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
Ember and Caleb returned home.Jamie and Avery ran toward them happily.Jamie had accepted Caleb after living together for days.She jumped happily before Caleb and called out to him continuously."Uncle Caleb, welcome home.""Daddy, I miss you so much."Caleb's heart was filled with warmth.He got down on one knee and gathered the children in his arms before kissing them on their faces."I miss you too. I brought you gifts. I hope you'll like it."Caleb knew how to deal with children.He bought a complete set of Barbie dolls for Jamie and a toy car for Avery.Avery and Jamie were overjoyed. They hugged Caleb and kissed his cheeks.Then, they started playing happily with their toys for a long time.Ember went downstairs to remind them when it was getting late."Jamie, Avery, you should sleep now. It's late now. Your class with Mr. Waller starts tomorrow."Jamie and Avery put their toys down and went to the bedroom obediently while holding hands.At night, when Caleb was
Caleb crossed his hands on his chest and frowned slightly. He looked like a dog that had been ignored by its owner, waiting for its owner's comfort.Ember was amused by his expression. She could not help but chuckle as she leaned closer.She gently drew circles on Caleb's chest and asked seductively, "What's wrong? Are you jealous? He's too young to be my type. What are you worrying about?"Caleb looked at Ember with even more resentment and bit Ember's finger."I am jealous. Do something about it."Caleb flipped around so that he could straddle Ember. He did so while staring at her the whole time.-The next day, Ember went to the hospital to visit her mother as she did every day.On the way there, she brought a large bouquet of flowers to decorate the ward.Ember sat beside the bed, gently holding her mother's withered hands with both hands, and said in a warm and soft voice, "Mom, Jamie, and Avery miss you. They wanted to live with you. I wish we could do that."By the way
"Professor Stone, what kind of herb is it? Where can I find this herb?"No matter how difficult it was, Ember was willing to find the herb as long as they could develop the specific drug."This herb grows in the most dangerous forest of Southeast Ayar," Stephen said slowly. "Basically, it is not available in other places. One can only buy it at an exorbitant price."Ember knitted her brows upon hearing those words.Just as Ember was thinking about what to do, Wilson, who had been sitting next to her, suddenly stood up and spoke seriously, "Professor Stone, it is not easy to find this herb. It may even cost a fortune, so it is not worth it. Why don't we continue the previous research?"The progress of the previous research is already at 80%. We will produce some results if we work harder. It is much easier than finding the herb."Wilson had been leading several researchers to conduct research in this aspect before Stephen's arrival.Although they had not produced any results, the
"I think our lab should be fully focused on this research program instead of developing a new research program."Wilson couldn't help but become a little excited at the end of his speech.Ember noticed that Wilson spoke excitedly for the first time.In normal times, Wilson would speak regularly and slowly. He would never speak eagerly.Although Ember did not fully participate in the research, she was familiar with its progress and results.The previous research progressed slowly while being effective.But at the final stage, the research had reached the bottleneck without any progress.Ember was also considered a researcher. One had to be patient and persevere in doing research.However, blind persistence sometimes may lead to wrong results instead of victory.Her mother was running out of time. If they proceeded with the previous research, they would certainly not complete it within two months.Maybe others could afford to wait. Neither Ember nor her mother could wait any lo
Ember returned home and placed the large bouquet of flowers in a vase.Jamie and Avery had just completed their lesson at that moment. They ran out of the study happily knowing that Ember had come home."Aunt Ember, you are back!""Mommy!"The two spoke simultaneously as they ran towards Ember with open arms.Ember squatted down out of habit. She then reached out towards the two children and hugged them gently."Tell me, did you both listen to Mr. Waller and do well in class today?"Jamie and Avery nodded vigorously. They looked serious as they responded obediently, "We did."Seth walked out of the study. When he saw Ember, he greeted her with a shy smile.Ember stood up and asked casually, "Seth, how were the two of them? Did you have a hard time taking care of the two children alone?”Seth was tall. Ember had to raise her head to look at him while he was standing there.He had fair skin. After he saw Ember, he was ruddy-cheeked and smiled shyly. Then, he said seriously, "N
