Mable got down from the car and looked coldly at the luxurious mansion in front of her. In the two years she was married to Blair, she had only been to the Fowler Residence several times. Every time she came, she was either criticized by Martha or bullied by the Fowlers’ relatives. Everyone knew she was not favored by Blair and was so weak that even the servants bullied her. Once, Martha punished her for pouring tea that was too hot by making her kneel in the garden for the whole afternoon. She fainted due to heat stroke, but everyone ignored her. In the end, it was Tracey who arrived in time to take her to the hospital. Therefore, Mable did not have good memories of the Fowler Residence. Seeing that she was not moving, the maid urged her, “Why are you still standing there? Aren’t you going in?!” As the maid spoke, she reached out to push Mable’s shoulder. Mable grabbed the maid’s hand and slapped her in the face. The maid was dumbfounded. She held her face as she scr
Martha’s smile froze. “Blair doesn’t love you, so how could he possibly want to remarry you?!” “You’ll have to ask him yourself,” Mable answered. Luke stared at Mable leisurely. “Don’t even think about remarrying! I’ll give you three days to leave Richworth. You’re not allowed to appear in front of Blair again for the rest of your life!” “What if I don’t do as you say?” Mable could not stand it when someone was so arrogant toward her. Luke’s gaze turned cold, and he gave off the pressure of a superior. “I’m not discussing this with you—I’m ordering you!” Mable’s eyes were even colder than his. “Mr. Fowler, the last person who dared to talk to me like that has long been buried!” Luke’s face changed. After living most of his life, it was the first time someone had the nerve to talk to him in this manner. ‘Ha! ‘A woman who doesn’t know her place!’ Luke raised his hand without saying a word. Soon, six bodyguards came in a line and surrounded Mable. Martha elegantly to
Blair caressed Mable’s head. “Don’t underestimate my family.” The Fowlers were not easy to deal with. In particular, Luke. Mable pouted and did not say anything. She had heard a thing or two about the Fowlers. It was said that Luke grew up in bad health, so he was not valued despite being the eldest son. On the other hand, his two younger brothers were very smart and were the focus of the family since they were young. Back then, his brothers stirred up a storm fighting to be in charge of the family. Unexpectedly, Luke, who was known to the public as a useless and sickly child, ended up as the head of the family. What was even more surprising was the first thing he did after taking over the family was deal with his brothers… Rahman was the one who told Mable about these secrets. He wanted her to stay away from the Fowlers. After all, Blair was Luke’s son. He was cunning and most likely just as ruthless as his father. … Before Blair and Mable entered the house of the
It would make things difficult if Kyle was indeed carrying the A117 reagent. Mable initially thought to steal it from Blair when he let his guard down. Now that it was in Kyle’s possession, it would be hard for her to steal it. It seemed she would need a helper. After some thought, she sent an email to Zoe. She received a reply very quickly. [Ok.] Mable was relieved. She had not logged into her email for a long time. Seeing that there were quite a lot of emails in her inbox, she clicked through and read them. One of them caught her attention. The email was from Doctors Without Borders, whom she had worked with before. They wanted her help to operate on a patient. After some thought, Mable gave them her phone number. Since she was going to be in Richworth for a while anyway, it would be good to find something to do. It was not long before she received a call from the other party. … The next day. The person Mable had made an appointment with was Ethan Mill
“This Friday,” Ethan answered. Mable nodded. “Email me a copy of the case. I’ll be the main surgeon for the operation.” Ethan was grateful. “Professor Jefferson, thank you on behalf of the patient.” He had a lot of respect for Mable, his mentor and friend. Since she would be in charge of the surgery, he was relieved. Mable smiled faintly. “There’s no need to thank me. I’ll be collecting a consultation fee, after all.” Once they were done discussing the matter, Ethan treated Mable to a simple meal. Following that, Mable returned to the Royal View Villa. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Blair sitting on the living room sofa. “You’re back.” ‘Didn’t he say he’s going to be working late today?’ Blair looked up and stared gloomily at her delicate features. “Where did you go?” “I went to meet a friend,” Mable casually answered. “A guy?” Mable raised her eyebrow. “Mm.” Blair lifted his hand. “Come here!” Mable was sharp to notice that his mood was not q
Mable’s heart hurt. It hurt so much that she was about to suffocate. She ran out of the villa and fell to the ground within two minutes. The excruciating pain was so unbearable that she wanted to die. All of a sudden, it was pouring with lightning and thunder. Mable curled up and knelt on the ground. The immense pain from her heart made her spasm uncontrollably. The thing in her blood must be acting up again! This time, it was more vicious and painful than before. It was an indescribable pain that spread bit by bit from her heart, stimulating every nerve, every cell, and every inch of her skin. It was even more unbearable than being skinned or having her bones chipped. Mable wanted to call for help but realized she had run out without her phone. There was a rumble in the sky. In an instant, it started raining even heavier. The pain continued intensifying… However, her consciousness was clear. This was the poison’s feature. The more painful it was, the more
“...Okay,” Ethan responded. After getting his reply, Mable’s hands hung powerlessly. She had used up all her strength to utter those words. Ethan was about to go downstairs when the bedroom door was pushed open. Next, Blair walked in with a cold aura. It was raining, and Mable did not have her phone with her. He chased after her as he was worried about her. Afterward, he saw a man carrying her into the car. It was the same man she met in the afternoon. Blair suppressed his urge to punch Ethan. He looked past him and fixed his gaze on Mable lying on the bed. She was drenched, her face was pale, and she was trembling as if she was enduring great pain. “Mable!” Seeing Mable in such a state, Blair cast his anger aside and rushed over. “Mable! Mable!” “Mmph!” Mable twitched as soon as Blair gripped her hand. ‘It hurts so much!’ “Master Blair, you—” Ethan tried to step forward to stop Blair but was pushed away. “Ethan Miller, how dare you touch her?!” Etha
When Mable woke up, it was the next morning. She sat up to look at the time. It was 9:30 am. Only ten hours had passed since the poison acted up last night. Every time it happened in the past, even after taking sedatives, the excruciating pain would torment her for a whole day.Only after that would the pain slowly decrease until it disappeared completely. How did it get better so quickly this time? ‘It was probably because the concentration of the sedative Ethan used last night was relatively high.’However, Mable did not think much about it. She went to the bathroom to wash up and saw that her eyes had returned to their normal color. She was relieved. It seemed she got through it this time. When she went downstairs for breakfast, Aunt Grace was the only one in the living room. It was there Mable heard from her that Blair looked after her all night last night. She only remembered that he carried her into the bathroom to soak in a hot bath. He also kissed her, but s
“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
