The next day, in the morning, Blair accompanied Mable at the hospital. After her lunch break, he headed to the custody center.James was temporarily detained in a Richworth custody center. He had committed numerous crimes, and the police needed to question some details. The earliest court trial would not occur until the month's end.James became excited when he saw Blair. "Blair, where's my daughter?""Tracey is at home." Blair looked at James with an expressionless face. "If you want to see her, answer my questions seriously."James squinted slightly. "What do you want to ask?"Blair inquired, "Who provided you with the Necro Poison?"Aust and Anthony were his men, and he financed the research in Santaviz, so Blair suspected they had a connection.Dr. Sandman had mentioned that the Necro Poison was one of the most mysterious and unique poisons in the South Jumonte, known only to authentic South Jumonte Necromasters.Blair suspected that if James acquired the Necro Poison from
Moreover, he did not have much time left.After a moment of silence, James sighed deeply. "Alright, I promise you."One should not be too greedy in life. Seeing her from a distance was already something to be content with.Blair picked up his phone and sent a message to Arthur.The Royal View Villa.Tracey sat in the living room, sending a message to Mable.She had intended to go to the hospital to see her, but she was afraid that Mable would worry when she saw the bandage on her head. So, she decided to wait until tomorrow to remove the bandage before going to the hospital.Tracey messaged Mable to inquire about her day. The two of them chatted for a while, and then Mable suddenly messaged her, asking about her relationship with Arthur.Tracey hesitated momentarily before replying, [Mabes, I've forgiven him. You can scold me if you want; I'm weak-minded. As soon as he apologized, I couldn't bear to hate him anymore. Besides, he explained that even though he was an undercover a
James gazed at Tracey not far away, tears welling up in his eyes. He opened his mouth, his throat tightening as he said, "The man with Tracey, he’s—"Blair spoke subduedly, "He's the undercover agent you arranged by my side. Tracey loves him very much and has pursued him for three or four years. I believe Arthur also has feelings for her."James nodded, realizing why Shiro had betrayed him. He was also thankful that Shiro had crossed him, or Tracey might not be alive now.James wiped away his tears and strained his eyes to see Tracey more clearly. She had a round face like Jocelyn and looked beautiful when she smiled, with a dimple at the corner of her mouth.James leaned against the car window, trying to suppress the urge to rush down and reveal himself to her.He turned to Blair and asked, "Blair, will you treat Tracey as your sister?"Blair looked at him with an indifferent expression. "I will treat Tracey as I did in the past."James nodded and looked at Tracey again, his fa
Blair nodded. “So, I’ve decided to give Arthur a chance.”It was for Tracey’s sake.Mable hugged Blair, rested her head on his chest, and rubbed it against him. A faint smile appeared on her lips. “Tracey has a good elder brother.”Blair rubbed his head. “I’m not just Tracey’s brother; I’m also your husband and the father of Spike.”Mable chuckled, lifted her head, and rewarded him by kissing his lips lightly. “I also have a good husband, and Spike has a good father.”Blair kissed Mable’s forehead and then went to the living room.Arthur stood before Blair in the living room with a slightly lowered head. In a low voice, he said, “Master Blair, I implore you to allow me to continue being with Trace.”Blair looked at Arthur with a cold gaze.Arthur had said this to him the second day he got together with Tracey. However, back then, he used the word “please.” Now, he was practically begging.“You should be very clear about the depth of Trace’s feelings for you without me saying m
Solomon looked at Ines while holding her hand and explained, “It’s all company matters, which have been resolved now. I’ve taken some time off to spend it with you.”Solomon had no intention of telling Ines about the busy matters during this time.Ines nodded, saying lightly, “Your phone was unreachable, and you didn’t reply to my messages. I thought you wanted to break up.”“Break up?”Solomon raised an eyebrow, a hint of a playful smile on his lips. “We’ve been together for such a short time, and you’re ready to give up on me so quickly?”Ines snorted softly. “It’s not like you lack in women around you.”“Who told you that?”Ines said, “A few days ago, during the company team building, we went to the bar with colleagues, and I overheard someone at the next table mention you. They said you’ve been through many flowers and leaves without being touched.”“Cough, cough…” Solomon almost choked on his drink.Who the hell was spreading rumors about him?Solomon looked at Ines and
Wilbur lacked nothing there except electricity. So, whenever he returned, his phone was basically just a decoration.Wilbur walked to the side and glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall.“Today should be the third of December.”It had been a month since he brought back Anthony.Anthony looked at Wilbur and asked, “Why did you save me? What’s your purpose?”He did not believe Wilbur saved him without expecting anything in return.“Was it on purpose?”Wilbur turned to look at Anthony, a wicked smile appearing on his face.That question reminded him. He was currently in need of someone for a poison-testing experiment.“I saved you, so your life belongs to me. From now on… you have to obediently listen to me.”Anthony frowned, his eyes darkening. “What if I say no?”Wilbur’s face revealed an arrogant smile. “Your life is in my hands. What qualifications do you have to say no?”Anthony was silent for a moment.The feeling of having one’s life controlled by someone else was
Blair left his office and returned to Mable’s hospital room.At this time, Mable was receiving an infusion, sound asleep, and Tracey was looking after her.“Blair.”Seeing Blair come in, Tracey called out to him softly.Blair nodded slightly and walked to Mable’s side, holding her hand where the IV was attached.After weeks of continuous infusions, her hands were covered in bruises from the needles and were a bit swollen. It was a sight that tugged at the heartstrings.Blair placed a kiss on the back of her hand and then turned to Tracey. “Trace, take care of Mabes for me. I have something to attend to and will be back later.”“Okay, go ahead. I’ll take care of Mabes. You don’t need to worry.”Blair gently caressed Mable’s face and then left the hospital room.He took out his phone and sent messages to both Solomon and Kyle.There was a moment of silence.X.As soon as Blair arrived at the company, Amos led a lawyer into the room.“Master Blair, Ian is here."Blair nodded
Blair, determined to sacrifice himself to save Mable, had not informed Solomon.Kyle looked at Blair and furrowed his brows tightly. “Have you thought this through? Are you really going to do it?”Blair touched the ring on his middle finger and nodded. “Yes.”Solomon, baffled, looked at them. “Master Blair, Kyle, what are you talking about?”What had Master Blair decided to do?Kyle turned to explain Mable’s situation and Blair’s decision to Solomon.Upon hearing this, Solomon became emotional. “Master Blair, are you kidding? There must be another way to detoxify Mable. You—”“This is the only way,” Blair interrupted Solomon.“But... You can’t…”Was his life not as valuable as Mable’s?Solomon completely disagreed with this life-for-a-life approach.He looked at Kyle. “Ky, why aren’t you trying to talk him out of it?”Kyle sighed inwardly, sounding rather helpless. “I did try, but it was no use.”Solomon was speechless.He knew Blair loved Mable deeply, but what he was pl
“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
