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
Penelope's hand movements came to a halt, and she turned her head to look at the neighbor. She calmly asked, "Does Queenie Brown live here?""Queenie? She left a long time ago. She doesn't live here anymore.""Moved?"Penelope gave a vicious stare, and her frigid voice demanded, "Then where did she go?""I don't know. If you know her, you should call her."After that, the neighbor closed the room door with a loujd bang.Penelope stood alone outside Queenie's apartment, her heart pounding with fury.Just as she was losing her patience and about to leave, she noticed a familiar person.Wasn't this Queenie's boyfriend?Penelope's attractive eyes gradually narrowed, and the corners of her mouth rose upward, displaying a determined smile.Queenie's boyfriend had already moved in with Queenie, and he returned today to take some things away.Penelope recognized him at first glance and followed him leisurely.When he came out of the apartment and took a cab, she immediately drove a
Without much thought, Queenie's boyfriend told Penelope how Queenie had betrayed her."Her boss, Caleb, offered her double the price for the information she traded with the other party. He also promised her a good position in the company, so she agreed."Hearing these, Penelope had a murderous look.Quennie! How dare she betray her for such a tiny gain! She was the reason why Penelope was forced to suffer!Since Quennie betrayed Penelope, the latter would make sure that Queenie must suffer too.On the second day, Ember and Caleb arrived at the hospital to take over Eva's shift.Caleb attentively made breakfast. When he and Ember entered the hospital room, he took the initiative in asking, "Grandma, how was your rest last night?"Eva and Avery had a wonderful time together. She smiled and stood up, though she kept looking at the couple sneakily."Avery and I are getting along very well. We slept very well last night. You guys don't need to worry."Avery sweetly called out, "Mom
"Avery, get well soon.""Okay, let's go to the amusement park together after I'm discharged."Avery and Jamie started chatting.Avery looked at Caleb and Ember expectantly after saying his wish.He rarely made any requests.Ember could not say no. She smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll take you there when you get better."Jamie looked envious when she heard that.Ember felt distressed. She rubbed Jamie's head gently and said, "Jamie, will you join us?"Ember thought Jamie would be happy, but the latter just shook her head after thinking for a few seconds."No."Ember was surprised, wondering if Jamie was scared to accept the invitation.She slowly knelt to Jamie's eye level and said gently, "Why? Avery will be happy if you join us."Jamie blinked, quickly lowered her eyes, and said decisively, "Thanks, but I prefer to go with my uncle and Avery."Everyone was stunned.Lugh ended the call and walked in. He smiled awkwardly after hearing Jamie's words.He walked to Jamie and
Jamie's words made Lugh silent. He did not answer for a while.At the same time, there was also a slight wavering in his heart. He was wondering if he should tell Ember that Jamie was her daughter.-Penelope had slept with Queenie's boyfriend and got Queenie's address.She went to Queenie's house the next day.Queenie had been on leave since the incident. She thought it was her boyfriend when she heard a sudden knock on the door.She walked to the door and asked, "Did you forget something?"A look of surprise appeared on her face when she opened the door. She then quickly closed the door.But Penelope expected that and blocked the door.Penelope looked at Queenie fiercely and sinisterly. "Got you, Queenie."Queenie shivered subconsciously. She stepped back involuntarily and looked at Penelope warily."Penelope, what do you want from me?"Penelope opened the door and walked in right away. "You betrayed me. What do you think I'll do?"Queenie trembled uncontrollably. She
