Before Jamie came to her senses, a black-hooded man rushed out of the black limousine, picked her up from the ground, got into the car and quickly closed the door.The sudden turn of events frightened Jamie, making her burst into tears."Ah, let me go! Let me go, you bad guy!"The car door was closed. Jamie shouted at the top of her lungs, but to no avail. People outside couldn't hear the sound in the car at all.Without further ado, the car quickly left the underground parking garage.Ember and Caleb were overwrought.They had searched the hospital twice, but couldn't find Jamie.Avery was not in the mood to study at home when he learned that her sister was missing. He urged the housekeeper to take him to the hospital, saying that he wanted to lend a hand.In Jamie's ward, Ember wept tears of self-reproach as she said to herself, "It's all my fault. What should I do if something bad happens to Jamie?"At that moment, Caleb received a call from the men he had dispatched to kee
They had to go and look for Jamie since there was no surveillance footage.Caleb picked up Avery from the ground and strode off in a hurry."Your sister will be fine," he said firmly, not knowing whether he was comforting Avery or himself.Just when everyone was looking for Jamie in the underground parking garage, Caleb's phone suddenly rang.Holding Avery with one hand, Caleb took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID.It was an unknown number.Caleb knitted his brow as he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. He answered the call and put the phone to his ear."Who are you?"As soon as he spoke, a frosty voice came from the phone. "Caleb Lane, long time no see."Caleb instantly recognized the identity of the man on the other end of the phone—Henry Brooks!Caleb would never forget this man.Upon hearing his voice, Caleb tightened his grip on the phone and asked coldly, "Did you take Jamie away?"He already knew the answer after he posed the question.Henry burst out la
Caleb calmed down soon enough. After regaining composure, he asked angrily, "Where do we meet? When are you going to give me back my daughter?"Caleb sounded calm, whereas Henry sounded delighted.After he broke into a fit of laughter, he said casually, "I will send you the address later. I will be waiting for you there at 8:00 p.m. tonight."With that, he just hung up on Caleb, not allowing him to keep talking.Coldness crept into Caleb's eyes as he looked at the phone screen that had gone dark.Avery was beside Caleb just now. After Caleb hung up the phone, Avery grabbed his finger and shook it gently. He gave Caleb a worried look as he asked anxiously, "Daddy? Have you found Jamie? Did someone kidnap her? Is she in danger?"Caleb turned his head and glanced at Ember and Lugh who were not far away looking for Jamie in the underground parking garage. They didn't look at him, nor did they hear his phone conversation. Only then did he feel a little relieved.Caleb knelt down, low
After a while, the father and the son discovered that it was just a virtual number. They couldn't trace the other party's location with that phone number.For a moment, the two of them were caught in a dilemma again.Just then, a message popped up on Caleb's phone.He took the phone and saw the message. "8:00 p.m. tonight, Room No. 888, Begonia Hotel. Be there or be square."Caleb's frown deepened as he looked at the message. Without a second thought, he quickly replied to the other party's message."I want to know Jamie's condition."After Avery saw the name "Begonia Hotel", he swiftly moved his hands on the keyboard and hacked into the system of Begonia Hotel.He quickly investigated the reservation information for that room, only to find out that it had been reserved two months ago.The surveillance footage of Begonia Hotel was only retained for two months. The surveillance footage would be overwritten by the new one after two months.Avery looked anxious when he looked at
Avery replied seriously, "Okay."Caleb's phone call went out, and the other party answered very quickly.His voice was incomparably low and cold as he asked, "Henry, don't you want to see me? Why do you have to wait until 8:00 p.m? Where are you now, I can come over to see you now."Henry heard Caleb's voice and the corner of his lips couldn't help but smile."Caleb, the initiative of the game is with me now, and the rules of the game are also set by me. It's not like you can meet me whenever you say."Henry's pleasant voice retained a tinge of mockery. "I really didn't expect that your ability has far exceeded my imagination. To be able to find the contact information in such a short period of time."Then why don't we play a game to see if you can find your precious daughter before 8:00 p.m?"Avery's two small hands were quickly typing on the keyboard, attempting to determine the other party's whereabouts using the mobile phone signal.However, he soon discovered that the othe
"Penelope, do you want something bad to happen to your parents? I'm asking for the last time; where the hell are you?"The man's voice was chilly and filled with intimidation.Even if Penelope had no conscience, she would never dare to risk her parents' lives. Hearing his threat made her body jolt."I'm currently in Xillia City..." Penelope swiftly stated her whereabouts.Caleb's brows tightened. Without rushing, he lowered his voice and continued to probe. "When did you meet Henry? What is your relationship?"Penelope was astonished and she asked, "How did you know?"How did Caleb learn that she knew Henry?Caleb's deep eyes blazed with frigid light, and he let out a bitter laugh. "It appears that you actually know Henry. What kind of conspiracy do you have?"While questioning, Caleb directed the driver in front of him to rush to where Penelope was.There must be some relationship between her and Henry.If he found Penelope, he may be able to find Henry and Jamie.While Cal
Despite their cooperation, Penelope was never allowed to inquire about Henry's personal affairs.A few days ago, Henry suddenly said that he wanted to give her the opportunity to reunite with Caleb and transported her to Xillia City, where she was situated in this villa.Since then, the two had not seen one another again. Penelope had no idea when she would be able to see Caleb, let alone know what Henry was up to.Penelope's neck was immediately constricted. Her face grew red, her eyes soon going bloodshot. She struggled furiously and frantically, reaching out and heavily hitting Caleb on the wrist."Caleb, I don't know what you are talking about."The power on Caleb's palm surged again, the veins in his wrist rippled, and his entire body was filled with rage.His voice was all contorted and scary, as though he truly was a demon."I'll ask you again. Where the hell is Henry?"Penelope couldn't help but roll her eyes as she was pinched, as if she was about to suffocate at any m
At the same time, the sharp dagger was pressed against Penelope's neck."Take out your phone and call Henry. Ask him where he is today and what he's doing right now."The man's voice was extremely chilly."I'll only give you ten seconds to think about it. I can't be sure where my dagger will strike after the time's up."The chilly blade rubbed on Penelope's flesh, forcing her body to shake fiercely.At this point, she recognized how terrible the man in front of her was.He was far scarier than she had expected.Penelope trembled as she took the mobile phone at her side, fearing that the dagger would land on her face.She called after looking up Henry's contact information in her address book.After certain that Penelope was not playing any pranks, Caleb sent a message to Avery in the car outside."Avery, continue searching for Henry's mobile phone signal and see if you can determine his location."Just now, the call duration with Henry had been too short for him to crack. Ho
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
