Tracey nodded and suddenly thought of something. She asked, "ir, Dad wouldn''t let Anthony meddle in thepany''s affairs, right?" "That''s hard to say."


    ir said coldly, "After all, he always acts unexpectedly."


    Tracey frowned hard and said nothing.


    After not having rested all night, Mable slept especially well.


    When her phone suddenly rang, it woke her up.


    Mable thought it was the rm clock going off. She picked up her phone only to realize it was a phone call.


    It was an unfamiliar foreign number starting with 0.


    Mable sat up and scratched her hair before answering the call.


    "Hello?"


    No one answered on the other end of the phone.


    "Hello?"


    Mable spoke again, but there was still no response.


    She looked at her phone and saw that the call was still on.


    At this time, the bedroom door opened.


    ir walked in to find Mable looking dazed while sitting on the bed with her phone.


    "You''re awake?"


    "Mm."


    Mable rubbed her eyes and said to the caller again, "Hello? Who''s this?"


    Still, no one spoke.


    "Who''s calling?" ir asked.


    Mable yawned and shook her head. "No one is talking. The person must''ve made a wrong call."


    She hung up the phone.


    When she saw the time and noticed it was almost 5:00 pm, she was surprised. "Huh? It''s sote. Why didn''t my rm go off?"


    "I turned it off."


    ir sat on the edge of the bed and touched Mable''s eyes. "You''ve been too tired these past two days. You need to rest and rx."


    Mable stretched and said, "I''m fully recharged now. If all goes well, I''ll have the antidote ready by this time tomorrow."


    ir nodded. He paused for a while before he asked, "Mabes, was Anthony the one who told you about the Ice Jade Flower?"


    Mable was stunned. However, she


    did not try to hide it from him. She nodded, responding, "Mm, I went t


    the traditional Chinese meet


    market to buy some herbs. Hisz assistant suddenly came up to me, saying he wanted to meet me, so I went." Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ir asked, "What else did he tell you apart from the Ice Jade Flower?"


    "He also told me about your rtionship. I learned he''s your half-brother. Also, I always thought you and Tracey were actual siblings."


    Mable recalled the way


    Martha


    spoke to Tracey thest time she


    was in Ashdale. At that time, she


    found it strange how a mother could say her daughter was ungrateful. Now, she understood that Tracey was not Martha''s biological daughter.


    ir fiddled with Mable''s hands. "Trace''s mom died duringbor, so Tracey was raised by my mom as soon as she was born."


    Mable asked, "How''s your rtionship with Anthony?"


    ir answered after some thought, "An enemy and not a friend."


    Mable nodded and smiled faintly. "He persuaded me to remarry you and said he doesn''t want to see you hurt by love. I almost thought you had a good rtionship with each other."


    "Is that so?" ir raised his eyebrow.


    "Anthony is a scheming person. His words can''t be easily trusted.


    "I never used to pay attention to him, but after this incident, I''m afraid I can''t underestimate him anymore."


    ir paused and grinned as he continued, "But you can consider his advice."


    Mable was speechless.


    ''Remarriage?''


    "I don''t want to consider that now."


    She got out of bed and washed up before heading to the dispensing room.
