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
If she wanted to kill him, it would not be too late to do it now!Mable stared at the man in front of her. He was less than two centimeters away, and she could even feel his breath.She glared at him without showing any weakness. “Do you think I wouldn’t dare?”Blair narrowed his eyes dangerously and clenched his jaw but did not speak.She would dare.Of course, she would dare!Her ruthlessness was something he had witnessed.The atmosphere in the hospital room gradually became tense.Amid the standoff, Mable suddenly laughed and turned to look out the window.“Even if I could, I’m afraid I don’t have the ability now.”Her voice was calm and low.“You’ve seen for yourself. My body is not what it used to be. I can’t defeat you, let alone harm you.”Blair’s heart clenched as he looked at her hand.After another moment of silence, he spoke, “Why did Aust kidnap you?”Mable laughed at his question and looked at him as if she had heard a joke. “Why did he kidnap me? Why do you
Mable looked at Tracey gratefully. “Thank you, Tracey.”Her injuries would require at least two days of rest. During these two days, she would have to rely on Tracey to help take care of Spike.Tracey sat down beside Mable with a smile. “Don’t be a stranger.”Spike still needed another round of IV infusion. So, he did not stay in his mother’s ward for too long and was taken away by Tracey.In the afternoon, his test results were out.Mable looked at the thick stack of medical reports and furrowed her brows. Then, she suddenly paled when she saw the diagnosis on the report.Spike had septicemia!Mable looked at the doctor in disbelief. “Doctor, there must be a mistake. My son...”Although Mable had anticipated the worst-case scenario when checking Spike’s pulse, she could not believe it when it was confirmed.The doctor nodded with a serious expression. “Ms. Jefferson, every medical examination was conducted meticulously. There is no mistake.“However, the good news is that yo
In the morning, Blair returned to the office after leaving the hospital.There were too many suspicious aspects to last year’s incident involving Mable and Olivia’s kidnapping. He needed to investigate thoroughly.Currently, it seemed the breakthrough point lay in Olivia. However, the people sent by Solomon to keep an eye on her had not found anything yet.In the afternoon, Blair received a call from the hospital.He was the one who admitted Spike into the hospital, so the attending physician updated him now that the results were out.His heart clenched when he learned that Spike had septicemia.For a moment, he felt worried.After hanging up the phone, he sat in his office, staring at the files on his computer screen with glimmering eyes.He lit a cigarette. However, just as he was about to take a drag, he remembered something and stopped.When the cigarette had burned to a stub, he extinguished it and grabbed his coat....In the hospital.Mable’s face turned cold as she
Anthony’s eyes flickered. He liked how headstrong Mable was.Even though she was injured and pale, her aura remained undiminished.“I told you, I’m just checking up on you.”“I don’t need it!”As soon as Mable spoke, the room door pushed open.Blair entered and saw Mable sitting on the bed, looking up, and Anthony standing right in front of her, bending down. They were very close to each other.He clenched the item in his hand tightly and exuded a cold aura.Anthony glanced at Blair and laughed. “Oh, speak of the devil. You can ask him now.”Mable looked at Blair and glanced at what he was holding.A dessert box.Anthony greeted him with a smile. “Long time no see, Blair.”They had not seen each other for nearly half a year.Blair walked in, his dark eyes freezing. “When did you two become so friendly?”Mable stared at him and sneered, saying deliberately, “We’ve always been close.”She knew that Blair did not like Anthony, so she intentionally wanted to make things diffi
