Semua Bab Master Blair's Fiery Pursuit: Bab 861 - Bab 870

The private doctor of the Goodman family, Michael, arrived promptly. Mable was in the bedroom, tending to Zoe's injuries, while Michael attended to Kyle's wounds outside.Blair sat on the couch downstairs, glancing nonchalantly at the Goodmans, eventually gazing at Kyle's father."Uncle, the Goodman family matters are not within my purview, but my company has been quite busy recently, and I can't do without Kyle, my right-hand man. So, I hope you can be lenient considering my request," Blair calmly stated.Kyle's father sighed, regretting his earlier actions. He had thought that a few lashes would be enough to make Kyle yield, but little did he know that Kyle endured seven of them. As a father, seeing his only son subjected to such punishment gave him heartache."This boy is getting out of hand as he grows older. He's becoming more unruly!" Kyle's father remarked.Blair smiled and responded, "Uncle, you should find solace in Kyle being a responsible and principled young man. I

Kyle anxiously waited outside the bedroom. The memory of Zoe rushing to shield him from the whip haunted him. He felt more anguish about it than the pain inflicted on his back. Monica stood by the door, alternating between watching the doctor tend to his injuries and worrying about Zoe's well-being.Finally, the bedroom door opened, and Mable emerged. Kyle asked nervously, "Mable, how is Zoe?"Mable replied, "She's awake, and I've treated her wounds. But she's frail at the moment, and she needs some rest.""I want to see her," Kyle said, eager to check on Zoe.However, Michael, the doctor, tried to stop him. “Young Master, wait. Your injuries were not fully treated yet.”Mable raised her hand to stop Kyle from entering and said concernedly, "Let's take care of your injuries properly before you see her. We don't want her to worry when she sees your wounds."Monica chimed in. "Yes, dear. Please don't rush. Let Michael finish treating your injuries."Kyle then looked at Michael an

Monica could not shake off the image of the whip marks on her son's back, and it made her heart ache deeply. Her eyes turned red as she glared at her husband."That's our son! You called for family discipline without showing any mercy! Let me tell you, if anything happens to Kyle because of this, I won't let you off the hook!" Monica said with fierce determination.Floyd sighed, his face filled with regret. "I'm already tormented by what I did. Do you think I'm not feeling pain from the sight of the whip marks on him?"Monica continued, "If Kyle doesn't like Melanie, we shouldn't force him. Even if he reluctantly marries her, they won't be happy together."Floyd nodded. "I've already spoken to Klay. The engagement between Melanie and Kyle has been canceled."No parent wished for their child to have an unhappy marriage, and although they believed Melanie and Kyle were a good match, they could not force Kyle into a loveless marriage.Monica wiped away her tears and looked at her hu

Upon seeing Monica enter, Kyle instinctively shielded Zoe behind him. "Mom, is there something you need?"Monica appeared somewhat displeased, not only with Zoe's cautious demeanor but also with her son's defensive stance. She coldly retorted, "Can't I come to check on Zoe? Do you think I'm a tiger that might eat her?"Kyle felt somewhat helpless and explained, "Mom, that's not what I meant."Monica huffed. "I can see it in your attitude."She then approached the bed and looked at Zoe, forcing a faint smile. "Zoe, don't be afraid. I won't harm you. I'm just here to see you. Is your back still hurting?"Zoe shook her head weakly and replied, "It doesn't hurt anymore. Mabes had applied some medicine earlier.""That's good." Monica nodded. She could not help but sigh as she looked at Zoe's frail appearance. "I had the chef prepare some nourishing food for you. It will be sent up shortly. You should eat more."Monica then shifted her gaze to her son and remarked, "Have you been negl

Zoe found it hard to adapt in the Goodman Residence. Although Kyle's parents no longer opposed her relationship with Kyle, the unfamiliar surroundings still made her uneasy. Kyle brought her back to his villa once she had recovered a little.He brought his work home to spend more time with Zoe and allow himself to heal.One afternoon, while Kyle was working in the study, Zoe watched TV in the living room and decided not to disturb him.The doorbell rang, and Aunt Laura answered it. Soon after, Melanie entered the house."Ms. Zepher, Master Kyle is working upstairs. Please wait for a moment, and I'll inform him," Aunt Laura said."Alright, Aunt Laura." Melanie nodded and glanced at Zoe sideways.While Aunt Laura went upstairs, Melanie asked Zoe, "Ms. White, is the injury on your back getting better?"Zoe nodded in response but chose to remain silent. She did not like Melanie and had no intention of conversing with her.Melanie noticed the necklace around Zoe's neck, which she
