Ember, on hearing those words, wasn't angry with Lugh. Instead, she was on tenterhooks.

She clenched her fists on the table with her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

"Lugh, you said Jamie was in poor health. Isn't Jamie fine now?"

Caleb stared intently at Lugh with his deep eyes, feeling anxious.

Lugh's expression sank as he slowly lowered his head at the mention of Jamie’s health.

"Jamie, she has congenital heart disease."

Those words were like a bolt from the blue for Ember. She trembled violently and fell to the side.

She knew Jamie had a heart problem, but she didn't expect it would be so serious.

Fortunately, the quick-witted Caleb took Ember into his arms and held her tightly.

When Ember’s cold body fell into Caleb's arms, she burst into tears and twitched with pain.

Then, he slowly approached her.He sat next to Jamie and accompanied her to play with toys for a while. Then, he asked on purpose, "Jamie, do you want to find your parents?"Jamie, on hearing those words, suddenly raised her head with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Uncle Lugh, why are you asking me this question all of a sudden?"Although Jamie was young, she was sensitive.Lugh stroked Jamie's fluffy hair and replied gently, "I notice that other children have parents. Don’t you envy them, Jamie?"Let’s find your parents. What do you think? In this way, you will have the love of your parents in the future.

Then, she put Lugh on speaker and continued talking to him.Lugh's gentle and calm voice from the phone."I mentioned it to Jamie tonight, but she’s too sensitive. She grew up thinking her parents had abandoned her. We talked for a bit, but she became nervous for fear that I would abandon her."Hearing those words, Ember felt upset and her heart skipped a beat.For a moment, the three adults frowned and were deep in thought.After a while, Ember asked, "Lugh, why don’t we slowly integrate Jamie into our lives? We will let Avery spend more time and play with her. Once she

Ember asked teasingly. "Jamie, you can tell me so I can help you teach him a lesson and make sure that he won’t dare to bully you again."Jamie peeked at Caleb before she quickly looked away and shook her head.Her sweet voice was pleasant to the ears. "No, I don’t hate Uncle Caleb. It’s just that he is unfriendly. Uncle Caleb was mean to Uncle Lugh last time."They met downstairs at Ember's house last time.

We will print another photo from the negatives and hang it in the restaurant.

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

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.
