Chapter 139
Ashdale.
After Solomon left, Mable hesitated for a night before finally calling Blair.
The phone rang for a long time, and no one answered.
She called him again.
This time, the call was quickly picked up.
"Hello?"
Blair's attractive voice was heard. However, there were no emotions.
Mable asked, "Why didn't you answer the phone just now?"
Blair gave a short response, "Busy."
"Oh."
Mable was about to ask about him when he asked, "Can I help you?"
He sounded cold and distant.
Mable was startled. Was he not being too cold?
"I just wanted to thank you. I've taken the Ice Jade Flower you had Solomon send over. Thanks."
"...Mm."
Blair stopped talking, and Mable did not know what to say anymore.
The two kept quiet until Mable broke the silence and asked, "Blair, are you okay?"
Blair was being unusual. Hence, she was worried he was hurt.
Blair answered, "I'm very well."
He was still cold and did not talk much.

"Is there anything else?" Blair asked.
Mable replied to him, "...Nothing."
"Mm, I still have things to do. I'm hanging up."
Before Mable could say anything else, beeping sounds came from the phone.
She looked at her phone, disappointed.
Just when she got used to Blair's gentleness, he was suddenly cold to her.
Mable smacked her forehead and scolded herself for being cheap.
It was she who pushed Blair away. Now that he was ignoring her, she was disappointed instead.
'What's there to be disappointed about?!'
"Miss."
The maid downstairs walked up.
"Quickly go and take a look-Old Master is awake."
'Grandpa is awake?!'
When Mable heard that, she forgot about Blair and immediately went to the small courtyard where her grandpa was.
As soon as she entered, she saw her grandpa sitting up. The doctor arrived one step ahead of her and was examining him.
"Grandpa, you're finally awake."
"Mabes."
Ralph looked at his granddaughter, who was "back from the dead", hurriedly reached out. He
agitated to the point of was eling!
"Come over and let me take a look at you. You're still alive!"This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Mable held his wrinkly hands and also became teary. "Grandpa, I'm not dead-I'm alive and well."
"It's good that you're alive... It's good that you're alive. I'm relieved as long as you're fine."
The doctor gave Ralph a full body
checkup before stating that the residual poison in his body was almost cleared. Moreover, he needed to keep an eye on his health and recuperate for a few more days before he could return to normal.
Mable also took her grandpa's pulse. Apart from still being a little weak, he was fine.
"Mabes, where have you been these past two years? Since you're fine, why didn't you contact me to tell me you're safe?" Ralph looked at her and asked.
"I'm sorry
years or worrying you, Grandpa.

Mable looked at him with guilt. She felt bad for making him worry about her in his old age.
"I see."
Ralph sighed and lovingly stroked her hair. "Are you alright now?"
"I'm fine, all recovered."
"That's good."
