"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 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.

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

    Queenie lay on the ground with bruises littering her face and injuries all over her body.She used all her strength to hold Penelope's leg tightly before she could escape."You'll pay for what you've done!"Horrified, Penelope kicked Queenie and shouted, "Get your hands off me! Let me go!"Queenie held Penelope's leg tight to keep her there.Penelope was pissed off. She grabbed Queenie's hair and shouted, "Let me go!"The police rushed in and saw that.They surrounded Penelope and handcuffed her."You're under arrest for housebreaking and violence!"Penelope was shocked and started struggling in fear, "Let me go! Let me go! I didn't do it!"She was taken away by the police.The police were there because someone reported about Penelope with the video of her taking the men, breaking into the house, and hurting Queenie. The evidence was solid. Penelope could not defend herself at all.-Allen stood before Caleb's desk and reported to him, "Mr. Lane, it's done. As expected,

    Ember wondered why Queenie was hurt, so she walked in."What happened? Who did this to you?" Ember frowned and asked.Queenie's expression looked complicated when she saw Ember. Her brows furrowed, tugging at the injuries on her face and making her gasp in pain.Queenie repented and told Ember everything.Ember did not know if she should laugh at Queenie's predicament or comfort her for what happened.She said coldly, "You should rest.

What a jerk.She opened the door, strode in, and slapped him.Ember almost used all her strength to slap him.It took a few seconds for Queenie's boyfriend to react. He stared at Ember angrily and shouted, "Who the hell are you? Have you lost your mind?"Ember glanced at Queenie sitting on the bed and said calmly, "I'm a doctor. I'm doing her a favor since she can't do that herself."Ember was right. Queenie wanted to slap him but was too weak to do so.Queenie's boyfriend was a bastard. He looked at Ember sinisterly and wanted to slap her back."Ember, watch out!" Queenie screamed in fear.When he almost reached Ember, she took her phone, pointed at him, and warned coldly, "Watch your hands. You don't want to go to jail."Ember called security before entering the ward. After a while, security came and took the man away.Queenie lowered her head, feeling guilty.She did not expect that Ember would h

    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.

    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.

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.
