In the morning, Grace sent Nicki to preschool. Just as they got out of the car and were about to cross the road, a van suddenly rushed into the sidewalk, hitting Nicki.Grace anxiously waited outside the operating room. She was also injured, but not severely. Nicki’s condition was much more serious.If anything happened to Nicki, how would she explain this to Master Blair?“Aunt Grace!”Blair and Mable rushed over to the hospital where Nicki was undergoing surgery after receiving the call from Grace,“Master Blair, Madam!” Grace hurried over when she saw Blair and Mable arrive.Blair looked at the bloodstains on Grace’s clothes and frowned tightly. “How is Nicki?”Although she was not his biological daughter, she had been calling him ‘daddy’ for almost half a year. Blair could not help but feel concerned when he heard of her accident.Grace wiped her tears and blamed herself. “She’s still in surgery. Master Blair, it was my fault. I didn’t protect Nicki. I deserve to die!”Mab
Solomon said, “He’s with me. I’m interrogating him to find out who’s behind this.”“Send some people to find Olivia. I want to see her dead or alive!”“Got it.”After Blair hung up the phone, Mable asked with a frown, “Olivia is missing?”Blair nodded and told her what Solomon told him earlier.“Someone wanted to kill Olivia!”Mable thought for a moment and asked, “Do you think she escaped on her own, someone rescued her, or she was silenced?”Blair said, “She most likely wasn’t silenced.”According to Solomon, Olivia had fainted. If someone had silenced her, they would not have gone through the trouble of hiding her body.Thus, it was more likely that she either escaped on her own or had someone rescue her.Blair was not particularly interested. As long as Olivia was still in Richworth, he would be able to find her.What he was interested in was who the person behind Olivia was!If their motive was just to get her to impersonate Liv, they would not go to such lengths to ha
The man looked at the woman curled up on the bed, his imposing face revealing a hint of disdain. “How can someone so timid be worthy of being a descendant of the Mullers!”Olivia looked at the man in fear and shook her head, not understanding what he meant.The man raised his hand and instructed the female bodyguard behind him, “Take off her clothes!”Olivia paled and trembled with the blanket wrapped around her. “No! What are you trying to do?”The female bodyguard stepped forward and said respectfully, “Calm down, Miss. We just want to see the totem on your back. We won’t do anything inappropriate.”“T...Totem?”There was no totem on her back. It was clearly a tattoo.The bodyguard nodded, removed Olivia’s shirt, and used the blanket to cover her front.Olivia did not dare to resist, nor did she have the ability to. She could only shiver while holding the blanket, exposing her back.The man stared at the tattoo on her back, and his eyes narrowed slightly. A coldness crept in
There were too many mythical beasts. Blair did not know what this one was.“Jarius!”Blair raised an eyebrow. He had heard of that beast before.The legends described Jarius as having a strong and brave personality, skilled in combat, and fond of bloodshed and killing.This fierce mythical beast was not very suitable to be worn around the neck due to its intense hostility.Blair looked at the pendant that still carried some lingering warmth and asked, “What does this pendant symbolize?”He knew this pendant was important to Mable.Mable said, “It’s a token of Secret.”Blair froze. “It is?”“I never reveal my true appearance in Secret, so not many people have seen my face. To those under me, seeing Jarius is like seeing me, the second boss of Secret.”“So, anyone holding it can command Secret?”Mable nodded. “Yes. It can order anyone except Rory.”Mable smiled when she remembered how she mistakenly took this pendant as a wedding gift for him when she lost her memory. “Back t
“Anthony?”Mable looked at Blair in disbelief. “What does he have to do with Joseph?”Blair looked at her and reminded her, “You forgot that Anthony has another identity.”Mable immediately caught on. “Anthony is the boss of Black C. Joseph... Is he related to Black C?”Blair nodded. “I’ve investigated Black C’s background and found that half their arms smuggling channels are under the jurisdiction of Monafett’s military. Moreover, some of these places are directly controlled by members of the royal family.”Mable understood now. “In other words, Joseph and Anthony are on the same side.”It was no wonder Black C thrived in Monafett through smuggling. He had support from a member of the royal family.Mable looked at Blair and pondered, “But why would Anthony want to harm Olivia?”Blair said, “There’s only one reason that makes sense.”Mable raised her brows. “Olivia is working for Anthony?”Blair nodded.After Fowler Enterprise went bankrupt, Anthony left Dorland. Blair found
After all, the other party was a royal prince. Any slight mistake could implicate the whole family, so he had to consider it carefully.“Okay, call me anytime once you’ve decided.”Mable hung up the phone and heard Blair’s voice behind her. “What were you discussing with Rahman?”He came in and overheard Mable telling Rahman something about mutual assistance.Mable turned to look at him and said, “I want him to help take down Joseph so that Anthony will have one less powerful ally.”Blair took Mable to the sofa and took out ointment to apply to her hand while saying, “Joseph’s identity is too sensitive. It’s best not to have a direct conflict with him unless absolutely necessary.”Mable nodded. “I have to admit that Anthony found himself a powerful backer. If Joseph becomes the king of Monafett in the future, his influence will be even greater.”Blair disagreed. “The current situation in Monafett isn’t as calm as it appears on the surface. The current king has two sons and a dau
After narrowly escaping a life-threatening situation, Nicki spent three days in the ICU. Then, Blair transferred her to a private hospital under his name in a room next to Spike’s.In the ward, Nicki had just regained consciousness when a doctor examined her by her bedside.“Master Blair, the patient’s condition is mostly stable now. With proper treatment, the injuries on her legs will heal without affecting her ability to walk in the future. However...”As the doctor spoke, he looked at Nicki lying on the bed and lamented, “Her facial injuries are quite deep and are likely to leave scars.”Appearances were crucial to young girls. Having her face disfigured at such a young age...Nicki lay on the bed and seemed to understand what the doctor said. She tried to touch her face.Mable pressed her hand down to prevent her and reassured her, “It’s okay. When you grow up a bit more, you can undergo cosmetic surgery to remove the scars on your face.”Nicki blinked and looked at Mable ti
At her words, Blair and Mable recalled what she meant.Mable did not expect Nicki to remember something that happened so long ago and even apologize to her about it.It seemed like the child’s thoughts were not malicious. She was just not properly guided.“It’s okay. It’s all in the past. I forgive you,” Mable said.If not for Olivia’s instigation, Nicki would not have done such a thing. Since she apologized, there was no need to hold a grudge against a child.After comforting Nicki, Blair and Mable left the ward.Mable looked at Blair and said, “I guess Nicki was probably trafficked. Have someone investigate thoroughly and see if we can find her biological parents.”Blair nodded. That was his plan, too, but...“What if we don’t find them?”Mable raised her brows and looked at him. “If we don’t find them, then adopt her as your goddaughter. After all, she’s been calling you Daddy for such a long time. You even chose her name.”Blair frowned and said nothing.Although he did
“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
