"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

    Ember grabbed Jamie's wrist and rolled up her sleeves. Then, she saw the densely packed and scary-looking red rashes on Jamie's arm."I'm sorry, Jamie. I didn't know that you were allergic to pollen."Ember felt a pang of guilt at that moment.Looking at the red rashes all over Jamie's body, Ember immediately picked her up and strode outside.As she walked, she kept comforting and apologizing to her, "I'm sorry, Jamie. It's all my fault for knowing nothing about your allergy. I should have gotten to know you better. It's my mistake..."Jamie was out of sorts looking at Ember's sad look.She reached out and touched Ember's cheek before she replied softly, "Aunt Ember, don't be sad. I am fine. It's not your fault."How could she not blame herself?She was Jamie's mother.As a mother, she didn't even know that her child was allergic to pollen. She even caused Jamie to be covered in rashes.Avery hurriedly called Caleb on his phone when he noticed that his sister's allergy flared

    Caleb walked up to Jamie's bedside and saw her tightly closed eyes. She seemed to be sleeping uneasily.Sitting next to the hospital bed, he patted Jamie on the shoulders and said gently, "Sleep well, Jamie. Don't be afraid. Daddy is here."Both Caleb and Ember thought Jamie was still sleeping, so they didn't conceal the truth.On the other hand, Jamie, who was pretending to be asleep with tightly closed eyes, trembled violently at the word "daddy".-Although Lugh was not with Jamie during this time, he still missed her.Every night, he would free up some time and talk to Jamie on the phone.However, Jamie was already asleep when he phoned her today.Ember answered the phone, but her voice sounded hoarse after crying. "Lugh, Jamie is asleep. I'm afraid she won't be able to answer your call today."Lugh, who immediately noticed something was wrong with her voice, asked with a frown, "Ember, what's wrong with your voice? Did you cry just now?"What happened? Did Caleb bully yo

    Avery had been worried about Jamie. When he saw Caleb come back, he threw himself into his arms with a worried look on his face."Daddy, how is Jamie? Is she alright?"Caleb touched his head and said, "Jamie is fine. She will get better after resting in the hospital for two days."Avery fell silent with a frown. He then said seriously, "Daddy, I'm going to the hospital with you to visit Jamie."He couldn't rest assured until he saw his sister.Caleb did not refuse Avery. Instead, he praised,"Avery, you have grown up and know how to worry about your sister. Let's go. I will take you to visit your sister."The father and son were on their way to the hospital.Sitting in the back seat, Avery suddenly asked, "Daddy, Jamie is my blood sister, isn't she? Is she Mommy's and your child too?"Caleb was driving. When he heard Avery's question, he couldn't help but slow down the car with a pause in stepping on the gas pedal.Surprised, he looked at Avery in the back seat through the re

    "Jamie, are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I'll buy it for you, alright?"It was now morning, so it was time for Jamie to wake up and have breakfast.Ember tried to tempt Jamie with breakfast, but still she kept her mouth closed and looked like she didn't want to speak.Just then, Caleb and Avery walked into the ward with takeouts in their hands.Right after entering the ward, Avery trotted to the hospital bed. He then raised his head and asked worriedly, "How are you, Jamie? Are the rashes on your body still itchy?"The two children were bosom friends and talked about everything in normal times. Jamie liked Avery the most and relied very much on him.However, Jamie didn't speak when Avery greeted her.Jamie was not a rude child. When Ember witnessed the scene, she looked grave as she realized something was wrong.Ember and Caleb looked at each other.Caleb took the breakfast burrito and placed it on the overbed table before he said, "Jamie, I brought your favorite br

    As soon as Ember stretched out her hand, Jamie stubbornly pushed it away with all her might.Jamie shrieked with red-rimmed eyes, "Why did you abandon me? Why did you leave me behind and make me an orphan?"Ember was crying so much that she couldn't get the words out.She stretched out her arms and hugged Jamie, apologizing profusely without allowing her refusal."I'm sorry, Jamie. I'm sorry for not being able to stay with you back then, but I never thought of abandoning you. Jamie, you are my darling child."Jamie cried her heart out. Upon hearing Ember's words, she retorted, "If you didn't abandon me, why didn't you look for me? Didn't you abandon me because I was sick?"It doesn't matter if you don't want me. I'm fine with Uncle Lugh."Ember didn't want Jamie to misunderstand that she was an abandoned child. It would make Jamie very sad.In fact, she wanted Jamie to know that she was the same as Avery. They both were the apples of her eye.Ember gently cupped Jamie's cheek

    "Em, stop putting too much pressure on yourself. Jamie will accept us sooner or later. Let's take things slowly."Ember felt better now after speaking from the heart.Her only worry was Jamie.Jamie had a sensitive personality. Ember wondered if Jamie could digest the large amount of information that she had told her in a short time.-Lugh, who was worried about Jamie, flew straight to the city where Ember was currently in the next day.After receiving the news that Lugh had arrived at the hospital, Ember glanced at the sleeping Jamie and told the nurse in the ward, "Please look after the child in my absence. I'm going to pick up a friend downstairs."The nurse replied, "Okay, go ahead, Ms. Sanders."Ember saw Lugh striding over not far away right after she went downstairs."Ember, how is Jamie doing now?" Lugh asked about Jamie's condition as soon as he saw Ember."Jamie is fine."After a pause, Ember forewarned him, "Lugh, Jamie overheard the conversation between me and C

    Ember's heart sank as soon she heard the nurse's reply.Lugh followed her and finally realized something was wrong.It was likely that Jamie had sneaked out because she couldn't accept the truth in a short time.He thought about Jamie who had sneaked out alone despite her heart condition. What should he do if something bad was going to happen to her?Trying his best to suppress the worry in his heart, Lugh said to Ember in a deep voice, "Calm down, Let's look for Jamie. She is young, so she shouldn't be able to go far.""You are right. Let's hurry and search for Jamie. I’m sure we will be able to find her."They both worked separately. Lugh searched the hospital, whereas Ember went to check the surveillance footage.While Ember was checking the surveillance footage in the monitoring room, her phone suddenly rang.She took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Caleb.The moment she answered the phone, tears spilled out of her eyes uncontrollably. She said in a choked vo

    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.

    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

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.

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.

    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?
