“Mable!" Blair was startled and quickly rushed forward to hold Mable's hand. Her hand was injured, and she could not withstand such a forceful slap."Sir!" Seeing her Master being slapped, Aunt Laura was taken aback but did not dare to intervene.Kyle took the slap head-on without any attempt to dodge or defend himself.Without feeling any relief from her actions, Mable asked, "Kyle, where's Zoe?""Upstairs in her room, still asleep," Kyle replied.Mable wanted to go upstairs, but Kyle stopped her. "What do you want, Mable?""What do I want? Zoe lost her memory and doesn't remember the things you did to her in the past. But I remember! I won't stand by and let you hurt her again!" Mable was resolute."Zoe is safe with me now; no one will harm her, and I won't either," Kyle said."Stop talking nonsense!" Mable glared at Kyle. “How dare you say that? You hurt Zoe the most!"Kyle's eyebrows furrowed as his expression turned cold. "Mable, this is between Zoe and me. It has nothing
After examining Zoe's pulse, Mable checked the wound on Zoe's head. The wound had already healed after a long time, leaving only a thin surgical scar.Zoe's condition was not severe, but she was weak. The recent headache was a result of her previous head injury. Mable regretted her earlier impulsiveness; she should not have brought up the past without fully understanding Zoe's condition, which had caused her sudden headache and fainting.Inadvertently, Mable's gaze fell on Zoe's neck.Zoe was still wearing her pajamas with the collar open, and her fair neck and collarbone were covered in kiss marks. Mable could easily deduce what had happened.She clenched her fists, her eyes shooting icy daggers at Kyle, wishing she could tear him apart. How shameless of Kyle to take advantage of Zoe's memory loss!Kyle covered Zoe with a blanket to keep her warm, ignoring Mable's hostile gaze. He calmly asked, "How is Zoe now?""She's stable for the moment," Mable replied.Mable then turned
Zoe herself spoke these words to Mable. Mable still remembered the time when she woke up with severe injuries in the ancient castle and saw Zoe had cut her hair short.She asked for the reason, and Zoe had first remained silent before speaking to her about many things—from Zoe's love for Kyle to her deep hatred for him."Mable, what should I do? I was optimistic and cheerful, but now I can't find any joy. Kyle has made me feel like I'll never be happy again."Mable recalled the tears in Zoe's eyes as she uttered these words, and her heart ached."Kyle, do you know how much Zoe loved you? After being deceived and abandoned by you, she started to hate you just as much. She even considered having me use the Fuxi Nine Needles Technique to seal all her memories of you."Mable wished she could do that to help Zoe forget about Kyle and her pain if it were not for the significant side effects. Kyle listened to Mable's words with a calm expression. He knew Zoe held a deep grudge against
Mable narrowed her eyes and smirked in anger. "Strictly speaking, Zoe is also related to Secret. If you don't let me take her away, I'll call Rory. Trust me, Rory will personally come to get her within three days!"Rory had always harbored deep resentment toward X. If he found out Zoe was not dead and had been hidden by Kyle, he would come without hesitation.Mable thought that after saying this, Kyle would give up Zoe. However, Kyle responded firmly, "So what? Do you think I'm afraid of him?"When he had decided to keep Zoe by his side, Kyle had already considered the worst-case scenario. Even if Rory came to demand Zoe in person, he would not allow Zoe to leave him!Mable stared at Kyle. Despite her anger, she could not help but admire his determination.A thought suddenly crossed her mind, and she chuckled. "Kyle, don't tell me you've fallen in love with Zoe."Blair watched Kyle and knew he would confront Rory head-on to keep Zoe by his side. If that was not love, what was it?
Zoe turned her head and gave Mable a curious look. "Who are you?"Zoe pointed at Mable, saying to Kyle, "Kyle, I forgot her name.""Her name is Mable," Kyle replied.Kyle glanced at Mable, paused momentarily, and told Zoe, "You two used to be good friends."Zoe's eyes lit up with surprise. "So, Zoe had friends! No wonder she feels so familiar."Since she lost her memory, Zoe had no contact with anyone other than Kyle. She sometimes wondered if she had any friends before.Mable stepped closer and looked at Zoe with a bitter smile. "Zoe, I'm sorry. I only just found out about your memory loss.""It's okay." Zoe held Mable's hand. "Can I come and play with you in the future? It's boring when Kyle isn't at home."Kyle's eyebrows twitched slightly. Zoe had never told him she was bored alone at home. He had overlooked that detail."Of course, you can," Mable replied, holding Zoe's hand. Mable felt heartache but managed to smile. "Zoe, would you like to stay at my place? That way, we
Blair and Mable arrived at Kyle's house early in the morning and had not eaten breakfast, either. After Zoe and Kyle came downstairs, they had something to eat together.Mable was too angry to eat much but restrained herself from causing a scene in front of Zoe.After breakfast, Mable took Zoe for a walk in the garden and asked Zoe about the events of the past few days." Kyle has been very good to me. We even went to an amusement park yesterday."Mable's heart ached, feeling that the current Zoe was like a lamb led to slaughter."He might be pretending now; you don't know what he was like before…” Mable paused, not wanting to trigger Zoe's headaches by mentioning the past."Before?" Zoe looked at Mable in confusion. "Mable, what was Kyle like before?""He used to be very bad, and you didn't like him."Zoe frowned slightly and looked at Mable seriously. "Kyle is a good person now, though. I like him."Mable sighed inwardly. Zoe had lost her memory, and her mental state was lik
Kyle sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand and gently stroking the back of it."Would you kill me if you regain your memory, Zoe?" Kyle stared at Zoe, speaking to himself. "Mable was right. With your personality, you might."Kyle remembered what Mable had said, and regret filled his heart. She must have been devastated back then. Otherwise, why would she have wanted Mable to seal all her memories of him?Kyle regretted how he had ended his relationship with her a year ago and the hurtful words he had spoken. Looking at Zoe beside him, Kyle felt heartache and remorse.Kyle lowered his head and kissed Zoe on the cheek. "Zoe, I hope that day won't come too soon."At that moment, his phone rang. Kyle silenced the call, afraid of waking Zoe, before answering the phone. "Father.""When you return this afternoon, please pick up Melanie at the airport. Her flight is scheduled to land at four o'clock. Bring her back to Goodman mansion with you," his father instructed.Kyle furrowe
Seeing that Mable was less angry, Blair took the opportunity to enter the bedroom. He held Mable's hand and said, "Let me see your hand."Mable had been undergoing rehabilitation to perform acupuncture for Spike in the past. Her hand was recovering well, but the doctor had advised her to use it less and avoid exerting too much force. When she slapped Kyle earlier in the morning, the loud sound indicated she had used considerable force. Blair was concerned she might have hurt her hand.Blair looked at Mable's right hand with a concerned expression. "Does it hurt?"Mable furrowed her brows slightly. "A little.""Wait a moment. I'll get the ointment." Blair opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out the ointment. He sat down next to Mable and applied it to her hand.While applying the ointment, Blair said, "I feel like tying both your hands to make you behave."Mable got angry and retorted, "It was clearly because of Kyle that made me angry. Instead of blaming me, you sho
