Kyle did not go home after getting off the plane. He went straight to the company to find Blair and inform him about Rahman coming to Richworth to pick Mable up.Mable was the second boss of Secret. If they could control her, Secret would no longer be a threat.Thus, Kyle would not let her leave easily.Blair had not seen Mable after leaving the hospital that night. This time, when he heard from Kyle that Rahman was here to take her away, he immediately went to the hospital.He did not find her in her room, so he guessed that she was in Spike’s room.Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he heard Rahman’s voice.“...Once the surgery for Spike is successful, we’ll return to Fasier together.”“Yeah, I don’t want to stay in Dorland any longer.”Blair’s expression darkened instantly at her words. His eyes were darker than the night itself, exuding a chilling iciness.He had just managed to drive Anthony away, and now Rahman was here. There was no end to them!“Blair, why
She looked quite haggard these days and had lost weight.Mable stopped and looked at Blair, saying word by word, “Seeing you makes me want to puke. I can’t eat.”When she saw him, she could not help but remember all the words he had said to her.Every promise he made was now a heart-piercing lie.She was mentally and physically exhausted and did not want to relieve those painful memories.She once loved him, but now, all that love had transformed into hate!Blair’s gaze locked on Mable’s face, and an icy chill instantly emerged in his eyes. “Is that so? Am I that disgusting to you?”Mable leaned against the corridor with her arms crossed and said with a regretful tone, “If only I stabbed you to death that time!”Mable regretted it.She regretted that she was not ruthless enough to end his life.Blair approached her, his gaze burning. “I told you, it’s not too late to act now.”Mable shook her head, expressionless as ever. “I’m not in the mood now. I just want to cure Spike a
Spike woke up in the afternoon. His fever subsided, and he looked slightly better.In the evening, Rahman visited them for dinner.Mable fed Spike and started eating herself.“What is Zoe doing in Richworth this time?” She asked casually.Rahman shook his head. “I’m not sure. She said she had a mission.”Mable frowned. A mission?It was probably related to X, but she did not have the energy to deal with those matters now.After dinner, a doctor came to examine Spike and prescribed medicine for the following day.Spike was not as afraid of shots and medications as other children because it had been a part of his life. Since he could remember, he had taken medication, received shots, and had drawn blood.He preferred IV fluids over bitter medicine.Mable could not sleep at night. She could not stop thinking about whether they would find a matching hematopoietic stem cell for Spike.However, before the matching results were out, a new issue arose.When Mable woke up early, she
Blair stared at the woman under him. The icy aura around him made others shudder. ‘I want to cut off all her retreat. I want her to rely on me forever. I want to break her legs so she can never escape. I even want to imprison her forever so she can only look at me and belong to me…’Under the dim light, a glimmer gradually appeared in Blair’s hollow eyes.‘I’m despicable and cruel, but I don’t dare to...I’m afraid she’ll suffer! I’m afraid she’ll hate me. I’m afraid…’She would never know how terrified he was of her leaving and disappearing.In his blurry vision, a familiar face appeared in front of her. Blair stared at her, and his body could not help but tremble.“Mabes...”A cold tear fell on Mable like a heavyweight crashing into her heart.Mable stared at him in disbelief. Was he... crying?The hands squeezing her throat suddenly loosened. Before Mable could breathe again, his hands landed on her face.“Paul was right. Hallucinations really do happen...”Then, the ma
Mable was fine.The blood on her face and neck were from Blair.He fought barehanded at the boxing arena all night yesterday and injured his hands. Since he did not treat them, they were covered in blood.After Mable was sent to the hospital, the doctor examined her and said she only fainted due to agitation and would wake up shortly.In the hospital director’s office.Blair was still wearing his bloody clothes, but his hands had been bandaged. He sat motionless in the chair, exuding a cold aura.“Who told you to stop Spike’s treatment?”The director stood before him, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Nervously, he replied, “Master Blair, it was an order from Mr. Goodman.”Kyle was a shareholder of the hospital and also one of the owners.Blair narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with coldness. “Kyle Goodman.”As soon as he spoke, the door pushed open.Kyle walked in and glanced at his hand. “You’re hurt?”Blair glared at him, his eyes devoid of warmth. “Were you the one w
“Don’t you dare, Zoe!”Kyle glared at Zoe fiercely, searching for an opportunity to take the gun from her.Blair sat in the chair as if he could not sense the danger approaching. He stared at her with cold eyes. “If you kill me, you won’t leave this place alive.”“I did want to kill you, but I suddenly changed my mind.”Earlier, she stood at the door and overheard Blair and Kyle’s conversation.Regardless of Blair’s reason, he was protecting Mable.Thus, it seemed he still had feelings for Mable, even if it was just a modicum.Zoe lowered the gun in her hand and showed him a cold smile. “Not only will I not kill you, but I’ll also tell you two facts.”Blair raised his brows, his expression dark. “What do you want to say?”Zoe looked at him. “I’m the one who stole X’s confidential information. Mable had no knowledge of this whatsoever. I deliberately called her to the airport, knocked her out, and took her away to make you believe we were working together.”That was Rory’s ide
“I know!”Blair did not understand why she suddenly brought this up.“Then, did you know that Mable was injured before, and her body isn’t suitable for another pregnancy? However, in order to protect your child, she begged Rory to use medication on her. It was like fighting poison with poison, with only a one-in-ten chance of survival. Although it saved the child, it had serious side effects. At best, it would shorten her life by ten years, and at worst, she might not live more than ten years.”Bam!Blair stood still, feeling as if a thunderbolt had struck his head, causing his whole body to tremble.At best, it would shorten her life by ten years, and at worst, she might not live more than ten years.It turned out she cared about their child that much.Blair instantly realized she had been speaking in a fit of anger when she threatened to take the child’s life.Yes, she had always been like that. When she got angry, she would say anything to make him suffer.However, this tim
Kyle had not seen him since coming back yesterday.Amos said, “Master Blair told him to check on some stuff.”Kyle nodded and thought about what Zoe said about someone sending Blair a message when Mable was kidnapped. He could not help but feel that something was off.With Blair’s feelings for Mable, he would not have ignored such an important message.It seemed there were many doubts in this matter that needed to be thoroughly investigated.Kyle soon left the hospital.Amos stood outside the office, contemplating several times if he should enter and check Blair’s condition. However, he did not dare to.He had to admit that Zoe’s words were incredibly impactful.If they were true, Blair may never forgive himself for the rest of his life.Amos waited outside the office until evening. In the end, he could not help his concern and decided to enter to check on Blair.Just as he was about to push open the door, his phone rang.Amos glanced at it and saw it was from Spike’s attend
“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
