Penelope snorted, slightly frightened. "Do you think you can fool me? Not a chance. I know how you deceived Caleb with those tactics of yours."She continued, "Mark my words! If you keep pestering Caleb without any shame, I will expose your scandal!"Not only did Penelope want to expose Ember's scandal, but she also wanted everyone to know about it!Ember couldn't stand Penelope for being noisy in the office. The latter kept telling Ember to give Caleb back to her.After rolling her eyes, Ember narrowed her eyes at Penelope and asked coldly, "Do you want to take another beating, huh?"Penelope take a few steps back and looked at Ember warily before she replied, "So what? Ember Sanders, do you think you can do anything to me? Tell you what, the scandalous materials in my hands are more than enough to ruin you! You'd better get lost with your precious son!"A silent Ember watched Penelope cursing her, as if she was looking at a madwoman.However, Penelope kept cursing. "You are a
If Penelope posted these photos online, even Caleb wouldn't be able to help Ember by then!Penelope was satisfied looking at the photoshopped photos on the screen that met her desired requirement.Ember was wearing revealing clothes and hugging a man in the photos, letting one's imagination run wild.Penelope saved the photos and did not post them for the time being.Then, she transferred a great sum of money to the photoshop expert and replied: [I am satisfied with the photos that you photoshopped. I will come to you again next time.]A sneer appeared on Penelope's face. She wanted to find out how Ember was going to clear her name this time!Ember would not be lucky every time. Penelope didn't believe that Caleb would be so infatuated as to believe in that vicious Ember!Avery pestered Ember early in the morning and said that he wanted to accompany her to the hospital because it was boring to stay at home alone.Ember was a little helpless. She often took him to the hospital w
Avery thought that the hypocritical expression on Penelope's face was funny. Since she had already said she was here to accompany him, he might as well teach this bad woman a lesson on the behalf of his mother!"That's great, Aunt Penelope. It just so happened that I accidentally lost the toy that Daddy gave me just now. I haven't been able to find it. Aunt Penelope, can you help me?"His sincere eyes and appearance were lovable.Penelope had no way to refuse Avery. After agreeing to his request, she searched around with much difficulty, thanks to her short skirt and high heels. But she couldn't find it at all. Avery sat on the couch and wailed about the toy being his favorite.Penelope helplessly squatted on the ground to search for the toy, looking wretched. She even suspected that Avery was playing tricks on her. However, it seemed not to be the case when she saw how sad he was.Not only did Penelope fail to find Avery's toy, but she also messed up Ember's office. Eventually, s
Penelope instantly became the target of public criticism. Knowing that justice was not on her side, she rolled her eyes at Ember and clapped her hands."Great, this place is indeed your turf. To think that even a mere nurse can talk shit about me!"Ember told the other nurses to leave the office because she didn't want to involve other innocent people."Penelope, you and I should've just stayed in our lanes. Yet, you tried to mess with me every time. As for Caleb, he is not an object but a human being. If you like Caleb so much, you could've confessed your love to him. You didn't have to come to my place to seek attention because now you have seriously interrupted my work."Ember showed Penelope the door, but Penelope remained unmoved, as if she didn't hear Ember.Now that she had the scandal about Ember, she didn't have to waste her breath arguing with her.She slowly took out a stack of photos from her bag and impatiently threw them on Ember's desk.Penelope snarled out, "Embe
Caleb expressionlessly stretched out his hand to keep a distance from her and got straight to the point. "Penelope, I know you had something to do with Queenie. I have warned you many times not to mess with Ember. Why did you turn a deaf ear?"Queenie was the actress who caused trouble for Ember.As if she had seen something terrible, Penelope quickly looked away from his menacing gaze and denied, "Caleb, you are mistaken. How could I be acquainted with a nobody like her?"Caleb had already investigated everything that Penelope had done. He would not have come here if he hadn't had sufficient evidence."Penelope, I'll offer you one last chance. Take the earliest flight abroad tomorrow with the compensation I give you. The money will be enough for you to live luxuriously for the rest of your life."Penelope couldn't believe her ears. She was a total stranger in a foreign country. How could she be willing to stay in that kind of place for the rest of her life?"Caleb, we have known
A look of disappointment flashed across Caleb's face when he heard what she said. However, he was unwilling to give up. "Em, you're exhausted from work today. Why don't I take you two out to dinner?"Just then, Avery in his arms echoed, "Mommy, just agree to it. You performed surgery all morning today and wasted so much time reasoning with that bad woman. Even I feel tired for your sake! I have to make Daddy spend a lot of money today!"However, Ember remained unmoved and kept a straight face as she spoke, "Avery, have you forgotten that you just ate? Let's go back quickly and rest."Avery pretended not to hear her and acted like a spoiled child. "Mommy, please! I really want to go out! Mommy, you are the best!"Avery tried every trick in the book, but Ember was unyielding. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.It was then that Caleb took Ember's hand and said, "Em, I know you are dedicated to your job, but you need to have a proper meal after work. Since Avery wants
After cutting a steak with a knife and fork, Caleb looked dignified as he pushed the plate toward Ember.Then, he took out a piece of tissue and wiped his hands, revealing a self-deprecating smile. "Em, do you know?" He looked at Ember affectionately and said, "In fact, I have been longing to have a sweet and pleasant life like this with you where we have dinner together with Avery after work, just like normal people."Ember had a smile on her face. How could she not have fantasized about this scenario? She had fantasized about the scenario countless times, but she never got a second chance.When she married Caleb back then, she was arrogant enough to think that she could capture Caleb's heart.However, she ended up suffering a crushing defeat before she gave up.Ember looked at the plate of steak in front of her and hadn't made a move since the beginning, as if it was a hot potato. She then said with a smile, "You have to understand that once there are cracks in some things, th
Caleb couldn't care less about anything else. Seeing that his precious son was injured, he hurriedly said, "Em, help Avery get dressed. I'll get the car now. Let's go back to the hospital to get his wounds treated."It warmed Avery's heart to be cared for by his parents."Daddy, I'm really fine. We don't have to go back to the hospital. The wound will heal by tomorrow."Ember disagreed with Avery's statement. She frowned and lectured, "Avery, you can't be careless. The grazes must be disinfected as soon as possible, or else they will lead to bacterial infection."After arriving at the hospital, Ember returned to her office and took out a medical kit.She took out the iodine and lightly dipped it with a cotton swab before she warned, "Avery, close your eyes. It may hurt a little."Avery nodded obediently and then closed his eyes.Ember gently wiped his wound, as if she was afraid of hurting him. On the other hand, Avery gasped and retracted his arm involuntarily.Just then, Cale
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
