Blair had told Spike he could enter his study at any time to look for books.Thus, after school today, Spike came to Blair’s study to find a book.Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, Blair and Tracey entered.Spike heard them talking about his mother, so he stayed silent and hid behind the bookshelf.Blair approached Spike and immediately crouched down. “Did you hear everything?”Spike nodded, his tears continuing to fall.“Were the things you said true?”Blair nodded. Since Spike heard everything, there was no need to hide it from him anymore.Spike tugged on Blair’s shirt, crying, “Didn’t you say that... that Mommy would be fine?”Blair pulled Spike into his arms, gently wiping away his tears. “I promised you that your mommy would be fine...”Spike hugged his neck. “But... I don’t want anything to happen to you either...”“Spike, we often have to sacrifice a lot for the people we love—time, money, and even our lives. Whatever it is, it’s all worth it as long as it
Blair looked at Tracey, standing by his bedside, and said, “Tell me when Mabes falls asleep tonight. I want to see her.”Perhaps it would be his last time seeing her.Tracey nodded with red eyes. “Okay.”Solomon and Kyle also arrived at the hospital.They looked at Blair with worried expressions.“Master Blair, it’s not too late to turn back,” Solomon said.Blair glanced at him and shook his head faintly.He would not turn back. There was no reason to.As long as he could save Mable, any sacrifice was worth it....In the ward downstairs.Mable saw Tracey enter and asked, “Tracey, did you give him the divorce agreement?”Tracey’s heart clenched, and her eyes flickered, not daring to look at Mable. “Y-Yeah.”Mable nodded. After a while, she asked, “Did he... say anything?”Tracey looked at her and remembered what Blair told her last night, so she said, “He said he’ll get a lawyer to handle the paperwork after he signs, so you don’t have to go to the bureau yourself.”Mabl
Late at night.Blair checked the time; it was almost one in the morning.Usually, Mable would have already been in deep slumber at this hour.Blair stood up, put on his coat, and made his way to Mable’s ward.However, upon pushing open the door, he found an empty bed. There was no sign of Mable in the washroom or the balcony either. Where could she have been at this hour?Blair got extremely worried. He hurried to the nurse’s station to check if the nurses knew about Mable’s whereabouts. Upon learning that Mable was missing, the nurse on duty was also shocked. “What? Mrs. Fowler isn't in her ward? That’s impossible! None of us saw her leaving her ward!” the nurse exclaimed.Realizing that something was wrong, Blair immediately ordered, “Call the security. Check the surveillance cameras now!”He then pulled out his phone to dial Mable’s number, only to hear her ringtone from inside the ward.She did not bring her phone!“Blair, what’s going on?” Tracey asked as she emerge
No traces of Mable were found anywhere.… On the first day of Mable’s disappearance, Blair practically turned the entire Richworth upside down.On the second day, he expanded the search range to the surrounding cities...By the fifth day, the search area had once again expanded to the entire Croquen and neighboring countries.Mable did not have many friends, and Blair knew almost all of them. The one with the closest relationship was Rahman.On the second day of Mable’s disappearance, Blair contacted her. Unaware of the situation, Rahman scolded Blair after which she also began searching everywhere.Even at Secret, Blair had someone secretly monitoring the situation.A week later, Mable’s whereabouts were still unknown.She seemed to have evaporated from the earth, disappearing without a trace and leaving no clues.Even Spike noticed something unusual because his parents had not come home in a week. He wanted to go to the hospital to see his mother, but his aunt would not al
In Richworth, the snow continued to fall for three consecutive days, covering everything in a white expanse forming a world draped in silver.Late at night, Blair returned home and went to the children’s room to check on Spike.Spike was already asleep, holding the teddy bear that his mother bought for him in his arms. His eyelashes were damp, and there were glistening teardrops at the corners of his eyes.Blair silently sat by the bedside, reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corner of Spike’s eyes. He stared at Spike’s face, which bore some resemblance to Mable. Regret filled his eyes.“Mommy…”In his sleep, Spike murmured as his eyebrows furrowed.Blair gently patted Spike’s back, comforting him.After an unknown period, Blair left Spike’s room and returned to the bedroom.He picked up the photo of her and Mable placed on the bedside table, his gaze lingering on Mable.“Mabes, where are you? It’s been thirteen days. Your condition can’t be delayed any longer...“Ma
Blair heard the sound and turned his stiffened head. His sharply defined features revealed no emotion, and his black eyes were like a stagnant pool of water.Tracey patted off the accumulated snow on his shoulder and then reached up to brush away the snowflakes in his hair. “Blair, you…”The next moment, Tracey froze.She widened her eyes, looking at the stark white hair on his head in disbelief. Tears could not help but overflow from her eyes.Blair, with a stiff motion, stood up and felt a sudden wave of dizziness. His body swayed as he fell backward.“Blair!”Tracey shouted and rushed forward to embrace him.With a loud crash, the photo frame in Blair’s hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.On the next day.Early in the morning, Kyle and Solomon received a call from Arthur, learning that Blair had fainted.They rushed to the hospital, and the doctor had just finished examining Blair.Staring at the lifeless man lying on the hospital bed, covered in white hair
“Daddy, we still haven’t found Mommy... You said we’d find her. You can’t lie to me.“Daddy, you promised to teach me programming, and I haven’t finished learning yet…”Hubert tightly gripped his father’s hand, gently shaking it, tears streaming down his face. “Daddy, don’t sleep. Wake up quickly…“Daddy, don’t leave me. I'm scared…”Tracey watched over Blair in the hospital bed and spoke too, “Blair, Hubert needs you. He’s still so young. Can you bear to let him become an orphan at such a young age?“Brother, for Hubert, please, you must wake up.”Nothing happened.Half a month passed quietly.On this day, Solomon came to the hospital to visit Blair.Hubert sat by the hospital bed, holding a book and reading to Blair.Seeing Solomon’s arrival, he closed the book, politely calling out, “Uncle Solomon.”Solomon went over to him and caressed his face. “How is your father today?”Hubert looked at his father lying in the hospital bed and replied, “Daddy is still sleeping.”Sol
Melanie placed one hand on her flat belly, looking down at Zoe with a proud expression, smiling as she spoke, “Ms. White, let me show you something.”As she said this, she took a medical report out of her bag and threw it to Zoe.Zoe furrowed her brows tightly, picked it up, and looked at it, but she could not understand.“What’s this?”“You don’t understand?” Melanie laughed. “Oh dear, I forgot, you’re a fool, of course, you won’t understand.”“You’re the fool!” Zoe retorted, hands on her hips, unreservedly.Kyle said Zoe was not a fool.Melanie did not bother with her and looked at Aunt Laura, who had walked into the room. “Aunt Laura, can you explain to her what this is?”Aunt Laura picked up the medical report and her expression changed instantly.“This…”She looked at Melanie’s stomach. She...she was pregnant with Master’s child?Zoe looked at Aunt Laura and asked, “Aunt Laura, what is this?”Aunt Laura looked at the prenatal checkup sheet, unsure of how to respond.P
