"Caleb, what about me?" Penelope sprang up again, this time grabbing his arm."Let go of me!" Caleb gave her a chilly stare devoid of emotion.Caleb's stern glare terrified Penelope, so she could only gently loosen her grip."Let me repeat myself one more time. Do not tell anyone what happened last night!" Caleb was still unsettled."Yes, I know." Penelope rubbed her face pitifully while looking up at Caleb.Caleb left hurriedly, seeing as he no longer wished to be around Penelope.When the door closed, Penelope's expression shifted back to irritation.She plopped onto the bed while examining the amazing photos taken the night before on her phone. Then, she laughed loudly.Caleb, on the other hand, took the elevator to the lobby, where the reception counter was at."I've lost something very important, please check last night's surveillance!" Caleb walked over to the front desk and demanded. He wanted to see what happened last night through the surveillance cameras.His sudden
"Why don't you go to work?" Caleb began with a tentative question."Mr. Lane, I thought you and Ms. Ferguson had broken up. That's why I agreed to help you out. Now that you guys are back together, you shouldn't need me anymore. Our marriage is nothing but a sham."Ember forced herself to keep her emotions in check as she spoke flatly."Just hear me out, alright? Last night—""It's fine. You don't need to explain to me either. This is just a contractual marriage. We'll be divorced after a year." Ember took a deep breath and closed her eyes in order to conceal her emotions."It's not like that! Ember, please trust me" Caleb, who was becoming increasingly emotional, went up and hugged Ember."Don't touch me! You are filthy!" Ember pushed Caleb away with all her strength."Mr. Lane, didn't you two spend the night together? There's no need to explain anything to me." Ember opened her cell phone again, this time to display Caleb those awful photographs."What the..." Caleb had the
Avery seemed to have noticed something at this point. He turned his head to meet Caleb's eyes and then swiftly averted his gaze. Although Avery had a displeased expression written all over his face, he looked quite cute.Avery was murmuring at the time. His face was so chubby that anyone couldn't help but pinch it.''What are you doing here? Mommy will be back later. She'll be mad if she sees you, so hurry up and leave!" he stated angrily.Ember had been in a bad mood for the past two days due to the incident, and Avery didn't want his father to add to his mother's worries.Caleb didn't take Avery’s repulsion seriously.Caleb became rather worried upon seeing his amused and irritated countenance. He decided to sit on the bed and say, in a fairly humiliating tone, "Avery, I came here this time because I want you to help me explain to your mommy that things aren't as she thinks.""Those photos are so realistic. Are you going to say they're photoshopped too?" Avery remarked righteou
"Find out who's behind this at all costs!" Caleb spoke in a frigid tone. His dark eyes seemed to be capable of reading people's hearts and souls.Hank walked in after Allen had just left.Caleb looked at him, his fingers pinching a cigarette and flicking down the ash. Right now, he was very unhappy."Mr. Lane, shouldn't you give me an explanation for what happened with Penelope?" Hank sat on the couch and asked with a grin.Before Caleb had the opportunity to reply, Hank continued, "Things between you and Penelope have already progressed to this point. Shouldn't you take responsibility for her?"Caleb snorted harshly. That old man was definitely shrewd and sly for imposing this marriage on him so quickly."Then, what do you think I should do?" Amusement danced in Caleb's eyes as he asked faintly without any emotion."You and Penelope have been together for so many years. Why not take this opportunity to announce the news of your marriage which can tie both of our families toget
Ember said, "Avery, I'm going to your great grandmother's house. Something happened to her. Can you stay at home alone? I promise I'll be back soon.""Don't worry, Mommy. I'll be fine."Ember was worried. After leaving the house, she flagged down a cab and headed to Lane Manor.She frowned when she glanced at the watch. Then, she turned to look at the driver. "Faster, please."The driver glanced in the rearview mirror. He guessed that Ember must be in a hurry after spotting her nervous expression.The driver stepped on the gas pedal. They arrived at the destination in ten minutes instead of the usual twenty minutes.Upon reaching Lane Manor, Ember checked on Eva."Hurry and call an ambulance!"Eva had already passed out. If Ember did not seize the time for treatment, Eva might lose her life.The servant was in a hurry and anxious.Caleb rushed back in time.Seeing Eva had passed out, he quickly picked her up.Caleb looked tired after dealing with the scandal and looked for
Annoyed, Caleb said indifferently, "Penelope, you should leave now. Take him with you."Penelope was offended. Caleb was gentle when he talked to Ember, yet he sounded so cold and distant when he talked to Penelope. She clenched her fists tightly while glaring at Ember.Ember did not say anything. She put the medicine on the chair and left after waving at them.Caleb warned furiously, "Penelope, please behave and stay away from me."He turned around to go after Ember.Suddenly, Caleb's vision went dark. He then fainted.Penelope reacted quickly by catching him in her arms. She muttered, "Caleb, stay with me..."At the same time, Ember came back to get something and witnessed the scene.Anxiety took over her for a split second, but she soon calmed down.Penelope cradled Caleb's face affectionately while looking at Ember like a winner.Dull pain spread from Ember's heart at that moment. She turned and left.Penelope was overjoyed to see Ember looking so deflated."Dr. N, wh
Caleb went to Maeve's office after he reached Haverhill Hospital, "Ms. Knight, I want Dr. Sanders to take my case."Maeve frowned, still holding her pen. Then, she smiled. "Mr. Lane, it's not my call. Dr. Sanders's famous, you know. She has many patients to take care of. Let me ask if she has time to take your case."Caleb got her prevarication and nodded, "Okay."Maeve left and went to Ember's office.Ember was prescribing medicine for a patient. She was stunned when she raised her head and saw Maeve."Take this and go to the pharmacy."After the patient left, Maeve stated, "Caleb came to me just now and wanted you to take his case."Ember felt ridiculous when she thought of the scene when Caleb fell into Penelope's arms.Did the fake Dr. N disappoint Caleb? He should be enough to take care of him, after all."Sorry, Ms. Knight. I'm busy. I don't have time for his case."Caleb leaned against the door frame with his head tilted as he gazed at Ember. He asked, "Are you not e
Ember knew she couldn't get her point across to an idiot like Penelope.She stood up and walked over to the fake Dr. N. A sneer traced her lips as she spat out, "We'll know soon. How about another test, Dr. N?"Last time, Eva's symptoms were visible. This fake Dr. N knew modern medicine.This time, Ember decided to try the alternative way. The actual Dr. N should be an expert in both.Panic flashed across Dr. N's eyes at that moment. His eyes darted everywhere before he glanced at Penelope.Penelope sneered back in disdain. "Excuse me? Dr. N has proved himself. You can't change anything with another attempt. Dr. N is ready for all challenges."Dr. N was amazed by Penelope's stupidity. Was she blind? He never said that. There was even a trace of reluctance in his eyes.Still, he put on a confident façade. "It's not too late to give up."Ember smacked her lips before asking, "Don't you feel guilty when you say that?"This time, they had to tell the health condition of a patient.
