Blair’s eyes darkened. He said after a moment of silence, “Rahman fired a shot at me.”
Mable was shocked and thought he had been shot. “Then you…?”
Blair smiled faintly. “I dodged it.”
Mable rolled her eyes at him. “...Childish!”
Blair gently caressed her head with guilt. “Mabes, I’m sorry.”
Mable looked at him and knew he meant the Ice Jade Flower. She asked, “You knew the Ice Jade Flower was fake?”
“No!”
How could Blair have given it to her if he knew it was fake?
Mable chuckled. “Then there’s no need to apologize.”
She knew it had nothing to do with Blair. The problem was with Salomon.
“Don’t worry. I’ll find out.”
Blair added after a short pause, “I’ll also get the real Ice Jade Flower for you.”
Mable looked outside the window. “Blair, you don’t need to do this.”
Blair looked at her and said gently, “But I want to. You don’t have to feel pressured.”
Mable still wanted to say something. However, Blair stood up and said, “Rest for a while. I’ll have someone send some food up.”
She nodded.
Before long, Blair walked up with a tray.
As Mable had her stomach cleansed last night, her stomach was still very uncomfortable. Although she was hungry, she did not have much of an appetite. She could not eat more than half a bowl of porridge.
Even though it was turning dark outside, Blair was still sitting on the edge of the bed with no intention of leaving. Mable looked at him and said, “Blair, I’m fine now. You should go back.”
Blair’s dark eye circles were heavy, and his eyes were slightly red. It was obvious that he had not been resting.
“Mm.”
Blair responded but did not move.
‘Well, leave!’
