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
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. Take care."Ember stood up and walked to the door. She needed to check on her patients. Queenie suddenly sat up straight. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry."Ember froze in her tracks. She smiled and left without a word.Queenie felt relieved after saying what was on her mind.When Ember was about to go home, she accidentally passed Queenie's ward and heard noises from inside.She could not help but stop and look inside. In Queenie's ward, she saw a man standing beside the bed, yelling at Queenie on the bed."Queenie! Where are
"Well, I need some compensation."Ember was stunned by Queenie's boyfriend. 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
