Mable smiled and turned around to reward him with a kiss....After finishing breakfast, Blair accompanied Mable to the hospital.After waiting for half an hour, it was Mable’s turn.She explained her situation to the doctor and showed him the red pattern on her back.The dermatologist was an elderly professor nearing his sixties. He examined it with glasses for a while and frowned. “Miss, I’ve been a doctor for decades, and this is the first time I’ve seen a case like yours. It seems to be capillary dilation, but it’s different from ordinary capillary dilation. Let’s do a CT scan first to check for any subcutaneous bleeding or inflammation.”Mable knew a visual examination was insufficient, and a CT scan would provide a clearer picture.“Okay. Thank you, Doctor.”The doctor issued a form. Blair went to pay and accompanied Mable to the radiology department.The CT scan was done, and the images could be collected after 3 PM.The hospital was not far from Blair’s company, so af
Mable’s CT scan result came out before 2 PM.Blair went to pick up the report and stood alone on the balcony at the end of the hallway to read it.The report stated that the skin on her back was not inflamed, nor were there any blood spots.Blair raised the CT scan to the sunlight to look at the scan of the blood vessels on her back.With just one glance, Blair froze.In an instant, the atmosphere around him turned cold.Amos, standing not far away from him, sensed the change in Master Blair. His heart sank.It was not because the Madam’s condition was not good, was it?Was it possible that the Madam had a terminal illness?Blair stared intently at the CT scan images. His other hand clenched into a fist as his gaze darkened grimly.If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed there was an invisible tattoo on Mable’s back.Moreover, he could not be more familiar with the pattern of the tattoo.It was exactly the same as the one he saw on that night six
Blair stood up. “I understand. Thank you, doctor.”…After leaving the hospital, Blair headed to a famous tattoo parlor in Richworth.“What brings you here, Master Blair?”The boss of the tattoo parlor was named Samson Holt, Solomon’s friend who often frequented his bar. Blair had met him a few times before and considered him an acquaintance.Blair asked, “Who’s the most experienced tattooist in your parlor? I want to ask about something.”“The most experienced?”Samson laughed and said, “Master Blair, the most experienced tattooist in the whole of Croquen is standing right in front of you.”It was him!Samson led Blair upstairs to a private box. “What did you want to ask about, Master Blair?”“Invisible tattoos,” Blair said.Samson raised an eyebrow. “Invisible tattoos?”Although he did not know why Blair was asking, he still explained, “The biggest difference between invisible and regular tattoos is in the ink. Although you can’t see it, it’ll appear when the body’s tempe
When Mable woke up and saw that it was almost 4 PM, she got the shock of her life and hurriedly got up.The curtains in the room were drawn, and the temperature indoors was just right, which made it perfect for sleeping.She clearly remembered setting an alarm for 2:20 PM, though. She checked her phone. It had been turned off.It was most likely Blair’s doing.Mable washed her face before she exited the room. There was nobody in the office, but Arthur was waiting outside when she went out.“Madam, Master Blair has gone to the hospital to pick up your report. He asked you to call him when you woke up,” Arthur informed.“Alright.”Mable returned to the office and called Blair.It rang for a long while before Blair finally picked up.“Blair Fowler, where are you? Why did you turn off my alarm? I only got up just now.”“I didn’t wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly. I’m outside right now. I still have a few things left to do.”“Oh. Arthur said you picked up my report
Blair did not come back for dinner that night.After Mable and the two children finished dinner, she checked their homework.Although Spike could not speak, he had a very high IQ. The home tutor Blair hired for him had already started teaching him the syllabus for middle school.As for Nicki, just like ordinary four to five-year-old children, she had just learned to write her own name.“Auntie, I’m sorry.”Mable was watching Nicki practice writing when she suddenly heard her say that.Mable was dumbfounded for a moment before she raised her head to look at Nicki. “Why are you apologizing, Nicki?”Nicki twisted her fingers together nervously and whispered, “‘Cause I can’t write well…”Mable looked at what Nicki wrote. The teacher had just taught her those words today, and were a little long. Although her handwriting was not very tidy, it was much better than others her age.Taking Nicki’s hand and making her sit beside herself, Mable patted her head. “Nicki, you did well today,
”Mabes…”Blair raised his head to look at Mable. He gazed at her quietly before asking, “Will you always love me?”Mable was surprised. Here she was, wondering what he wanted to say, and it turned out to be this.“Not necessarily. What if you stop loving me in the future and treat me badly? I’d— Mmph!”Before Mable could finish speaking, Blair covered her mouth.“Mabes, there is no ‘what if’. I love you. I will always love and want only you, Mable Jefferson.”Blair embraced her and kissed her lips, sucking and biting gently.Mable kissed him back, replying with a smile, “Then I’ll always love only you, too.”“Mabes…”Blair picked Mable up in a princess carry and walked towards the bed.He put her down gently on the soft bed, and clothes fell to the floor, one by one.Both hers and his.“Ah!”He had hurt Mable.Blair took Mable’s hand, intertwining their fingers. “Mabes… I’m sorry…”‘Forgive me…’‘You’re the treasure I lost but regained, the love I cannot part with, and
Mable’s eyes lit up. “Hubert? That has a pretty good meaning.”She hugged Spike and said, “Baby, your official name will be Hubert Fowler from now on.”Stunned, Blair looked at Mable.He thought she would have Spike take her surname.Spike stared at his mother, frowning slightly as he mouthed, “Why can’t I take your surname, Mommy?”He was Mommy’s child, so he should take Mommy’s surname.Mable scratched her head, patiently explaining, “Baby, under normal circumstances, children take their daddies’ surnames. Now that Mommy and Uncle Blair are married, we’re a family, and according to the law, he’s your daddy. So, you have to take his surname.”The way Spike addressed Blair had always been Uncle Blair.Both Blair and Mable thought it was better to let nature take its course when it came to changing how Spike addressed Blair.Blair looked at Spike and took his hand, leading him to stand before him. “I’m sorry, Spike. I did a lot of things wrong in the past and hurt you and your
Arthur looked at the hand Tracey shook off, unable to react immediately.Tracey had never spoken harshly to him before.With a cold expression tinted with anger, Tracey said, “You can say whatever it is the next time!”After she finished saying that, she walked towards her car without looking back.Arthur watched Tracey go, frozen. His heart felt like it had been stabbed with a knife.It turned out that the difference between when love was and was not present could be so big.Tracey started her car and glanced at Arthur, who was still frozen to the spot in the rearview mirror. Her red lips curled, ignoring him.She drove to Azure. Since it was Henry’s birthday today, he had booked the top floor of the restaurant to treat her to dinner.Taking the elevator upstairs, she saw that it was decorated for a high-profile and eye-catching proposal and tsk-ed.“Henry Morse, you didn’t have to be so dramatic.” Tracey looked at Henry, who was dressed in a black suit.It was just a birthd
“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
