Ember was busy in the dormitory taking care of Avery all night. He couldn't sleep well, as if the fall had left him traumatized.Caleb, who had tailed Ember, saw her taking care of Avery through the window.He couldn't imagine that Ember had been taking care of Avery by herself for so many years.It was heartbreaking to see her to be thrown into so much chaos.Only then did he realize that he owed Ember much over the years.Other than Ember, he also owed Avery. If Ember hadn't returned to Frissia this time, he wouldn't have known about Avery's existence.He secretly made up his mind that he would never let Ember and Avery suffer in the future.The next day, Lugh received a call from the manor abroad.The servant said anxiously, "Mr. Archer, Jamie's condition got worse again. There is really nothing we can do."Lugh knew that he couldn't afford any further delay in treating Jamie's condition, so he replied, "Take good care of Jamie. I will apply for leave from the hospital right
If Jamie hadn't suffered from this disease, she would've been healthy like Avery by now. However, fate was so unfair.Jamie couldn't help but look out the window curiously, looking here and there.Lugh rubbed her chubby face and said, "Jamie, have a good rest now. When we arrive at the destination, I will take you wherever you want to go."Jamie obediently closed her eyes and fell asleep.It was daytime the next day when the plane landed.As soon as they got off the plane, Lugh received a notice that he was the operating surgeon for a surgery at 10:30 a.m.He glanced at his wristwatch while holding Jamie in his arms. It was already 9:30 a.m. It would take half an hour to go to the hospital, and he was running out of time.He had to carry Jamie to the hospital for work.Lugh placed Jamie in his office and comforted her. "Jamie, I will perform a two-hour surgery in a moment. You can rest in my office, but don't run around by yourself, okay?"Lugh, who was patient with children,
When Ember saw that the child had her guard up, she didn't ask further questions and reminded, "Avery, you must not run around with the little girl. Got it?"Avery nodded vigorously as he replied, "Mommy, I promise to complete the mission!"After seeing Ember leave, Jamie picked up the toys on the table and started playing by herself.Avery took the toys and said with a smile, "These toys are all mine. How could you take my toys without asking for permission?"He was just trying to get her to talk.Looking embarrassed, Jamie put down the toy and asked hesitantly, "Can I play with your toys?"Avery was wide-eyed, thinking that this little girl was adorable.He had already imagined what it would be like if he had a sister."Feel free to play with any toy you want. They are all yours."Jamie had never had toys while recuperating in the manor. The housekeepers only cared about her health. No one played with her.When she saw the toys that Avery had brought, she stared intently at
The situation left Lugh no choice but to check the surveillance footage at the surveillance room.The security guard looked helpless and sighed. "Dr. Lugh, I wish I could cooperate with you, but the surveillance cameras in the corridor of the office have been down since yesterday. The maintenance personnel has yet to fix them."Lugh's heart sank as he sighed. Then, he replied, "Sorry for the inconvenience."Afterwards, Lugh left the surveillance room and returned to his office. When he opened the door, he saw Avery and Jamie.The two of them were sitting on the couch and having a great time.When Avery saw Lugh, he jumped off the couch with a smile and hugged him, acting like a spoiled child. "Uncle Lugh! You are done with the surgery at last. I had so much fun with my little sister!"Lugh's anxiety disappeared instantly as he picked up Avery and placed him on the couch.The two children, who realized the severity of the matter, dared not look straight at Lugh's serious face.J
Ember was lost in thought as she looked at Jamie. Jamie and Avery looked alike when they stood together.As a doctor, Ember could tell that Jamie was in poor health from her pale face.She frowned and looked at the two children not far away, feeling indescribable irritation.It was absolutely impossible for such a coincidence to happen in the world. Not only did Jamie and Avery look alike, but they were also of a similar age.Ember had a suspicion that things were not that simple, so she took the two children to her office.When it was almost time for Ember to get off work, Avery said reluctantly, "Jamie, my mommy is getting off work. Let's stop playing today and meet another day."After that, Ember held hands with the children and prepared to take Jamie back to Lugh's office.Unexpectedly, Caleb happened to witness this scene.Caleb looked at the children led by Ember in disbelief and rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was seeing things.Ember looked at Lugh and beat around the
At that moment, Penelope, who was wearing red lipstick, a pencil skirt and a pair of high heels, walked up to Ember and her son.She moved elegantly, as if she wanted everyone to notice her.Since Ember couldn't avoid this hostile woman, she pretended that she didn't see her and prepared to leave with Avery.Unexpectedly, the mother and son came into sight of Penelope's arm the next second.Penelope blocked Ember's way, so she couldn't leave even if she wanted to. Ember didn't know what Penelope was up to.Seeing that Ember was so afraid of her, Penelope grinned ear to ear and sneered. "Hey, Ms. Sanders. It's just a few days since our last encounter. Why are you so afraid of me? It's not like I'm going to eat you up, right?"Ember gave Penelope a cold-eyed stare and sneered at her absurdity. She didn't want to engage in a quarrel, but Penelope assumed she was afraid."Penelope, don't stand in our way. Do you want to be the laughingstock in front of people here?"The remark ange
Avery was upset at the talkative Penelope and retorted, "You are a bad woman. How can you talk to my mommy like that? Even if that thing is bad, it proves that you have bad taste! Grandma will certainly like the gift given by my mommy. A bad woman like you doesn't have to worry about it!"With that, Avery made a face at Penelope and left while holding Ember's hand.Penelope grimaced. Ferguson Corp was just an empty corporation now, and the Fergusons' fate depend on Caleb.Never did she expect that bastard Avery would ride roughshod over her!Their loud quarrel attracted a lot of attention.However, Penelope was no longer the wealthy daughter of the Fergusons, nor did she have the ability to compete with this group of people. She had no choice but to swallow her anger.When Penelope saw Eva, she handed her present with a smile and said flatteringly, "Grandma, please stay cheerful all the time. I hope you like this present."Eva replied with a smile, "I'm already this old, yet you
Obviously, she was the most deserving candidate to stand alongside Caleb. But now she was being rejected!One day, she'd make them all pay the price for failing to see her true worth!At the time, Eva took Ember's hand inside the mansion.She was quite fond of Ember, but Caleb was slow to take action. She had given him so much time to pursue his wife, yet there was still no action at all.It seemed that Eva still needed to take some action.She sat alongside Ember and said, "I know you're a great woman. If other shameless women dare to cause you trouble, you can seek me out. I'll help you!"Ember knew Eva was honest to her, so she smiled and shook her head. She gently replied, "Don't worry, Grandma. I usually work at the hospital. No one will look for trouble."Eva was generally well-informed and knew exactly Penelope's behavior towards Ember.She was unable to teach Penelope a lesson today since she did not want to disrupt the pleasant environment in the mansion. After this, P
