Finally, Penelope agreed to the plan. Soon, she returned to Lane Group.

There, Caleb presented her with the next plan to cooperate with the Fergusons. She was pleased, thinking that Caleb had finally figured it out and was eager to cooperate with her family for her sake.

In truth, Caleb was merely setting up a trap.

But this moron, Penelope, was wholly convinced that Caleb was on her side. She was even thrilled.

The two families needed to attend a cocktail party in order to discuss cooperation.

As the heiress of Ferguson Group, Penelope also attended the party.

Those on the sidelines were envious when Penelope and Caleb entered the restaurant together.

"Mr. Lane and Ms. Ferguson make a matching couple."

"Yes. It's really rare to see women as beautiful and gentle as Ms Penelope. You're really lucky, Mr. Lane."

Penelope was immersed in the compliments as they crossed the hall.

She reached out her hand to take Caleb's, only for him to take a step back. He acted as if he wasn't c

    Ember pursed her lips and remained silent."Mommy, Daddy is already miserable, so just go see him, okay?" Avery had an inkling of what happened. He gripped Ember by the wrist and shook it gently.She felt helpless and had no choice but to agree.Soon, Ember dashed to the hospital. Allen was overjoyed to see her."Madam, you finally came. Just now I tried everything, but Mr. Lane refused to take the medicine at all. The doctor said that if he drags it on like this, his condition will deteriorate..."Ember's heart eventually softened. She gazed at the unconscious man on the bed, noting the sadness on his face.She then turned to look at Allen while saying, "Give me the medicine. It's late now, so you should go home first."Ember took the pill and fed it to Caleb smoothly. She had a feeling that Allen was lying.Having detected a familiar scent, Caleb's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.Ember had considered leaving after administering the medication, but the sight of Caleb still

    Ember was moved. As soon as she held Avery in her arms, tears welled up in her eyes.She forced herself to hold back her tears.Avery noticed her sadness and hugged her tightly without letting go. He was very mature for a kid his age."Mommy, don't be sad. Avery will always be on your side. Next time, I'll help you teach Daddy a good lesson!" he said solemnly.Ember composed herself and kissed Avery on the cheek.After arriving at the hospital, Ember found Lugh sitting in her office.It appeared that the nurse checking in on Caleb overheard her and Caleb arguing early this morning. She had hidden next to the doorway and never went in."Ember, I've heard about what happened between you and Caleb. If you want to get rid of him as soon as possible, I'll help you," Luch said, clearly concerned.Ember smiled bitterly as she shook her head helplessly. Then, she explained, "Caleb threatened me with divorce and wants custody of Avery. You know Avery is my life. I can't live without him

    Avery admired Lugh a lot. At the same time, he also resented Caleb, who only succeeded to pissing Ember off every day. That man should learn from Lugh!Ember looked at this loving scene and took out her phone to take a photo of it.She owed Avery too much over the past few years because of her own job. Not to mention, she rarely took Avery out to have fun together. She wasn't qualified to be a mother.When Avery noticed Ember fidgeting alone, he exclaimed, "Mommy, come over and fly a kite with me."Many others had gathered at the picnic spot, and they couldn't help but feel envious of the trio."Aww, you three make a great family! I'm so jealous of you! Your child is adorable!"Seeing as the passersby had completely misunderstood their relationship, the bashful Ember wanted to clear things up.But at that moment, Avery piped up, "Of course! Mommy loves me!"Ember gave an embarrassed smile to the onlookers before covering his mouth.Avery understood he'd said the wrong thing. H

    Hank couldn't help but slam a hand onto the table. He roared, "My daughter has gone to great lengths for you! How dare you give up on a lucrative business and even resort to terminate the contract with Ferguson Corp for the sake of an unknown woman!"Caleb had been extremely calm until he heard him chastise Ember. His face turned sour, and he frowned deeply in response. He took a drag from his cigarette before speaking up, "Mr. Ferguson, do you really think that I don't know what you and Penelope are doing?"Hank was surprised, though he soon calmed down. He huffed coldly in return. "Penelope has been waiting for you for so long, but you've been keeping her waiting for far too long! I just want her to have a proper status in her relationship with you!"Caleb was amused, to say the least. Hank hadn't realized Caleb hadn't divorced yet. Bestowing Penelope a proper status was definitely a ridiculous idea.Caleb put out his cigarette. "If you summoned me here just to stop me from t

    Hank scoffed and walked away after saying that.Meanwhile, Penelope couldn't hold it in anymore. She decided to visit Lane Group.As she strutted into the company in her high heels, she felt sorry for Caleb when she noticed him burying his head in his work. "Caleb, I know you don't want to be like this. Why don't you beg my dad for mercy?"Caleb scowled and looked at her with chilly eyes.Both Fergusons were ridiculous. One moment Hank would be mocking him, the next moment Penelope would come crawling to him."Ms. Ferguson, please return. I still have work to take care of."Penelope clenched her fists tightly, clearly reluctant to leave. She questioned, "Caleb, is it really worth it for you to do this because of Ember? She doesn't love you at all! Wake up!"Caleb ignored her. Instead, he summoned the security guards and had them drive her out of the company.Caleb drove straight over to Ember's house after work.Ember heard the car door open. She walked to the front door and p

    Avery kissed Ember on the face happily when he heard that."Thanks, Mommy!"Caleb had already regained consciousness when Ember reached the hospital.But he looked tired and pale.Caleb was surprised when he saw Ember. "Em?"His voice came out hoarse. He had been staring at Ember since she came in.Ember cleared her throat and said slowly, "You're my patient. How are you feeling?"Ember's outfit was a mess. She was not wearing her white coat, which meant she had rushed all the way from her house. Having noticed that, Caleb's smile widened.Meanwhile, Ember didn't know how she should feel about this situation. She was troubled by everything that was going on.She did not want Caleb to misunderstand the situation, so she explained, "Avery asked me to come. He's worried about you. I promised him I'd take care of you."Caleb was overjoyed. Thanks to Avery, he'd get to spend more time with Ember. Ember did a thorough check-up on Caleb afterward. She handed him his medical repo

    "Em, I'm not feeling well now. Please let me stay."The expression on Ember's face froze. Caleb looked hale and hearty.It seemed that Caleb thought he could lie his way into Ember's heart just because she had been nothing but nice to him lately."Mr. Lane, stop pretending to be ill. You look healthy enough to be discharged immediately."Caleb ignored Ember's warning. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I know that you've misunderstood my relationship with Penelope greatly. I promise the Fergusons won't cause trouble for you ever again.""You don't have to explain anything. It's between you and Penelope. It has nothing to do with me."Caleb felt disappointed and left reluctantly.But he would not let Avery's effort go in vain.Caleb was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon three days later. Allen reported what had happened to Furguson Corp in the past few days when he returned to work.Caleb smiled while playing with the pen. "Alright, keep your eyes on them."

    Penelope did not waste time with Ember. Knowing that Caleb didn't want to see her at all, she decided to leave the building and seek Nick out.Nick frowned when he noticed Penelope crying. After taking a sip of his coffee, he asked, "Did something bad happen, Miss Ferguson?"Penelope's eyes were red. She pursed her lips, unsure if she should say anything. Finally, she began, "Nick, please help me. Ember brainwashed Caleb. He refused to see me. You're my last hope."Nick felt distressed upon noticing Penelope's haggard look and said comfortingly, "Don't worry. I'll talk to Caleb and figure out what's going on."Penelope was relieved. "Thank you so much, Nick."Nick went to Lane Group immediately. Caleb was reading documents in his office.Caleb was interrupted by the footsteps. He stopped going through his documents right away, opting to look up at Nick in displeasure instead.Nick sat on the couch, seemingly at ease. He proceeded to make himself a cup of coffee.Caleb frowned.

    He was an arrogant man by nature. Now that he was upset, it was only natural for him to blame Caleb and Ember."Caleb, Ember, when I rise again, I will never spare you two!"Initially, these were words to himself, but he had not anticipated that they would be picked up by someone else."Fine, then we'll wait and see. However, you'd better think about how you're going to escape today."Henry looked around, surprised to see dozens of pairs of eyes.His voice trembled, and he attempted to reach into his coat for a weapon.He had just begun to move when he saw a corpse being thrown in his direction by Caleb's men."Do you think you still have a chance of escaping? No amount of weaponry will help."Henry was astonished when he peered down and saw his man."Are you going to come with us on your own accord today, or am I going to give you a straight up pain in the ass?"Henry's palm tightened into a fist, indicating that he did not want to choose either option."I don't want to go

    "Alright, tell me who the mastermind is in exchange for sparing your mother. My patience is wearing thin."The nurse averted her gaze with a hesitant look on her face."I've already told you that no one ordered me behind the scenes. If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do about it."Ember realized that she couldn't make the nurse give in with mere words, so she increased her bargaining chip.She opened up a picture on her phone and asked, "You are familiar with this thing, aren't you?"After taking a clear look at the picture, the nurse was a little confused about what Ember was going to do."I admit that I used this drug to kill your mother. You can take revenge on me however you want.""No, it seems that the mastermind didn't tell you the effect of this drug. This drug has been developed to cure vegetative patients. My mother gradually got better after taking it."The nurse's eyes brightened. She asked with a pleading look in her eyes,"Do you mean my mother can g

    Jamie placed her hand gently on her heart."Will Valerie be with me forever?""Of course."After a great deal of persuasion, Jamie finally stopped crying. She even readily cooperated in the treatment and apologized to Ember."Mommy, I'm sorry. I was rude to you just now."Ember couldn't bear to blame Jamie upon noticing how sensible she was."Silly girl, you are my daughter. How could I possibly blame you?"Good girl, let's go see Valerie together when you get better.""Okay."After leaving Jamie in Carrie's care, Ember left with peace of mind. She had to attend to an important matter now.Caleb had already told Ember everything, she couldn't wait to meet her mother's murderer after learning that she had been captured.Caleb planned to leave the decision in her hands this time.When Ember saw the nurse who gave her many sleepless nights, she rushed forward and grabbed her collar."Who is the mastermind?

    The nurse gritted her teeth, unwilling to say anything.Caleb didn't expect to worm any information out of her, so he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to take her away.What mattered most to him now was to wait for Jamie.Not long after he arrived at the door to the operating room, he heard good news from the inside.The operation was successful. Next, they had to observe Jamie's condition.Jamie would be fine as long as her body didn't show any signs of rejecting the heart.Caleb felt heartbroken when he looked at the pale Jamie lying on the hospital bed.Fortunately, Jamie was finally getting better.Much to everyone's surprise, Jamie didn't make any noise after she woke up.She didn't say a word and just lay there like a rag doll.Distressed, Ember looked at her daughter and said, "Jamie, I will take you to see Valerie after your recovery, okay?"For the first time, Jamie's eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

    At the mention of the surveillance footage, the nurse hurriedly clapped her hands and said,"You're right. How could I forget the most important surveillance footage?"While speaking, she was about to turn around and go to the security room to check the surveillance footage, but Caleb stopped her."I'll go there. You should go to the operating room and see if you can be of any help."With that, he turned around and left.The nurse returned to the operating room for the time being and told Ember everything, reassuring her.Caleb led his subordinates to the security room and checked the surveillance footage.Shortly afterwards, his eyes darkened at the sight of a familiar figure.His subordinates soon exclaimed when they discovered that it was the very same nurse who had killed Mia in the hospital last time."We never found her.

Miss, please get out of the way."The nurs,e who had been looking after the two children, knew that they were good friends.Witnessing the scene, the nurse felt helpless with a lump in her throat."Let's find Valerie later. Jamie, can you come with us now?"Jamie had vaguely guessed the answer, but still she stubbornly refused to give up."No way. I have to wait here for Valerie. She wants to see the flowers I've plucked."The nurse couldn't do anything about Jamie. When she was at her wit's end, Lugh appeared.He knelt down and spoke softly, "Be a good girl, Jamie.

She'll stay here for a while. Get along well with her, okay?"Jamie blinked, curious about the stranger in front of her."Hi, Valerie."Valerie had not talked to kids her age for a long time due to her health.

    Ember and Caleb looked at each other when they heard Valerie. They could not imagine how difficult her life was that made her so mature.Carrie was comforted after a while, wiped away her tears, and spoke with choked sobs."It was my daughter's decision. I'm glad she could help your daughter."They did not act superior even though Ember and Caleb were receiving their favor.Carrie felt so distressed that she could hardly breathe when she thought of Valerie, who would die in a few months.Ember was moved. "We're here to express our gratitude. Please let us know if there's anything we could help."She wanted to make it up to them.Fortunately, they did not feel offended but refused to ask for compensation."We're not doing this to get anything in return.
