Vengeance Against That Scum Chapter 179
Caleb paid a month's worth of hospital fees for the hospitalization last time. Since the ward had been reserved, Ember had to check it.However, he had to go to the company from time to time and often missed Ember's ward round. He didn't leave so early today because he was angry.When Ember arrived at Caleb's ward, she was a little surprised to see that he was still there.After doing the ward round, she stood beside the bed and said, "Your condition is basically stable now. You can be discharged from the hospital today. The hospital staff will refund you for the excessive payment."Upon hearing those words, Caleb replied anxiously, "But I still feel uncomfortable. I need to stay for a few more days."As Caleb spoke, he burrowed under the covers.Allen, who came to deliver the paperwork, stifled a laugh when he saw Caleb's appearance.Dissatisfied, Ember looked up at Caleb and said, "If you are really uncomfortable, I suggest you do a full-body scan. Your heart condition is not

The man from earlier left to deal with some business. Penelope didn't intend to stay there either as she only aimed to get herself hurt."I think I have hurt my ankle." Penelope looked coyly at Ember."Caleb is not here. Just drop the act already." Ember felt disgusted looking at Penelope, so she was disdainful toward her.To Ember's surprise, Penelope ignored her reminder and looked sincerely at her. "Dr. Sanders, I got injured, so it's natural that I have to get treated at your hospital. What does it have to do with Caleb? He's not a doctor."Ember frowned, feeling a little confused.Was this woman acting again?Ember had fought with Penelope the last time they met, but why was Penelope being amicable with her right now?She took a deep breath and replied cooperatively, "I'm going to get you a doctor now."With that, Ember planned to leave."No! Dr. Sanders, I just need your help. As a doctor, you can't turn a blind eye on someone in need of help, can you?"Penelope tugged

This time, after Penelope left, Caleb instructed Allen to investigate her situation."Mr. Lane, Ms. Ferguson has been staying at Haverhill Hospital for the past few days. The attending doctor is Dr. Sanders," Allen stated."What kind of illness requires her to stay in this hospital?"Caleb looked troubled at this point. He was not stupid and was aware of the role that Penelope played."Apparently she twisted her ankle." Allen hesitated for a moment before saying these three words.Caleb was upset, so he got dressed and got out of bed, only to run into Penelope next door. "Caleb...""Penelope, stop fooling around. Pack up your things now and go get discharged!"Penelope picked the ward next to Caleb's so that it'd be easier for her to visit him, but the fact that she chose Ember to be her attending doctor was clearly intended to complicate matters.Caleb's gues was right, which was why he was so upset now."Caleb, I just want to be here with you!" Penelope's eyes were filled wi

Ember was in a good mood. With a warm smile, she put Avery on the tiny stool next to her. "Avery, I'm going to see Grandma tomorrow. Ddo you want to come along?"Avery sat down, dishes in hand, and earnestly considered her question."Mommy, I miss Grandma too. I want to go with you!""Good. Finish your meal and rest early tonight. Tomorrow, I will take you there," Ember instructed.They ate quietly throughout the meal and fell asleep shortly afterward.The next morning, Caleb came to pick them up very early. The family of three quickly arrived at the Lane's Manor.Since Eva had fainted the previous time, there were many more housekeepers in the manor once she got discharged.When Eva spotted them, she came out, accompanied by the housekeepers."Grandma!" Avery shouted sweetly and ran toward her.Eva smiled pleasantly and scooped Avery into a hug. "Oh, my dear Avery! Come, let me hug you!"Ember and Caleb couldn't stop smiling as they watched this scene.Eva stopped the two o

Ember was startled to discover that all of her belongings that she had left in this villa were still present. Her clothes still took up half of the closet.There were also many pieces of clothing that had never been worn before and appeared to have been added afterward.At that moment, Caleb's voice came from the side. "Ember, these clothes are what I have prepared for you over the years. This gown fits you well, not to mention it's quite modest too. You can try on it."I've already chosen my tux, so I'll get dressed in another room. I'll wait for you outside."After saying his piece, Caleb left the room and closed the door behind him like a true gentleman.This time, he didn't pressure Ember too much, which made her confused.Her favorite style was evident from the outfit that had been set aside. It was a modest yet expensive gown.Did Caleb truly care about her all these years? Did he really change his ways?Ember still couldn't believe it.Even though her mind was racing,

Ember stood to the side as she quietly listened to the two's conversation without saying a word. It was as if she were an outsider."Ms. Ferguson, there's quite a crowd at the banquet. I hope you can understand human language," Caleb spoke quickly, his tone suggesting a threat.If Penelope were to continue bothering Ember, he could always retaliate by doing something drastic."Got it..." Penelope could only respond in disappointment.Caleb, on the other hand, would not stop there. Remembering that she had reached out to try to slap Ember before, he frowned and continued, "I do not allow bystanders to bully my wife. If you think the Fergusons are still holding up these days, you can go ahead and irritate me."He looked so frightening that Penelope was left dumbfounded for a long moment.She quickly changed her expression back to that of a victim as tears started pooling in the corners of her eyes. "Ms. Sanders and I were just fooling around. You've misunderstood me, Caleb."Caleb

However, Penelope was in shock. Nervous, she asked repeatedly, "Are you sure this is the gown?""Yes, I've seen it before. It can't be wrong." The onlooker was upset with her questioning, but her focus was on the outfit, and she didn't give it any thought.Their conversation drew a large number of guests, and everyone's attention was focused on Ember.Penelope would be the humiliated one.She did not know what to do with the dozen or so banknotes in her hands. Her friends were even quieter.Who would have believed Ember could actually get this gown?Ember had long expected Penelope to have such an expression. Therefore, she felt no waves of emotion within her.The only thing that astonished her was that the gown Caleb had made for her was so valuable. She had assumed it was just an average gown.Ember was uninterested in Penelope's so-called compensation."Ms. Ferguson, now that Ferguson Group is in a recession, I'm afraid you can't afford to pay for this dress with your curre

Ember looked at her phone after Lugh hung up on her. She was doubtful as she stared at Lugh's car for some time.What was he hiding?Ember was perplexed and did not return home. Instead, she trailed Lugh's car from behind.At first, she was hidden among the traffic, but as they drove further, they gradually entered an area where there were fewer vehicles.When they approached the outskirts, the number of vehicles gradually diminished. That was when Lugh discovered a car following him.This was Caleb's car. Ember had never driven in that car before, so he had no idea who was in the car. He just thought it was unusual for it to continue following him.Lugh parked the car, opened the door, and walked toward her car.Ember parked her car, and the two of them met in the woods on the outskirts.Lugh was shocked to see Ember. "Ember, why are you here?"Despair surged from his heart the moment he recalled the phone conversation."Ember, I didn't mean to hide this from you."The fore

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? Tell me!"The unwavering nurse stood by her initial statement."No o

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. She raised her head and replied in a choked voice,

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. It turns out that she has fled back to Frissia."Caleb had run out of patience as his lips curled into a sneer."Catch her immediately! You have twenty

Jamie went out to pluck flowers for Valerie. There were many beautiful flowers in the back garden, so Jamie wanted to bring them to her in person.To her surprise, the hospital bed was empty when she returned to the ward.Jamie panicked and subconsciously ran in the direction of a nurse who was looking for her.She couldn't believe her ears when she heard the answer."I'm going to find Valerie. 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. We are going to ex

Valerie's words touched Carrie. She packed their clothes and left with Caleb and Ember.Ember asked Valerie and got them a room next to Jamie's ward.Jamie looked awkward when she saw Valerie."Mommy, who is she?"Ember rubbed Jamie's head and answered gently."Jamie, her name is Valerie. 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. She was attracted by Jamie's politeness."Hi, Jamie."Jamie and Valerie started talking. Children's friendship was simple. Ember got them many toys to play with.She tried to treat Valerie's illness but to no avail.The cancer cells had spread to the surrounding organs. The best Ember could do was decrease Valerie's suffering as much as she could.Valerie was very sensible. She gritted her teeth and endured the when it hurt.Jamie noticed that after having a similar experience.Sh

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. I only hope my organs can save lives. That's my only wish."Ember and Caleb felt so impressed. They wondered what they could do for Valerie.Suddenly, Duncan rushed in and said, "Don't mind if I do, then. You can have all my da

Then Carrie looked at Duncan again and cursed, "Duncan, I'll make sure you won't have any more children if you take the money. You'll be alone for the rest of your life."Duncan became furious when he heard that."Bitch! I've been too nice to you just now. I don't mind telling you what it takes to challenge me! You want to die with this trash, right? As you wish!"Someone grabbed his hand when he took a rope and moved toward them."Don't you dare!"Duncan was stunned and felt annoyed. "Stay away from my business! Everyone in this village knows who I am! Get lost!"As he spoke, he turned his head and saw two beautiful figures.In just an instant, he was deeply attracted by Ember's beauty and stunned.Caleb could not stand such a vulgar person, so he beat Duncan to the ground.Ember walked to Carrie and Valerie at that moment."Are you okay? Let me take you to the hospital."Valerie thanked her sweetly and helped Carrie get up, "It's alright. Thank you, miss."Carrie hurriedl
