"Jamie, this flower is for you. Is it pretty?""This flower is so pretty, let's give it to Aunt Ember when she comes back.""Okay. When Mommy comes back, we'll give it to her. But this one is yours. If Mommy has a pretty flower, you should have one too."Ember couldn't help but smile as she heard Jamie and Avery's voices in the yard.She walked in while calling out, "Jamie and Avery, I'm back."When the two children playing in the courtyard heard her voice, they acted like two small butterflies, stretching out their wings and rushing toward her."Mommy!""Aunt Ember!"Ember hurriedly squatted and extended her arms toward the two children who pounced at her.The two of them crashed into her arms.Ember's heart was about to melt as she heard the two children's gentle voices.She caressed Jamie's cheeks and kissed her on the forehead. After that, she did the same to Avery.She asked in a motherly voice, "Did you two miss me?"After spending some time with Ember, Jamie fell in
Gazing compassionately, Ember said softly, "Mom, I brought the children to see you."Avery raised his head, saw his mommy's red eyes, and sensed her feelings. He felt a little sad too."Grandma, I'm Avery. I've come to see you. Grandma, you must get well soon."Would Ember be happier if he chatted to his grandma more and encouraged her to smile?Jamie stood next to him and called out in a quiet voice, "Grandma, I'm Jamie. Are you sleeping? Can you hear me telling you a story? I will tell you a story so that you won't feel lonely and bored on your bed."Ember stood by the side, with a lump in her throat. She was touched as she saw the two children surrounding her mother.How could she have given birth to such two little angels?When they left the hospital, Ember explained the situation to the two."Jamie and Avery, Grandma's condition is a bit serious. I'm going to stay by Grandma's side for a period of time. Are you willing to stay and accompany her as well?"Avery didn't hesi
"I'll go back to deal with my work. Then I'll immediately rush back to accompany you and the children.""I'll wait for you."Ember tenderly hugged Caleb again after sending him to the airport and couldn't help but nag, "After you go back, don't just focus on work. You should also take care of yourself and eat on time."Caleb was reluctant to leave, but he had to.Ember intended to sleep with Jamie and Avery that night since Caleb was absent.The two children laid on Ember's left and right sides, and she carried a picture book in her hand, telling the story to them in a soft voice.Ember was telling the story of a tadpole searching for its mother.Avery had heard that many times before, but he listened closely because Ember was the one speaking.The story was only halfway through when Jamie couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Ember, did the tadpole find its mom in the end?"Jamie stared at Ember with teary eyes, bringing a sudden sadness in her heart."Of course the tadpole found its
"Mommy, I want him to be my tutor."The two talked in unison.Seth was the most attractive and youngest of the three.Given that the two's decisions were made together, the corner of her mouth could not help but curl up in an arc. She just nodded her head in agreement without objecting to the children's decisions."Good. Seth will give you guys lessons from now on, okay?"Jamie glanced up at this tall and attractive young man and smiled widely, displaying her pearly-whites. Two shallow dimples were shown on her little face.After the two children had chosen their teacher, Ember had the housekeeper give her Seth's information.She personally reviewed it and determined that there were no issues. Therefore, she hired him immediately."Seth, from now on, you are in charge of the two children's daily studies. We won't treat you poorly."Seth, who looked scholarly and well-mannered, remained polite and respectful when chatting to Ember. "Thank you, Ms. Sanders. I will teach the two
"Good, I'll make a note of this, when I go to the research institute next time, I'll talk to Professor Stone, I'm sure he likes passionate researchers like you."Wilson had a good old-fashioned smile on his face and smiled. "Thank you Dr. Sanders. I’ll definitely do my best to research the special medicine that can cure your mother as soon as possible."Ember was extremely grateful."Dr. Sanders, it's getting late, why don't I invite you to dinner, just so the two of us can sit down and chat about the research at the institute."When Ember heard this, she didn't hesitate and opened her mouth to consent.However, before she could finish her sentence, a low, mesmerizing male voice emerged from behind her."I'm sorry, Dr. Wilson. I'm afraid she can't make it today as I want to bring her on a date."Ember twisted her head in astonishment when she heard Caleb's voice and saw the man approaching her in wide strides.The corners of her mouth couldn't help but bloom into a smile as she
Caleb investigated Wilson, but he did not find anything wrong with him. Instead, Wilson was notably professional.He was well known for his expertise in comatose patients.Moreover, he was in charge of Ember's mother while she was in a coma.Caleb doubted Wilson's intention, but Ember thought he was just jealous.Ember smiled and promised softly, "Okay, okay. I'll keep my distance from Dr. Wilson, okay? I promise.""Fine."Caleb smiled, and his gaze softened when he heard Ember's doting words. -Caleb kept his promise about the date.He had been busy working day and night since returning from abroad.He had not contacted Ember since. Of course, he wished he could stay with Ember all the time and spend time together with just the two of thjem.Caleb took Ember to a famous nearby restaurant."This restaurant is famous for its food. Let's try some. Just the two of us."Ember smiled sweetly while holding Caleb's hand.Unexpectedly, they saw Susan there.Susan was there with
"Mr. Lane, what a coincidence."Caleb stared at Susan coldly.He raised his chin condescendingly and said coldly, "Yeah, there's not many restaurants here. We could meet anyone."Caleb was disgusted by Susan's tone.He intended to leave, but Susan grabbed his wrist and stopped him. She looked at Caleb with a pitiful and innocent look. "Mr. Lane, I admire you, but that's all. I won't do anything. I hope Dr. Sanders doesn't misunderstand my intentions."Susan said it deliberately to express her feelings for Caleb while provoking his relationship with Ember.Caleb felt offended by her touch.He suddenly raised his hand, pushed Susan away, and warned coldly, "Ms. Baker, don't touch me. Your feelings have nothing to do with me. I know what you're up to."Caleb strode away without looking at her again.Susan stood there. Her smile faded as she looked at Caleb.Ember was ready to leave when Caleb returned.She asked, "What took you so long?"Caleb seemed to be in a bad mood. He
Ember waved the paper to Caleb and asked, "What's this?"Caleb was confused. "Huh? Is it in my pocket?"Ember nodded.That paper was folded twice into a square, so it was not garbage.She strode to a streetlight, slowly opened the paper, and saw a hotel room number alongside a scribbled note. "Mr. Lane, I'll be waiting for you tonight. We'll have so much fun together."Ember was alarmed.Someone was trying to seduce Caleb!Caleb caught up and glanced at the paper.Ember angrily balled up the paper before Caleb could read it. She then looked at Caleb and asked, "Did you meet someone in the washroom?"Caleb was stunned and quickly figured it out.His expression became horrifying.Susan!Caleb put his hands on her shoulders and explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't know about the paper and so as its content. I met Susan on my way back from the washroom."Susan's name made Ember unpleased.She glared at Caleb angrily, threw the paper to him, and strode forward without saying a word
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
