Penelope sounded so furious that Henry, who was about to hang up the phone, hesitated and furrowed his brow."Penelope, what's wrong again?"She took a long breath and quietly stepped back, desperately attempting to keep her voice regular."How are you going to convince me that you aren't lying to me? You brought me all the way to a city I'm unfamiliar with, for fuck's sake! You have to give me a clear explanation and tell me what you're doing! How else can I trust you?"By this point, Henry on the phone had realized something was wrong.He wasn't stupid; in fact, he was quite smart.With a melancholy expression and a frigid laugh, Henry asked Penelope, "Is Caleb by your side?" Hearing his comments, Penelope’s facial expression changed dramatically, and her pupils contracted violently.Henry addressed Caleb directly before she could say anything to contradict it."Caleb, stop wasting your time and efforts. Even if you kill this woman, she won't know where I am, much less wher
"No, I can't rest yet. I will never rest until I find Jamie."Lugh was helpless, so he kept following her.Ember's stamina was waning, possibly due to her anxiety and the fact that she had been walking around in the underground garage for quite some time.The stretched strings in her heart tightened even more as time passed. Yet, they still hadn't spotted Jamie.Finally, Ember's body swayed and fell to one side, as she was unable to endure anymore.When Lugh noticed this, he instantly rushed towards her, firmly holding her up.Sighing helplessly, he carried her back to the ward.-Caleb stepped out of the villa and into the car with large strides.Avery was overjoyed and told him, "Dad, I've just located the bad guy's whereabouts! Let's go to Villa 88 in Clearwater Bay right now."Avery had just completed his investigation into the spending records of the individual who had recently booked a room at the Begonia Hotel.The addresses on his expenditure records were all in the
"However, seeing as the two of us have been friends for years, I can fulfill a small request for you to see your precious daughter first."What was sent subsequently was a video.In the video, Jamie was bound to a chair and unable to move a muscle.Her hospital gown was ragged and torn, her hair was a mess, and her face was covered in tears."Let me go! If you don't let me go, my mommy and daddy will definitely not let you go! They will bring the police to arrest you."Caleb choked up when he heard Jamie shout out "mommy and daddy" without hesitation.His grip on the phone tightened and the look under his eyes became increasingly dark and menacing.Caleb instantly noticed something.He turned up the volume on the phone and held his breath. After a while, he asked the others surrounding him, "Did you guys hear the voice in the video?"The assistant and his men nodded hesitantly, "I heard it. What's wrong with the sound, Mr Lane?"A smile appeared beneath his eyes."Did you gu
Caleb walked into the seaside hut hurriedly when he heard Jamie's voice. His body trembled fiercely the whole time. The man who had always been cool and had great restraint over his own emotions, was on the verge of tears.He walked in large strides, undid Jamie's bonds, and carried her in his arms.His large palm rested on her shoulder, softly patting it, and his voice was soft."Don’t cry. Daddy is here, I'll take you home now."Jamie's emotions collapsed to the extreme at this point, releasing all of her pent-up feelings from the previous few days as well as her fear for today.Her small hands wrapped around his neck, and she cried till she couldn't breathe.Hearing Jamie's sobbing, Caleb felt as if half of his heart had been ripped out, and it hurt like hell."Jamie, don't be afraid anymore. No one can bully you now."As she was crying, her face changed color abruptly and her body twitched. Perhaps it was because of the excessive crying. Either that, or she had been under i
Lugh did not hesitate to answer Avery's call, placing the phone to his ear."Avery, has Jamie been found yet?""Uncle Lugh, Jamie is having a heart attack! Hurry up and inform Mommy that Daddy and I are on the way back!"Lugh was the person who knew the most about Jamie's condition. Now was the best time to call him.When Lugh heard these remarks, he couldn't decide whether he should be glad or sad for a moment. "Okay, don't worry, I'll contact the doctor right away."Fortunately, this hospital had a very good cardiologist that he was familiar with.He instantly contacted this friend and informed him of Jamie’s plight.Caleb went to the hospital with Jamie in his arms and immediately sent her to the operating theater.Caleb’s trim frame leaned heavily against the wall as he watched the red light lighting up throughout the procedure.Lugh scowled, standing outside the operating theater with a melancholic expression.Jamie already had congenital heart problems, and her mind was
Without hesitation, Caleb headed toward Ember's ward.He entered the ward and saw her lying on the hospital bed with her brows furrowed. He felt a pang of sadness racing through him.His fingertips tenderly rested on her forehead, smoothing down her furrowed brows."Don't worry. Jamie has returned. She’s fine. Since you're tired, rest well. When you wake up, you'll be able to see her."Caleb was with Ember at the hospital bed when his phone vibrated twice.He took it out and nonchalantly swept it, and his deep gaze was frigid."Caleb, time's up. You wouldn't dare to come to the Begonia Hotel, would you!"When Caleb saw the message sent by Henry, his grip on his phone tightened, and veins rippled at his wrist.He arose and looked at Ember, who was laying on the hospital bed, before walking away with big, quick strides.He arrived outside Jamie's operation theater and called Lugh to the side."I'll leave this place to you first. I have some things to take care of. I'll be right
"Caleb, we need to talk. I have so much to tell you."Caleb realized what Henry was planning when he saw Penelope.He smirked. "Oh, so this is the plan?"Penelope seemed to have inhaled a lot of fragrance. Her cheeks were flushed pink, her energy seemed drained out, and she was on the verge on pouncing onto Caleb.Caleb looked at her coldly in disgust. Then, he subconsciously stepped back.He covered her mouth and nose with one hand and strangled her with another.-Ember received a call not long after Caleb left the hospital.She opened her eyes sleepily and picked up the phone after seeing no one around in the ward.It was an unknown call.Ember guessed it was from the kidnapper who kidnapped Jamie.A deep voice talked when she answered the phone."Miss your daughter?"The kidnapper tried to tempt Ember.Alerted, Ember froze before asking immediately, "Who are you? Where's my daughter?"The man chuckled disdainfully and said faintly, "You don't have to know who I am. D
Avery grasped Ember's hand tightly and refused to let go."Mommy, where are you going? I'll get Daddy to go with you."Ember refused. "There's no time. Tell Daddy to follow the black car in the basement."Ember was worried and too panicky to think wisely.Avery was sure it was a trap.He exclaimed immediately, "Mommy, did someone call you just now? Can you show me the number? They must be lying because Jamie is in the operating room downstairs."Lugh forbade Avery to tell Ember about Jamie's illness as he did not want her to worry and blame herself.But Avery must stop Ember from falling into the trap.Hope washed over Ember as she stared at Avery."Avery, did you say you found Jamie?"Avery nodded heavily and explained, "Yeah, Daddy and I found her, but Jamie is unwell. She's still in the operating room."Ember stood up quickly, grabbed Avery's hand, and said anxiously, "Take me there."The two of them hurried to the operating room.Ember's eyes were all teared up when sh
