Chapter 71
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 upst 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 disappearedpletely.
How did it get better so quickly this time?
‘It was probably because the concentration of the sedative Ethan usedst night was rtively
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 ir looked after her all nightst night.
She only remembered that he carried her into the bathroom to soak in a hot bath. He also kissed
her, but she fell asleep after that.
She could not remember anything else.
“Eh?” While eating breakfast, Mable suddenly noticed a needle mark on her left arm.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
It was on the spot where blood was usually drawn.
Mable became nervous right away.
“Aunt Grace, did the family doctor draw my bloodst night?”
Aunt Grace nodded. “Yes. Master ir was worried and wanted the doctor to give you a full body
check.”
Mable put down her cutlery and ran upstairs.
ir’s family doctor was Zachary Brooks, the dean of Richworth Medical School.
Since Zachary drew her bloodst night, he would have taken it back to the medical school for ab
test.
Mable found Ethan’s number in her contact list and called him.
When the call went through, Ethan hurriedly asked before Mable could speak, “Professor Jefferson,
are you okay?”
Mable answered, “I’m fine. I’m sorry I made you worryst night.”
“It’s good that you’re fine…”
“Dr. Miller, I’d like to ask you for a favor.”
Ethan did not hesitate. “Go ahead.”
Mable held the phone tightly with sweaty palms. “Zachary Brooks, the dean of your hospital, drew
my bloodst night for testing…”
Ethan was a doctor at the medical school and had free ess to theb. If he was willing to help
Mable, he should be able to switch her blood test results.
After Mable finished, Ethan fell silent for a while before he said, “Okay. I’ll help you.”
“Thank you, Dr. Miller.”
Mable hung up and sat powerlessly on the sofa.
She could only hope nobody worked through the night in the hospitalb yesterday.
ir must not find out about the thing in her blood.
However, what if the results were already out and sent to ir?
Mable was still worried, so she changed her clothes and went to thepany to find him.
…
Fowler Enterprise.
ir was in a meeting. While Mable did not see him, she saw Beatrice dressed extravagantly in his
office.
“What are you doing here?” Beatrice stared at Mable, not hiding her hatred for her.
Amos called her this morning and said that ir wanted to see her. Overjoyed, she specially
dressed up beforeing out. She did not expect Mable to be here either.
Mable looked at her askance. “I came to see ir. Do you think I’m here to see you?”
Beatrice scoffed coldly. “ir doesn’t love you. If you continue pestering him like this, it’ll only make
him hate you more.”
Mable smiled faintly. “He doesn’t love me, but he doesn’t love you either. Why are you so proud?”
Beatrice was furious. “If not for you, ir would’ve fallen in love with me!”
If Mable had not suddenly appeared, she would have been Mrs. Fowler by now.
Beatrice calmed down and said to Mable, “ir and I have known each other for more than ten
years. He has feelings for me.
“Mable, you know what? ir asked me here today. He said he had something important to tell me.”
‘He must’ve seen the pictures I sent him and now knows Mable’s true colors. So, he’s finally going
to listen to Uncle Luke and Aunt Martha and marry me instead.’
