When Mable woke up, Blair immediately asked the doctor to give her a checkup.
He was only relieved when he learned there was nothing wrong with her body.
Tracey helped Mable sit up. “Mabes, you scared us to death. You were having a nightmare, and we couldn’t wake you up, no matter what.”
Mable’s heart ached as she stared at Tracey’s innocent face.
If only that night five years ago had been a dream.
“I’m sorry, Tracey. I dragged you into this.”
If it was not for Beatrice wanting to take revenge on her, Tracey would not have been captured.
Tracey held Mable’s hand tightly and said with a smile, “Don’t be silly. It wasn’t your fault. If you hadn’t arrived in time, I would’ve been violated. I’m only fine now because of you. You’re my lucky star, Mabes.”
When Mable appeared, it was as if she saw an angel. She felt safe.
Mable loved Tracey’s optimism and cheerfulness. She always smiled and faced everything that happened.
The naive and bright Tracey reminded Mable of how she used to be.
Blair came in with some food and said, “Mabes, have some food.”
“Yeah, Mabes. You haven’t eaten for a day. Have something first.”
Tracey was sensible. She gave them space and snuck away.
When Blair brought the porridge over, wanting to feed Mable, she stopped him. “I’ll do it myself.”
Blair refused. “Don’t move. Your hand is still injured.”
Mable looked at her bandaged right hand and smiled. “This is nothing.”
She had worse injuries before.
Blair frowned and stayed silent as he fed her.
After Mable was done eating, he sat by the bed and looked seriously at her.
“Why didn’t you tell me what happened last night?!”
Mable looked at him and answered, “It happened suddenly, so I didn’t think much about it. Besides, they asked me to go there myself. I was afraid they’d harm Tracey if there were more people—”
Blair punched the mattress. “Did you not think about your safety?!”
Mable was startled for a while. She stared at his angry eyes and said, “You should know I can protect myself.”
“What if?!”
While Blair believed in her abilities, anything could happen.
