“This Friday,” Ethan answered. Mable nodded. “Email me a copy of the case. I’ll be the main surgeon for the operation.” Ethan was grateful. “Professor Jefferson, thank you on behalf of the patient.” He had a lot of respect for Mable, his mentor and friend. Since she would be in charge of the surgery, he was relieved. Mable smiled faintly. “There’s no need to thank me. I’ll be collecting a consultation fee, after all.” Once they were done discussing the matter, Ethan treated Mable to a simple meal. Following that, Mable returned to the Royal View Villa. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Blair sitting on the living room sofa. “You’re back.” ‘Didn’t he say he’s going to be working late today?’ Blair looked up and stared gloomily at her delicate features. “Where did you go?” “I went to meet a friend,” Mable casually answered. “A guy?” Mable raised her eyebrow. “Mm.” Blair lifted his hand. “Come here!” Mable was sharp to notice that his mood was not q
Mable’s heart hurt. It hurt so much that she was about to suffocate. She ran out of the villa and fell to the ground within two minutes. The excruciating pain was so unbearable that she wanted to die. All of a sudden, it was pouring with lightning and thunder. Mable curled up and knelt on the ground. The immense pain from her heart made her spasm uncontrollably. The thing in her blood must be acting up again! This time, it was more vicious and painful than before. It was an indescribable pain that spread bit by bit from her heart, stimulating every nerve, every cell, and every inch of her skin. It was even more unbearable than being skinned or having her bones chipped. Mable wanted to call for help but realized she had run out without her phone. There was a rumble in the sky. In an instant, it started raining even heavier. The pain continued intensifying… However, her consciousness was clear. This was the poison’s feature. The more painful it was, the more
“...Okay,” Ethan responded. After getting his reply, Mable’s hands hung powerlessly. She had used up all her strength to utter those words. Ethan was about to go downstairs when the bedroom door was pushed open. Next, Blair walked in with a cold aura. It was raining, and Mable did not have her phone with her. He chased after her as he was worried about her. Afterward, he saw a man carrying her into the car. It was the same man she met in the afternoon. Blair suppressed his urge to punch Ethan. He looked past him and fixed his gaze on Mable lying on the bed. She was drenched, her face was pale, and she was trembling as if she was enduring great pain. “Mable!” Seeing Mable in such a state, Blair cast his anger aside and rushed over. “Mable! Mable!” “Mmph!” Mable twitched as soon as Blair gripped her hand. ‘It hurts so much!’ “Master Blair, you—” Ethan tried to step forward to stop Blair but was pushed away. “Ethan Miller, how dare you touch her?!” Etha
When Mable woke up, it was the next morning. She sat up to look at the time. It was 9:30 am. Only ten hours had passed since the poison acted up last night. Every time it happened in the past, even after taking sedatives, the excruciating pain would torment her for a whole day.Only after that would the pain slowly decrease until it disappeared completely. How did it get better so quickly this time? ‘It was probably because the concentration of the sedative Ethan used last night was relatively high.’However, Mable did not think much about it. She went to the bathroom to wash up and saw that her eyes had returned to their normal color. She was relieved. It seemed she got through it this time. When she went downstairs for breakfast, Aunt Grace was the only one in the living room. It was there Mable heard from her that Blair looked after her all night last night. She only remembered that he carried her into the bathroom to soak in a hot bath. He also kissed her, but s
‘That must be it!’ Beatrice fantasized and smiled brighter. “Mable, believe it or not, Blair will kick you out if I tell him to!” Mable looked faintly at her as if she was looking at a retard. “Try it then!” Soon, Blair adjourned the meeting and returned to his office. He had obviously not expected Mable to come. He froze for a moment and then frowned. Mable noticed his expression, and her heart ached for no reason. She figured he was probably still angry about last night. Mable stood up. Before she could say anything, Blair pointed at the door and said coldly, “Get out!” Mable was stunned. On the other hand, Beatrice was overjoyed. She had not said anything, but Blair already asked Mable to go out. It seemed like he had gotten sick of her. ‘This is great!’ Beatrice thought to herself. Mable stared at Blair’s cold eyes and pursed her lips. Beatrice won! Though Mable could not compare to Liv, even Beatrice was more important to Blair. She suddenly felt ri
Beatrice listened to her dad yell, and her body turned cold. Her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground with a thud. “Blair, I’m so sorry… I’m sorry, I was wrong…” Blair did not give her a chance to plead for mercy. He directly dialed the intercom and had security take her away. Afterward, Amos walked in. “Master Blair, Ms. Jefferson left.” As Blair ran out, Mable entered the elevator. He frowned and picked up his phone to call her. However, he was redirected to the voicemail as she was on a call. … Mable left Fowler Enterprise and called Ethan to meet up. Ethan handed her a folder when she arrived at the agreed-upon cafe. “I made a fake blood test report of a healthy person and switched yours with it. No one noticed.” Mable took the document. “Thanks.” “You’re welcome.” Ethan adjusted his glasses and looked at the document in her hand. “Professor Jefferson, I looked at your report when I switched it.” Mable knew he would definitely have seen the conten
Rahman yawned. “What’s so urgent?” Mable told him briefly about the matter. Rahman fell silent after hearing what she said. He sounded serious as he said, “I don’t know anything about this. I didn’t do it!” Mable frowned. Who could it be if it was not Rahman? “Mabes, didn’t you say last time that that thing hasn’t flared up in two years? Why did it flare up so badly this time?” Compared to whoever switched her blood test report, he was more concerned about Mable’s condition. Mable pinched the spot between her eyebrows. “Maybe I’ve been too tired lately.” She also could not figure out why it suddenly reappeared last night. Moreover, it was so violent, leaving her completely defenseless. Rahman said, “Mabes, you must learn to control your emotions.” The attack was largely related to one’s emotions. The greater one’s mood swings, the easier it was for an attack to happen. “Mm.” Mable paused and asked. “Any news on Frank?” “We’re still checking, but there’s no n
It was Luke who called, asking Blair to go home immediately. “Let’s just talk on the phone.” After all, Blair did not want to go back. Ever since his grandpa passed away, he only returned to the Fowler Residence during Christmas. Just like Mable, he did not have a good feeling about that place. “Did you break off our collaboration with Stanton Enterprise?! Who allowed you to do that, huh?!” Luke was furious. The Fowlers and the Stantons had been friends for decades and cooperated frequently in the business industry. Beatrice was even Luke’s favored candidate for a daughter-in-law. With what he did, Blair was simply disrespecting the Stantons. What was worse was that the other companies cooperating with Fowler Enterprise also stopped working with Stanton Enterprise after learning that Blair broke off the collaboration with Stanton Enterprise. In just a day, Stanton Enterprise was in jeopardy. Blair asked coldly, “Do I need to ask for permission?” Luke was so mad that h
