The Fowler Residence. At this moment, Luke’s trusted confidant, Thomas, was being held at gunpoint by Solomon. The villa’s bodyguards gathered around when they saw this, but no one dared to make a move. After receiving Blair’s call, Solomon aimed at Thomas’ right wrist without hesitation. Swoosh!Swoosh!Swoosh!The silenced pistol shot three bullets in succession, hitting the same place. Thomas screamed miserably and fell to his knees, covering his bleeding wrist. Inside the house. Blair looked coldly at Luke. “I’m crippling one of Thomas’ hands today as a warning. I won’t let anyone who tries to harm Mable go, no matter who it is!” “Blair!” Luke became agitated. His good son had his trusted confidant shot for a woman. Would that not mean he would also be at odds with him in the future? He would not allow it! “Very well! You dare to threaten me now!” Amongst Luke’s three sons, Blair was the eldest and the most capable. Within five years of taking over
Mable immediately changed her clothes and rushed to the hospital. Once there, she first looked at the patient’s case for the past two days before heading to the ward with Ethan. Mable was about to examine the patient when a woman standing by the bed rushed up to stop her. “Ethan, is this the professor you were talking about?”Hannah pointed at Mable with distrust. Ethan nodded and introduced, “Yes, this is Professor Mable Jefferson. The main surgeon who operated on Jacob.” “Her? What a joke!” Hannah put her hands on her waist. She was angry and anxious. Doctors who became professors were at least 40 years old. Mable looked about the same age as her, so how good could her medical skills be? Hannah pointed at Mable, so angry that her face turned red. “Ethan, how could you let someone so young operate on Jacob?!” “Hannah, shut up!” The man on the bed suddenly spoke hoarsely. “Jacob, you’re awake.” Hannah quickly walked to the bedside with concern. As the surgery was
Mable got out of the car halfway and took a new Uber, changing her route. She initially wanted to lead the other party to a quiet place so that she could catch them and ask what they wanted. Nevertheless, the black SUV did not follow her for too long this time. Suddenly, they turned around and left. Mable secretly noted down the license plate, planning to look into it at night. Due to the little interlude, she arrived at the fondue restaurant a few minutes late. Tracey sent her a message saying she had arrived and was on the second floor by the window. However, when Mable went upstairs, Tracey was nowhere to be seen. Instead, Blair was sitting by the window. He wore a black suit and looked extremely reserved. He seemed out of place with the atmosphere in the fondue restaurant. “Wow, that guy is so handsome. He’s simply top-notch. I wonder if he has a girlfriend!” “I can’t. He’s too attractive. I want to get his number.” “What if he has a girlfriend? Ah, I shouldn’t ov
Blair added Mable’s favorite, potatoes, to the pot. “It’s rare that you take food for me. I can’t bear to say no.” Mable was so angry that she laughed. Then, she asked, “Will you eat poison if I feed it to you?” Blair put down his chopsticks and looked seriously at her. “Mabes, can you bear to do that?” Mable was dumbfounded.‘Isn’t the answer obvious?!’ She would rather eat poison herself than let him get hurt. Blair stared at her with a big smile. Mable was so worried when he ate a little of something he was allergic to. It seemed she was not completely unfeeling toward him. Worried, Mable asked someone to buy a box of antihistamines from a nearby drugstore for her. The medicine arrived after they finished eating. Mable was only relieved after Blair took the medicine. When they returned home after dinner, Mable saw many gardeners working on the landscaping. “Are they planting something?” Mable asked. “Osmanthus, sunflowers, and strawberries.” Tracey said th
29 Massey Road. It was an abandoned workshop factory without many people around. Two large men in undershirts lifted the kidnapped woman from the car and threw her on the ground. “Behave well, or I’ll kill you with one shot!” Tracey had not encountered a scenario like this before. She was too scared to speak. When she was kidnapped by Henry, she was not afraid because she knew he would not harm her. This time, it was different. The few people who broke into her house were armed. It was clear they were not ordinary kidnappers. “Boss, she’s here,” a blonde man said. Only then did Tracey notice another car parked beside them. The car door opened, and a woman in a red dress stepped down. Tracey widened her eyes when she saw her. “Mmm!!!” ‘Beatrice! ‘What does this evil woman want?!’ Beatrice walked up to Tracey and looked hatefully at her with an air of superiority. “Tracey, don’t blame me for being cruel. Instead, blame Mable for being too sharp. You’re jus
Beatrice looked at Tracey and laughed out loud. Mable and Tracey were extremely close. If she came and saw that Tracey had been raped, one could imagine how she would look. Beatrice stood up straight and clapped her hands. “Go on.” The big man rubbed his hands and carried Tracey up. Then, he threw her onto the foam mattress on the side. The blonde man handed his gun to his accomplice and also walked over. Tracey struggled desperately. The rope on her wrist made her bleed. “Don’t. Please let me go. You can have as much money as you want. Please… “...Don’t come any closer. Help! Help!” The blonde man untied the rope on Tracey’s hand and ripped her jacket off in one smooth motion. “Nobody is here. No matter how much you scream, no one will come to save you.” The big man touched Tracey’s face. “Be good and enjoy yourself. We promise to make it pleasurable.” Tracey simply wanted to throw up. She struggled desperately. “Beatrice, make them stop! Stop! Don’t...” That said,
Blair was working in the study when he suddenly heard the start of a sports car engine coming from outside.He looked out the window and saw that it was Mable. ‘Where is she going at this hour?’ Blair was worried, so he immediately went downstairs to follow her with his men. Seeing as she ran several red lights along the way, he had a bad feeling about it. Mable was driving too fast. Even though Blair chased her closely from behind, he still arrived a few minutes later. When Blair arrived, he heard Tracey’s cries from the abandoned workshop. “Mabes, that’s enough! Stop hitting! Mabes!” Blair’s heart tightened, and he rushed in quickly. In the empty workshop, Mable was squatting beside a blonde man. Without a word, she grabbed his collar with one hand and punched his face with the other. Bam!Bam!One punch after another. Mable repeated her movements like a robot. Her eyes were hollow, and she was expressionless. She struck harder and harder with each punch. The
After hearing the doctor’s diagnosis, Blair finally relaxed before worrying again.“When will she wake up?” “Um… Ms. Jefferson is having an excessive stress reaction caused by a strong stimulus. She’ll likely stay unconscious until tomorrow afternoon and awake sometime after.” Blair nodded and signaled the doctors to leave. Once the doctors and nurses left, Blair and Mable were the only ones left in the bedroom. “Mabes.” Blair painfully held up Mable’s injured hand and planted a kiss on her fingers. Amos gently knocked on the door before entering the room. “Master Blair.” “How’s Tracey?” Blair asked. “I’m fine.” Tracey walked in. The doctor had told her to get some rest, but she was too worried about Mable. If Mable had not arrived in time, she might have been… Tracey looked at Mable’s bandaged hand and asked, “How’s Mabes?” “The doctor said she’s suffering from an excessive stress reaction from being stimulated and will be asleep for a while.” Tracey lower
“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
