Now that one person spoke up, the others began to voice their own opinions. "It's all over the Internet right now. I don't care what relationship you have with Mrs. Lane—you must give us an explanation!"Hearing these remarks, Caleb's handsome face darkened, his eyes keen and stern as he stared across everyone around him. His voice was incredibly icy."Who here has evidence in your hands that she leaked the company's secrets?"Once this was uttered, they all looked at each other in surprise.Right. None of them had evidence.Caleb laughed bitterly before snapping, "You have no evidence at all. You simply saw some rumors on the Internet and believed them? Isn't it a little too arbitrary?"One of the senior directors was displeased with what Caleb said. "Mr. Lane, it's true that we don't have any evidence, but there’s no smoke without fire. Why isn't there a story on the Internet that I'm the one who spilled the secrets? There must be a reason for the rumors about Mrs. Lane!"Ther

Ember arrived home from a hectic day at the hospital, only to discover that the Lane Group's leakage of the confidential documents had been uncovered and the truth had emerged.An unknown netizen had uncovered the arrangement between Penelope and Queenie on the internet.Ember couldn't help but think of Caleb's call from today.Did he do all this?Her slender, white fingers glided across the screen of her cell phone, looking up information on the internet.Ember was moved, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.Avery had been observing Ember's motions. When he noticed her holding her phone and smirking, he covered his mouth and drew back from the doorway.Closing the door behind him, he silently took out his phone and sent a message to Caleb."Daddy, I've already helped you solve those public opinions on the Internet. Mommy also saw it, and seems to be very happy about it."At the president's office in Lane Group, Allen was holding a tablet, and Caleb was reporting the inc

Caleb opened his mouth instinctively. "Don't worry, Avery. I will definitely apologize to your mommy. By the way, I still owe you a reward. You can think about what you want."Avery noticed some movements outside the door at that moment. "Daddy, I need to end the call now. I'm going to accompany Mommy."-The Fergusons have been struggling for the last three days.The company had declared bankruptcy, which led to their lives being ruined. Wherever they went, they were met with blank stares and derision.The few families that had previously befriended them had likewise distanced themselves.Penelope sat on the couch in her living room. Her parents sat across from her, both with serious expressions on their faces.Madam Ferguson, Penelope's mother, sighed hopelessly. She couldn't help but chide, "How could you be so stupid? Serves you right! Now, we have fully angered the Lanes!"Penelope frowned in displeasure. "Can you please shut up, Mom? Do you think I want this to happen in

At that moment, Ember sensed something was wrong.Why were Avery's cheeks so hot?Her expression changed drastically as she hurriedly stretched out her hand to feel Avery's forehead.After only touching it for a moment, she quickly withdrew her hand.Avery was currently burning up with a fever.No wonder he was extraordinarily quiet today. He didn't even make a fuss over wanting to listen to a bedtime story or playing with toys. Instead, he went to bed on his own.Ember knew that she had gotten careless this time.She scooped Avery into her arms while gently calling out, "Avery? Avery, can you hear me?""Mommy, I need a hug. I'm cold."Feeling distressed, Ember took him into her arms while cooing softly, "Let's get dressed, Avery. I'll take you to the hospital right now."The child was burning hot, and Ember's heart was burning with it.She frantically changed Avery's clothes and swiftly carried him out the door.Only when Ember arrived at the garage did she discover that t

Upon hearing the doctor's diagnosis, Caleb visibly relaxed as he smiled."Thank you, doctor."After the doctor left, Caleb personally carried Avery to the hospital bed and tucked him in. He made sure to remove Avery's hands from under the covers carefully afterward.Caleb was gentle the entire time, and his demeanor was serious and meticulous, as if he were handling a valuable item.Ember had rarely seen such an expression on Caleb. She glanced at the man's solemn side profile, clearly lost in thought.Now that the treatment was done, Avery was finally doing better.Finally, Ember was relieved."Caleb, thank you," she looked at him and said seriously.However, Caleb scowled in displeasure.His voice was flat, and he replied firmly, "Ember, you don't need to thank me for this kind of thing. Avery is also my child, and it's perfectly fine for me to care for him as a father."Caleb was filled with shame as he spoke.Yes, he was Avery's father, but for so many years, he had fail

Avery winked at Caleb again.The boy thought he was being inconspicuous. The truth was, Ember had already seen him making eye contact with Caleb.She couldn't help but giggle on the inside, an amused smile perched on her lips.Finally remembering how to start the conversation, Caleb coughed quietly and looked at Ember, his expression incomparably solemn."Ember, I want to apologize to you about the matter of the company's secrets being leaked. I didn't clarify the situation before I asked you tha question. It's my fault, but I've never doubted you in my heart."Avery might be lying on the hospital bed, but he didn't forget to help Caleb out. "Mommy, Daddy already knows it's his fault. Please forgive Daddy this time."Ember laughed quietly as she remembered the recent eye contact between the father and son. "Good. I'll forgive you for now just because Avery says so."When Eva and Caleb talked on the phone, she learned that Avery was in the hospital because of a flu.She couldn't

"It's okay, Grandma. I'm not tired. You can go back first."Caleb was worried about Ember and Eva.He stood up with a light cough. Then, he said to Eva softly, "Grandma, you should be resting at this time. If Ember is tired, I'll stay and look after Avery. Tell the driver to send you back now."When Eva heard this, she shot Caleb an upset look. She said to Avery, "Avery, let me stay with you tonight, okay? I will tell you a story."After that, Eva winked at Avery.She turned to face Caleb with a serious look on her face. "You've been busy dealing with troublesome matters at the company the whole day. There are still a bunch of things waiting for you to deal with at the company tomorrow, so it wouldn't be appropriate for you to stay."You and Ember go back together. I will take care of Avery here. There’s no need for you two to worry about."Avery was clever. He understood what was going on and instantly knew what Eva meant. He couldn't help but flash a fox-like smile as he nodde

The car drove slowly down the road that night.Caleb's thin fingers grasped the steering wheel as he looked ahead. The corner of his eye unknowingly peeked at the person sitting on the passenger side."Ember, you should have met Jamie by now." Caleb's voice rang out cold in a quiet car.Upon hearing this question, Ember stiffened up immediately. She was also confused by the sudden topic. "Why are you suddenly talking about this?"Caleb kept his eyes on the road, and his tone was still easygoing. There was nothing odd about it."Nothing. It's just that I happened to see Lugh holding a little girl a few days ago. I never heard about him getting married or having a girlfriend. I wonder… where did his child come from?"His question appeared casual, yet it unwittingly probed Ember's emotions.Ember's brows were slightly furrowed, and the same doubt crept into her heart.She had previously pondered whose child was that.Lugh had stated that it was a patient, but he had never seen th

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
