her. “Don’t do anything silly, Spike!” It was clear tensions were running high, judging by Spike’s flushed face. Tracey softened her tone. “Do you still remember me? I’m your mother’s best friend. We had dinner together two days ago.” Spike stared at Tracey and nodded. He mouthed, “Where’s my mom?” Feeling dilemma
Mable was severely wounded. There was no telling when she would regain consciousness. She would not be able to take the video call request from Spike. Tracey advised, “Your mom went to take care of something important, Spike. We would be disturbing her if we called her now. Maybe we can try later.” She had to hold it off as long as she could. Spike wrote on the paper, “Where did she go?” Thinking on her feet, Tracey replied, “Your mom went to Ashdale.” Spike pursed his lips without a word. Tracey was secretly relieved, believing she had fooled the kid. Blair came back to the hospital. After hearing from Arthur that Tracey had calmed Spike down, he did not visit Spike. Instead, he went to Mable’s ward. The doctor said that she would probably regain consciousness tomorrow. Sitting by her bed, Blair carefully took Mable’s hand and caressed the scar on her wrist. His face revealed no emotion. Soon, night befell. As the door to the ward opened, Tracey tiptoed in. “Is
After much thought, Spike wrote on the paper, “Aust.” On the day Rory and the others brought a badly injured Mable back to the castle, Spike knew the person who hurt her was Aust. Rory told him so. Blair looked at the name Spike wrote, and his hands on his lap balled up. So, it was Aust. Now that Spike answered his question, he pointed at his earlier question, demanding Blair to answer. “Your mother’s old illness has relapsed, and she is in a coma.”Blair did not mention anything about Mable getting hurt. The truth was, he was too embarrassed to bring it up. He was the one who caused Mable's injuries and unconsciousness.Hearing that his mother had an illness relapse and was unconscious, Spike became nervous. He lifted the covers and wanted to get out of bed to find his mother. “Hold it right there.” Blair took Spike’s hand and glanced at the food on the table. “Be good and eat your dinner. Then, I’ll take you to your mom.” Gritting his teeth, Spike pulled away
An investigation led Blair to Aust’s lair in Hilary Island, but Blair passed out on his way there. By the time he got out of the coma, six months passed. Solomon said Hilary Island was in ruin when he and Kyle rushed there. Mable and Aust were nowhere to be found. They later searched other places, but there was still no sign of Mable. After Olivia mentioned that her abductor was Mable, they suspected they had gotten the wrong information and that Aust had never kidnapped Mable. Everything was part of Mable’s great escape plan. If Mable had orchestrated the lie, she would not have sustained such injuries. Now, it seemed their intel was right all along. Aust captured Mable, but they arrived on the scene too late to save her. On the other end, Solomon was shocked. “Did he really?“Didn’t Olivia say Mable kidnapped her? How did Aust get involved?” Blair clenched his phone grimacingly. “Olivia lied.” Between Olivia and Mable, he chose to trust the latter. Blair had no tr
Tracey patted Spike’s shoulder and apologized in an intentional sobbing voice, “Spike, I want to apologize. I’m so sorry. Please forgive me.” Finally, Spike rolled over and looked at her. He should let bygones be bygones as Tracey was his mother’s good friend. Tracey’s eyes lit up. “Do you forgive me?” Spike sat up and looked at Tracey like an adult. He pointed at his bare wrist. His smartwatch was missing. Tracey got the message. “You must be looking for your smartwatch. The doctor removed it during a check-up. Hang on. I’ll go and ask to see where it is.” She ran out and soon returned with his watch. “This must be it. Here you go.” Spike took the watch and nodded. Tracey propped her hands under her chin. “I hope you’re not angry with me anymore, Spike.” Spike nodded and typed on his smartwatch. “I forgive you.” Tracey was relieved. “You’re the best, Spike. Love you.” She gestured a heart shape. Spike typed, “Goodnight.” “Alright. Goodnight.” Struck by
Tracey was ready to leave after her discussion with Amos. She turned around to find Arthur staring at them from not too far away. “You’re here, Arthur.” Amos had seen him, too. Snapping out of his thoughts, Arthur walked over. “You should go back and rest. I’ll be on duty tonight.” Since Amos had not slept a wink since last night, Arthur was there to relieve him. Arthur nodded. “Alright. Master Blair is watching over Ms. Jefferson inside. I don’t think he needs anything for now. You can have a nap in the room next door.” “Sure.” Tracey looked at Arthur, clearly having something on her mind. She turned to Amos. “We can go together. I can drop you since I’m going the same way.” Arthur stood in the hallway and watched as the pair walked to the elevator. Arthur felt some type of way. He wondered if Tracey and Amos were together. … Meanwhile, once Tracey left the children’s ward, Spike was not in a hurry to fall asleep. He grabbed his smartwatch and sent a text messa
The Mullers were the stepping stone Rory needed to enter the Dorland market, so he needed to beat Blair to close a deal. …Mable woke up first thing in the morning. She felt sore all over, especially her arms, feeling as if someone hammered her joints. She broke out in a cold sweat. “You’re up, Mabes.” Blair had been by her side for a whole day. Seeing that she regained consciousness, Blair called the doctors over right away. It did not take long for the doctors to arrive. Before they could perform any examination on her, Mable said weakly, “Give me a shot for the pain.” The relapse and new injuries were pushing her pain threshold. “Where does it hurt, Mabes?” Blair looked worried. “Everywhere.” Feeling for her, Blair could not breathe. Mable closed her eyes and took a moment to ease the pain. She then looked at him coldly. “Where’s my son?” “He’s fine. I’ll take him to see you in a bit.” Mable closed her eyes without a word. The doctor did not take long to g
