Mable looked at Blair and forced a smile on her face. “Did you forget? I’m also a doctor. I know very well what my condition is.”The atmosphere in the ward became even heavier.To the side, the doctor and nurse looked at Mable and then at Blair, their expressions filled with helplessness and sorrow.Although they had seen many such scenes as medical professionals, witnessing Mable on the bed now still filled their hearts with lament at her cruel fate.Blair stared at Mable, his eyes filled with endless sadness. “Mabes...”How could he tell her that she only had a month left?It was too cruel...Mable knew Blair could not tell her, so she looked at the doctor and forced a brave smile. “Tell me the truth. How much time do I have left?”The doctor sighed in his heart and said honestly, “Mrs. Fowler, your poisoning is severe, and there are already signs of failure in multiple organs. Based on your current situation, you can hold on for another month at most.”Mable stiffened. A m
When Zoe saw Mable, she immediately rushed over to hold her hand. “Mabes, how are you? Why are your hands so cold?”Mable looked at Zoe and smiled faintly. “I’m fine, Zoe... I’m just a little sick.”Zoe looked at her and touched her face, full of concern. “You don’t look like you’re just a little sick.”“That’s how illnesses are. Don’t worry.”With Zoe keeping her company in the ward, Blair stepped out.“Master Blair, Dr. Sandman has arrived. He’s waiting for you in the office.”Blair nodded and went to the office.In the office, Dr. Sandman was examining Mable’s medical records that Amos gave him.After reading them, he frowned deeply, showing signs of worry.From Mable’s examination results, her condition did not look optimistic.The office door opened, and Blair walked in.He looked at Dr. Sandman and said, “Dr. Sandman, sorry for calling you back to Richworth again.”“No worries. Have a seat, Master Blair.”After Blair sat down, Dr. Sandman picked up Mable’s medical re
Kyle looked at Blair and let out a long sigh, saying, “Amos told me.”Blair nodded faintly. He was also planning to tell Kyle soon.There were many follow-up matters that required Kyle’s assistance.He needed to resolve all the troubles before the surgery.“Blair, you...”“Don’t try to persuade me,” Blair interrupted his words, his voice devoid of any fluctuations. “If the person lying in the hospital bed was Zoe, I think you would make the same decision as me.”Kyle opened his mouth but could not bring himself to speak the words.Forget it.He knew he could not persuade Blair, so he chose not to say anything more.However...“Aren’t you telling Mable?”Blair frowned, and his eyes darkened. “She can’t find out.”Kyle nodded. He knew Blair would choose to keep it from Mable.“Solomon sent a message earlier, saying he wants to have a video call with us. There’s something important he wants to discuss.”Blair nodded and walked toward the hospital room. “Okay, but I want to g
Back then, in order to secure the position of the family head, Luke did not hesitate to harm his two brothers and caused them to die in a car and maritime accidents.Even their family members were not spared.“Boss, I’ve confirmed it. Anthony’s godfather is your third uncle, James Fowler. He didn’t die in the accident in the sea but escaped to East Erebar, where he married the daughter of the top family in East Erebar, the Luthers. Now, he’s the head of the Luther family and goes under the alias ‘Stephen’...”In the video, Solomon spoke while typing on the keyboard, sending the documents to Blair.“I’ve emailed you the details. You can take a look.”Blair took out his phone and tapped on Solomon’s mail.Kyle walked over and looked at the documents, too.Blair skimmed through it and soon finished reading everything.In an instant, he understood everything.It was no wonder...James wanted revenge against Luke, so the best way was to destroy his position as the head of the fami
Blair sat on a chair, looking at Arthur in front of him expressionlessly.Arthur knelt in front of him before he could speak.“Master Blair, I’m begging you... Please don’t tell Trace!”The moment he was captured by Kyle’s men, he knew his identity had been exposed.Although he knew this day would come eventually, he did not expect it to be so soon...For an instant, he thought of running.In the end, he chose to give up.He did not want to return to the hopeless days of the past. In fact, Arthur felt better now that Blair discovered his identity.He could finally put down this heavy burden.Blair stared at Arthur and laughed coldly. He thought someone like Arthur, trained as an undercover assassin from a young age, would have some backbone. Unexpectedly, he was already begging for mercy before Blair said anything.However, Arthur was not begging him to spare his life but rather not to reveal the truth to Tracey.Blair sneered. “Don’t tell Tracey what? Your identity or your
Arthur looked at Blair and Kyle. “Master Blair, I know you won’t believe anything I say now, but I still want to tell you this. Ever since I decided to be with Trace, I’ve made up my mind to abandon my undercover identity. No matter what, I won’t do anything that’ll hurt you.”Whether it was killing Anthony or letting Luke go, it did not directly harm Blair or Tracey, so he agreed to do it.Arthur knelt in front of Blair. “Master Blair, please kill me!”He would not do anything to betray Blair again. However, he did not dare to betray Stephen, either. Stephen knew everything that was going on. If he found out that Arthur was disloyal, he would go after Tracey...Blair stared at Arthur with eyes full of hostility. “You want to die? It’s not that easy!”...In the hospital, Tracey fell asleep on the sofa and had a nightmare.A loud thunderclap woke her up.She touched the cold sweat on her forehead. Perhaps she had been thinking too much lately, which led to nightmares about her
Blair knew Mable missed Spike and said, “I’ll tell Tracey to bring Spike to the hospital to see you tomorrow, okay?”“But...”While Mable missed Spike, she was worried he would worry upon seeing her like this...Blair rubbed her cheeks tenderly. “Mabes, Spike is stronger than we think, and he misses you very much. He called multiple times the past two days to ask about how you’re doing.”Mable asked, “Did you tell him?”“I told him you suffered a minor injury and need some rest, and that you’ll get better soon.”Mable was relieved and nodded. She did not want Spike to know her true condition.“I’ll put on a little makeup tomorrow before seeing Spike. I’m afraid my complexion will scare him.Blair stared at her pale face and nodded slightly.He took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, pulling her into his arms.“Mabes, about Anthony’s godfather, that ‘Stephen’ guy from East Erebar... I found out his identity.”Mable looked up at him. “Really? Who is he?”“His real name i
Mable asked Blair, “Is this the same tattoo you saw that night six years ago?”Blair nodded. “It’s the same, but... the color of the tattoo on your back that night was much darker than it is now.”The color of the tattoo now was relatively light, with the peach blossoms in a very faint pink.Blair touched her face and then her back. “Mabes, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”Mable shook her head and reached behind to touch her back. “It just feels a bit hot, but that’s all.”She looked at the picture that Blair took and said, “Will it become darker?”Blair was worried that she would catch a cold and pulled up the blanket, wrapping her up. “Let’s observe it for now. Make sure to tell me immediately if you feel any discomfort.”Mable laughed and leaned against his chest. “The tattoo has been on me for so many years and hasn’t caused any harm to my body. There shouldn’t be a need to worry about it.”After a while, Blair checked her back again and found that the color of the tatt
“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
