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
Ember read and understood the contents of the books. But she was too tired to remain awake, so she fell asleep in the study.The Internet underwent a dramatic change while she slept.Whoever took the photos of the scene where she and Lugh met in the countryside had posted them all over the internet.Ember was now seen as a minor celebrity as a result of those earlier incidents. Many members of the paparazzi were observing her every step. This time, she was caught in the act.Several netizens who adored Ember and Caleb as a couple saw the image and left comments. Some didn't think it was real. Others, who wanted Ember and Caleb to be a couple, had their hopes shattered.[How could this be? Who will end up being Dr. Sanders' soulmate? Both men are equally handsome and talented!][How can you guys speculate so much through a meeting? Maybe the pictures are photoshopped!]The online public opinion didn't have the slightest impact on Ember's sleep. She didn't get up until noon.Sinc
