“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.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
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 quite right tonight. He was looking coldly at her, making her feel uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong with— Ah!”
Just as Mable got close, Blair pulled her arms hard and pressed her onto the sofa.
He firmly gripped her wrists and raised them above her head. Afterward, he kissed her passionately.
“Blair… Let go of me… Don’t… Mmph!”
Mable struggled hard against his rough kiss.
“Who do you want if not me?!”
Blair pinched her chin. “Mable, you promised me you’d only stay by my side for these six months!”
Mable lifted her leg to kick him. “I promised to stay by your side, not to be your sex partner!”
Blair grabbed her calf and lifted her dress.
“Mable, you provoked me first.”
Blair had his sanity washed away by jealousy.
Whenever he thought of Mable being together with another man, he would go crazy from jealousy.
“I didn’t provoke—”
“You pursued me for two years when we were married!”
Blair lowered his head and bit her lip. He was itching to devour her.
The taste of blood lingered between Mable’s lips and tongue. Finally, she came back to her senses and could not take it anymore. She broke free from Blair’s grip and slapped him in the face.
“Blair, who are you to treat me like that?!”
Blair was stunned.
“Yes, I pursued you for two years, but how did you treat me in those two years?!
“To see you, I waited all night for you outside your office building in the middle of winter, but you didn’t even look at me.
“I learned to cook for a month just to make you lunch. All my fingers were either burned or cut, but you threw my food away anyway.
“I saw on TV that men like obedient women, so I listened to everything you said even if I didn’t want to.
“I wanted to please you. So, I never complained a word to you, even when I was hospitalized from being bullied by your mom and her servants.
“Blair, I once loved you so much that I wished to lay my heart bare before you. However, you repeatedly trampled on my sincere feelings!”
Mable pushed him away and shouted while pointing at him. “What right do you have now to demand that I continue to love you? Who do you think you are?!”
Blair looked coldly at Mable and recalled everything she said.
She used to love him so much. Why did she not love him anymore, then?
He caressed her face with a cold look in his eyes. “Well, Mable, you’ve piqued my interest. So, you have to be responsible until the end!”
Mable’s heart ached.
She knew Blair could not possibly be in love with her.
All he had for her was interest.
He found her interesting because her personality changed after she regained her memories, which was why he was pestering her.
“No way! Don’t even think about it for the rest of your life!”
Mable yelled and forcefully escaped from Blair. She ran out of the villa.
