Even though Mable did not want to see him, he could not just disappear like that. How would Mable forgive him if he did not take the initiative to apologize and make amends?With those thoughts, Tracey planned to call Blair at night and have a good talk with him.Unexpectedly, she saw Arthur just as she returned home at night.Tracey excitedly ran over and hugged him. “Arthur, when did you come back?”It had been a week, and she missed him dearly.“We just arrived. I was about to send you a message.” Arthur stroked her hair, feeling at ease now that he saw her.When Mable led the two children out of the car, Arthur nodded at her in greeting.Tracey quickly asked, “Arthur, did Blair come back too? Where is he?”They left together, so they should be back together, too.Arthur said, “Master Blair is in the hospital.”Mable’s footsteps froze as a hint of shock passed in her eyes.Tracey’s expression immediately changed, and she asked anxiously, “The hospital? What happened to hi
Blair took out an aromatherapy lamp from the drawer, dropped essential oil into it, and plugged it by the bedside.When he had insomnia in the past, Mable bought lavender essential oil and an aromatherapy lamp that aided sleep.Blair looked at Mable and knew that she was not asleep.She was just pretending to be asleep because she did not want to see him...He walked to the bed and stared at her, his dark eyes filled with endless tenderness.He bent down to tuck her in and whispered, “Good night, Mabes.”Then, he left the bedroom.After a while, Mable opened her eyes and looked at the tightly closed bedroom door. Her nose stung, and her heart felt extremely uncomfortable.The scented candles on the bedside emitted a warm light, but Mable felt a bone-piercing coldness in her body....It was already very late when Kyle returned to the villa.He did not tell Zoe that he would be back today. He was too busy these days and barely replied to her messages. They only had one video
It was not a dream! It really was Kyle!Kyle was back!It was no wonder her back felt warm. It was because she was in his embrace.Zoe was overjoyed and burrowed into Kyle’s arms, rubbing her small face against his chest.“Can’t you be good in the morning, girl?”The man’s magnetic voice came from above her.Zoe was startled and raised her head to see Kyle opening his eyes, staring at her.He had already woken up when she grabbed his hand, but he kept his eyes closed because he wanted to see the girl’s reaction.Unexpectedly, she was being a bad girl!Zoe hugged his neck and said happily, “Ky, you’re awake!”Then, she blinked and asked, “Did I wake you up?”Kyle held her waist and pinched the soft flesh there. “What do you think?”Zoe was ticklish and flinched in his arms, laughing. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to. I thought I was dreaming.”As soon as she finished speaking, Kyle held the back of her head and kissed her lips fiercely.Zoe closed her eyes, enjoying the kiss.Kyl
Zoe was frightened.When she saw Kyle’s heavily bandaged arm, she felt more distressed than if she were the injured one. Her tears instantly fell like beads from a broken string.“Ky, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to... Ky, does it hurt a lot?”“It’s just a minor injury. It doesn’t hurt.” Kyle pulled Zoe into his arms. The wound did not hurt much, but his heart ached when he saw her cry.Zoe rested on his shoulder, her tears not stopping despite his comfort.“Ky... I don’t want you to get hurt...”Zoe remembered the days she was hospitalized when her body felt terrible, and she had to take medicine and injections. She did not like it at all.She looked at Kyle’s injured arm and felt incredibly distressed. “I’d rather you come back a few days later than see you injured... I can wait. I can wait however long, but I don’t want you to get hurt...”Kyle patted her back, his eyes filled with warmth.Every word she said touched the softest part of his heart.“Be good, Zoe. Don’t cry. I p
“Yes.”...Meanwhile, in Royal View Villa.Amos brought some enrollment notices for Spike and Nicki to Mable. The school procedures were already completed.The two children could start school next week.Mable took the documents and stopped Amos, who was just about to leave. “Amos, I have a question.”Amos looked at her and said respectfully, “Please go ahead, Madam.”Mable thought about it and then asked, “Tell me about Liv.”Amos was stunned.‘Liv? Madam, you’re Liv.’He looked at her. “Madam...”Mable picked up the tea on the side and took a sip, saying calmly, “I want to know when Blair started looking for Liv. You’ve been with him for many years, so you should know about these things.”Amos was slightly stunned, then nodded hesitatingly. “Well... Yes.”Mable nodded and looked at him, indicating for him to go on.“Six years ago, Master Blair fell for a scheme in Santaviz by Aust. He went missing for a whole day and night. When our people found him the next day, the fir
In the afternoon, Blair returned to Royal View Villa.When Nicki saw him, she happily ran up to him. “Uncle Blair, you’re back.”“Uncle Blair,” Spike looked at Blair and greeted him indifferently.It was Blair’s fault for angering his mommy and making her feel upset these past few days.Blair looked at the children, and a rare smile appeared on his face. “Did you two behave while I wasn’t around at home?”Nicki nodded like a well-behaved child. “We’ve been very obedient.”Spike looked at Blair and frowned. “Didn’t you promise me that you’d ask Blackwood to be my teacher? When is he coming?”“He’s already here.”Spike made a surprised sound and looked behind Blair, but there was no one.Blair crouched down in front of Spike and laughed. “I’m Blackwood.”Spike widened his eyes, surprise written all over his face. “Y-You’re...”He never thought that the idol he admired was Blair.Blair rubbed his head. “I’ll start teaching you tomorrow, okay? But you need to do me a small favo
Mable looked at Spike and could not bear to refuse.After a moment of silence, she nodded. “Sure.”Spike hugged her happily. “Thank you, Mommy!”“What’s this?” Mable picked up the document holder Spike gave her.Spike shook his head.Mable hesitated for a few seconds before opening it. Inside was a CT scan and a medical report.Mable saw the contents and was stunned. This was...“What’s that, Mommy?” Spike looked at the CT scan in Mable’s hand curiously.Mable hid her expression and said, “Baby, can you call Uncle Blair upstairs for me?”“Okay!”Spike happily ran downstairs, becoming his mommy’s little messenger.Mable closed the laptop and went to the bathroom.She stood in front of the mirror, took off her shirt, and turned her head to look at the blood-red pattern on her back.When she first discovered it, the pattern was only as big as a thumb, but now it was as large as a palm.The last time she went to the hospital for a checkup, she saw the examination report that
Blair recalled that night with a complex expression. “I was drugged that night, so my consciousness was a bit disoriented. The next day when I woke up, I vaguely remembered you said ‘Liv’, so I thought that was your name.”He did not know what her name was, so he referred to her as Liv.Mable nodded in realization.If she had told him her name was Mable, maybe he would have found her much earlier.Mable remembered what Amos said about how Blair had traveled almost the entire world in search of her.Blair also told her more than once that he felt guilty toward Liv and saw her as his lifesaver.That was why he treated Olivia so well when she pretended to be Liv.Mable thought of all the jealousy and anger she had felt over the years because of ‘Liv’ and suddenly felt ridiculous.It turned out that she had been jealous of herself all along.Blair approached and knelt in front of Mable, staring at her. “Mabes, I know that no matter how much time passes, I might never be able to ma
