They didn't dare to make any reckless moves. The phone rang, and Amos answered immediately, "Master Blair." The next moment, a command from Blair came through the phone. "Release all of X's confidential files immediately.""Understood!" Through the surveillance, Amos already knew about Luke's condition. Hearing Master Blair's order now, he did not hesitate and immediately opened the computer. Nothing was more important than his wife's life at this critical moment."Master Blair, our people are already in position. The bomb disposal expert is analyzing the bomb model on Mrs Blair's body. Please give us more time."Blair responded with a sound and hung up the phone. He looked at Luke and said, "I've done as you said. You'll see the results soon."Mable watched Blair, her heart filled with mixed emotions. X was his years of hard work and his biggest trump card. How could he be willing to destroy it just for her? Was it worth it?Blair raised his hand, and after a while, one of hi
Luke's subordinate rushed forward, gripping Mable's chin and sealing her mouth with tape.Mable widened her eyes, staring at Blair. A hoarse roar tried to escape her throat. “No, Blair, don't! Don't listen to him!”"Mabes, don't be afraid. Close your eyes, and it'll be over soon." Blair took the dagger and looked at Mable not far away. Mable shook her head desperately as tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.Luke watched them with a look of amusement. "Truly touching."He looked at Blair, slightly lifting his chin. "My good son, let's begin. I promise to keep my word this time. Once you're dead, I'll let Mable go."Blair looked at the dagger in his hand and laughed. "Aren't you afraid I'll use this dagger to kill you?"Luke raised an eyebrow. "Heh… Unless you want her to die.""Master Blair, you can act now!" At that moment, a voice came through Blair's earpiece.A glint of fierceness flashed in Blair's eyes. "Neither Mable nor I will die today!" As the words fell, B
Blair's face turned pale. “Mabes, what's happening to you?""Boss!" Hugh hurriedly ran over. His face turned terrified as he looked at Mable's condition.Blair suddenly realized what had happened and looked at the fallen Luke. "Luke, what did you do to Mabes?"Luke's hand was still pinned to the ground, a pool of blood beneath him. He looked at Blair with a triumphant posture, laughing heartily. "Blair, didn’t I say you haven't won? How could I let you win over me?!"Even if Luke had to sacrifice his life, Blair would ensure Luke suffered for a lifetime!Hugh rushed to Luke's side, grabbing his hair fiercely. "Tell me, what have you done?"Luke spat out a mouthful of blood, eyes filled with madness. "I'll tell you. It’s poison. Twenty milliliters, enough to end her life."Blair's pupils dilated, holding Mable's icy hand against his face. His eyes filled with endless fear. "Antidote. Where's the antidote?"Hugh squeezed Luke's neck, impatient. "Hand over the antidote!""Antidot
"Master Blair, I’m truly sorry. Despite pumping her stomach and performing a series of emergency measures for your wife, the poisoning has deeply affected her. Currently, her organs are in a state of failure. You need to be mentally prepared. With her current condition, she probably..."Everyone looked at the doctor, waiting for him to complete his sentence.The doctor paused, his face filled with sorrow. "She probably has, at most, one month left to live."As soon as the doctor finished speaking, the entire hallway fell into silence.Blair stared blankly at the doctor, trying to process what he had just heard."At most... one month?"Kyle looked at Blair. At that moment, he only had one thought, ‘If Mable were to die, he would be finished!’Hugh was the first to react. He hurried forward and seized the doctor's collar. "What do you mean? What does 'at most, one month' mean? Since there's still one month, find a way to save her!"The doctor quickly responded. "Sir, please calm
After Fowler Enterprise went bankrupt and Luke was imprisoned, Blair completely eradicated his influence.When Luke escaped from the mental hospital, both the police and Blair’s men searched for him. However, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace, as if he evaporated from the earth.Now, he suddenly reappeared and caused such a disturbance. It was clear that he was not working alone.Who sent the subordinates to him, secretly protecting him from being found?It seemed that there was someone still helping Luke from the shadows. What happened this time proved that all these threats must be eliminated!“Where’s Luke being held?” Kyle asked.“In the basement of a villa in the suburbs.”Kyle said, “I’ll head there now. Call me if anything comes up.”“Okay.”...Tracey arrived at the hospital early and cried outside the ICU for a long time when she learned about Mable’s condition.She could not accept this reality and pleaded with the doctors to do everything possible to s
Mable wanted to say something, but Blair interrupted her. “Your throat is hurt, Mabes. Rest, don’t talk.”The toxicity of the poison was too strong and burned her throat.Mable looked at Blair’s worried expression and nodded.She was too weak at the moment and could not even check her own condition. She did not know whether she could survive or not.Blair used a wet cloth to wipe her dry lips and said gently, “Don’t worry, Mabes. Spike and Nicki are doing well at home. Tracey will take good care of them. All you have to focus on is getting better. I’ll always be with you.”Mable looked at him and moved her lips.In the past, to communicate with Spike, Blair had deliberately learned how to lip-read. Thus, even though Mable did not speak, he could understand what she was saying.“I’ll stay strong,” she mouthed.“I’ll stay strong for you and the children…”Blair gripped her hand and pressed a tender kiss on the back of it, his eyes filled with love.“Thank you, Mabes...”Mable,
Kyle paused and rephrased, “Who did you contact after leaving the mental hospital? Or did anyone contact you?”This time, there was finally a slight movement in Luke’s vacant eyes. “He... contacted me...”“Who is he?”“East Erebar... Stephen...”Kyle’s expression changed as he clenched his fists. “Do you have his number?”“No... number... He... contacted me...”Arthur stood behind Kyle. When he heard Luke mention the words ‘East Erebar’ and ‘Stephen’, he instantly paled.He clenched his fists tightly and stared at Luke as if his eyes could pierce a hole through Luke.Kyle finished his questioning and was ready to leave.Before leaving, he glanced at Arthur and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on him here for now. He’s still useful. Don’t let him die.”“Don’t worry, Mr. Goodman. I know.”After Kyle left, Arthur walked up to Luke with bloodshot eyes. “Luke Fowler, you deserve to die!”Just then, his phone rang.Arthur picked up the phone and saw a number starti
After leaving the basement, Kyle went to the hospital.Mable had been transferred from the ICU to a VIP ward, with Blair guarding her closely.“Luke confessed. Someone from East Erebar contacted him after he escaped from the mental hospital. He mentioned that the person who contacted him was working for Stephen...”Kyle told Blair the information Luke revealed.Blair sat by the bed, carefully holding Mable’s hand. She had only woken up for a short while before falling asleep again.At Kyle’s words, a cold and gloomy aura shrouded Blair’s face. His dark eyes were unfathomable.Stephen of East Erebar again...What grudge did he have against Blair?Blair looked at Kyle and said, “Contact Solomon and tell him to be ready to close the net at any time.”“Got it.”Kyle paused before saying, “Stephen must have people planted in Richworth since he understands Luke’s situation so well. I’ve already sent someone to investigate the clues. We’ll have a lead before long.”Blair nodded and
“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
