However, the doctor mumbled to herself. “Dr. Ember is married? I thought that she was together with Dr. Lugh.”What she said almost made Caleb go mad, but her next words calmed him down. “Alright. I’ll make it sound more serious and give you some more medicine. It’ll help with your recovery anyway.”Ember came in right after her phone call ended. Before she could even ask, Caleb said with a frown and said, “Em, the doctor said that I’m injured quite seriously, and I might need to get admitted for observation.”Admission? “Only your hand is injured, so why do you need to get admitted?” Ember raised an eyebrow and gave the doctor an inquisitive glance.The doctor felt helpless. She had promised to tell her about his injury being slightly more serious, but she never promised him to be able to get admitted into the hospital!“Well, the injury is too deep, right? And other than the infection, there are also other complications,” Caleb said earnestly, trying his best to make it sound

Penelope rushed straight to the ward and looked at Caleb, heartbroken. Her eyes were glued to his hand.Ember sneered. Penelope had quite the information network, to be able to reach them so quickly.She stared at Penelope as if she could see through her. With a faint smile, she said, “Ms. Penelope, despite your love for Mr. Caleb, please be reminded that we’re still married. This is still a family matter. You can take care of him, but you have no right to blame anything on me.”Family matters?The two words immediately left Penelope feeling choked.Ember adjusted her sunglasses as if she was Caleb’s wife. While her words sounded ridiculous, that was the truth.Penelope’s face turned pale as she bit her lips, looking at Caleb pitifully. However, he simply ignored her.Ember looked at how speechless Penelope was, and she chuckled. “My deepest sympathies, Ms. Penelope. You’ve followed Mr. Caleb around without any standing during the four years that I was abroad. Don’t worry, we’ll

When Caleb couldn’t find Ember at the hospital, he drove directly toward Saint Lucia Convent.However, when he reached the gate, he was stopped by the security guards.Due to what had happened earlier, Ember had increased security for the children’s safety. No one could simply walk into the girls’ school.“I’m here to see Ember,” Caleb said coolly.“Then please give call Ms. Ember first. Without her permission, we can’t let you in.” The security guard said honestly.He suppressed the anger in his heart and called Ember.“Tell security to let me through.”“Mr. Lane, have you received the divorce papers? If you’re not here with the copy, I don’t think we need to meet each other again,” Ember’s tone was relaxed with a hint of indifference.Caleb wanted to say something else, but she had already hung up. His hand balled into a fist, and he punched the guard house’s wall.The security guards looked at him in alert with their tonfa in hand, preparing to move at a moment’s notice.E

Left with no choice, Ember was prepared to call security.At this time, she saw Lugh was coming in.With a wide grin on his face, he greeted the nurse but completely ignored Caleb. He looked at Ember and said, “I remembered that you’ll miss meals when you get busy, so I’m here to remind you. You’re done with the patients?”As soon as Caleb saw Lugh, his expression turned ugly.It was this man again! The godfather of his son!And he was having such a good time with Ember!And Ember, who was treating him so coldly just now, visibly became relaxed after she saw Lugh.“I’m done. Have a seat,” Ember waved at him and moved a chair for him.“I remember you like pork chops? Their cafeteria is out of them. Should I make some for you tonight when we get home?” Lugh said as he raised his eyebrow.Caleb was so angry that he chuckled and gave Lugh another glare. But he couldn’t take it anymore, so he left.At this time, Lugh waved the phone in his hand. “If you encounter something like th

After parting ways with Lugh, Ember returned to her office. She pushed open the window and looked out. Caleb was still there.She pursed her lips. Although her face was expressionless, her heart ached. Something was making her face itch, and so she raised her hand to brush it away. It was tears.Even though four years had passed, she still couldn't help but cry for this man.Despite knowing that it wasn’t worth it.Caleb waited for a long time, realizing he wouldn't see her today. He returned to sit dejectedly on the sofa.His eyes were bloodshot from staying up, and he held his phone tightly, hoping for Ember to answer his call.However, things didn’t happen as he had hoped. He called the number that he had memorized, but they would always be rejected. In the end, Ember was so annoyed that she blocked him.Empty bottles were littered all around him. His personal assistant was so worried he might kill himself if he continued.“Please, sir. Stop drinking.”Caleb simply gave his

Caleb forcibly suppressed his anger, trying his best to ignore Lugh. He looked at Ember gently and said, “Em, we’re married. We should be the ones dancing together!”That instantly caught everyone’s attention as they waited for the drama to unfold.Ember looked at him with her chin slightly raised, but her eyes were icy cold. “You must have forgotten, Mr. Lane. The only thing that’s between our divorce is your signature.”As soon as he signed the divorce papers, they would both be set free.“But we’re not divorced yet!” Caleb insisted, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.With a mocking smile, Ember tucked her hair behind her ear and stared right into Caleb’s eyes. “I don’t understand how you can be so thick-skinned.”Caleb said through gritted teeth, “Em, please don’t.”Ember never expected that despite already sounding so harsh, he still didn’t want to let her go.“Don’t do what? Mr. Lane, looking at the relationship we had four years ago, we should separate peacefully.”Cale

Ember looked at Lugh with her lips pursed. He involuntarily clenched his fists while speaking. While he still looked calm, his eyes never left her.“You are Avery’s godfather in the first place. He’s too young to be able to explain what he meant. Don’t misunderstand it,” Ember said with a faint smile, telling him what her thoughts were indirectly.Lugh laughed lightly. He knew what Ember meant and didn’t want to make it difficult for her.“It’s time to teach Avery how to speak properly. He’s almost ready for kindergarten.”When it came to Avery, Ember cared a lot. “True. After this year, it’s time to send him to kindergarten. Lugh, thanks for taking care of us both for all these years.”“There’s no need to say thanks between the two of us. I’ll send you home,” Lugh said. He knew that, as long as he didn’t force the issue, they could still be friends. And he could be Ember’s best friend.“I'd like to go back on my own,” Ember sighed. Her thoughts were all over the place and she ne

When he saw his photo, Avery was stunned.So… It was him!Avery grinned as a plan formed in his

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.

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.

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. I only hope my organs can save lives. That's my only wish."Ember and Caleb felt so impressed.

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!
