Mable’s concern grew as she watched her body weaken, day after day.There were some things she could not help but worry about.Would Blair remarry if she died?Deep love could not compare to the passage of time. After all, Blair was still so young.So, Mable asked the question that had been bothering her.However, as soon as she spoke, Blair’s expression changed.“Mable, you...”“Let me finish.”Mable turned around and covered his mouth. “I was just asking, so don’t get mad. A lifetime is a long time. If I die, it’s okay if you meet another nice girl and want to remarry...”She pursed her lips, holding back the sourness in her nose, and continued, “I won’t be angry, but I have one condition: she must treat Spike well. You...”“Shut up!”Blair could not bear it anymore and interrupted her.Mable stared at him, tears streaming down uncontrollably.“Do you really want me to remarry so much?”“No, I...”Mable choked up. Just the thought of Blair marrying another woman, calli
Blair leaned down to kiss her lips. “I’m here, Mabes...”After a while, he whispered, “I’m sorry...”Blair took a notebook and pen from the drawer and began to write while looking at her.When it was almost dawn, he put the notebook away, lay on the bed, and slept with her in his arms....When Mable woke up, she felt sore all over. Her legs trembled as she went downstairs for breakfast.After eating, she spent some time with the children before heading back to the hospital with Blair.On the way back to the hospital, she looked at Blair’s guilty expression and kissed his lips with a laugh. “I’m fine, babe. What was that saying? At least I’d have gone out with a bang. Last night was quite good.”They were both adults and a couple. It was normal for them not to be able to control their feelings.Blair’s mouth twitched as he pulled a face.He looked straight at her and pinched her cheek. “Don’t talk about death!”“Okay, okay.”In the hospital, before long, the doctor came to
Zoe took the ring and put it on Kyle’s ring finger, then reached to hold his hand. She looked at the rings on their hands with a bright smile.“It looks so beautiful, Ky.”Kyle held her hand and kissed the back of her palm. “Let’s go.”The two entered the bureau and waited for their turn to fill out forms. Then, they took photos and processed the paperwork...After completing the paperwork, the staff said with a smile, “Congratulations on your marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Goodman.”“Thank you.”Kyle took the documents and felt an unprecedented assurance in his heart.He had finally married Zoe.They were now legal husband and wife.“That’s it?” Zoe asked curiously as she looked at the documents in his hand.“Yeah. Let’s go.” Kyle led Zoe to stand up.“Okay.”Zoe glanced at the candies on the counter and felt a bit tempted. She asked the lady sitting at the counter, “Miss, are these candies for us?”She saw many people who came here to process their documents also had candies. Wh
Kyle looked at Zoe beside him, then at the marriage certificate in his hand, and smiled. “We’re quite well.”Floyd said, “Your mother recently contacted a foreign neurology expert. Once we’ve decided on a time, let him examine Zoe.”If Zoe could recover, he would not object to them being together and getting married.However, if she could not recover and remained the same, he would never allow them to be together.That was the line that Floyd set.Kyle looked at Zoe unwrapping another candy, his eyes filled with warmth. “Okay.”After hanging up the phone, he wrapped her in his arms. “I have a dinner tomorrow and can’t have it at home with you. Be good and wait for me at home, okay?”Zoe looked up at him. “Okay.”Then, she touched Kyle’s face and instructed, “Don’t drink too much.”“Mm.”Zoe thought of something else and said, “I wonder how Mabes is doing. I want to see her at the hospital tomorrow. You can bring me back when you’re done with work.”“Sure.”The next afternoo
In a corner of the banquet hall, unnoticed by anyone, Melanie handed a small bag of powder to a waiter.The waiter looked at the packet uneasily. “Ms. Xepher, this is...”“Don’t worry, it’s just a little stimulant. It won’t harm anyone.”When the waiter continued to hesitate, Melanie said, “Five hundred thousand isn’t a small sum. It’s enough for you to buy a house.”At those words, the waiter gritted his teeth and clenched the bag in his fist. “Don’t worry, Ms. Xepher. I’ll handle it.”Melanie nodded. After the waiter left, she returned to her seat.The banquet started, and the waiter approached to pour wine.Kyle looked at the glass in front of him and remembered what Zoe said to him.One glass should not be too much.He toasted Klay and several other members of the Xepher family, then stopped drinking, declining unnecessary toasts with the excuse that he had low tolerance.Thinking that he needed to pick Zoe up from the hospital, he used an excuse to leave before the banqu
Although Melanie could not see the man’s face inside the dimly lit room, judging by his figure, she was sure he was who she was waiting for.The man walked straight to the bed. Melanie sat up and untied her bathrobe in front of him.Perhaps due to shyness, she closed her eyes, not daring to meet the man’s gaze.The next moment, the man held her tightly and pressed her onto the bed.The strong scent of alcohol wafted over.Melanie frowned slightly, wondering why Kyle drank so much...However, on second thought, the more drunk he was, the better.Thus, she kissed the man’s lips.The atmosphere became intense, and things spiraled out of control....In the hospital, Zoe ate with Mable and waited for Kyle to pick her up.She did not want to disturb him, so she did not dare send him messages.Seeing Zoe hold her phone and waiting for a message, Mable could not help but ask the question that had been on her mind all afternoon.“Zoe, did Kyle give you that ring?”Zoe was startle
“Emergency room?”Zoe’s face instantly paled. She ran up to grab Amos. “What happened to Ky?”“Calm down, Ms. White...”Blair stood up. “What happened?”Amos scratched his head. “I’m not sure either, but judging by Mr. Goodman’s appearance... It shouldn’t be a big deal...”Mable looked at Blair and said, “Blair, take Zoe to see Kyle.”Seeing Zoe about to cry, Mable was also worried.Blair rubbed her head. “Okay, I’ll go check. I’ll be right back.”After they left, Mable went to the bathroom.As she came out, just as she approached the bed, Mable suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.“Ugh!”Mable collapsed to the ground with a thud, and a strong taste of blood surged up her throat. She quickly covered her mouth as crimson blood oozed through her fingers......In the emergency room.Kyle leaned back on the sofa, his coat already off. His shirt was unbuttoned to reveal his collarbones, and sweat covered his forehead.One of his hands was hooked up to an IV drip, and his
Blair stared at Kyle and said, “Treat Zoe well, or Mabes won’t let you off.”Kyle smiled. “Don’t worry, I will.”He wanted to hold Zoe’s hand, but he held back, worried that the fire in his body would boil again.If he did not control himself under this circumstance, he would harm Zoe. That was something he absolutely did not want.Blair crossed his arms and leaned against the door. “When is the wedding?”He paused for a moment and then smiled with a hint of desolation. “I probably won’t be able to attend, but don’t worry. I’ll prepare a gift for you.”Kyle looked at Blair with a complex gaze. He opened his mouth but did not say a word.“Mabes is still in the ward. I’ll leave now.”Blair was worried about Mable being alone. When he saw that Kyle was fine with Zoe there to accompany him, he left.“Ky...” Zoe looked at Kyle. He told her to stay away from him, so she did not dare to approach him.Kyle looked at her and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Let’s go home after the IV drip
“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
