After cleaning Mable, ir changed the wet sheet and covers before carrying her out.


    Mable felt better, but her body had no strength.


    ir put the nket over her and gently caressed her cheeks, which had regained a bit of color. "I''ll ask the doctor toe in and take a look at you again, okay?" "No need."


    Mable was fine.


    She had gotten through the most painful moment. After resting for a while, she would be as good as new.


    Mable held ir''s hand. "ir, lie with me for a while."


    ''This is thest time.


    ''I guarantee that this is thest time.''


    ir could not refuse such a request from her. So, hey down beside her and embraced her.


    Mable closed her eyes and found afortable spot in his arms.


    ir stared at her and asked after a moment of silence. "Mabes, why haven''t I heard you talk about your old illness?"


    Mable casually answered after some thought, "I was injured abroad. It''s old and not a big deal."


    ir clenched his fists to conceal his anger. "How is this not a big deal?! You were in so much pain!"


    "It''s not a big deal if I can''t die from it."


    "Mabes..."


    Mable suddenly raised her hand to cover his eyes.


    Next, she opened her eyes and kissed him.


    ir froze.


    Mable gently kissed him, savoring his wine-scented breath.


    The bedroom curtains were not drawn, so the sunlight shone on ir''s well-defined and handsome face. Only one side of ir''s face was in the light, while the other half was in the dark. It was mesmerizing. Mable stared obsessively at his face. She liked him very much.


    She liked him so much that the thought of him loving another woman deeply made her heart ache.


    Mable''s eyes became teary again. She forced herself not to think about Liv and kissed ir again.


    ir was sharp to notice that she was being unusual. He wanted to move her hand away. "Mabes, what''s wrong...?"


    "If you have so much to say, why don''t you kiss me instead?"


    Mable spoke in a husky voice. Her tantalizing breath aroused ir.


    He held her slender waist and turned to pin her down on the bed. Afterward, he lowered his head to kiss her. "As you wish!"


    Unlike Mable''s gentle kiss just now, ir''s kiss was overbearing.


    She could always easily provoke his desire. A kiss or a word from her could make him defenseless.


    In the living room downstairs.


    Tracey stared at Arthur, who had returned with ir. She widened her eyes.


    She had not expected ir to transfer Arthur back so soon.


    Even so, Tracey could not care less about being happy as she was worried about Mable.


    "Ethan, how did you and Mable meet?"


    Tracey asked Ethan, who was organizing the medical kit.


    The Millers were one of the most powerful families in Richworth. While they had known each other since they were young, Ethan was a nerd who only liked studying medicine in theb. Since he disliked socializing, he did not hang out with them.


    "I worked with her when I was abroad."


    Tracey nodded. No wonder they were so familiar with each other.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    "By the way, are you aware of Mabes'' situation? What kind of illness does she have?"


    Ethan shook his head.


    He had promised Mable to keep her

    secret. Although he, too, did not


    Smuch about her

    chose to remain tent


    Tracey frowned hard. "You don''t know either? Mabes asked me


    call you. I thought you knew we het


    was wrong with her."


    Ethan also wanted to know what illness Mable had.


    He had seen her blood test report. Apart from anemia, there was nothing wrong with her.
