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 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.

It was on the spot where blood was usually drawn.

Mable became nervous right away.

“Aunt Grace, did the family doctor draw my blood last night?"

Aunt Grace nodded. “Yes. Master Blair was worried and wanted the doctor to give you a full body check.”

Mable put down her cutlery and ran upstairs.

Blair's family doctor was Zachary Brooks, the dean of Richworth Medical School.

Since Zachary drew her blood last night, he would have taken it back to the medical school for a lab 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 worry last 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 blood last night for testing...”

Ethan was a doctor at the medical school and had free access to the lab. 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 hospital lab yesterday.

Blair must not find out about the thing in her blood.

However, what if the results were already out and sent to Blair?

Mable was still worried, so she changed her clothes and went to the company to find him.

Fowler Enterprise.

Blair 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 Blair wanted to see her. Overjoyed, she specially dressed up before coming out. She did not expect Mable to be here either.

Mable looked at her askance. “I came to see Blair. Do you think I'm here to see you?"

Beatrice scoffed coldly. “Blair 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, Blair 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, “Blair and I have known each other for more than ten years. He has feelings for me.

“Mable, you know what? Blair 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."
